First off I have a G-slate from T-mobile. I recently got a really good deal on a bluetooth headset from samsung (hm3700). It tells you to download the app FreeSync to get all the advanced android functionality. Sadly the G-slate is not compatible. I have two problems, either of which being solved helps me (not necessarily both). 1. I need someone to download the app and get the apk so i can download it and try to tweak it so it would work on my G-slate. and/or 2. Someone else find or make a modified apk of freesync so i can use it. Any and all help is greatly appreciated.
Enjoy, if it works.
Good luck with it working. I was able to download and install it from my Nexus S with Android 4.0.4. However, while I would open it and didn't force close, it didn't recognize the HM7000 was connected to open the advanced settings. It did work correctly on my HTC Aria running 2.3. Not sure if they are going to be updating it for Android 3.x/4.0 anytime soon though.
Thank you! And thanks for the extra info it might prove to be valuable.

this is bs. I have a Galaxy s III and ordered the HM 7000 thinking of course a SAMSUNG headset, top of the line, would be compatible with their top of the line flagship phone the S III. I guess not. If they don't get Freesync updated in a few weeks I'll have to return the HM7000 as defective.
Yeah is a piece of junk software ...awesome that you cannot get a top of the line headset with a top of the line phone all from the same brand. It does not work with my Note either.
tnx

I downloaded the .apk and it runs on my HTC Evo View (stock Gingerbread) but how do I add a shortcut to the homescreen? The app is not listed in My Apps.
Hello,
Can you please upload the 2.4.2 version ? as i can't download it from play store. I have a SGS3 and HS6000 i hope it will work. Thanks in advance.
So with the release of the Galaxy S III comes what Google should have had when they included NFC into its Android OS. IMO, one of the best features of the new SIII is the S Beam (enhanced NFC technology enabling transfer of files with Wi-Fi Direct from what i understand). Now i see the G Nex has wi-fi direct in its settings. Would this be something that can be ported over to the Galaxy Nexus?
Isn't Android Beam the same thing, which is included in Android 4.x.x

It is except for sending large files over wifi direct.
Read up on Bluetooth 3.0 and 4.0 specs. Samsung branded tech that is already established.
let it be.
All that S Beam is doing is using NFC to initiate the communication by sending MAC and IP address details, and then the phones create an ad-hoc wifi network to transfer the files. Wifi Direct is already built into Android 4.0, Samsung just made some fancy scripts to initiate it through NFC.
The real challenge with something like this is integrating hooks or plugins that add support for all the various data and file types you want to be able to send over Wifi Direct. A lot of apps don't have an action set for when you're trying to use Android Beam, such as the Gallery app or your favorite file manager, and this is because Android Beam doesn't yet initiate a Wifi Direct session like what S Beam does.
The quick and dirty solution to this is to write an app that imitates S Beam without needing Touchwiz, and just add it as another "Share" option when you're viewing files stored on your device. It's an extra step for the user since it's not going to hook into the app automatically, but it will integrate nicely with any app that has the built in sharing function. For instance, this means when you're viewing something in the Gallery nothing is going to happen automatically when you hold up your phone to someone else's, but once you hit the Share button you'll get the option to send it over Wifi Direct.

with this tech thats established, am i able to tap phones together to share files? If so that'd be great!! i was hoping for exact replication of what S Beam provides. Ease of Use - tap the phones together and instantly share files. If i have to swipe down to activate bluetooth and then choose what file i want to send, its not as intuitive as tapping two phones together.
All um saying is the tech is already there and Samsung put an s on it. It needs to be implemented of course. By app, os or whatever. And our phones have 4.0 but only 3.0 is on spec sheet.
let it be.
I remember when the Nexus first came out people were suggesting the same exact solution for sending large files, but no one seemed really interested in it (probably because NFC-enabled phones aren't very widespread). Good to see Samsung has led the way in this and hopefully Google will put the feature in AOSP at some point.

The tech is there. Bluetooth by itself isn't very efficient for larger files or greater than across small room distance. Nfc is just for links and small images really. I did transfer a few gigs in a reasonable time using astro Bluetooth. I don't know for sure if anything is actually using the wifi part when bt 3/4.0 is lacking. I am guessing that Samsung is putting it out there now. Google needs to step up the game with nfc, wallet and bt 3/4.0. USB mass storage would be a lot less of an issue for more people. But so would having more storage on the phone also.
let it be.
S Beam and Android Beam is the same thing,,,,, Anybody thought about S Voice? It would be groundbreaking if anybody could port it

Bluetooth.

wifi direct on gnex
So, the only problem is that the nexus doesn't have the software to s beam, BUT it has the hardware. I've tried every ROM imaginable for my Nexus and the s3 touchwiz5. Bluetooth seems like it would take the fun out of beaming.

This is not true. S Beam is an "enhanced" version of Android Beam. Android Beam is intended to share very little files... like contacts file... for example you can't share an image!

S beam is very possible with the nexus. Google needs to flip the switch on the bt 4.0 we have in our hardware.

Why do you keep talking about bluetooth? S Beam uses wifi-direct. I'm pretty sure wifi direct is faster than bluetooth I could be mistaken though. I hope this soon becomes a reality!

What's your point? Bluetooth 4.0 and Wifi-Direct are not the same thing.

