M24LR NDEF not recognised by Windows Phone 8?

I've tried a number of ways to get M24LR tags recognised by a Windows Phone 8 device (Lumia 920) - but to no avail.  WP8 is supposed to recognise NDEF formatted tags but doesn't.  I've tried formatting with the STM NDEF tool and using a borrowed Android phone to use the suggested app - the tags are recognised in Android and yet not in WP8.

Any suggestions?    Is there something low level I need to set or program apart from just telling the STM software to format and encode (in my case a simple plain-text) an NDEF?    Or is there some manufacturer ID/protocol setting in addition to the format as NDEF that I need to make sure is set to get compatibility?    WP8 will not permit low level format but will allow write/read with other brands of ''compatible'' NDEF tags...

Any advice greatly appreciated - love the energy harvesting feature which is why I want to use STM M24LR tags rather those from another vendor...

Cheers -- Alex

Hello,

WP8 is supposed to recognised NDEF, but in ISO 14443 protocol,

And might not support yet ISO 15693 (which is the protocol used per M24LR)

We do have the M24SR that is be compatible with WP8 phones.

If you really need the energy harvesting function with the M24SR, please send me your email.

Thanks

Thanks for this - it's useful to know. 

I've probably missed something but how do I send you my email - is there a private messaging dialog or do I send to the moderator?

Cheers -- Alex
