Yesterday I tried to send a photo in my Xperia P to Galaxy S III via NFC but something went wrong. After put the 2 smartphone's back close enough, Xperia P started vibrate then noticed me "touch to beam/send". I did touched it, the photo went half way and I heard a beep sound. After that, the photo didn't send to S III. I've tried many times to send photos in my LT22i to S3 and vice versa but nothing happened. If anybody know how to fix this, please help me. Thanks a lot.

Not sure, but I wasnt able to send my buddy a photon over NFC (he has a Galaxy Nexus) until I grabbed the default ICS album app.

Hey guys, whenever i send a Picture Message from a photo taken in potrait, it always sends the picture sideways. ie, all my portrait pictures get rotated 90 degrees, and look as if they were in landscape. My wife has a nexus one, and this issue is non existent. I use chompSMS, but this issue is also present in the stock messaging app, and handcent. i have looked through all the settings, but cannot find what would seem to be the answer. Any help would much be appreciated thanks.
no one else has this issue? or cares lol. Its driving me insane
Crop it before you send it. Works on uploading to Facebook. You can select the full picture but just crop and save and when you upload it the picture will be facing the right way. Strange but true.
But why is this specific to this phone. The nexus one doesnt have this issue. Why would samsung make us go through all this work to send a lousy pic message in portrait mode!
My iphone didn't do it either. But we can only hope it will get fixed on an update.

My iphone 3g, 3gs both did it properly, on at&t and on t-mobile.
I don't have the phone but I suspect it's using the accelerometer to tell how your holding the phone and then automatically rotating it after taking the picture. It's a feature but one I'd like to believe you could turn off in the camera settings? Hope that helps.
I have noticed the same thing, but I have no idea how to "fix" although I suspect its the custom camera app
It's not the messaging app's problem. It's the camera. If you were to take a portait picture, then plug your phone into your computer and view the pictures, they would all be sideways.
It's a really stupid issue that should not exist.
it pisses me off too, if you go into the gallery the pictures are saved the right way but as soon as you send it, its incorrect
Anyone know if this will be resolved in the froyo update? or if there is a hack to fix this?
would his be fixed if I changed the stock to the captivate's camera? Or a different camera app

I have the issue with the stock messaging app in CM10 (10/29/12 nightly) on my Galaxy S2 (Hercules). I know that this is a thread for the Vibrant, but I am looking for solutions as well. I have found that Handcent properly displays pictures taken in portrait mode, but would prefer to use the stock messaging app as the Jelly Bean app has the pop-up/quick reply feature that I used Handcent for.
I recently made the switch from a samsung galaxy s II to the xperia S and one feature i miss the most is having call recording.
now i know that it is usually a hardware issue but i know for a fact that samsung and sony ericsson(now just sony) have never had issues with call recording and never locked it down.
When i got my phone, i went on an app hunt in the market for an app that would record both sides of a phonecall automatically, loud and clear. Unfortunately, i haven't been able to find one yet.
does anyone know of an app they have tried and found to work on the xperia s?
bump... i hope someone knows of such an app...
I haven't got my Xperia S yet but once tried "Record My Calls" with my X10 and I remember it worked pretty fine. You can try it or search for other app oout there.

You'll need 2way call recorder patched Kernel and root...!!! In short, use DoomKernel...!!!
GS2 can do that with Total Recall without root. How can Xperia S do so? I have to keep warranty. Thanks

There are many "call recorder"... Which developer's you are using?
Hi, i also cant find any app. Tried at least ten and none works? if someone have found one, link would be welcome!
I'm buy & using CallRecorder v1.2.7 all working properly.
My Xperia S is rooted ICS.
Try it!
I too had an app on my X10 that allowed for 2 way call recordings, I cant recall the name off the top of my head (perhaps it simply was Call Recorder). What I do recall was it had a very simple icon of a red dot on a black background; perhaps that may help someone.
Thanks.

Try that app, it works fine on my Acro S (which should be the same)
But I do remember that an older version on my Nexus used a lot of battery. Then again, everything on the Nexus did
Hi, just got my S3 a week ago and so far I've been really happy and impressed with it.
Have just noticed a problem though, my phone's s-beam does not work when I tried to send media files like images or videos from gallery to my friend's S3. On the other hand, my friend was able to send media files to me and had no problems receiving them. I can share webpages with him though.
Settings on both phones are the same, (e.g. with NFC on, Android Beam on, S-Beam on, Wifi Direct on) Any thoughts? Thanks so much. Really appreciate it.
*Just an update on 25/6/2012, I think I've just solved this problem by freezing ShareShotService in Titanium Backup. Will update again if it doesn't work, thanks everyone!
Yes! I have this issue too.. Are you rooted? Is your friend?

