Hi all,
I am planning to buy a Galaxy note 2 64gb when ever its released In Australia.
I also currently have a Nexus 7.
My qustion is, will I be able to use the nfc transfer feature (where you can tap the devices together to transfer photos etc) with my n7 and n2, like you can with the note 2 and galaxy s3, or nexus 7 and galaxy nexus.
Thanks in advance
Cheers
Corey

If I have to guess I would say. For what I remember it was the purpose of android beam. Now I may be wrong as until now I only tried and made it work with Samsung devices. I included a screenshot of the NFC option of my NOTE2. I hope it will help

I've got a Note 2 and N7, but I cant seem to get NFC to transfer files.
It seems to be a problem between Samsung S-beam and whatever the N7 uses.
If I try and send a photo from the Note 2, the N7 opens up the Play store and says "item not found"
If I try and share a web page, the browser will open on the other device, but it wont go to the page.

I have both note 2 and nexus 7 and android beam works fine and speed is also not that bad.

I'm having similar issues as well. I have a Galaxy Nexus and my friend recently bought a Note 2, we tried sending each other pictures but either the Beam would fail or like the person a few posts above mine, it would open up in the Play Store with 'item not found' message.

Actually I have galaxy s3 and nexuse device and I tried to use the NFC between the device. It doesn't support each other. But I don't know about the nexuse 7

Note 2 and Nexus 7 transfer successful
I have a Galaxy Note 2 and a Nexus 7. I was able to successfully send images from my phone to my tablet. Since they both have NFC this is possible. The trick here is to turn OFF the S Beam on the phone so that only the NFC is active on the phone (and NFC active on the tablet, of course).
Settings>>More Settings>>NFC (ON) - S Beam (OFF)

Any of you guys thinking of getting both.
Do you think its worth getting the nexus 7 or getting a larger tablet is more useful?

I have the nexus 7 and the note II will land on Monday. I'll let u know.
I think I will move from the nexus 7 to a 10 inch . (might check surface)
I have a galaxy nexus and I could not use it to browse once I had my nexus 7.
It was fine before.
I think they are quite close (Note II and Nexus 7)
Why don't you get the note 10.1 instead if the nexus 7? The nexus 7 is almost same size as the note 2

i'm thinking about buying note 2, it would be really enjoyable for me with s pen features (i'm student)
I'm still thinking about getting the nexus 7 for my son to play with. I have the tf300 and the screen on that is perfect for me but makes my s2 feel tiny. I can't wait for the note 2 on att.

I'm selling my Nexus 7 and Galaxy Nexus to get the Note 2 in Verizon. Figured I would just combine both devices.

Will be picking up a Note II and hanging on to the Note 10.1 since it's faster and more stable than Nexus 7 which I'll probably end up selling.
I'm getting both GN2 and Nook HD+
I am a bit confused. Saw the specs on some of the websites and some indicated that Galaxy nexus has WiFi direct whereas some indicated that it doesn't. Although I found WiFi direct settings in the settings menu, I am unsure how to use it. I mean, after connecting the galaxy Nexus to my laptop through WiFi direct, I can't find an option to share files through it. Please can someone help me out. Am I missing something?

I think this only works phone to phone. Like another phone with WiFi direct.

Hello, I am also very interested to find out how WiFi direct works. I have tried phone to phone connection as insuusvenerati suggested but it did not seem to work.

I forgot to mention that when I tried WiFi direct on my galaxy S2 and Note, it gave me a option to send files through WiFi direct in gallery and it worked flawlessly but on galaxy nexus neither does it gives me an option to send file through WiFi direct nor it is able to receive file from the other end.

So I have been struggling with this for a while but now have a solution. Our Galaxy Nexus has the capability to use it but you need an app to get it going for large files. URLs and small items will work, but pictures, videos and files need more.
WiFi Direct on the Galaxy Note and Galaxy S III uses NFC to establish the connection, but WiFi to send the material. On the Galaxy Nexus, it uses Bluetooth.
There is a WiFi direct app in the app store that you need to install to be able to send large files between the Galaxy Nexus and Galaxy Note or Galaxy S IIIs.
You really have to fiddle around with it to get it to work but once it does, you can send videos and stuff from your Galaxy Nexus to a Galaxy Note or a Galaxy S III. Also, as far as I know, you have to have the app on BOTH devices.

I need to upgrade both my old Android tablet and phone and am seriously considering getting the note 2 rather than 2 separate devices. I'm wondering if anyone who has the Note 2 finds they're using it exclusively rather than in conjunction with a tablet. I was an early Android tablet adopter, getting my tablet before buying an Android smartphone. At first, I'd take my tablet with me and use it at WIFI hotspots. I now find that I just use my tablet at home. The idea of a phablet is intriguing, but I wonder if any of you with a Note 2 find that you still need your tablets. TIA.
I probably would, but I do still use my Nexus 7, and use my phone as a hot spot.

