I have a Nexus 7 running 4.1.1 and have just updated my S3 to 4.1 (via the Vodafone KIES update on Monday).
I know how S-Beam and Android beam differ but basically now that I have 4.1+ on both devices I expected to be able to Android Beam images, mp3's etc.. from N7 to S3 and vice versa.
When I NFC connect the two devices with an image open on the N7 the file beams successfully using ANdroid Beam. WHen I use the same image file on the s3 to beam it to the N7 a Google Play window opens up on the N7 instead and the beam doesn't work.
I've read people saying that S-Beam needs to be disabled so that the S3 is forced to use Android Beam, I did try this as well but a message pops up asking me to enable S-Beam...
So in summary, both products are Jelly Bean with Android Beam enabled and the beaming works fine from N7 to S3 but when the return beam is attempted the S3 does appear to default to S-Beam and ignores Android Beam.
Any ideas if this is solvable without custom roms and/or bloated 3rd party software installs?
I was really annoyed but this also, there's no real solution for now. Samsung doesn't seem to want to use all JB features!

Hi!
Does anyone have the samsung television remote tablet app?
My Tab won't see it now that I am running CM9 on it...
Its this app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...sMSwyLDEsImNvbS5zYW1zdW5nLnJlbW90ZVRWX1RBQiJd
That's pretty cool! Too bad I don't have a Sammy TV or player
My tab won't either. I just knew that such app exists from your post! But I guess the reason I can't install it is that my country is not supported yet.
Seems to be a great app though
I had to go back to HC (after so many time in ICS, HC is just ugly, IMO) to get this app, well, is the Samsung Smart View-Tab, but it works just like the remote only app plus DualView if your TV supports it. The remote only is supposed to be for the original GalaxyTab 7" or devices with a resolution of 1024x600.
Samsung.Smartview-Tab2.0.3
For the app to work in ICS (and maybe other non samsung tablets), first flash this in CWM (adds some samsung files): PatchSamsungView.zip, then install the app.
Do you have actual version 2.2?
So I got my SGS3 yesterday and my friend is thinking of picking up a game nexus. Are S beam and android beam going to play well with each other?

SGS3 also has Android Beam.
Galaxy S III comes with both S Beam and Android Beam. S Beam is (currently) a galaxy S III only feature; thus will only work on galaxy s III devices. s beam uses nfc chips to initiate a wifi-direct connection between the phones, whereas android beam uses nfc to initiate connection and transfer files. The main differentiations between S Beam and android bean is the ability to transfer large files (up to 2 gigs), support more file types, and faster transfer rate.
Hi,
I was wondering is there any ROM or app that allows me to view multiple apps at the same time ?
If i can resize the app windows that would be great. The functionality i am looking for is similar to what video player does in S3. Ideally i would like to keep google talk and skype (or maybe some other app) open and on top of other windows.
I am using Galaxy S3 GT-I9300 (Official Jelly Bean ROM (Poland)).
Hello,
I'm posting here because I'm not making progress with Samsung support.
I'm no expert so please be patient with me.
I own a NAS drive with Twonky 6 media sharing. I can access the media shares
through Samsung Link on my new SmartTV (UN32EH5300) successfully. But I want more.
I'd like to access the shares and send them to the SmartTV from my Galaxy Player 5.
My first effort to do this involved the predecessor to Samsung Link - Samsung AllShare
This app comes with the factory firmware (Gingerbread 2.3.5) for the Galaxy Player.
AllShare cannot detect the SmartTV. Thinking it might be a router problem, I opened the UDP 1900
and TCP 2869 UPnP ports for the TV. No help. Samsung support told me it might be a firmware
problem on the Galaxy Player. As there is no Samsung firmware update available, I began
acquainting myself with the subject of custom ROMs. However, I've read that most
custom ROM's do not support AllShare. Alternatively, I cannot install Samsung Link on the
Galaxy Player; I receive a message that it is not supported for this version of the Galaxy
Player. Does anyone have an idea to get the Galaxy Player to recognize the SmartTV through
Samsung AllShare/Samsung Link or something else?
Next, I started downloading UPnP apps from Google. I tried BubbleUPnP, Twonky Beam,
ZappoTV, etc. None of these Android apps would recognize the SmartTV. I even installed
a couple of UPnP "detectors" - apps that should list available UPnP devices. These also
failed to detect the SmartTV. There are quite a few apps for UPnP. Might one that I have not
tried work? Does anyone have a recommendation for one that might work?
If this can be accomplished with a custom ROM, I might try it. I just wonder how many
stock apps I might lose on the upgraded Galaxy Player. I'd appreciate any suggestions.
Thanks,
Bob
Hi guys, I have tested 2 phones - one HTC and another Xiaomi running Android One up-to-date OS. Both devices are not able to find Samsung Q60 Smart TV when trying to screen cast. All the devices (phones and TV) are connected to the same WiFi network and are fully updated to the latest versions of software.
The TV is working perfectly though with Huawei running with Android 10. Also the HTC and Xiaomi are able to screen cast on Sony Smart TV. So it looks like Android One is not compatible with Samsung Q60 series smart TV, is that right ? And is there anything I can do to resolve this issue, except buying another phone/TV ?
As far as I understood from forums.androidcentral.com - Samsung Smart TVs require the device to use AllShareCast, WiDi, or Miracast to do Screen Mirroring. Android One phones run "stock" Android, which I don't think supports any of those. Is there a way to modify some system settings to change the way it is screen casting??