Hi! Both of our phones are stock and not rooted. What a relief to know that I'm not the only one having this problem. Haha. Was told by someone from another forum that apparently the files are too large to be sent. But I highly doubt that's the reason behind it though, because my friends and I tried sending a picture that we took using the phone's camera. He could send the exact picture that we took while my S3 couldn't. My friend could send me a minute long video (huge file size) that was recorded using his S3 camera as well. Hmm...
Can you send apps okay? I can always seem to send apps without issue. I'm upgrading to the newer firmware to see if that fixes it.

Have not tried sending applications actually. But it is rather apparent that the both of us are having the same problem. Yeah meanwhile let's see if there are more users having the same problem and if they have the solution for this!
Do you use a protective cover?

Hi, yes I do. I've thought about it being a possible reason why S-Beam wouldn't work too. But I've tried doing the same after removing it and still to no avail.

I am having the same problem. For the first few days, I was able to use s beam and it was absolutely great. But few days later, I cant send files to my .gf who is using s 3, however she is able to send me files although both of us have the same setting. Any solution for this?

Hi, yeah so far I've came across with quite a number of people facing this exact problem as well. Up this thread for awareness!
I am able to send images and videos using S-Beam but can't send APKs or ZIP files from ES File Explorer over Wifi Direct.
You need to make sure you are in the gallery looking at the image you want to send before you 'tap' the devices.
I'd suggest turning android beam off as well, see if that fixes anything.
Just an update, I think I have just solved my problem by freezing ShareShotService in Titanium Backup. Will update again if it doesn't work. Thanks everyone!
Many users are having this same problem.
Cannot transfer files(pictures, files, videos) between Galaxy S3 devices, using S-Beam.
Android Beam works just fine. Note that Android Beam is used to transfer data such as Contacts, Browser URLs, etc. that feature works just fine.
S-Beam is used to transfer other file types, videos, images, etc.
This is not whether you use a case or not, or turning on WIFI direct first, it just doesn't work.
When you put the two devices together that's NFC working, however the files are actually being transfered through WIFI Direct.
The problem is when you S-Beam and touch the screen to send the file, the receiver device hangs on "Connecting" and ends up with "Connection failed."
I've tested this on stock devices, bought in US, Germany and SouthAmerica, White and Blue ones.
does anybody have any other insight on this?
Update 7/10/2012: I've found out that it may be a available in some roms shipped to certain countries only. However I went to my local store and asked for a replacement of the device, I tried in the same store with the demo device and worked. I will report back when i test with the other devices.
Update 7/12/2012: After messing around with it, we've found that when s-beam is not working, then you put your phone in Airplane mode, then switch on NFC and S-Beam and it works. It is a very weird behavior sometimes, works some other not. It seems until now It could be a bug in the ICS 4.0.4 stock rom.
might be stupid but are you sure both phones have s beam turned on?

yup nfc, s beam doesn't work here.
Oh hey guys, I've been having the same problem as well with my rooted phone (I didn't really think being rooted was the problem anyway) and the people at O2 were to incompetent to help anyway... but I read the post by LordKuroda about how freezing ShareShotService made S-Beam work again, but since I didn't have Titanium Backup I tried clearing the data for Nfc Service, Nfc Test, ShareShotService, and Wi-Fi Direct share, and it works now!
My problem was that I could send files fine but couldn't receive files.. And I've been able to receive a photo and a video fine. Funny thing though, I went to check my NFC settings, and Wi-Fi Direct was enabled, but S-Beam wasn't :silly:
Now I hope it wasn't just a fluke I could receive those files... :fingers-crossed:
Hope this helps!
Hi, factory reset my xperia U and lost the folder of the stock photos that come on the device, could anyone upload it for me, otherwise I'll have to go into a store and bluetooth it across and look really weird.
Thanks.
Anyone able to do this?
I went to three stores, one U didn't have the pics, one was broken and the other didn't stock it.
these?

Yeah that's them, that's great thanks.
Nearly on every custom rom I have used, whatsapp is not working perfectly. My sent messages and messages I received are delivered very late sometimes. I do not use wifi sleep setting when screen is off, wifi is always on. And if there is no wifi, mobile data is on. When I reply a message, then the conversation is ok and occurs real-time. But if I don't touch the phone for a long time, incoming messages are not received instantly. And if I start a conversation my sent messages are not delivered for a long time (again sometimes).
i found this guy who has the exact same issue as me, so i just copied and paste his problem : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1979064
seems im not the only one.
any idea ? some setting to change on the router or something ?
no one has any idea ? :'(
I got that problem with ICS too.
I am using a GB custom ROM now and it works perfectly, no issues in WhatsApp anymore. Try it too!
