Has anyone used the Beam (NFC) feature???? - Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion

when the Xperia Ion first came out earlier this year.... i knew that this was the phone i wanted,..... it had all the features i wanted and more, like the NFC but for some reason we cant use it with Google Wallet,.... ok maybe theres a trick to get to to work with our phone.... (let me know if you do know)
how about using the Beam (NFC) to transfer content like pictures, videos, apps, contacts and whatever else to another NFC device just like the Samsung Galaxy S3 commercial.....
ok,... i have tried Beaming pictures with Xperia Ion and Galaxy S3 (AT&T version and Verizon version) with the phones back to back,.... front to front,.... side to side,... whatever position capable..... I've tried it with Xperia Ion being the host and vice versa..... and sometimes theres a notification sound, picture zooms out and a "Touch to Beam" pops up the screen.... so i touch the picture i want to Beam,... picture goes back to full screen but nothing seems to be transferring.... I've tried with the stock Gallery app and another one (quickpic)...
when trying with the Quickpic app,.....it Beamed the other device to the "Quickpic" Play Store (asking it to install the app).... i e-mailed the developer of the Quickpic app,... and he said "sorry, not tested, no device to test..." so ok,.... i kept trying with the stock Gallery app but no successful transfer....
is the Xperia Ion capable of using the Beam (NFC) technology just like the Galaxy S3?????
has anyone successfully transferred Pictures, Video or any files via Beam????
what am i doing wrong????

i haven't had a change to test this with anyone yet. but my buddy has an s3 i'll try it out and get back to you. however, my NFC tags work great and i haven't had a problem with them once.

I beamed to an S3 this past weekend. You have to remember that the regular "beam" feature uses NFC only, without invoking Bluetooth, which means things like pictures and videos are out of the question. Regular Beam features will work with contacts, links and things which can just be a line of text. I selected a contact, held my phone to my friends phone, the contact zoomed out and the screen said "tap to beam". You tap the contact and everyone is happy.

thanks for clarifying that,..... i hope in the future they find a way to utilize it like the Samsung S3 Beam on our device,....

Samsung has done something with their firmware that makes it so you can't beam a picture from/to a non-samsung phone. I've tested this with my friends GS3 and my Xperia devices. Stupid samsung.

Sorry for the late response but that worked fine. I can beam from all my of Xperia devices to each other without issues.

I beamed a few things to and from my son's HTC One X. I was able to do small files but not photos (may be a file size limit?).
It took about 10 minutes to get it to work though. We just about gave up when he turned his phone upside down and magically it worked. Not sure if it should need to work that way but that's the only way we were able to make it work.

So I guess the only problem I cant send or receive any pictures from any Samsung device... Dam! Most my friend use S3 and note 2... And why is Google wallet still not working for Xperia s??

Confirmed this also, Ion to SGS3. Apps transfer, no pictures, no files from file explorer, no music. Somethings would activate Bluetooth but on other device just play store opening saying not found. I did get one picture from SGS3 to ion.

Yeah ... Xperia NFC is great, I try that with S3 and it`s fine

i cant get my XPERIA S to send or receive any photo, music, files from S3 or Note 2 using NFC... only maps, contacts, websites works

hmm we cannot though compare just an app with s3's pop up play its ofcourse different and maybe the most advanced one in it..
so as we like open a game or something the software would be configured to be stopped when such happens....
because i guess the app would not be crashing but just pausing/stopping so its already just configured that way, nothing wrong with the awesome htc one x ...
though why would one watch videos while playing games?
still enjoy as now u atleast have a pop-up play! and u can probably do all external things like texting and watching, etc
Why you need to watch video while playing. Guys this is phone and not a monsters. Don't expect more from our phone , unwanted things.

Is this just a gimmick?
This is something you'll try once, then never use again!
You not going to suddenly watch a video then check you email!!!
Makes no sense!!! Just pause what your watching, do your stuff, then come back to watching the video.

