[Q] NFC on JB - RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello.
Do you have any experience by using NFC on JB? I tried it with my friend with SGS3. On my Razr i just appeared "Touch to beam" and did nothing. My friend tried it last week between SGS3 vs. SGS3 and it worked good. They changed contacts and pictures. Do you know anybody where is the mistake?

I used it several times with my friends Galaxy Nexus. I'm on 4.1 he is on 4.2. We exchanged a play store link and some photos.
Maybe your friends S3 uses another NFC service. I think there is something like SBeam on all the Galaxy devices, but I'm not sure.

Simple, turn on NFC in RAZR i, open a data you want to share (browser, photo, or any data)...
Turn on NFC in Galaxy SIII, pair with RAZR i... Will appear "Touch to bean", now, touch the screen
My English is poor, sorry

I did it, but after touching the screen Razr did nothing. In the case to transfere data from SGS3 to RAZR i - my RAZR did just beep then turned on bluetooth and nothing more.

It doesn t work still. I have tried it today for hours with many settings but nothing

So yesterday I set my new TecTiles from Samsung and with them NFC works well on Razr i. Still I don't know why we can't change any data between SGS3 and Razr i.
Do you have any experience now?

I'm on retail.en.eu 4.1.2. NFC worked on my previous ICS and works now on JB without any problem.

Many thanks for all. Problem must be in me :crying: and my settings evidently. I'll try change some in my phone.

Here too. I think the NFC only works with Motorola-Motorola or Samsung-Samsung. I never see the 2 phones of different producers works correctly.

[Q] Lapdock work with JB?

I'm considering upgrading from the OG Atrix to the Atrix HD but I need to have a working lapdock for work. I use citrix to access my work computer and am worried about the up-scaling issues. (or if the dock will be recognized) I saw that the Atrix HD worked with ICS but there was some conflicting posts about the official JB update. Any information would be great. Thanks.

Just tried it, same thing as the ahd rom... JB doesnt stretch the picture properly. Different in CM10, it just wont turn landscape whatever you do, even if you force it, it will show landscape in portrait mode.
You guys wont believe what I found... its actually an android-wide issue, Google has royally f***ed up all HDMI screen detection and stretching other than 720p and 1080p in JB, I'm not that smart to say if its a configuration or kernel issue though.

Question - there is the Mexican retail stock ROM on the development forum that is 4.1.2, is there a possiblity that it will work properly? Is it worth $25 to find out? I only ask because there is a garage sale page out on Facebook that my wife subscribes to and someone is getting rid of a mint condition unit.
No it doesn't work.
But yes, you can go back to 4.0 and it will work there.
Should we assume moto isn't going to fix the issue?
Maybe in their next phone if it has hdmi out, but even thats a stretch.

i have a lapdock for the ATRIX 4G modded to work with ATRIX 2, after i got the Atrix HD it still works with it... with Stock 4.1 BUT the celphone screen stays ON it doesnt work like with the old ATRIX 2 where i could set it to show screen in the laptdock only saving the phone from overheating... Anyone knows a way to make the Phone to poweroff screen while leaving lapdock on?, The other issue i have is with the resolution it seems the default table mode in the ATT 4.1.x is with a resolution smaller than 720p and it isnt filling my screen well.

1, You need to go back to android 4.0 for the screen to not stretch.
2, Delete the updater apk so it doesn't nag you go back.
3, Screen standby app on xda is free.

I was searching the updater.apk path to rename it and i found this:
cbrunner said:
Yes, you're right. That was dumb on my part.
My phone just did this again. The only thing I changed in this situation was the renaming of Updater.apk. So, either my device is defective or renaming Updater.apk somehow kills the phone eventually, but not immediately after you rename it. Just FYI in case anyone else thought about doing this.

Now im kind of scared to remove it i know that phone was HTC not Motorola but... And both UPDATE and APK seem to be the most famous words in this forum hehehe im getting lots of results with no real path.
I did it for a friend and he said the update nag didnt dissapear. Its not the updater apk the name is somthing else or maybe he just needed a restart. If you find out the exact name, write it here.
Is there any confirmation the lapdock 100 and lapdock 500 are working PERFECTLY FULL SCREEN with an atrix HD ? (1280x720 is ok, I can live without overscan)
not like the crappy 720x576 we get on the original Atrix 4G lapdock.

