Using NFC may seem easy, but I was having a hell of a time getting my note 2 and my girlfriends DNA to transfer photos. I was using quickpic. This did not work.
Instead, I used the stock gallery and it transferred pictures just fine using bluetooth. I went through a bunch of apps and ended up buying send! Pro | File Transfer(NFC). This app worked well because it seemed to use wifi direct instead of bluetooth. I'm in no way affiliated with the app, but it does work well and wanted you guys to know if you were looking for an app. I also tried bump, didn't send high res pics (although I didn't investigate fully if it could). I also tried blueNFC which didn't work as well as the stock Android beam.
The nicest thing about Send! is that it uses wifi direct. Seems like versions of the one X had wifi direct built in. No idea why verizon or HTC didn't include it (along with a menu button!), but luckily Send! will work until the next software release when they include these features.

The lite version works, just wondering if the full version works.
Full version working for me... I haven't tried streaming live data yet, but the basic functions of the app work.
Full version works for me. I was streaming a brewers broadcast yesterday.
Works for me. I have a hard time getting into spring training games though.
+1 it woks
Looks pretty cool.
If we have mlb subscription and our Evo's get internet with flash, do we need the app?
Can we watch live games without it?

I didn't see the mlb.tv option anywhere. I'm running CM7. For people who have gotten it working, are you using Nookie Froyo? Auto Nooter? I tried editing the build.prop on CM7 to spoof a Tab, but it didn't seem to work.
For the time being, I was able to get the mlb.tv website working pretty well through Opera on CM7. That'll do, if nobody can come up with repeatable steps to get it working through At Bat, but I'd love to be able to do it through the app if possible.
I'm running CM7 and the full version works with pitch by pitch and audio broadcasting. I also have a MLB.TV subscription and can watch vlive video on the Motorola Droid X. Live video didn't work on the NC. I got the video working through Playon though. Video quality is excellent over my wifi! Watching the cards game right now even though it's on ESPN.
Same here, playon works, DROID2 works, everything works fine but no video option. Running CM7 with the tablet mods. Thinking it's either the app detecting it isn't an approved device or something with flash.
Playon with CM7, video is working for me!
It's said to work fine with the verizon galaxy tablet. I think if we can make it think that it's that tablet, it might work. Is that the Build.Prop that controls that? Anyone know the build.prop string for the Verizon Galaxy Tablet?

Yeah, that's what I meant in my post above. I changed the following in the build.prop:
ro.build.fingerprint=google/passion/passion:2.3.3/GRI40/102588:user/release-keys
to
ro.build.fingerprint=samsung/GT-P1000/GT-P1000/GT-P1000:2.2/FROYO/XXJJ3:user/release-keys
But it didn't seem to have any effect. One thing that occurred to me this morning is that perhaps I should try downloading it with that build.prop in place (as opposed to downloading it with the original one, switching the build.prop, and then opening it.) Perhaps the market serves up a different version when you download it using one of the approved devices.
I'd love to hear from someone who has streaming through the At Bat App working on their Nook. Until I hear more info, I'm dubious.
I will give it a shot tonight. I'll trying changing it and then reinstalling it straight from the market. Will try using the apk from my DROID2, it has working video.
Tried both ideas out, no go.
I wonder if there's more of the build.prop that needs to be changed in order to properly spoof it as a Tab. Anyone have any experience in editing build.prop files for other reasons?
There is someone in the Galaxy Tab forums that clamins they got it working on non certified devices. I'll post if I can find out what he did.
Definitely report anything you find, jkabaseball. I've seen you posting in a few other related threads, and appreciate that you're as dedicated to figuring this out as I am.
Works great on Cm7. W/tablet tweaks, latest build...(has been working on last few builds) w/video, the Astros are Horrible Again, and Mark Texeira is still doing what he does best up in NYC...Go Yanks!

I got the CM7 w/ tab tweaks. You saying the video works on it from MLB At-Bat 11?
I've had my S3 for a couple weeks now and my wife is picking one up this evening. I've been looking for a decent (working) application that will do video chat with some of the more known video chat sites (Skype, Oovoo, Gtalk, etc) but so far the three or four i've tried are currently not working.
Has anyone found a working video chat application that will work with our front side camera that is compatible with
So far I've tried:
Skype - call works, can see other users but the app won't activate our camera (lot of posts complaining about this on the skype forums but no official response to date)
Oovoo - application will not even install from the play store (not supported on your device message) - side loading resulted in very sketchy results but the cameras themselves still are not functional
GTalk - I briefly tried this but couldn't get the video to actually connect. Found other posts on other forums with people complaining about the same issue.
I know that the T-mobile flavor comes with Qik's however that doesn't seem to support anything but others using the "Qik" service.
I'm sure these will receive more support as the phone matures but this was one of the points my wife was looking forward to in order to chat w/ her family.
Thanks
Have you tried Tango?
Google Talk works absolutely fine for me with both front and rear camera and special effects etc.
Tried G+ hungout

I'll have to take a look at tango and try gtalk again.
If there is at least one working one that should at least appease the wife long enough for the other ones her family uses to catch up w/ the phone....
Thanks guys
oovoo
I have not been able to try oovoo, however it can be downloaded from the Samsung apps, app that comes installed on the sgs 3, you may find that this works ok
I use Skype with the front and rear cameras absolutely perfect on my s3. Try reinstalling and on the first startup there's a pop up that states its not a supported device but it will attempt to use the cameras if u grant it permission. Click yes and try it.

