does the htc one support android beam because when im looking for it in settings i cant see the option just nfc
It does..used it to beam to my gf gnex that she has inherited..you need to adjust the phones slightly tho as the nfc chip are not in same spot..could be the same with other phones

ok so there is no option to turn android beam on you just turn nfc on and good to go?
Doesn't seem to work on samsung devices? Tried to send some files over and it didn't work, tried over wifi direct and still didn't work.
Maybe i'm missing something.

I'm pretty sure samsung uses s-beam which is wifi direct and not bluetooth. (Someone correct me of its the other way around.)
So if you wanna beam to a samsung device turn off s-beam and keep nfc on.

what about wifi direct all of the info i can find online about this and android beam are showing that you can turn them on in settings, is this an update for 4.2.2
Samsungs s-beam uses it. Not normal android beam.

hey guys,
first day i got this phone i tried any feature...
what i was missing? the wifi-direct option in settings
what was strange, the app, wifi shoot, which should only install from the market if the phone is wifi direct compatible installed just fine
starting it results in a popup asking me to go to settings to enable wifi direct
strange?
today i was working with nfc, any tag launcher especially...
it has the ability to launch apps (intents) or activitys of the apps
i guess tasker has the same functionality so if you try, there might be a similair way
so i go to one of my saved nfc tags, add a new action and under the "intent" subsection i select start activity
select:
(in German)
Einstellungen
Settings$WifiP2pSettingsAcvtivity
i guess in english you only have to replace Einstellungen with Settings
now when i go to settings and disable wifi, launch this activity and start wifi direct, wifi shoot doesnt show the popup and shows my device name...
till now i wasnt able to test, wether this really works (i dont have a second wifi direct phone here atm :/ )
could anybody test this?
Thanks
//Robert
This would be so interesting if it works this way.
Sadly I cant test this because i also dont have another wifi direct device.
But i just did a quick google search and the Razr M is indeed able to do Wifi-Direct. But having a Intel SoC here will also result in a different Wifi-Chip right!?
PS: Greetings from D-Derendorf, Robert
I tried it with my Nexus 7,
works! Very Nice!
also just tried, works like a charm, stupid moto

can't make it work with s3 from a friend, what device did you use?
I tried but I just can't, please let me know what is the application to use and the instructions. I'm new on this but I'm starting to love this hi-tech device.
Please help, I don't know if I need something else because the app Anytag NFC launcher doesn't let me do anything.
I'm not an expert on this field, but I would like to impress my Nexus4 friends that the Razr i is really good.
Thanks!
The nfc of my RAZR I doesn't wok, I connect to my nexus 10 and it doesnt work but when I connect my s3 to the nexus 10 it works flawless...
Even the RAZR I doesn't work with the s3...

Wifi direct is one thing, NFC is another, don't mix up.
AW: Make WiFi Direct Work
I just updated To jb and it seems like they kept the activity but the removed nearly all gui elements
How can we get this back?

Does anyone know how to use Wifi direct with the HTC one to transfer moderate to large files like movies or videos.( beam/bue tooth is to slow) Everytime i try to use it with any phone it fails or doesn't connect. ive also tried third party apps like super beam/ send!/file transfer/ none of which work. i find it hard to believe that the HTC one is suppose to compete with the GS4 and GS3 but cant do any features that mimic S BEAM its a fail on HTC. if anyone could help to get this to work i would appreciate it thank you

Superbeam works fine on my HTC one. Use it to transfer between my one and my Nexus 10 all the time. Make sure Wifi direct is enabled on your phone, I believer there is an option to block it if you don't want people connecting, or something.
Every time I use it it says wifi direct fail I've tried HTC to HTC and HTC to Samsung I have my wifi and wifi direct turned on still not working I even went into the wifi direct option and manually paired with device still not working also tried a different HTC to make sure it's not mine still having same is first file was 86kb failed next was 1gb movie failed

I've successfully transferred a picture with super beam from my one to nexus 7. Not sure what's keeping it from working

