Hello, I'm having an issue regarding NFC beam. I tried to use this feature for the first time yesterday. I tried to transfer a few different items between my EVO 4G LTE ( stock w Jellybean) and a Samsung Galaxy S III. they seem to connect and my phone shows the progress of the file transfer go to 100% but then says "beam did not complete". The galaxy S can receive and save files fine from my phone. Is there anything i can do to fix this? or s this a known issue?
Any help appreciated, thx,
I believe Samsung uses S Beam to send media, which the Evo does not have. I think the Evo uses Android beam to send contacts, web links, youtube links etc. Thats about all you can send.
Brand new feature! But not much functionality with this phone...
It works well with wallet, NFC tags, and YouTube links. But I'd like to be able to use it for pictures, videos, and apps, etc...

That sucks. Kind of a waste then if you cant transfer sounds/pics/ or small files. Thanks for the info though.

You can do all that, but only between 2 HTC phones. Like the other post said, Samsung can't send it to you but you can send to them.

How? I've tried between two Evo LTEs and I couldn't do it. Had to link them with bluetooth and use a file explorer...

Is S-beam compatible with other 4.0 phones or is android beam on the s3 aswel because it seems like a missed opportunity to limit s-beam to just the s3

I was pretty surprised to learn that Google didn't do it with the Galaxy Nexus back then, i always thought that establishing a Bluetooth or WiFi link through NFC was a "Well duh"-opportunity for transferring large files.
But no, S-Beam (i.e. using NFC to establish a WiFi-direct link and transfer large files) will only work on devices supporting S-Beam.
But it's probably relatively easy to add to AOSP or maybe even as an app.
So there's the standard sharing of small data packets with NFC (Android Beam), and then using it to set up WiFi-Direct and transferring lots of data (S-Beam).
Am I correct in thinking that the S-Beam app has retained this normal NFC functionality, while adding to it. For example, I can share a contact with any NFC phone, but in order to share a video I will need two phones with S-Beam?
I am sure that Android Beam will support setting up WiFi-Direct soon. At that point S-Beam is coming straight off my phone!

I'm actually curious to see which "beam" does what. My GS2 now has NFC and I was testing it the other day with my buddies GNex.. I started by sending a web page but then we tried YouTube videos.. it transferred ..and fast as hell too. Pretty neat stuff. It'll be neat to see what S beam has over android beam

You lost me. It didn't send a link, it sent the video. There was no need to click on a link after the video was sent. The video played automatically. You can slice it however you want, but it still sends the video. I touched to beam and it beamed.. video played on the other device, and yes, the actual video itself, not a link.
Sorry but I don't know what you mean by it didn't send the video. The video went from my phone to his. If that's not transferring a video from one device to the next then what is?

I think that's because Android Beam automatically handles certain bits of information in certain ways. If you send a YouTube link then the receiving phone recognises that it's a YouTube link, opens up the YouTube app and plays it. You are right when you say you don't have to click a link. It's done for you automatically.
Take for example the sharing of a location. It doesn't pop up with an address in a box, instead it recognises that it's an address and opens the Maps app automatically.
If you want to test whether it's truly sending the video then copy a file (.avi or something similar) to your sdcard and try to send that between phones. So long as it's not affiliated with YouTube I think you will find it wont work!

I guess I'm thinking about it in simple terms.. I pulled up a video, tapped beam, and video showed up on the other phone.. if sending the video works this way, what would be the benefit of trying to do the other way? (Also isn't it much easier to use beam, then to copy files and such to your SD card to send?) Why would you go through the trouble of doing that?..to show that its not actually sending the video? I just don't see the point. Especially if it works as is

Not every video in existence is on Youtube, maybe you want to share a video you recorded but don't want to share it with the rest of the world, S-Beam makes that possible.

