Is my xM1+ bad?

Hey,
I got mine on Saturday night as well! Here’s some things I’ve noticed.

  • The angle of the read REALLY matters. With my phone, it’s best to read it with the phone angled the same direction that the chip is in.
  • The new proxmark3 RDV4 does NOT work with the glass implants. The new one sends higher voltage and the glasschip antenna shuts down in order to protect it. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1408815241/proxmark3-rdv-40/faqs#project_faq_239516 I’m annoyed by this one because I just spent $340 on the RDv4 at DEFCON. The RDv2 works beautifully and is only $192.
  • I’ve only started getting reads with my phone today. I tested mine, as I got the card I wanted cloned done right there, and I’m able to use it as a transit pass. Freaking sweet, but again, it’s kinda hard to get scanned as the angle is important.

I’m fairly certain yours is working, but I hope someone more knowledgeable chimes in. What app are you using on your phone, which phone is it?
