So I was in an AT&T store today checking out their lineup and talking with one of the reps and we got onto talking about the sending videos etc to other people feature, so he fired up a video on his SIII and we did the phone touch thing, the phones beeped, he tapped on his screen to send me the video, and then mine went out to the play store trying to find something and saying it couldn't, but we couldn't tell what it was looking for. Any ideas? I am stock, rooted Verizon Note II, I have several apps frozen, but none that I thought would effect that.
Thanks.
Weird. S beam on?

Did you both have S-Beam on? it will recognize it with just NFC turned on and send you to the play store, but with S-beam on it will connect the phones then you separate them and it downloads
I know my phone had S-Beam and NFC on, not sure about his phone. Unfortunately I don't have anyone around to test scenarios out with at the moment.
I believe on stock S3 you have to have NFC, S-Beam, and Wi-Fi direct turned on. Make sure of all those are enabled and try again when you can. Also, what app was he viewing the video from?

It looked like he was using the stock videoplayer on theS3. thanks for your help all, I'll play again when I have a chance.
no S-beam / VZW Note 2 x2
weird problem...
two GN2 (stock+rooted)
S-beam turned on
NFC turned on
I put the back of the phones together and nothing happens
attempting to xfer pics from Gallery app
Do I need to activate Wi-Fi Direct? Be on same wi-fi network? I think I'm missing something but looking here, google, youtube...
any suggs?
thanks!

You do actually have to bump them together. If you gently put them into proximity nothing will happen

Been trying this for two weeks with my girlfriends S3 and nothing at all. Did the jelly bean ota on her S3 and thought that would do it, but still nothing. Watched a bunch of video and none really show them being bumped together. But it's worth a try.
I am having the same issue also with this. My phone is stock rooted. I was trying on my gf note 2 and was having the same issue where it would bring me up to the play store but find nothing and just kept saying retry. So I went into titanium backup and started to unfreeze one app at a time that I had frozen. When I got down to an app called DirectShareManger 2.0.3 and unfroze that the Sbeam started to work but one it said connecting it just kept spinning and then said connection failed. So I reset the phone and tried again and it went through successfully. So that was my problem and how I got it to work. I have read somewhere that both phones need to have the gallery open for it to work :highfive:. Hopefully this solves the issue that everyone else is having.
I was having this same problem. It turns out that our nfc stuff is in the top of our phone. My friend has a Galaxy express and I have to tap the top of my phone to the middle of his (back to back ).

First, I have searched both here and Google regarding my question but all I’ve turned up are problems with WiFi connections (which I don’t have – my connection is always solid) and reported problems about 8 months ago with payments in general (my problems are with WiFi only).
My problem is that any time I try to purchase an app on Android Market (and now Google Play) using WiFi, the app hangs at the point where it’s trying to authorize payment. It just sits there no matter how long I wait (well… at least 10 minutes or so). If I switch over to the home screen, turn off WiFi so 4G comes back up and then switch back to Android Market/Google Play, payment goes through properly. Once the download starts I can switch back to WiFi and the app will download without issue. This happened several times when I was straight stock using Android Market, at least once when I switched to NRG’s ROM using Android market, and again this morning with Google Play; it isn’t just the new Google Play app.
I wanted to ask whether anyone else has experienced this and whether you found any reason for it or a solution to it. This isn’t the end of the world but it would be nice to have it working correctly so I don’t have to mess around with the connection while trying to download a large app.
Thanks!

I was having issues last night buying app from google play, was getting error 403. then this morning I bought another and it went through and I was like wtf!
I refunded the three apps that didn't go through then re bought them and they downloaded perfectly.. lol
not sure if that is the issue you're having but take a look at this thread:http://www.google.com/support/forum...ad?fid=4627bf187632930e0004babe8be00aa0&hl=en

Thanks for the link, but unfortunately my issue is different. I never got an error of any kind, it just sat there trying to authorize payment until I switched from WiFi back to 4G, then it went through without issue. Afterword, I could download the app on WiFi just fine.
Thanks again.
My payments for apps only work over 4g
well I can confirm it isn't using wifi, it COULD be your router or firewall, or some other settings. I can confirm it because I don't have a data plan, I use wifi for everything and I have bought apps through it.

