SBeam not working... - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all, I have a question with SBeam.
I have everything enabled (Wifi direct on, nfc on, Sbeam on) and when i put my two S3's together it says touch to beam. After I touch to beam nothing happens... and no files get sent. Anyone else having this problem?

yeah same here but i thought it was because of that i have a custom rom and my wife is on (still) stock. and that it doesnt work cuz of my custom rom

Try tapping to beam, then pull the phones apart a little bit - that worked for me yesterday!

FIX your screen wake up delay, and CRT glitch !

Hello "fresh" users !
I got the phone 2 days ago.
On the second day I root it, flashed custom rom.
Then I found two weird things:
1- Is screen delay.
2-Screen OFF animation glitch (CRT).
I wipe everything I can, I did full restore, back up, nothing help !
I try almost all roms,nothing help. (Only my stock and Lite'ning Rom work good)
The problem was "Kernel" (deep sleeping)
To FIX this problems: I recommended Ninphetamine kernel.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1172520
http://ninpo.qap.la/kernels/sgs2/ninphetamine-1.3/
Again this kernel FIX for me "delay" and "CRT" (1.4 only) (1.3 CRT issue detected)
This little HELP only for "beginners"....Be happy with your new device !
What do you mean by "CRT glitch"?
Always been working for me, no matter which kernel/ROM I was using

Now that you say that... I think I have it, mix of black and white stripes x_x and i'm using ninphetamine's kernel
No no no!
The only reason that version 1.4 has no wake lag is that it doesn't sleep, so you will get huge standby drain.
1.4 has debug code in it! Don't use it unless you are debugging crashes!
DONT USE 1.4!

*SUCCES* Gingerbread Screen Rotation Animation

This mod depends on Samsung framework and wil not work on CM7 or other AOSP based builds.
Edit:
Well its done! Check out de video i made: http://www.izlesene.com/video/galaxy-s2-fancy-rotation-animation/5208061
A video from someone with better vidskillz
thnx mccune
I am testing if everything works on the phone. If so i will post instructions
Disclaimer: Thanks go out to Samsung for integrating fancy rotation in Gingerbread on the Note.
I only did find out which file caused the fancy rotation. (Why dev if it allready exists right?)
Attached libsurfaceflinger.so and libsurfaceflinger_client.so are from a 2.3.6 Note rom (KKA i believe)
Edit2:
Aight here it comes. This is tested to be working 100% on GB 2.3.6 XWKK2:
Push atached libsurfaceflinger.so and libsurfaceflinger_client.so to /system/lib
or copy it with rootexplorer and replace, your phone will soft reboot.
or create a cwm zip and share
voila
Custom rom builders: sacrafice your roms to this mod
CWM flashable zip by Intratech
Allright. I will make some sparetime and dive in to The note source to figure out if i can find something in myorientationlistener. I think The mFancyRotationAnimation could give something

Can confirm, works fine on CheckRom.
Okay, one small problem, sometimes if locking the phone upside down with CRT-animation on (both on screen off and screen on), when the screen comes on(press a button or something), sometimes the image shown on the screen is upside down and mirrored, but the touchscreen remains the same (not upside down), but it goes away when you unlock the phone. I don't know if it's from this or something else though.
Works on checkrom v4!!!

Noticed that too just now. Also after a reboot: Under CRT-Animations the image is flipped upside down
Awesome!!! But it needs a little bit of work, because it doesn't display correctly the images in Gallery when rotating.
No probs on XWKK2. Also no flipped image on lock here.
I can not reproduce the errors yo mention.

Hello, Why i can´t make video calls over 3G network, without any application, my phone is unlocked, use a network that enables this function. why no icon for the function? currently use a custom rom.
Thank you.

There are a few roms with this capability but I doubt whether it works.
Sensation Rom in the ported Section, VK Rom, Phone Bricker Rom, Ultimatum rom... All these have the Video call button in their dialers.
Hope it works.

Why you doubt it works. function works fine if its in there. Havent used it in a while tho, as the one I did it with no longer has FFC.
Its cool, but not something mainstream, and not very popular so its not a requirement in ROM's.