Im using my note 2 for nearly everything now. I have the p1000 and an acer a501 and don't use either much. Except for maybe the odd movie on my acer a501 and ebay.
I love this phablet and very happy with it.
Hope that answers your questions.

One device, can't go wrong.
When Samsung says it's the best of both worlds they weren't lying. I can't wait to get mine for Christmas. I had to be pulled out of the AT&T store because I wanted to play with the phone all day. Definitely can be used as a tablet replacement, but only if you already have a computer.
Sold my SG3 to move on to the Note 2, I love my Note, but still find my self using my Galaxy Tab 10.1 , just not as much. I use the Note when
Im out and about and use the tablet at home. But if I did not already have the tablet I would have no issues just using my Note
I've pretty much stopped using my iPad 3 completely since getting the Note 2. Really is the best of both worlds.
Obviously the Note 2 wouldn't be able to completely push away my Transformer Prime with it's keyboard, ports and additional screen size, but any thoughts of wanting a Nexus 7 disappeared once I had the Note 2 in my hands.
Original iPad only gets used by my wife and kids now, I almost never use it, honestly could live without it now.

The Note II is an AWESOME device and in many ways is faster and smoother than my Asus TF300 (w/ dock). Even so I still prefer to do certain things on my Tablet with it larger screen.
Now if I didn't have a tablet I could get by with my Note II (though I'm looking forward to seeing what the Next Note 10.1 has to offer).
Actually, after falling in love with the screen real estate of the Note 2, I purchased a Nexus 10 and now tether from my Note 2 to my nexus 10
Yes don't use tablets anymore.

I purchased the Note 2 for this exact reason. I wanted a tablet and a new phone and I decided just go with the Note 2. I just ordered it today and it on back order. I will let you know how it works out once it comes in.
Have a ipad1 and ipad3 and a iphone 4s. Dont really touch them at all anymore. I got the note2 because my ipad one is pretty much obsolete and I travel 2 weeks a month for work so its a perfect fit for me.
Loving this phone. I havent picked up my netbook for 4 weeks now because this has everything I need and with the milti-window i can multitask so i can say it has replace my netbook which is my main PC really. It would be great if it could replace my works desktop but no support for X-Kryptor VPN and can not by encrypted to the level my work requires.
What has your Note 2 replaced or have you tried not using you PC and seeing if the Note 2 can actually replace it.
My Note 2 replaced my previous Galaxy S II. I will never try to use it as a PC. I love my desktop and nothing can replace it other than a upgraded desktop only.
In current time we can't say it have replaced computer.
May be in coming time it will replace the PC.
Although today we can do most of tasks over this kind android device but still we have to wait...
The Note 2 replaced my iPhone 3Gs as well as my iPad 2, it does both phone and tablet things better.
Its replace my Samsung Galaxy Nexus, As someone else said it will never replace my desktop computer.
Ive stopped using my laptop as much as i used to. and ive sold my Nexus 7
My galaxy note 2 replaced my HTC One X. Did not regret that decision. This phone is better in all aspects except the screen, but that difference is minimal.

I am absolutely pleased with this move as there is a big difference between the two devices as the speed is incomparable as is the user experience altogether...

I bought some ebooks with the Samsung credit we got with this device. But I really don't want to read on such a large tablet. Can I access these books on another device? I would rather read on my Nexus 7, but I can't figure out a way to get my books there. I couldn't even find a way to access the on Samsung Note 8 tablet. It doesn't seem reasonable to sell books that can only be read on a single device, so I'm hoping someone here can help me figure out how to access content I purchased on another tablet.

Facebook? That's the only reference I can find to "fBook".
Btw, I tried installing Samsung Hub on my less than one year old (rooted) Samsung Note 8 and it installs but crashes on opening. Same result as on my Nexus 7 with build.prop edited to look like it's a Galaxy S4.
It is just insane that Samsung sells ebooks that aren't compatible with their own tablets.
How can I ever trust Samsung enough to purchase anything from them if what they sell isn't even compatible between the same family of devices of the current generation?!?

Are you saying the reason the Samsung hub app crashes on my Note 8 and Nexus 7 is because they are rooted?

It's probably framework dependant just like a lot of the TouchWiz apps. The note 8.0 should have Samsung hub by default though, assuming you haven't debloated it.

I agree the Note 8 *should* have Samsung Hub, since it is a current generation Samsung device in the same family of tablets, but it doesn't. And it is not even listed as compatible on Samsung page:
http://www.samsung.com/us/samsunghub/
Which is why I'm at a loss why anyone would trust Samsung to buy anything from them if their own tablets aren't even compatible?

Are the books as single files? As in can ou browse for them on your device?
Or is it purchased through an application?
I use a combination of google drive + Moon Reader to achieve some thing similar.
All my books are on the google drive and moon reader + syncs my reading position so I can read on