Hummm, guess that's just the way it works. Thanks for the feedback.
So since I've been using tablets since the xoom came out I always wanted to be able to send texts through my tablet but have them send with my phone's number. At first there was syncSMS, which was pretty good but required drop box to sync up messages. Then I started using Text tab which would pair the devices with BT. The app was ok, the interface wasnt that great but it did the job. I just bought Tablet Talk from the market and I have to say I LOVE this app, not only does it give you the option to connect via BT or Wifi(must be on same wifi network) but the interface is much better than text tab. Plus you can control your mobile phone. Meaning, if you want to call someone it has a dialer and when you dial from your tab it will place the call on your handset, you can even activate speakerphone on your mobile phone. Granted you need to have your phone close for the calling stuff and I am wondering if you connect the two via BT if you can actually use your tab to talk(I havent tested on BT yet) but I think it's still pretty neat. And when you get a call it displays the caller id number on your tab so no more having to pull the phone out of your pocket to see who's calling.
I have been using it over wifi since last night and havent even seen it eat much battery at all and I left it running all night. Anyway, I would HIGHLY recommend this app... It's the best Tab/Phone SMS app I've seen so far
ok so no audio routing when connected via BT, but it's still a pretty cool feature
When I get a call it shows me who is calling on my tab, and also rings on the tab. You can answer the call from the tab but it activates the handset, but as I said in the OP from the tab you can also activate the speakerphone on your phone

it routes the audio as well?

Is there a way for it to recognize the hotspot app on your phone as the wifi network? I have the hotspot on my phone enabled..but it still ask me to connect to a wifi network.
Have you tried the Sidecar app? It is available in the Play market.

hmm not sure.. I havent tried.. but why not just connect via bluetooth?
I haven't tested it extensively, but it definitely looks like a good app. I will be testing it more once I start making progress on installing the tablet in the car.
I bought it the other day and wished I did the trial first. It does work well, but my phone seems to disconnect often from Bluetooth. So then I have to manually turn the screen on and reconnect.
Guess I need to fool with the settings on my phone some more. It's very useful, except for this little quirk I'm having.

hmm that's odd. Email the dev, I emailed him a couple of questions and he replied pretty quickly. The first time within hours of my email, the 2nd one a day or two after.
It seems to be an ics issue on the Evo 3D leaks. All of them have this issue for me. That's why I think I need to play around in my wifi settings a bit. Thanks for the suggestion though

I can connect to networks but I don't actually have internet access(I have tried on multiple networks, both secured and unsecured).
Any ideas?

I have had the same issue and it resolved after rebooting. But it came back once I let the phone idle for sometime. I have to restart the wifi for it to start working again!! I don't know much about this.. but its similar to the smartsync problem with One X.. except that the wifi disconnects every time the phone idles for a few minutes! Anyone else had this problem?

I had the same problem. Fixed it by turning off wifi, unchecking the "Use DLNA if DHCP is not available" setting, then turning wifi back on.
Faulty device
I tried all of those combinations but neither worked. Took the cell to a VZW store and they replaced it. Everything is good with this one, so the old was just faulty. Are you guys using any screen protectors or cases?

When this happens, go to advanced Wifi settings and check your IP. Most likely you have a 169. address and no useful default gateway. This generally happens when DLNA IP option is enabled and your DHCP server isn't fast enough for the [bad] rom settings provided by HTC. If that's the case, the just disable that option and cycle Wifi.
im having a problem as well just got my dna yesterday and it seems when its asleep for a bit i awake it and then disconnects flashes to 4g connected back to my network but i have no activity at that moment then i have turn wifi off and on to get it back
i know its not my network no other problems with over 5 other devices and never had a problem with any phone for years
My girlfriend has this issue with her DNA. They replaced it with a brand new one, same issue. We have a wireless router that has 3 laptops, another phone, two tablets plus my friends phones and tablets when they come over, no issues for anyone. But the two DNA's we have tried, do.
Connects, and then it says it is connected but stops working after a short time. Shows that it is connected but anything that requires internet sits there spinning. Disable Wifi and it kicks over to 4G and emails and stuff starts flooding in. Go into Wifi settings and turn it back on, and it seems like it keeps turning itself on and off, like it is stuck in a loop.
Both DNA's, same exact issue. BOth stock, non-root, both have had hard resets, nothing seems to fix it. Some searching on Google says that the issue, while not common, it's all that un-common either. Seems to be an issue with the phone itself.

