NFC Transfer with note 2 and Nexus 7

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.

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)

Media Hub and The Avengers.

I came from the S3, and as we all know Tmobile gave us The Avengers for free in HD and SD. I logged into my media hub on my Note 2,but for some reason can only download the movie in SD. When I try to download it in HD I get download fail... Anyone else having this problem?

A related question. How much longer will the movie be available for download? This might help me decide if I should just buy the Note II now or if I should wait longer for Walmart.

It will always be free for Galaxy S3 owners. I dont know if its free for Note owners.

Anyone know of a fix to be able to download the HD version? Tmobile and Samsung are no help.

Oops forgot to post a picture of what its doing. It says I have ownership of HD and SD, but when I try and download the HD version its locked and says fail when I click it.

I downloaded tge sd version. The hd seems to be locked.

Mine is locked also, even though it says I have ownership of HD and SD.

It was specifically for S III owners as a promo, so would not have expected it to simply work on the N 2. I offloaded the folder with the avenger HD and just for laughs may put it on the Note in the same position to see it it works. Will post if it does.

But a quick phone call to Samsung would tell you, even though it was a S3 promo it should work on any Samsung product now. I called 3 times and was told that all 3 times.

I downloaded hd version before I rooted worked fine and all now I rooted and it says cannot play video.

Are people able to check if the redeem to own option is still there? I just got my Note II, but I don't see the ability to download the movie for free anymore.

Thanks! Do you know if it mirrors all apps? Ideally I would like to use it to play rented google play movies on my big screen.

I just tried and it's a no go. It's not working at all since I rooted with the multi view add-on. Device dhcp error. Seems like I need the 4.2 update as someone pointed out. I'll try messing around and see if it works.

Android3220,
Question for you. When you reset your allshare cast dongle does it turn blue for quite a while or does it turn back to red pretty quickly. Mine turns back to red pretty quickly. I tried connection from my note 2 within 2 mins after reset like the instructions told me to and it still doesn't work.

Do i need a Tablet PC?

Hello folks
I am proud owner of note 2 and been enjoying it for a while now. It has replaced my laptop to a great extent and i now only use imy laptop for stuff that needs extensive typing.
I have been tempted to by a tablet for long time now but i am not sure if I need one coz of note 2.
What is your guys take on it?
How many of us here have both and use both.
Cheers!!

Why? Why would you possibly need a tablet if you have a phablet. As for extensive typing try using a blue tooth keyboard for it.

[Q] Samsung Galaxy Note Perks - Boingo wireless hotspot - what is this?

As part of the perks for buying the Note, Samsung also give me "12 months of Boingo wireless hotspot".
I did not register but went to Boingo website. I noticed that most of the "trusted" and "certified" hotspot are typical Starbucks, McDonald's, etc. hotspot. Other than airports' hotspot (which I don't use much), what are the benefit for using Boingo?

I have no idea. I actually uninstalled it becauseof the pop up notifications every time I logged into my home Internet.

You can disable the pop-up in the app. I haven't had a chance to try it at an airport yet to see if it gives me free access.

I bought my Note 8 too early since this was not included at the time. Does anybody know how early buyers can get this perk too?

does anyone know if we can use this on other devices, or just our galaxy note 8?

Try to register at Samsung Perks website. Can't remember the site name, but just Google it.

I think it's tied to your account instead of device specific, similar to Dropbox 50gb promo.
