hi, z2 seems to have problem sending file via taping using nfc. anyway to configure it like any nexus device?
I think sony NFC is only used for small things aka website urls, parimg devices etc
The hardware isnt designed to send bigger files such as music and images
I dont think you can use it like you want, or even do anything to do such

Thanks both. Android uses nfc to pair and Bluetooth to send file, why did Sony remove this built in feature?

NFC is in almost all xperia devices
S-Beam is not
(not sure of the official name)
But alot of android devices have S-Beam which alows users to send files via NFC

Hey guys!
I got an iPad 2 because of someone's success, so it's kinda emotional - long story short, I can't sell it, so I want to use it in an efficient way.
- the question: is there an app that turns my Galaxy S II into a touchpad/mouse that doesn't require software on the client's side - or is there any app that pairs my phone with my iPad in this way?
Thanks!
/pushing myself into greater heights
You might be able to pair a bluetooth mouse to the ipad and hope it works like a cursor(it works on the sgs2 i believe) but no way is there anything that will allow you to use the touchscreen on the sgs2 as a mouse for the ipad.

Sorry, I had my add post window up before your post showed up for me, so I did not see your added criteria, and you didn't have this criteria in your original post.
Also, through a quick search of the market and google, I couldn't find ANY that don't have to install some kind of server software on the pc you are attempting to control.
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.
hi guys,
i just wanted to ask have anyone tried receiving calls from another phone in your gp5? i was just wondering i have a hp touchpad with webos and when its paired with my old phone it can receive the calls.
I was thinkin maybe if i can do that with my gp5 i can tuck away my old phone and receive calls with my gp5 when paired using bluetooth.
please let me know if anybody have any idea how get this done i know it requires certain service to enable this feature with bluetooth
The 4.0 and 5.0 do NOT support the bluetooth profile (HFP) Needed to be able to answer the calls of a paired bluetooth phone, the 3.6 does and I think the 4.2 might I just can't remember right now.
You could check out the custom ROM's for the 5.0 one of them may have added that functionality, but stock they will not.
4.2 does works like a charm. Just like my tp
Sent from my YP-GI1 using XDA
Well, it is unreal to answer a call? if you have not a dial, isn't it? So, galaxy player 4 and 5 HAVE NOT a dial (a phone app), maybe, in some custom ROMs... And they also have not (HFP) and you could not use them as hands-free...

No, they have a dailer, they lack support of the needed bluetooth profiles, It was one of those weird things samsung did.

any body running custom ics roms here? please feedback i need this badly it really sucks limiting the potential of this device i agree this might just be be something samsung disabled and might just work with custom roms with full functionality

Unlikely to see it in any of the CM9 based ICS releases as bluetooth doesn't even work in most of them.
Right. Calling custom fw users based on gingerbread kindly check if this feature exist on your gp5..thanks

Thanks for trying.

i'm planning to post a request in the development forum, asking the developers to incorporate this feature into one of the rooms
I already asked the 4.0 devs. What we need is a 3.6 dump, so we can get what files we need.
Sent using Tapatalk
a dump? arent official roms available for download? why can't the necessary code be taken from a rom?
both 4.2 and 3.6 have this feature enabled, so it can be imported from any of these devices. I think it should be trivial - because the devices use the same components, adopting features from one into another should be almost as easy as cutting and pasting the code or a library or whatever they have in android.
Hi guys, since my 3.6 isn't rooted I'm not sure I can dump every file, but I can extract the ones which I have read access. You can also download all the source here

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...

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.

I recognize that the description of the app states that it only works with "Newer" android devices, but I have an S4 and it has the feature to recognize faces on the phone but for some reason I do not get the ability to have these new face filters. Is there a way I can make it work? Maybe an apk?
