Hi all.
I am trying to transfer a photo from my wife's galaxy note 3 but everytime the phones connect, my XZU starts play store.
Any thoughts?

Interesting because on stock ROM you can't change anything. Curious are you running a custom ROM or is it stock? I just tried with my 6806 and my Note 3 and had no issues beaming to the Ultra.
Just to check, when you have NFC on, Do you also have Android Beam on as well?

You can't use NFC to transfer files. Its used to activate hardware or features. Its opening the playstore because it doesn't know what you want.
You'll need to tell it to activate android beam when tapping NFC
Don't ask me how to do that, as I've ever used beam.
Perhaps 'sony connect' from the playstore??
or
'NFC easy connect' both are by Sony Corp.

Yeah I downloaded NFC connect, this utility seems to be just for connecting to speakers etc, even with this software on the phone it does the same thing.
Weird.
Oh and I am on the stock ROM. Just upgraded to 4.3 so will see if that makes a difference.
Works from my xzu to HTC one hold them back to back android beam starts up and use ez file explorer to beam files

I have two EVO LTE phones and when I bump the backs together they play an audible tone and vibrate so I know they are connecting with NFC but I can not for the life of me figure out how to transfer a file from one phone to the other. Does anyone have experience with this and can explain how to do it? Thanks in advance for any responses.

Can't transfer files only smaller things like vCards, browser links, youtube links. HTC hasn't added the ability to add other things yet. Samsung built on Beam using wifi direct so i would be surprised to see HTC come up with a similar solution or a app to assist the
Beam thru wifi direct connection.

Thank you but I still can't even manage to transfer a v-card. Doesn't bring up a menu or anything when the phones are within range. I'm not sure this will be useful at all then accept for google wallet type of functions.

Make sure both phones have the NFC turned on then pull up the contact or the web page(looks like ICS internet and chrome only work - dolphin wouldnt) then touch the backs of the phones together. It will push the item to the back of the screen and then touch the screen and it will beam it to the other phone. You can do the same with some apps as well and it will push app to the playstore. Cant wait till you can beam photos and files.

There is an app on the market called 'File Expert" that allows you to do it but I think when doing larger files bluetooth is faster. but hey if you wanna play. here is a toy.
I really can't wait to beam photos
I searched through the forums and could not find a topic. How do I transfer files using Nfc ? Like my friend has Samsung galaxy nexus and we bumped the phones with Nfc on. They vibrated yes but is there not interface or any notification?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using XDA
let's say there phone named A and B.
A will send file to B, so A must open the file first.
While the file opened, bring A close to B (back to back) and when there's a vibration, touch the screen on A, then the file will automatically send to B.
Sorry my bad english

I tried this as well with my mates HTC One X and found that contacts would beam but nothing else would. I found by switching from Sbeam to Android beam it started sending images and music files.
NFC works very well. I can transfer videos, pics, contacts, webpages.. in fact it uses wifi direct

NFC and Wi-Fi direct are different protocols, NFC has much smaller range for starters.
Lol anyone want to tell me how to transfer files using Nfc ?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using XDA
make sure both devices have NFC > switch on NFC on both devices > go to gallery > pick and image > touch the back of both devices together > you will hear an audible noise and the screen will pan out > click the image and it "beam" over
thats only for images but the same steps apply.

True, however Samsung's prorietary S-Beam allows devices to automatically enable peer and send the file over Wifi-Direct if it makes sense due to the file's size.
It won't, as already stated, work with non Samsing-devices or with devices without S-Beam, you'll have to use the Stock Android NFC for that.
Did Sony smarttags work on S3?

I installed LiveWare Manager app and Xperia SmartTags widget from Play Store on my SIII and the smarttags works.
i find that samsung's own tectiles app works better, as you can set things to toggle instead of just change settings to a preset value.
however this doesn;t work with the xperia nfc tags at they only have 46bytes
The soft xperia smattags didn't work if installed, but if you ad Liweware manager before and touch a tags, liweware ask to download it and it's awailable in liweware tools (if downloaded before liwearwe or not througt Liweware, it didn't appear in )

surprise sony tags only has 46 bytes ,any clue whats the storage on tec tiles ?
Tectiles are only available in USA and Canada at the moment and the soft isn't available on market.
Smarttags working well on SIII but you must
Intall Liveware manager on your phone and then pass it over a smarttags, Liweware ask to download the software Xperia Smarttags and smarttags work as on Xperia.
If you've downloaded the Xperitags soft before, delete it or it won't work, seems ti shoud be downloaded and only visible and working through Liveware.
Probably working on other NFC phone to.
I didn't see this posted and I tried searching.
I don't see the 'More Services' app that's referenced all the time with the GS3 on my stock AT&T GS3. I'm guessing AT&T excluded it but is there a way to sideload it? Is it worth doing?