Umm.. Have a little respect.
used my S3 to send this.
Android Beam, like previously stated just sends "links" and very small pieces of data like contacts. Android Beam (NFC) has a low transfer rate, therefore sending a video or a large picture - I cannot 'beam' a picture i've taken from my gnex to a GSII, I get the error that the file is too large. That being said, android beam does just send a direct link to the YouTube video you are sharing and the receiving device opens the YouTube video directly. S-beam in contrast uses wi-fi direct to send large files. S-beam, when being used between two GSII devices, will use NFC to open a connection to the receiving GSIII, negotiate to use wifi direct if it is a large file, then open a wifi direct connection between the two devices to send the data. using wifi direct the GSIII is able to transfer large files at very fast transfer rates, up to 300MBs i believe.
NFC , android beam, is only capable of sending small amounts of data, like stated above. Hopefully, and I havent searched yet so it may be in the works now, Android Beam will incorporate the same functionality of S-beam and open a wifi direct connection between any two devices that support NFC and wifi direct. Personally, I dont understand why this isnt already implemented with Android Beam, but i'm sure this will be possible very soon. S-Beam, to me, seems pointless unless you know a whole lot of people who have GSIII's. I'm sure most phones coming out will have NFC support, so being able to transfer videos. pics, etc via NFC and WiFi direct will be a very appealing feature.
I bought the GSIII for my girlfriend this week, being that i only know a few people who have Galaxy Nexus' i have only used the Android Beam feature a few times and this was just to see how it worked. I was very disappointed when I found that I couldnt transfer pics to my girlfriends GSIII with my nexus.... HUGE let down.
I know most aren't as wild about this app as I am but I was wondering if anyone knows where I can find this app to work with ICS. I've tried Geo-Tagging as well as the Footprints app in the Market but it's not the same as the one that came stock with most HTC phones up until the LTE. If anyone can point me in the right direction that would be great. I can't believe HTC omitted this app. I even contacted them and they pointed me to the app in the Market that, to be frank, sucks! Any help would be greatly appreciated.
They also left out the HTC Notes app that's on the international One X. Not happy about that either.
The Notes app and Flashlight app are located in HTC Hub. However, I'm stuck without my Footprints. Oh well, time to whip something up. LoL
HTC Notes, Where is it located in the HTC Hub? I've looked all thru it.

Supernote works great. It is from the Transformer Prime, but it works on our phone too.
Someone posted it in this section recently I do believe. Search for it and check it out...
Update: I couldn't find the Footprints App but I've found something even better. It's called SpotMarker Pro in the market. I am working closely with the Dev of this app to get it set up to how Footprints was set up. I actually like it better than Footprints and now I don't have to root to get this app.
Thanks, I'm quite a fan of Footprints as well. Good to see another option.
Sent via Tapatalk on my EVO LTE
No problem. It's a great alternative for those that don't wanna root and still have the ability to document the places you've been. The good thing about Spotmarker is you can export your files as a kmz file and that's the same extension that Footprints uses so if you decide to root and tackle Footprints, you won't miss a beat.
Foursquare isn't the likely alternative?
I love it.
Sent from my EVO LTE
I wanted something like Footprints that doesn't rely on logging in on a website. I believe, and I could be wrong, but Foursquare is a web based program that requires you to be online for it to work properly and requires one to sign in. I'd rather not do that so that's why I said Spotmarker was excellent because it works just as well as Footprints, if not better.
Probably better, Footprints never made transporting the data a possibility so sadly you still lose it with every new HTC that had Footprints. So Spotmarker would be better in that respect I guess.
Me:
I turned to Foursquare to retain the data on the phones & PC with the ability to share.

Hey guys any one else have a nfc problem when trying to share an image? I tried to nfc with the s3 and when the s3 sent an image over...I get the new tag collected notification and a text/directshare gallery path and nothing happens... i cant click anything and idk how to access the image on the htc .. ne one know a fix to it?
Same prob here. Even between mine and the one x
Same Problem
Also i have same problem
anyone send to HTC support center ???
I think you can't do this until Jelly Bean. NFC is only for like links and stuff at the moment.
From the FAQ:
Racer Of All said:
Q: I can't send pictures using Android Beam, I touch both phones together and it makes the 'link' sound and vibrates but then nothing happens, is something wrong?
A: NFC is not intended for large amounts of data to transfer through it. It would take too long (about 30 seconds for one picture). It's only meant for text transfer which in turn can prompt the phone to do other things such as sharing contact cards, webpage links, market apps and such.