Maybe you could try doing a factory reset or a custom rom, maybe something is borked in your os.
Have the same problem. Try to use WiFi direct with my wife's gs3 so I can watch a movie on my ps3 and her phone kept saying connection failed. Her sbeam was on and we were paired. Kinda weird. Any way on a side note any way to connect our phone as mass storage instead of mtp?

i rooted and flashed custom rom wifi direct still not working with superbeam always comes up saying wifi direct failed try wifi hot spot option....any other suggestions
MadMan3353, we are building an app that does exactly just that. The app is called Drop, and it is a simple, fast, and secure way to share files with people/devices in proximity over WiFi Direct. We are going into a limited Private Beta soon, so if you're up for the challenge, (and running Jelly Bean) then sign up at www.get-drop.com. Seats are limited, and we have a rolling enrollment, so check it out.

Seriously? This doesn't help solve his problem. Especially when it is obvious from his posts that he has tried HTC to HTC.

This is why I think Samsung in the long run is going to lose...as they copied their way to the top, they are becoming like Apple...create a closed-ecosystem solution. At a minimum you need to create something that works at least within Android....and if you're ambitious, make it work cross-platform with iOS....shameless plug...go check out what we're doing at www.get-drop.com! Going into Private Beta soon for Android first...

I was trying to play around with Android Beam between my One and EVO 4G LTE, and I noticed that the EVO 4G LTE has an option to turn on Android Beam, but it's not on the One. I know that Google Wallet is disabled as well. Am I missing something, or has this been identified and responded to from Sprint/HTC?
I have been able to transfer data between my nexus 7 and HTC one just by touching them back to back and tapping the screen when it asked me to. And super beam app works as well, but I don't think it's necessary.

So then I guess that means Android Beam is enabled automatically. Good to know.

Android Beam/NFC only transfers are fairly slow. Great for small things, but not for larger files/videos. I'd recommend the SuperBeam/anything WiFi Direct solution for larger files. I think SuperBeam is a fairly good alternative/copy of Samsung's SBeam.
How does nfc work? My mates got. S4 and tried to send me a photo but it just sends me to a dead play store link.
Any tips on how to work with any device?

did you make it work? I tried the same thing but all I heard is the sound twice but nothing. Somewhere I read, you need to have the Bluetooth on but didn't help...

I use "send!" from the app store which uses nfc to make a wireless connection so you have much better speed. But if you want to use pure nfc just install "Android Beam" and you can send things through nfc to others even if they don't have the app. Under share it will pop up with the app that allows you to send it.

Doh, I guess android beam is now baked in so just let the devices connect and it will auto share the content, as I said I use send!. Here's the official tutorial https://support.htc.com/en-uk/005-HTC_One/0G0/040
The s4 has to have s-beam off and nfc on then it'll work.

Hi all,
I just wondering how exactly to use this features on my HTC One. Does anybody use it successfully ? I cannot do that. I tried sometimes to send files with WiFi direct but it does not appear neither in gallery and music! ;(

I dont think that you can beam files from phone to phone via wifi. with NFC it works but its a bit buggy.

But is was possible between S2 and S3... And how to do that with NFC ? Some guide or something else like that ?
Is only one option the bluetooth ? I mean without thirdparty app.
Thanks beforehand!

Same question here. I tried using NFC also but it is not working for me. I enabled it from settings. Any other setting required? First I thought its a hardware problem in my handset.
Have you tried using SuperBeam from the mkt? Works fine for me between my HTC One and an N4 - transferred a large video file pretty quickly between the two even though there was no wifi network/router available nearby

for NFC share, this is what HTC says https://support.htc.com/en-au/010-HTC_One/0G0/040

Thanks. SuperBeam successfully transfer one mp3 from S3 to One but it was impossible do it from One to S3.. I will try again tomorrow.
About thr NFC when i try to send imahe or music the S3 opens Playstore and says the item is not found!
I cannot understand where exact is the problem. As I said already it was VERY easy to transfer from S2( one of the best phone I have ever had) and S3...
PS: I love my ONE !
