Just did a quick Google search and it looks like your friend will have to disable SBeam (WiFi Direct-based) and enable Android Beam (Bluetooth-based) as the two are different.

Its a little thing called simulated images. Apple was sued in Germany for doing that and not stating it was not real world performance

Hdmi through wifi

I read somewhere it's possible and I'm getting a new tv.
Can someone tell me what I need to get this to work besides a tv with wifi
Thanks
DLNA enabled tv. Check out the media share app that's pre installed.

Its the connected media app. It should say in the TV specs if it has dlna. If it does then whenever your phone and TV are on the same wifi network you can stream photos and videos to the tv! Its quite nice haha

But your TV must be able to decode or playback the file type you are streaming via DLNA. This is not like HDMI mirroring. Not sure if you can do that via WiFi on EVO 3D.
Get one of the Samsung Smart TV's. What size and price are you looking at getting?

So far best I've seen are the Samsung smart tvs as far as picture and amount of well rounded techy features. They also have been updating the firmware very regularly in that line lately bringing new features and such.

if you happen to have a PlayStation 3 you can stream dlna to it from your phone or computer and hook to any TV.

Hdmi mirroring over wifi isn't here yet. Samsung is working on it and standards are not final yet. But hdmi over wifi would be like a laptop's clone display or the evo 3d's mhl adapter to connect to hdmi. It won't be limited to just specific files but full screen sharing - as in whatever you see on the phone will show on the tv. Hopefully we'll see this later this year.

[Q] A picture is too large a file for Beam?

I wanted to show off the cool features of our phones when my girlfriend brought home her GS3. I pulled out my GNex to beam a photo I had taken earlier, and a notification popped up on my GNex saying the receiving device couldn't accept large files through Beam... Really? What's the point if a pic is too big? That means a video is right out of the question, and I was under the impression that that's what this whole Beam thing was about... Am I missing something? (yes to all your prelim questions too: NFC on, on both, beam on, blah blah...)
NFC transfers data at such a slow, miniscule rate that even a picture would take too long. The point of Beam is to share things like web pages and directions via maps.

Yeah, that's why Samsung developed S Beam which does the actual transfer using wifi direct.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
yea i tried that too, needs to use same wifi network to transfer files
GNex doesn't have S Beam.

The GNex does have wifi direct capabilities though, doesn't it? Is there a way to connect a GNex and gs3 that way to do a large file nfc transfer?

Hardware-wise more or less every phone has it.

Yeah, I guess that makes sense to work. It just defeats the beam purpose that way. Does anyone know if s-beam will install on the GNex like s voice did? Or is that a hardware issue?

Sbeam uses nfc to make the connection and Wi-Fi direct to send the files, only two s3s can currently use s beam

The Android 4.1 Jelly Bean update, which will be coming to Google Nexus soon (and Galaxy S3 apparently in Q4 of 2012), has an improved version of Android Beam that will utilize both NFC and Bluetooth (similarly to how S Beam uses NFC and Wi-Fi Direct) to be able to send larger files, which would really make S Beam redundant. So yes, it is possible, and it will come in a future update; I don't know if there exists any current alternatives at the moment, though (maybe install a custom Jelly Bean ROM when they start popping up?).
That ad where the wife shares videos using NFC is insanely misleading then. I don't really care anyways, can't see myself using this function for anything useful anyways.

You revived a really old thread, but that commercial is not that misleading. NFC is just used to start the initial connection (as Lennyuk stated 2 posts above yours) and wifi is used to transfer the actual files.

Android beam

Ok so I am trying to send a picture to a Samsung g3 via Android beam and it would send? It sends Internet pages and apps but it wound send a picture... It makes the sound but does not do anything else?
Now when I try to send a pic from the g3 to my phone the g3 makes the nosie and shrinks the pic down and says tab to send.. But once you tap it it acts like it sends but it does not send...
Any ideas?

I don't think NFC can transfer 2mb+ but somebody correct me if ok wrong. It is used to transfer information like contacts,apps,web pages,YouTube links
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
Android Beam doesn't send photos via NFC in ICS. That was a feature added in JB. Once we get the Jelly Bean update on our phones, it should work. I think it should work if your phone is running CM10.
Thanks guys.

If the item keeps shrinking and does not send, it is usually because the NFC antennas are not lined up correctly. I assume the GS3's NFC is at exactly the middle and ours is about 1/3 down from the top, so remember to pull the Evo LTE down a bit. Android beam seems to send anything Google apps related well, but nothing else (it will just send the receiver to the play store page). The only things that send reliably for me are contacts. Pictures never seem to send well. It just makes the connection sound but doesn't give me an option to send anything.

Sent from my EVO using xda premium
As far as I know, Android Beam is not capable of transferring large files. It only utilizes the NFC capabilities of the phone, so it is limited to small files, such as webpage links, app links, playlists, etc. The app on the GS3 utilizes the Wi-Fi in conjunction with the NFC to allow for the transfer of large files.
Down load bump from market . Works great . I'm sending things to my girls LG viper running ics as of 2 data ago
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
basicly what the gs3 does is when u use the NFC to send picture it actually links the phone via WiFi direct and send the file that way.

Hey guys!
So I love my Nexus 10... but I don't know what to do with it!
I watch videos and read pdfs on it, but these two don't really take up much time.
I wanna use my Nexus for more things but I don't know what!
What do you guys do on your Nexus 10?
First world problems... why did you buy your Nexus 10 anyway?
Start shifting your PC tasks over to it. Web browsing for one. This forum, for that matter. A Bluetooth keyboard and mouse and you'll be surprised at how much productivity you can get out of it.

I use it for almost anything, as I got rid of my laptop so all I have now is my N10 and my cellphones. Movies, music, shopping, messaging, reading up on stuff,and prett heavy on emails and evernote my work needs, skyping. So yeah pretty much everthing I would do on my laptop.

But then you have to change your number to a GV number, and doing that would be problematic for me. Am I right in thinking this?
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
Change what number? Your tablet isn't a phone. It links to your GMail account, and you can create a new phone number that can ring your devices on making a new account. If you mean texting people with your actual phone number then yea that might be an issue, as it shows on their phone as your GV number.
Wouldn't it use a new phone number for the texts?

If the chromecast device works you'll have a smart tv for $35 assuming you live in the US. I don't think it is available outside of the us at the moment. The device is pretty small, around the size of a large USB thumb drive judging from the pictures and plugs into hdmi.

Awesome I do love in the us though I'm currently out of the country but I'll be back in 1 month. I'll have to look up this chrome cast. So you just plug it in your TV and it uses the TV as a monitor and sort of makes it a smart TV? Well if I understood right that's sweet especially for only 35 dollars.

They have added Miracast but the performance isn't great on my PTV3000. However, my PTV3000 is pretty terrible so it could easily be of no fault of the Nexus 10.

Chromecast does not support Miracast.
And given that it's only in the 2.4ghz range only, that's probably a good thing. In most of my use cases, you probably wouldn't want to use it without 5ghz.
It's designed a little differently though - instead of going from the internet, through the device, to your monitor/TV, Chromecast takes the content directly from the internet using your phone more like a remote. The quality of the stream should be much better.
But of course you lose the ability to mirror the screen of your device on your monitor/TV.
I prefer the better quality stream for most wireless streaming and will use my HDMI cable when I need a mirror as the performance was better with that anyway.
