NFC android beam picture transfer. - Sprint HTC One (M7)

I was playing with the NFC on the One and I transferred a few items between my my phone and my daughter's Note II. I noticed that when I send her a picture the Note II will download it to her gallery and she just can click the notification and open the picture. But when she tries to send me a picture the One just opens the play store and I get item not found error, like it seems the one requires an app to download the picture but when the play store tries to take me to it the One is not compatible with that particular app?
Let me know if you guys are having the same problem or a work around.

I saw this too. I saw it happen both ways (to or from the ONE) if the destination device was doing something. See if it still happens when you aren't actively down/uploading something and aren't running any other apps and are on a basic home screen (no blink feed).
That's where I was when I successfully received and sent via NFC with the ONE.

Sounds like the Note is sending the app information instead of the file itself. Your phone is attempting to locate this mysterious different app in the store, but can't find it because it doesn't exist up there. Seems like this is an issue of Samsung not coding in a way that makes their device play nicely with others.

Well, I should add I beamed between a GS3 and Moto RAZR M with success (all phones stock & unrooted).
Perhaps it could be limited to the Note II if you still have trouble after trying the above.

I just tried with my Nexus 7 and it works fine both ways sending picture, I will try later today with the Note II. Sounds like it's the Note,'s fault after trying your advice. Now if I could make Google wallet to work without rooting my phone.....

How do you do this process of beaming pictures with nfc? Care to give a short tutorial? I tried and can't figure it out. Thanks

Just put the phones back to back (might have to move it around a little to find the NFC locations) and once it vibrates click on what you want to share

... And make sure you have it enabled on both phones obviously.
Usually settings, near the top by wireless... for the HTC One press "More..." then enable NFC in there.

Reporting back, The issue is with the Galaxy Note II. I was able to send both ways pictures from the nexus 7 and the one, but when I try to sent from the note II to the other 2 devices I just get the broken market link. I check the Note's forum later.

The Samsung phone uses their own NFC app. So when you try and transfer it to any other phone other then a Samsung phone it is looking for the NFC app on the playstore. This happens with the S3 as well.
I think if you download the Samsung NFC Tectile app it might work. Not sure 100% on that.

File Expert is a good NFC app replacement. You can send a lot of stuff through it too. Like full games (apk's), songs, pictures etc.
I never use NFC so I'm not too worried about it.

Probably sbeam messing with stuff. Had this problem with the Note II trying to beam to an Optimus G

I did get a clean transfer though with a GS3 that was stock, so not sure about all of that, though I bet it has something to do with it.

The problem is not sending pictures to the Note II. the problem is sending pictures from the Note II to the one. I tried turning off s-beam and the Note recognized the NFC on the HTC one but it didn't even tried to send the picture.

Find Phone Question

Hi helpful people of XDA.
I've received my One and I'd very much like to keep it in my possession. Just wondering if there's a find my iPhone style app available for it? Or if its in settings somewhere?
Edit - Also while I'm here, the phone doesn't seem to distinguish between H and H+ it's annoying, is there any chance of being able to see the difference?
Thanks.

Plan B is awesome. You can install that one after you lost it via play.google.com
Otherwise you can use prey or any other app .. there are tons
Theres also Wheres my Droid
But as said, most of these "finding" apps you can install online through your google account and then track down your phone
So many apps I wasn't aware of!
Thanks chaps.

WIFI direct

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

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.

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...

Is there a way to share the pictures from the gear? I've noticed that there is a grayed out area (share half triangle) on the picture.

You can root and install Bluetooth File Transfer and send to other bluetooth devices, install Evernote, send it that way, or sync the pic with your phone and share from your phone.
No rooting necessary. Side load Tablet Talk with wondershare and you can share straight from the watch to anyone...just make sure you know the number. It doesn't sync contacts.

I am newbie, don't even know what side-load means. I tried Bluetooth Transfer, but I am not rooted, whatever that is.. So, it doesn't work..
I am going to keep reading and most likely I will find out how to side load.. The Samsung rep loaded a couple pics off my Note 3 to the Gear, but he didn't know how he did it...
It seems the mini-gallery is working. I loaded a lot of my pics and vids on my Note 3. I have a 64gb sd card, so I was real liberal with the amount of pictures. Today, I hit the mini-gallery app on my GG and sure enough, I could browse all my pics..haven't tried the vids..

Well mine is working like a charm. Not rooted. App is "mini gallery"... I have it on the face of my GG. I tap it, it shows me the pics on the camera, and what I have stored on the Note 3.. Shows them all.
It works for me now, i just uninstalled the 1.5 tablet in gear and installed 1.7 and with that version the share worked
Still cant find the .apk file in my note3 for my tablet talk i bought would be great to use that instead in my gear.

SlingPlayer

Anyone else install SlingPlayer out of curiosity? It installs and works well w/ BT tethering. The one thing I cannot seem to change is the app auto-rotates the image 90 degrees, so you have to take the watch off to watch it. Is there an Xposed mod or another way of rotating the image back?

You can set orientation with app settings (xposed module).
Would have never guessed this works well? Which slingbox do you have? I'm very doubtful that the stream would be good enough via BT tethering?
I am also running slingbox..... It will take a minute to adjust to the speed but after that it works great! Only negative is battery..... but really That's a given!

Worked great. Thanks! And thanks for the great ROM also!
This surprisingly works really well. Is anybody else unable to change the channel using the keybpard though? The right column is practically gone, you can't use the "3, 8, and enter."
Is anyone able to post a picture of sling player running in their gear? I don't doubt that it works just want to see the scale of it. I think it is pretty freaking awesome to have TV on your watch.

Not a very clear picture, but this was one of the playoff games from this weekend.
Awesome! Thanks for taking the time to post that. Looks like I sold my gear a bit too soon. Probably would have kept it if I had come across this sooner. Oh well!

Since it's a similar idea, I figure I would just add this to the Slingbox post. I also set up IP Camera Viewer with success on the Gear. Now I can view my home cams from my watch as well.

Car mode

Does anyone have car mode on their note?
I cant find it on mine. Checked in the status bar options and also all through the settings with no luck.
I heard that aome carrier versions do not have it. Im wondering if im in that boat (i purchased mine on a plan through Telstra). Mine seems to be a standard version though as there is no physical carrier branding on the phone, only incthe software when it boots up.
Im really surprised and disappointed that with todays techniology, i have a phone that cant assist me with the likes of reading back emails, sms, etc and all thst handsfree stuff while driving.
Please tell me theres a way i can add this function. If need bw im happy to install a different firmware that had this included.

I think it is a carrier thing, not sure though. You can Google Samsung Car Mode and there is an XDA member who uploaded one that works on the SM-N920I version.
Legendary! Found, installed, abd now one safe happy driver. Thank you!
Im going to have a look and see if i can install the stock standard OS without the carrier restrictions and apps. Seems silly to remove such a useful tool. Hate to know what else im missing

Originally it wouldn't show up in the galaxy app store. A week ago it did. Downloaded it and have some issues with it so I have removed it for now. After using it Google voice won't hear me and also have issues with using a Bluetooth headset with it.