Please read all stickies and search before posting.
However, as mentioned above, Jellybean will probably support this feature -- but only with other Jellybean devices. I tried using my Nexus 7 to beam a picture to my EVO 4G LTE and it did not work.
I've had the OG evo, 3d and now lte.
How do I send videos through text messages? It's a short video, under 20 seconds. I trimmed it to be short(video of my 3 month old laughing). I watch my father in-law with his iPhone, take a video and then text it. Just like our phone can compresses pictures, the iPhone compresses his videos.
My video is 9mb now, if can compress and send via sms.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance.

New to the EVO LTE
I hate to dig up and old post, but people were less than friendly in the E4GT forum at times and I wanted to provide people with the idea that I do research a little before I post:
I need to get videos from a friend who has the same device as me, EVO LTE no rooted, from phone to phone. We only see each other during Jiu Jitsu and these are videos of my last tournament so I would like to have them.
We have tried:
Bluetooth (My device wasn't found, I have been on MeanROM he is stock)
Email (Videos are too big)
MMS (same issue as email)
Facebook (he could post them to his wall, but then I would have to get them off of there)
NFC (I am no dummy, but I couldn't figure out how to work it, plus the file is most likely too large)
Any help would be appreciated or other troubleshooting would help also. I am really just looking to brainstorm if there is no direct answer.
Maybe upload to Dropbox, SkyDrive, SugarSync or some other type of cloud type service or maybe one of the free web based servers like Mediafire, Hotfile, Rapidshare, etc... Just a matter of how large the files are.

Yea that was my last option, he is so unsavy technically. But I have an account I thought if I just logged in from his phone then upload the particular videos, I was just concerned about auto-loading some of his other files.

Only short videos that are taken from the MMS setting will send either way, so pretty much these listed above are the only options....
After messing around with it for a couple of days I have concluded that if you don't have a Samsung phone this watch is not worth the grab.
Maybe after a while there will be enough tutorials to have many things working but for regular people this watch definitely is not meant for standalone.

He does not have a Samsung phone. That's like buying an iphone expecting it to run all android right out the box. Without jailbreak it will not work. Most people that have this watch have samsung phones/tablets so the non-Samsung people do not get the privilege of what the watch has to offer.
As a standalone this watch is great. I have an iPhone and was able to connect it to the watch. I got my phone calls from my iPhone to route through the watch (receive and outgoing). So then I hooked it up to my note 3, got everything up and running on the watched, turned my note 3 off and now everything works on the watch (all apps except weather) in standalone mode with its own number.

Well when you get tired of the other phone maybe you will reactivate the samsung phone that you have I suppose. so if you use bluetooth and wifi you will be fine until you leave the wifi area. If it restores the watch why not let it restore it will give you the features you are missing so you can connect to your "other phone" when you connect your other phone after setting everything up with with the samsung phone via wifi/bluetooth do the pairing trick so it will not reset the gear it will just connect to your non samsung phone but still have everything in there

No. Not from my iPhone number. But if I'm not mistaken you can setup the email through your Samsung phone when you set up the watch and it should just sync over the watch data when not connected with the Samsung phone. I'm not 100% on that though.

In order to do that, you need keep your Samsung phone up and running. The emails arrive at the Samsung phone first, then send over to the watch as notifications. Basically, instead of making Samsung cloud a mothership to all things sync, Samsung made a Samsung Phone the mothership. Without it, your watch's capability is extremely limited.
I can forward my calls to the watch from my Windows Phone, but I can't figure out a way to forward SMS. That's still one more thing missing.
So, yes, I agree with OP that this phone is meant for standalone. Right now, in order for the watch to work, I need two Smartphones to support it, one half dead Samsung phone serve as notification sender. One as my normal smartphone for daily use (like when I need to do the payment, check internet, perform search). And the watch for convenience. Its S-voice capability is very limited and Opera browser is not very useful.
I know everyone wants this watch to be a stand alone phone but it was made to be a companion device. Samsung likes you keep you in their eco system. I know people have found work arounds but this is also the first 3g watch out like this. Rumor is LG is working on one also.. but it might not be running android ware. I guess Google does not want to take away sales from smartphones so you cant run google ware with cellular capacity. I hope that will change in the future though.

Does your phone carrier allow forwarding sms
I'm on AT&T. I have not found any way to forward SMS yet. Forwarding calls are easy and no need for any Gear Manager's help. I just setup a conditional forwarding on my phone so if I'm not picking up the phone call from the smartphone, it will auto-forwarded to my Gear S instead of Voice mail.