Actually I missed this functionality a lot. I like to use my phone on internet and reading stuff more than on laptop but sometimes I just want to play some video or song for its sound (some eduacation stuff) but I hated that It just stopped and I cannot minimalise the video.
But I would prefer to include pop up function to some player like Bsplayer/MX player..
Hi,
i've a another issue with super Video:
smartgpc said:
It is HTC ONE 's video hardware (or driver) bug caused by some video sizes. IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO FIX IT by us.
However you can ask HTC to fix it.
You can also change the video size to prevent the issue.

well friend the pop-up play app i mentioned is : Super Video, Floating and Popup .
the one giving you prob "super video" is different and i guess comes only in paid version.... its upto you that try Super Video, Floating and Popup free version first see if all videos are working fine or not in pop-up, etc(however you want to check) if it works well then ur wish to go for its pro version or just stay on the free one?!
though i want tell pop-up play is really good i saw seen people using it while texting, so mayb its 50-50 that people like it alot and some don't need it.. so totally upto them but atleast this feature can improve anyone's smartphone points i believe... like just for fun saying that you show it to a friend without pop-up play he gives 8 point, so what's wrong when he gives 9 points with pop-up being installed and enjoying its innovative features ?!
cheers!!

LG SmartShare

Does anyone know if it's possible to get the SmartShare app that comes with LG phones to work with the S3? Just got an LG smart TV and want to use this feature. I did find an APK, but it just force closes after installation with the message 'manufacturer not match'
I'm not sure on the implications of this and I would check but I suppose you could alter thebbuil prop to saybthis is an lg phone and not a Sammy.
Check first as I have no idea of it's problems etc

No it never will and never was! Works with LG's verry well, don't get the OP's point why he wants the SmartShare app if AllShare can do the same...
DLNA is a standard so should work with ALL DLNA capable products!
Only screen mirror and that kind of (non_DLNA) functions will work per brand...
I actually find BubbleUPnP better than AllShare too as you can assign a different video player app - take a look at that if you're not a fan of AllShare.

No Allshare app is only for Samsung devices for now. Samsung wants to include other brands too eventually but for now all Samsung devices can be connected thru it. My LG smart tv is not recognized on it and just like allshare, LG has their own Smartshare. OP can still use DLNA directly on S3 to connect his TV but allshare would only work with Samsung devices
I have actually patched the manufacturer check but it crashes on my Nexus 7... I will share apk here so you can test it on your device.
NOTE: I do not think this is going to work on any device exept LG becouse of some kernel modules that are developed by LG and included only in their phones.
Does not works :crying:

Allshare Cast and Multiview: Must Read!

*Allshare Cast and Multiview: Must Read!People, I have fallen in love once again with this phone. I have had it since early November. I am a huge streamer of movies from my phone. I use the wireless Allshare Wireless Hub. Today I got curious and wondered what would happen if I streamed video from my phone and while watching use the multiview feature to see what would happen. And what happened made me the proudest owner of this smartphone ever. The video stayed in full screen people! On the tv! But still allowed me to go to other apps as if I was just letting it play fullscreen video! I know u can tell I'm excited. But this is absolutely amazing and it does it without a hiccup. I'm actually streaming a movie to my big screen from my Note 2 while I write this post at the same time, all from my Note. Samsung is the ish!*Let me know if this is something u all already knew. Am I late to the party?
Wow. Good to know this works. Are you streaming a movie you downloaded onto the phone or you are streaming a movie from say Netflix?

That's a good question, I was using the native video player, but I just tried Netflix and it also does the same thing for Netflix. One word...Awesome! But it's weird. When I'm watching Netflix in multi view and I go to the other window, Netflix pauses. Annoying. Guess its not optimized for multi view. I'm rooted with stock and I have the Xposed tweak for all apps in multi view.

I don't see how I could be that late. For one thing we just got the multi view update without having to root. I was rooted with Jedi 7.2, I couldn't even get my Allshare cast hub to work then because of the stupid counter. So once the update finally came out I went back to stock using the injected root method, reset my counter with Triangle, and then installed the Xposed tweak. Unless you've had the international version I don't see how I could be that late.
You lucky T-mobile users. The AT&T version disables simultaneous use of multi window and allshare cast. I hope someone can pinpoint the difference. This is a feature I really wanted in my phone

By the way MHL also works like that. I found out yesterday when watching Youtube and using multiwindow that Youtube stayed full screen and I could actually minimize it to just a tiny sliver on the bottom and use the rest of the screen to do whatever else I wanted on multiscreen. I was just as pumped as you were! My girlfriend was over at the time and I described it to her as a "Geekgasm!" lol :victory:
My allshare cast sucked. Dropped frames, had to resync everytime you wanted to connect a new samsung mobile device. Just to sync, it would take 20 tries. Very painful experience. Ill stick to using dlna through my sammy bd player. Works perfect every time.

