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.

Has anyone used their Xperia T to make NFC payments yet? Or used NFC at all? I found a digital passport app not too long ago. does this work?
I tried installing a patched google wallet app from modaco but the app wouldn't run, the app has been reported to work in the uk on rooted nfc capable devices. no idea why I can't get it working, feel free to give it a blast: http://www.modaco.com/topic/354635-region-device-root-patched-google-wallet-apk-15-r87-v15/
I have only used NFC to connect to my Sony speaker I got for Christmas, along with "NFC easy connect" app, it works fine, but I also tried to share a picture with my wife (sgs3) but it failed and my brother (GN4) failed, only thing I could share from phone to phone was a contact. Perhaps I needed an app to share pictures, but I thought the point of NFC was simplicity :/ not tried it for payments yet, don't think I will anytime soon until it becomes much more reliable!

As far as I know, you need to be using the same app to be able to transfer stuff between phones. The only thing I've been able to share between different programs was a web page (stock browser to dolphin).
But I agree with you that NFC needs to be better standarized to be practical.
I've google-beamed something to my mate's phone (SGS3) using NFC and Bluetooth.
Both needed to have NFC and Google Beam enabled for it to work.
I've also bought some Smart Tags and have used them without issue.

Where can you use NFC/Google wallet in the UK? I would if there was anywhere! Its not compatible with Visa wavepay or Pret a Manger is it??
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.

check your build.prop file, it says anything other than M7WLS that would be why its showing up as incompatable

Oddly enough I made sure it did last night and its still not working :\
Ok I did it, go and setup the newest MaDoCo Toolkit, it give the option to fix the name in the build prop.. just fix it instantly and then it will show up in the playstore, I just did it and I love the app.. takes some time to setup but it's well worth it

No, because ps3 has no IR built in. You'll need a usb dongle compatible with the ps3. I use the nyko blu-wave receiver with my Harmony remote, I'm sure this will work with that too.

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
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.majedev.superbeam
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 !

When I try to use the NFC to "beam" (or whatever you would call it) to my sister who has a gs3 it sends her to to play store to buy the song instead of her just getting the song. Is there a way I could change this or is it just something the One does? Has anyone else experienced this? Sending everything else over NFC seems to work fine. I haven't tried doing it to any other phones so maybe its just a One to gs3 thing? Any help is appreciated

I have the HTC One and my brother has the Gs4. We use SuperBeam for everything nfc related and no problems. Try that from the play store

Nfc seems to only do small things. There's also a problem if the Samsung has s beam turned on.
Another thing to consider is that often it'll try sharing the app rather than the file.

I'd like to expand here that what these applications tend to do is use NFC to exchange bluetooth information and actually send the file using bluetooth. It's also possible that it can be done using ad-hoc wifi.
The more you know.
