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.

Has anyone figured out how to use a phone's data connection as a wifi connection for the Kindle. In this particular instance an iPhone.. Yes I know they suck and I want to get rid of mine, but in the mean time... I looked into it a little bit, my phone is jailbroken, and the only app I have come accross is PdaNet, which I guess uses adroid too. I just could not get it to work so thats why I am coming here. I am leaving for a long road trip from FL to NC in a couple of weeks and I thought it would be useful. Thanks in advance!!:good:
AW: Thether..
If you have an iphone 4 or later, you can use the personal Wlan hotspot feature.
If you have a 3gs you can only enable a personal bluetooth hotspot for a PAN.
If you have a rooted Kindle you can install the Bluetooth PAN app over the Play Store.

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.

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.

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...

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.

Hey everybody ! I'm a regular user of Google wallet and since the android update to 4.3 I'm unable to utilize the apk.
I've tried with stock rooted and with custom rom but to no luck
I'm trying at a McDonald's location that I know works based on the fact that I've used it many times in the past. At least prior to the update.
Had anyone been able to use Google wallet since the 4.3 update?
Edit: I'm using an ota based rom
Interesting. I had no issue setting it up or enabling tap-to-pay, but I haven't actually tested it yet. I'm sure the custom ROM wouldn't work if it was anything besides Sense based, but I'm not 100 on Sense based custom ROMs. I'll test it out this evening when I swing by PetCo.
I haven't had any problems. Tested yesterday

What rom are you using please?
Have the same problem as OP. Tried it Stock rooted and BadBoy which im currently running. Both no go. Setup was fine, but when i try paying with it, nothing happens. And yes, my NFC was on and had a stable LTE connection.
No issues for me. I even got used as a training experience for a new PetCo employee. Apparently they'd been waiting on me coming back in so they could show them how to handle NFC payments. I'm not sure how I feel about being that well known at PetCo for using Google Wallet.
Tried Google Wallet at CVS Pharmacy and Best Buy both times the transaction was declined even though I wasn't close to my max credit line or on my debit card.
I've had issues since the update to the Google Wallet app. Not sure it's 4.3 the problem. But I'm getting a transaction declined when I use it. But I know it has nothing to do with my limit being reached because I always endup paying with the actual card.

@rougegoat & @Deathsnuggle was your use while on the new 4.3 rom or something else?
My experience is nothing happens. No vibration (which normally happens when you place phone on nfc placard to pay)
no denied (because it doesn't connect or communicate)
and after trying to communicate with my wife's phone (HTC evo 4g lte) which normally at least vibrates to acknowledge something's attempting to communicate, nothing happens there either (which used to before the update)
And just to clarify I did the radio update, firmware update, recovery update, then rom (android 4.3 w/sense 5)

I wiped everything. Coming from 4.1 I wanted a fresh slate. Haven't even transferred my music and pictures back yet. I haven't tried badboyz rom yet though.

Stock 4.3, root, s-off. I had a few issues the first day, but have had no issues since. But I really don't like that they set the password requirement to once a day as the default.

Ok I wanted to post that I found out what was causing MY problem... I was using exposed framework. I'm NOT SAYING that it breaks nfc but some combination I had going was causing my issue.
I installed my rom again without exposed and it works again.

I had a feeling it was related to this, but I love toolbox too much. What module were you using?
Well interestingly enough, the nfc function works with the android beam but my Google wallet apk isn't functioning.
Looks like back to the drawing board.

Yea I full wiped the other day and didn't install anything EXCEPT Google Wallet and couldn't get it to work. Wallet says tap and pay is setup correctly, but can never authorize a transaction even though my phone beeps and vibrates when it makes a connection with our vending machine. I'm on Badboyz, which is pretty close to stock.