Yahoo Messenger and Google Talk worked for me. I haven't tried anything else yet.
Op
I have yet to come across a video chat app that doesn't work.
If your having problems I read somewhere that people with this problem reinstalled viber on their phone and everything magically started working.
Don't know if it's true but it might work.

When I open a photo in gallery and touch 2 htc ones back to back my phone gives me the option to touch to beam and my wifes phone says it is accepting the beam however it does not actually do anything and the beam eventually fails. I called HTC and they say that there phones do not have the function to beam photos although the phones clearly do it just fails, I thought this was a feature of jelly bean? Sounds like they're making excuses....I can beam contacts, If i have an app open and she doesn't have it it goes to the play store link, i can beam browser pages, I can beam things like settings pages or places within the user interface but i cant send photos.....I know there are third party apps I can use but i shouldn't have to.
Anyone else having this issue contact HTC (8664498358) and let them know this is not ok. they answer immediately and are very nice and willing to take feedback, almost to the point to sound like the phone was released with unfinished software....sad to say...the last lady I spoke to said they are still taking feedback and working on problems....wow...She should have kept her mouth shut about that....This phone shouldn't have problems...
I beamed a photo to my sister's Note 2 fine but it failed when I tried with my friend's One X. :-\

Oh my, I wonder if we still have any photon 4G users around here... I'll try with some wishful luck :laugh:
Stock ROM, 2.3.5, Sprint, Root Only.
Youtube Version : 5.0.21 = videos play fine directly via the app when connected on 3G/4G but never on WiFi, error : There was a problem while playing. Touch to retry. - this error just started last month. Cache/Data clears did nothing. I have a Nexus 7 Stock Android 4.4.X tablet that also connects & plays youtube videos to the same Wifi network without a problem. Other data-related apps (e.g. gmail, browser) work fine.
Interestingly, I can still view youtube videos on other apps like Reddit News, PVStar+ Pro (both on Wifi + 3g/4g). It's just when directly loading the youtube app, this error appears. I can search and see content but all I get is that Touch to Retry" I tried uninstalling back to the original stock version of youtube that originally came with the photon and it was able to play via WiFi, but I lose my option to view embedded videos on Reddit News app (needed v5.0.21 to do that).
So I'm rooted + have my MSL if needed to edit anything. Has anyone experienced this or found a better apk version that works?
Yep!
Getting the same issue on my end.
Honestly stopped using my phone to do anything like game or watch videos since I got it.
Much rather buy a new phone than bother with all the problems I've gotten using this one.
I know this is offtopic but I just found this post on the atrix forum about a photon user flashing the atrix's 4.4.4 kitkat rom on his phone. The thread is titled "MB855need some help". He states that everything seem to work fine but, the camera, light and distance sensor, and button's light don't work. He was trying to get attention from devs to make it work on this phone but it seems they are already too busy with other projects, so I was thinking if we could get some attention from a dev for this phone we could get an almost-working kitkat rom. You can find the 4.4.4 kitkat rom in the atrix's development forum.

I am temporarily back on my Photon. My use of videos on WiFi has never been an issue. I am using GSM on a formerly Sprint CDMA model. I had the update that prevented full unlock, but I was able to modify everything necessary regardless. So, I don't know if my configuration is standard, but I have my old files on the SD card. I'd be glad to help if I can. I can look at this more tomorrow sometime. I was just wandering by as I was working on my new phone... it's late.
I used the one out of mof 2.3.5 ish rom and it works perf3ct. If I update I get the error again

Bringing this topic again for 2015 as it seems like it's still never been resolved for the photon 4g to install the latest youtube update on google play (it's been like this for such a long time, and the only version that still seems to work with some functionality at least if playing videos via the in-app embedded view feature on the reddit news app, this is youtube v5.0.21) - That same version won't play anything if you launch the youtube app on its own - would love to hear if any Photon 4G CMDA survivors have found any workarounds in getting this to work or if you have another higher/newer youtube apk build version, please let us know what that is - thanks
Everything else on the Moto P4G is still working great... for regular voice/data-mms-text/gmail/.web browsing on firefox app, it's still doing fine.
Also, looks like PVStar+ Pro/Regular have been taken off the Google Play Store... which was really the only viable alternative to youtube + the photon 4g. If you know of any other apps that still work for gingerbread like this, it would be good to just know too.
p.s. emailing youtube developers has yet to ever get a response (e.g. been trying around 1x a month).
This will probably get moved I didnt know where to put it. I am just looking at some info on what wireless apps i could use for my backup camera. Its one of those combo deals with a monitor. I dont need another 7 inch display for this since I already have and Android Radio. I use this camera for the back of my Camper and it would be useful for backing up or monitoring lane changes. I'll pull the part number off the camera this evening. I did find SWD camera app that might work I will try it. But are these camera systems linked specifically to the monitor?
I cannot find any markings on this camera, its sold by Emmako or amtifo. I also ran a wifi analyzer app and it didnt pick up anything.
