It was quite embarrassing when I tried to send a picture to a galaxy nexus through the gallery with Nfc and found out that it only works with s beam. I can receive from the nexus but I can't send. I understand s beam is faster but why doesn't Samsung support android beam in gallery? That's where it's mostly going to be used. S beam is quite useless, only a small part of android phones support Nfc and even less support s beam! Is there a way to fix this on stock roms? There really isn't any benefit in locking down this technology.

It does not work. Works for everything else, but not gallery. Maybe it's because I'm on jelly bean leak. But I remember trying on ics too.

Then it's time for a full wipe, I probably messed up something somewhere! Thanks for your help!
It still won't work. I fully wiped to install new official jb. But I still can't transfer pictures to the galaxy nexus.
The other phone has to have s beam (e.g another gs3)

Thats what I though and tried to say in op but people are saying It works with android beam. Can someone try to transfer a picture from gallery in S3 to a nexus and report?
I just transferred to my nexus 7 via Android beam. S beam was off. Worked fine.

What rom are you using?
Apparently this is a common issue with transfering from the s3 gallery, I did a google search and found a few people reporting the same problem. It's odd that it works with the nexus 7. I'm going to try with a third party app later.

Hello,
I bought a new indash for my truck the Sony xav-601bt and it supports mirrorlink technology for gs3. Pretty much the unit becomes an extension of your phone all the way down to playing angry birds on it if you wanted to. However I cannot connect it and after searching and speaking to numerous Sony tech supports that had no freakin clue of what to do I found that Samsung neeeds to release the app for it to be compatible. If anyone has it or runs into it I would appreciate it if you posted it here. Its supposed to be released on 8/29 from a rumor I read. It goes by the name Samsung drive-link I believe. Any help is much appreciated

I have the same problem - I installed a xav601-bt in my car wanting to use mirror link. Google maps is so much better than the $2000 nav unit in our brand new Honda Odyssey ... but I digress. I saw that Sony-asia has released a firmware update for the unit. Took my chances and installed it (NOTE THIS: had to take off the faceplate and press reset to get it out of the reboot loop) installed fine but neither the "mirror link" nor "telenav" app work. Properly. USB device not recognized. I understand I need an app for the phone. Mirror link or drive link. This will be perfect if they get it to work - I want my Google nav to display on my head unit. Controlling it would be bonus. C'mon Samsung, get it going!
One nice thing I did find though if you pair your phone with bluetooth then click on Bluetooth settings for sony automotive you can enable not only calls but audio and that way you can still listen to everything that goes on in your phone such as spoken turn by turn navigation, music, YouTube, Netflix,etc. Still can't wait for official rollout though. I wonder how they will get around the "USB device not supported" error message when plugging in via USB

I have a Galaxy S2, and just bought a XAV-701BT. The guy at the store said that I would be able to use mirror link with my GS2 when the app was released at the end of this month, but from what I am reading it looks like it will only work on the GS3.
Does anyone know if I will be able to use mirror link on the GS2?
I have already installed the new firmare on the XAV-701BT

Hey,
I have tried every rom available (i9300) and on all of them (besides stock) I seem to have issues with the camera and taking pictures using flash. (Instagram does not even work when using flash on the stock ROM)
It happens on Paranoid Android, CM10, AOPK and any other non stock like ROM.
The moment I take a picture with flash, the first thing I see is. "Gallery has closed"
Am I the only one with this? Because i've been searching and testing for a solution but I cannot find anything.
Looking for your thoughts
Thanks!

I'm having the same issue. Though I'm not sure as to a fix I'm afraid. The only way it works is if you just hit the button and don't touch to focus.
ASOP bug, no choice.
only camera zoom FX is slightly better than stock.
lesser crashes.

I flashed JellyBeer and really liked it. I was going to post a pic on instagram. It let me crop it but once it got to the effects portion it was blank. Googled it and saw there was an issue with the app on December 12. So I flashed JellyBam and the same issue. Restored a nandriod of Blackstar ( TW Rom) and its working fine. Anyone have instagram and experience this?

i know this is an old thread but i am having this problem now. ive tried the latest cm10.1 build and the latest rootbox build and they both do the same thing, when you try to take a video on instagram it turns green and freezes then force closes the app and reboots the phone... how did you get it working? what do you mean by "hw thing"? aany help is greatly appreciated cuz this problem sucks.
I have the same problem with video recording on instagram..I was told by a dev that since our custom roms are not signed n official instagram can't detect the rom correctly meanin its not an official rom...if that makes sense..
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T879 using xda app-developers app
yeah i see what your saying. i wonder of theres any way to fix this??... like is there a way to sign the rom? or make the app read it as being signed? im not a pro at this but im not a total noob either, but ive never delt with anything like this.
Thats not why. It doesn't work on stock either. They just need to fix the app.
it works fine on my stock tw gs3... and worked fine on the one that i flashed cm10.1 onto when it was still stock. pretty sure its an aftermarket jb rom issue. hopefully cm10.2 will fix the camera problems because from what i understand 4.3 is supposed to handle the camera / permissions and security differently. thats what im hoping at least because this seems to have everyone stumped :/
Yes, I checked the market reviews and now most 4.1 JB users are having success and a good time with the app. It still looks like the 4.2 camera is the problem.
ok i see what your saying now. so i wonder if i replaced the 4.2 system camera with a stock 4.1 camera if that would fix the problem?... we'll see when i try it.
Technically yes, but there could be several library files that needs to go with the camera.apk
its weird, some 4.2.2 ROM's it works fine (Right now I'm using PAC, no issues...I THINK I had it working on Carbon, too...)
Others, it'll load the feed, but when you try to upload a picture...App locks up (Like Slim I know I had this issue.)
Wonder if that will help any devs...
I'm currently using latest PAC build, along with latest UBER and Instagram works fine. I can load pictures and watch videos, as well as post pictures. I can record and post videos, but it looks like tv static. Doesn't bother me though since the main functions work excellent.
Can you really say "it works fine" unless all advertised features work correctly?
Good point, I didn't test the video feature...
So it works for the most part, then.

I just tested it with CM 10.1 and worked with a 5mb test file transfer, so it must be something with stock rom.
Anyway notice that NFC max transfer speed is 424 kbit/s, so it is not a very good way to transfer files. Use bluetooth instead.
Photo sharing is part of jelly bean and not supported on its as far as I know

You're also running an apk not made for your device. It may depend on other apps/resources that you don't have installed.