I had the exact same problem when stock. I have not had that issue since I flashed my first custom rom. Clearly it is an issue with the stock rom.

it really isn't a big deal. If you have to return it for any reason bricking it or reverting it to stock isn't a problem and in all the years I've been working with Android, out of tens of thousands of users that I've had exposure to, I've never once have i heard of a carrier denying warranty work because of a phone being modified. they're generally just not smart enough to even know how to check if they even care to check. The only thing that I've heard about is people walking into store and telling them that the phone has been modified. In that case they will use it against you. Anyway you're better off with a third party ROM and a better kernel for this phone.
Used FXR from the market and fixed my wifi issues.

Went back to vzw, they said that HTC knows of the problem, it is software related but no eta on the fix. Not wishing for another thunderbolt debacle, she exchanged it for a RAZR HD.

I tried it exactly how you said to, disabled the DLNA option, turned off then on my Wi-Fi, and boom, started working again. I thought my phone could have been faulty, but I bet anyone who tries this will see their issue fixed.

I'm having the same problem but the DLNA option was already turned off by default. Wifi works right after a restart and then stops working a short time later. Once it stops working, I get a blank screen when I try to view the available wireless networks, even though this screen was populated with multiple networks previously. Frequently, I get a "Process com.android.settings isn't responding" message. I had these exact issues with my first DNA and Verizon sent me a replacement. Same issues with the replacement. Anyone else experiencing this?
I remember a thread awile back about nfc turning off on its own...now that I been usung it I notice it also, seems now when I least expect it ill go to scan a tag and it wont work them im like oh wtf its probably turned itself off and sure enuff it has....anyway anyone else experiencing this??
I'm also experiencing this. I'm on beans v6.
I'll be using the NFC Task Launcher app, and it will randomly say "NFC is disabled. Enable NFC to use this app."

I take it this only happens to like 3 different people wth wrong with my sheet lol it drives me nuts dont even really care for nfc and when I wanna use it I gotta do like 9 steps to get it to work grrr lol
There are all-out of people having the issue. I have no idea the cause. I can say my wife does not have this issue.
Neither of us are rooted.
She does not play with the NFC tags we received, and I do. We do not use WiFi. And we have completely different apps on the phone.
I own a Wireless Media Hub and this has gone on prior to me getting that. I do not use the Hotspot.
When sharing files via Wifi Direct, I always create the connection.
So from my personal experience, it is either a specific app triggering it. Or. It is me using the Tags and after so much non-use it disables itself on its own.

Hi all,
This is the first time I have ever heard of something like this happening, ever.
My mom has a Samsung Galaxy S II on Rogers (Canada). I came to this board because the phone looks the same as this AT&T one.
Anyway my mom told me the other day that she had plugged her phone in to go to bed like she normally does and the screen flashed on as usual then went off as usual. But then as she was walking away the screen came on again. She thought that was weird so she went back to her phone to see what it was doing.
She said she saw an app open up then close out, then the dialer opened up and numbers started going into it all by itself along with a # and * signs. The numbers didn't make sense to her.
She panicked and shut the phone off.
At the time, she would have been connected to their home wifi network as well as rogers 3g network. I was like wow that sounds crazy. It sounded like a Trojan Horse virus that you could get on your PC.
She called Rogers the same night and they didn't see anything weird in her data history but she was of course connected to wifi. They told her to change the wifi password for her network and that's about it.
I checked out all the apps on the phone and I didn't see anything suspicious but that doesn't necessarily mean anything.
If her phone wasn't hacked and someone was remotely manipulating it, what else could it be? If that is the case, what should I look for on the phone to try to get rid of it. Is there such a thing as a virus scanner for android OS?
Thanks
I would factory data reset the phone and format the internal and external SD card. Then set phone up with a new Gmail account if it was me. Some apps on the plays store look legitimate but could have permission to do weird things while the phone is not in use. Hope you can help your Mom.

Thanks for the advice. The odd thing is that I just did this to her phone like 4 weeks ago because she inexplicably had TONNES of data charges on her phone, and he has a 6GB/month plan. That seemed to have solved that...I'm pretty sure someone was manipulating her phone at that point too because there was no way she was using that much data on her own.
She must have something going on. Something she's installed must be giving someone access or something, I don't know what's up but I will backup all her SMS and notepad messages, and make sure her contacts are synced with Google then factory reset her phone, again.
Thanks.