I'm having the same issue. I have a US Cellular SCH-R530U S3, and the Samsung App wasn't loaded. I found it off the Samsung site, but it says because of my phone or my country, I have limited functions, basically it only does updates. Going to the Samsung App website, it says you have to install the apps from your phone or use Kies. Only problem there is Kies says my phone isn't supported by Kies v.2. This is really getting annoying. I hope someone can help us out here soon...

When I launch the app on my phone, all it says is No Updates. I do have my Samsung account on the phone but the app never asked me to sign in. I agreed to everything, and I just get the No Updates. The only options I have under the Settings are Update Notifications and Push Notifications.

Which App did you install? I went to Samsungapps.com and downloaded the apk from there. In settings I have option for Push Notifications and Samsung Account. That's it.
It's basically a Samsung app store which is lame but it has Samsung apps under "More Services" category which is nice. Nothing too amazing in there except Photo Editor and Video Editor (both of which are in the Play Store already).
I downloaded it from the Samsung site as well. I was rooted when I installed it, so I used OTA Rootkeeper to undo root and reinstall seeing if that would make a difference, but it didn't help. I'm after the Polaris Office app, which I can't seem to find in the Android Market at all. Haven't tried the Amazon market yet though. Just getting to me now that it won't work for whatever reason. Already not happy they blocked the Remote Control feature here in the US, not this?!?!

Yup installed fine. Looks like a nice app and not bad for free I guess.
Wow - sorry you're having trouble but thanks for the tip. This is an awesome app. It has Dropbox integration that works well and it's so far opened a bunch of PPT/Docs that many apps have trouble with.

Says you can edit Excel files, which would be great to finally do on my phone. I'm sure there's others that I'll want, but don't want to get even more mad that I can't get apps that I want. This one is bad enough. I found a thread on a different forum where people were able to load it off the site by going to it on the phone, but when I click the download, all that get's downloaded is a file called downloadfile.bin that doesn't do ANYTHING.

Goggle search bar can be removed by disabling it in Settings/Apps
Also - I use Nova Launcher and now just have a Google Search icon in the dock. Saves room.
I use wallpaper from http://interfacelift.com/wallpaper/downloads/date/widescreen/2560x1600/
I set them with an app called Simple Image Wallpaper from the Play Store.
My cover gets warm as well - but not that big of a deal.Definitely good to not have it on something smothering the back.
I can only see the option to Disable it, how to remove from screen?
Wat about BEAM fearure?

Don't quote me on this, but I don't think you can remove Google Search bar from the homescreen without a custom ROM.
Sbeam only works on Samsung devices that have NFC and the sbeam app. You cannot sbeam to a nexus device since that is not a stock android feature.
Please read up more on the differences between android beam and Sbeam..
Disabling and rebooting will remove it. I did it.
On the note 2, go into settings and disable s-beam but leave NFC on. Voila. Worked for me between note 2 and one xl

But when m doing NFC (switching OFF S-Beam) my Bluetooth turned ON on both Note 2 and Nexus 10 !!!
Let me try again today..
EDIT: read this..found in XDA from other users
Android Beam is one of the standard features of Android platform and implemented within Android Application Framework.
On the other hand, S-Beam is Samsung's proprietary and that works only between two Galaxy S3s.
When you try to send pictures from the Galaxy S3 to the Nexus 10, Galaxy S3 sends a handover request message for
establishing a Wi-Fi Direct link to the Nexus 10, as in S-Beam manner. However the Nexus 10 doesn't support S-Beam
and that attempt fails.
When you try to send pictures from the Nexus 10 to the Galaxy S3, Nexus 10 sends a handover request message for
establishing a Bluetooth link to the Galaxy S3, as in Android Beam manner. Because Android Beam is a standard
feature of Jelly Bean, Galaxy S3 accepts the request and return a handover select message to the Nexus 10. Then a
Bluetooth OPP link is established between those two devices and the pictures are transferred.
For me, Chrome is the biggest problem. It hangs every time and most of the time Nexus 10 reboots. The UI is not as smooth as Nexus 4. Actually not even close to it. Battery isn't so good either.
Although I'm a hardcore Android fan but I admit that apple products never hang. My wife has iPad 2. Since 1 year it's up and working. Never got hung.