[Q] A question about the Xperia Z

Hey everyone! Since the Xperia Z hasn't any camera swich like the Xperia ZL or the Xperia Z, I was wondering if it has any quick start mode like an icon on the lockscreen which works when I have a code as unlock method.
Thanks in advance for any replys.

Yep there's a camera icon on the lock screen as well as a music icon. I think you can change these in the options also.

Yeah, I know they are there but I was asking if they are there too if the phone has a code as unlock method, because usually all quick start icons dissapear on Android when a code is selected as unlock method. I had the Xperia S with a camera switch which worked to take photos even if the phone had a code as unlock method.
As far as I can tell the pin unlock, face recognition and the pattern unlock are all google lockscreens hence you won't see any customizations on them. As a matter of fact on HTC phones when you select any of the 3 you would end up having 2 lockscreens to unlock. 1 is the sense lockscreen and next would be the one you've selected( pin unlock, face recognition or pattern unlock)

I think it is a good feature because say for example your watching a movie on your phone and you see a funny face or a nice car or whatever. You can take a pic/screenshot of it. I know you can do it on HTC One s/x, GN2 and now S3 since update to 4.1.2

Agreed! It is a great feature, I just hope Sony allow a higher megapixel when recording for the camera as 1mp isn't ideal!

I found out you can take screenshots whilst watching videos, which is good. Just have to hold power button/down on volume button.

Isn't that the "stock android" way of taking screenshots since 4.0 ? I think it's present in most 4.0+ phones, even with TouchWiz.
So sad that there is no Camera button .. but anyway its a really nice smartphone in my opinion..

No after a forced restart its fine again looks like the GPU just crashed out.

No idea not a heavy GPU user. No restart since Jb update so I'm putting it down to that.

I am no expert but the same happened to me once every 1 or 2 days in a SGS3 that i had for 10 days almost because it totally stopped working so i bought this phone. I was told that this matrix happens because of an error of some kind and so the AMOLED displays this... I dont know it is true but this is what i know

I have been phoned by Movistar (cell provider) in Argentina, saying that the issue was factory related to that particular SGS3. They apologized for that but didn't give me the reason why the AMOLED behaved like that. Just for curiosity I am going to talk to someone that knows about this in the next days in Movistar Tech Service.

Placing phone calls doesn't work (Can't hear/they can't hear me)

I just picked up my pair today, and I'm already having a minor issue. Everything works perfectly, but I can't hear/be heard when I make a phone call.
I'm hoping that this is a problem with my phone, and not my glass, but when I try to call a friend they can't hear me and I'm unable to hear them. I'm using a rooted SGS2 that's got CM10.1 running.
Anyone run into this, and if so how did you fix it?

[Q] NFC file share with Samsung: KO

HI everyone,
I try more than 10 times to share one pic between my brand new Z1 and my wife's S3. The transfer never starts! even the classical NFC sound didn't happened ones!
I do the same with my N7 (2013) and works every time! sound + file sharing
I have no idea why, but it looks to me that is has something to do with Album App.
Did anyone have the same issue?
Thanks in advance for your time.

Some NFC tags work with some devices while others only work with other devices. It seems to be NFC isn't really a standard yet and not all devices work well with each other. The odd thing is I have used NFC with my Z1 and my sister's S3 mini.
Didn't know the Z1 has such a big ego.
Sent from my C6902 using xda app-developers app
It might require a specific app in both to work. I noticed that I can't transfer anyfiles until I have file expert installed on both devices. Although with file expert I can transfer not only photos but pretty much anyfile. Probably other file explorer programs could do the same.
Thank you all for your answers and tips! Appreciate that.
I'll keep trying and let you guys know what happens...

Sorry to wake this back up but I tried sending things via wifi direct from the Z1 and it isn't even listed, the procedure for sending things via Wifi Direct on the Z1 is crazy, all you need to do on other devices is to select wifi direct and it goes.
Superbeam kind of works but NFC tagging will only initiate Bluetooth, so hardly great if it's a sizeable file, like a movie or something.

Only on the S3. "S Beam" only exists and works from one Samsung device to another. Once it's off it should work like the standard android beam does.
It'll work but won't initiate WiFi direct. Just Bluetooth, which sucks.