I am streaming videos, youtube and all online videos from note 2 to my laptop/TV using iMediaShare. Watching streamed videos from phone on TV/laptop screen and simulataneously operating phone as normal including multiview.
I thought the all share dongle only works with stock.. cause mine wouldn't connect unless I was on stock.. and when I went to tv links on line and tried to watch tv the voices would lag... the dongle sucks.. I got the note 2 smart dock.. it has a hdmi slot and usb ports for a cordless mouse.. it's way better...

Hi everyone!
I've been an iphone user and finally made the big switch with the Galaxy Note 2 because of the multi view feature and the screen recording mode feature (which apparently never ended up working).
I have a stock (4.1.2) Unlocked international version n7100 Galaxy Note 2 that I've been using with an allshare cast hub. The video is a little glitchy but for the most part works great. I came to this thread by doing a google search on multiview with allshare cast.
I really want to be able to use multi view while I'm connected to allshare cast hub and streaming videos. This feature doesn't seem to work on my phone. Do I have to have my phone rooted to do this? I've never done a custom rom or rooted my phone before and I'd like to avoid that if at all possible. Do you just hold the back button during a video to bring up multiview like you would when not connected to allshare cast?
Also, has anyone figured out how to watch netflix while using multiview yet without having it pause video? I'd like to get all of my apps working in multiview and from what I've read so far the only way to do that is by rooting phone, correct?
One of my proudest moments with my Note. I feel you man. It's a great feeling what this phone can do.

I am Stock Rooted, only so that I could download and use Xposed for the xMulti Window Mod to use all my apps in the multi window. I have noticed the Netflix bug with the movie pausing when you try to use Multiview. I have found that if you start using multiview before you click on the movie to watch it will no longer pause. What I do is I open netflix and then use multiview to bring in another app on screen and then I play the movie. Works everytime. And it works like it should without pausing. And you are able to change apps as normal. But i would def. recommend getting the Multi Window Mod so that you can experience the Multiview the way it should have been out the box. I don't know why they didn't allow all apps out the gate. The only apps that I have trouble with in multiview is TMZ and Flipboard. Otherwise I am a multiview crackhead.
Hope this helps!

Right now i got groupcast.apk from the Panama release. I am trying to sort out how to get it working, (just the apk itself is dependant on something else) When i run it, it hotboots the phone. Will post my findings for you.
So i installed the apk, crashed phone a few times. Samsung apps updated the file right away though, now it works. Not sure if it's any different then the i9300 version of it.
Whats the version number of the groupplay apk after samsung store updated it?
Can u also pull allshare play and install it prior to installing group play apk?

Android BEAM

Hello this morning i tried to use the android beam, that says if you put 2 pone together back with back you can transfer files etc. just like the sbeam on Samsung . but when I tried it send me to the play store with no succes. any 1 know how to make it work? does it needs any App?:fingers-crossed:
Try this
I haven't used the Beam Feature much but yes I have transferred photos via NFC to Xperia SP from my Xperia ZL
How:
1. I was in my Album app and viewing the photo
2. NFC was turned on for both the devices
3. As soon I touched both devices back to back
4. A sound alert was made along with the vibration indicating devices paired via nfc
5. Touch to Beam option was displayed on my screen along with the photo
6. I pressed on it and the transfer was done automatically and easily
Try the same while listening to a song via walkman app (It worked for me)
Press thanx if I helped you in any way

Check the nfc settings of the Samsung phone. Maybe there were some setting turned off during the time you were trying to share a photo

No I didn't use any program to transfer any file I was easily able to share music and images via NFC that too directly from Sony Album and Walkman application without the need of any other NFC application
Ok its good. i tried with an LG optimus G and my zl and its working fine. il have to try again with the S3 later.
Does this work for any file or it's only for particular types of files. I have a game called 1941 and the save game creates an XML file that can be copied to any device so I can continue my game on the other device. I navigate to the file using Root Explorer but what do I do then, right click on the file >> go to Send but I dont see a beam option.
I can transfer via Bluetooth but i'd like to make use of the this beam feature.
It works for any file, if u can open that file. so u might wanna try opening that xml and then try sending.
