HTC one sharing photo with s4 via nfc

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.

Atooma finally available for the gear

Atooma seems to be a rudimentary tasker type app.
I played around with a bit, made a profile where the vertical movement would silence my phone but the controls are way to sensitive. Just moving your wrist is enough to trigger the action. Not a bad start I guess, what profiles or uses can you guys think of?
Another semi cool action I made is when I flick my wrist, my phone opens up google now.

May be a cool way to send quick messages, need to check it out more.

I tried to set up a rule to send gmail messages, but when they come through on the gear, it just give the subject and time of the email and says to check the phone for more info.

This is interesting, are we installing this on our gear or our phones ?

Both. you need the app on your phone from the play store and the Gear app from the Gear manager app store.

You can install Wondershare Mobile2Go on pc (free trial 30 days), then appmonster free on Galaxy Gear and you can share Atooma's apk.
No root required, only debug usb enabled.

Here's the Atooma apk

Thank you thank you !
I assume this is for the gear ? Could you please supply the apk for phone ?
EDIT: Verified the APK supplied is for the gear.
The reason for this is the Atooma APK we have available on the play store is not compatible with gear.

Here's the APK from the phone
(It is too big to attach to the forum)
I've stopped using it on the Gear as the notifications just say to check the phone for more detail.
Using the Samsung email app seems to be the only way at the moment to get email details to the Gear.

I cant get these working together !
I install both apk's, although I cant see any options for the gear on the atoomba app..
I just recieve a "Please check Atooma phone app." error on the gear.

^^^I get the same as well

After both are installed(phone and watch) you have to enable the gear as a device in the Atooma phone app.
It's under the "connections" tab.

Fleksy on Galaxy Gear

Hi,
I love using Fleksy on my phone
I've seen Fleksy run on the Omate TrueSmart watch.
Does anybody know if it can run on the Gear?
How would I go about loading it on the Gear?
Thanks!

It didn't work when I tried, you have to side load it to your watch! How to side load via youtube! http://youtu.be/lriJxw8IoSo

Did it work after you side loaded it ?

I thought the same when I sideloaded it few days ago, and when I tried it today it worked!
Maybe because I rebooted the device??
No idea but it rocks!

Fleksy is pretty good on the Gear!

I haven't even heard of Fleksy until just now, all I can saw is that it's amazing on my S3!
The auto-correct is one of the best I've seen so far, would be cool if the integrated a way to import personal dictionaries from SMS or FB like Swiftkey or Swype.
Going to try sideloading now

Looks like that is assuming you don't have another keyboard installed if you have null and the keyboard installed you will have to select it.

Rooting my gear tonight... Question

I was told if I root my gear I can use bluetooth tether and essentially run apps on my gear. The apps I'm looking to run are for my car alarm and ingress. So what I was wondering is what I was told true? And do I just have to root my gear or does my phone have to be rooted as well? Because right now I have the Note 3 completely stock and unrooted.

You dont need to root your gear in order to run custom apps, depending on what type of app it is tho they may or may not work..
I would read up on side loading applications first, test the waters out.. the apps you require may work straight out of the box by simply side loading them to your gear with out rooting.
Alternatively if you find the apps dont work, you can try loading my rom which includes a few library's, unlocked features & other various functions that some apps require in order to run correctly.
EDIT: Here is a simple guide on how to sideload applications: HERE

Awesome thank you! I'll have to read up on how you sideload apps. I saw a YouTube video where guy was actually playing ingress on his watch, what was on his phone screen transferred to watch screen same for his car alarm app, he just didn't say if it was rooted or not I just figured it was lol. Sorry had to edit my post. I do think you probably needs to be rooted to run something like ingress since it's an online game and the gear can't run anything online like a game or Facebook so I guess maybe that's why it has to be rooted and use a Bluetooth transfer lol I'm a very big newbie when it comes to the gear.

Bluetooth tethering is the easiest way. If you root your watch you can actually install play store and download as if it's a tablet tethered. Some apps may need to be wifi spoofed with is a xposed module included in null.
Keep in mind your phone needs to be running an international rom. I had to get rid of my T-Mobile rom for an international to enable Bluetooth tethering. Wasn't the watch holding me back, rather the phone itself

[Q] So I guess I just rooted my phone (4.4.2) using a vid on Youtube. Now what?

the vid was a lityle over 4 minutes, apparently I cant post a vid here, but ya if you search "root galaxy s4 4.4" it would be the 3rd vid on you tube.
I can atleast move files an unzip them now, would not allow me to do so after I updated to crappy 4.4. What else can I do now?
It still wont let me choose where to send my download files from dolphin browser.
Any cool things I can do?

also what are roms?
sorry for asking. im just not tech savvy like I would like to be

anyone?

Do you have the AT&T version? I tried rooting mine that is an AT&T version of the S4 Active and nothing happens and I get a message saying I am not using the Active.