DAGr8 AOKP JB Preview Q&A

Not sure if any of you have run into this yet, but I am using Pocket Casts to listen to netcasts, when I shut off the screen everything keeps playing fine, however when I turn back on the screen the phone soft reboots. Does it at the same spot every time. I tried moving the netcasts to the sdcard instead of external sd as a test. Still does it...
This happens to me on both the Aug 8th and 9th build from DAGr8, But does not happen on any of the other JB previews builds. And Yes, I wiped everything
I use my phone in the car for netcast listening a ton, so this is something that keeps me from using this daily unfortunately.
Other than that, everything else seems to run great. just seems like an odd thing to reboot the phone, maybe it has something to do with the audio players and how they interact with the lock screen as they like to put up a player wallpaper thing on the lock screen...
Thanks for the Q&A!!
I can not get google now working. It hangs on initializing then cant connect. I know on jamies cm10hybrid/ jb we needed the internal kernel....DAGr8 Do you think that kernel would solve the prob? Im not sure if you use Gnow....or if you recommend using a diff kernel...( going to re read op now too)
Thank you so much for AOKP!

The hotwire-internal kernel should work fine with DAG's JB rom, not sure if it'll fix your issue or not, but should be easy to test. But I don't see a kernel package from DAG if you wanted to flash back...
I prefer the hotwire-internal kernel myself as it has BLN support where as the R5S1 included with this rom i think does not? if that's important to you...

I'm also seeing that behavior with Google Now. Regardless, I'm loving this ROM. So glad to see a JB build of AOKP!

Excellent observation! I would like to know this too. Ill just flash it anyway. What could go wrong? lol. Also sometimes the voice to text option doesnt connect. I think youre onto something here Rocket42.
I know we're not supposed to ask for ETA's and im not but does anyone know (in lamen's terms) the reason why camcorder doesnt work? Is it a compatibility issue cause JB is so new?

I think the issue is in the CM10 base - JB PA also has broken video at the moment.
Edit: I see JB PA dropped an update this morning and I didn't see reference to broken video on the OP. Maybe a matter of time? :fingers-crossed:

Loving the Aug 9th build except for a few issues (incl the Google Now referred to above) - the changelog states that "wake on volume" is built in but it neither works nor do I see a setting to turn it on like in other CM9/CM10. Do any of you have that?
On the kernel thing would we just flash the AOKP JB and then flash hotwire's internal.zip, then followed by JB Gapps?

I can't find that setting either.
As far as the flashing sequence, that should work although I did AOKP, JB GAPPS and just a few minutes ago flashed hotwire's internal. No issues to report.
I used to change kernels all the time on my Nexus, I would just flash the kernel whenever, no wiping. Can't hurt to wipe cache/dalvik, but no need to reflash the ROM.

Anyone know how to turn off the pen pointer? I tried the fix to edit the pen file but that didn't seem to work. Also, I am getting Process:system is not responding error. Any ideas on either of these?
Features and changelog?
I'm sure I will feel dumb when someone answers this but I could not find the feature list or changelog for JB. The AOKP site only references ICS milestone 6 as the latest. I tried following the links from the DEV thread and I tried a google search which led to rootzwiki but I didn't find anything for the Galaxy Note. I'd like to try this out but I'd first like to know what is/isn't working.
CPU Settings Do Not Stick
I have gone into the performance settings and I usually change my min frequency to 192 (max at 1566) and checked on "set on boot"- I have noticed that the frequencies do not stick at all but keep reverting to 384/1566 - does anyone else see this?

Try pushing power + home button simultaneously (for 5 sec or something like that)
Turn on motion in settings and then swipe the edge of your palm from one side of the screen to the other.

Yeap... no crack there: he is right.
That combination has been the default method in stock ROMs since the days of the first Galaxy S, and even although the swype thing works in the S III, the PWR+HOME combo was kept.

Hi,

Latest Jelly Bean, you mean XXLIB (Polish version)? Unless you flashed some mods or anything else (a modified SystemUI.apk ?)