I was just watching the Google IO Keynote live stream (I know, everyone's ideal way to spend a nice afternoon), and I saw this company that was getting featured by Android called Ekata Systems who launched their app Tapestry at the show. It seems to be a synchronized slideshow between JB devices with some snazzy twists that I've never seen any app do. It works best when you're trying it with a friend/family member so there are at least two devices (phone and/or tablet) to highlight the features though. You can check out the interview here, and the app here.
Talk about bleeding edge...only available on Jelly Bean. It uses this new feature called WiFi Direct that creates a local P2P network between 1:N clients. I'm playing with it with my co-workers and it is pretty sweet.
Is it for sure only for JB? The image in the app info shows a GSII and a Droid RAZR.

You've got a good eye! Since I have a JB Galaxy Nexus and an N7, I can see the app in Google Play. But my friends who run an older distribution, can't even search for the app in the app store. As far as I know it only runs on JB.

Thanks that made me laugh!
I tried the app w/ my wife, who has a GNex running JB, and I have a brand spank'n new N7. It was awesome seeing the phone control a slideshow on the bigger screen of the N7, and we were scrolling through her pictures. It is almost like a mobile power point slideshow. There is a nifty feature we discovered, where if you do a swipe gesture on the viewing device, the image downloads directly to the device...which is weird because my N7 was not connected to WiFi at the time. Anyone know how it could've gotten the file without being connected to a WiFi AP? I heard something about WiFi Director but don't know what that is.
I did a quick search, and WiFi Direct is essentially a P2P protocol over WiFi. It doesn't required a live WiFi AP connection, so it works pretty much anywhere. I don't think I've seen any app use WiFi Direct, so thought it was pretty neat.

Not to squash innovation but doesnt Instagram already kinda suit the need? I clearly see the differences but I think its splitting hairs in the solution dept. New App, less community, faster death. Unless its truly compelling.

Less community....watching the guy talk about it in his Google IO video...I think that is almost the point. It is not to go wide and online and asynchronous....but closer and more intimate and more synchronous. A completely different approach to the experience of photo sharing.
Wifi direct been available since ICS.

Dude I was watching All About Android #69 last night, and guess who they did an exclusive feature on? @ ~10:45
That's one of the cool features of galaxy s3, share shot, was wondering when it will be out for all, and here it is.
Is this feature not available on the Nexus S? I tried the app, but it didn't seem to work. It does seem to work on my wife's Galaxy Nexus, but without a second device, it's hard to actually test/enjoy it.

Yeah, sounds like from the feedback of another member that the Nexus S, although running JB, doesn't support WiFi Direct so it may not work. Pretty sweet when you get it going though. Time to buy a Nexus 7 so you can hook up with your wife's GNex!
My sister-in-law got the JB update on her Sprint GNex phone and is trying out the app and having problems. Anyone else try downloading/using the app and have a Spring GNex w/ JB? Kindly advise if you're having problems using the app.

Crittias. I just got an auto-update notice a few days ago that Tapestry has updated, and supposed it supports all the way back to Gingerbread. Sharp move, since not everyone is going to have JellyBean devices, so with Gingerbread, 85%+ of Android users can finally use the app. Should come in handy this holiday season when using the app, since nobody else in my entire family has JellyBean. Cromagnons! =)
Hello All,
I'm new to the forums, new to android, and new to rooting. I recently switched over from iphone, and it has been a bumpy yet fun ride.
I have an unlocked Galaxy SIII SGH-i747M running the Illusion ROM, android ver. 4.2.2 illusion ver. 4.2.2.2.1 beta
I really miss the stock email app and S-voice, I'm trying to get them back. I've tried the email app from this package:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=28000240
as well as this modded app here, which installed OK but doesn't seem to be working as it will not sync any mail no matter what sync settings I choose.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=28246860
I don't know what to do about the S-voice. So far what I've read says it cannot be done. Any ideas guys? Please go easy on me, as I am new to this stuff and yes, I did do my research on the forums and wasn't getting anywhere on my own. Thanks!

While I'm only 99 percent certain, I'd say this is not going to work for you. From what I know, both of these apps are integrated and reliant upon the Touchwiz interface to work correctly. May be a stupid question, but have you correctly set the incoming/outgoing servers in the email app?

Yes, I believe so. I used the same settings which did work when I had touchwiz. I could tell it was talking to the server because it still prompted to accept all the security settings, etc. it requires, just would never display anything in the inbox.
I did get the s voice to work last night, though (yay) a couple bugs but will work for me. If I cant use the stock email app, do you have any other suggestions? Something lightweight and clean?
Thank you.

When you installed the email APK, did you use a package installer or did you place it in system/apk? If you took the latter step, you may have needed to fix the permissions of the apk. If you used a package installer you may want to try the system apk method. Let me know if you don't fully understand and I will try to be of more help. BTW the permissions should read rw x r x r
. Another thing to look into would be to install the secemail.apk from the S4, as it may be an Android 4.2 thing.
I just bought a Nexus 7 (2013) after using a Samsung Tab 2 7.0 for the last couple years. I also have a Galaxy S 4. I've now tried 4 other email apps but find that the stock Samsung email app works perfectly for everything I want to do. Does anyone know where I can find Samsung email version 4.4.2.0200 as a standalone app so I can install it on the Nexus? If anyone knows where I can find the APK it sure would be appreciated.
Most Samsung apps are TouchWiz dependant. Your better off looking on the playstore for a replacement. K9 mail, aqua mail...etc

Thanks for your quick response. I was afraid that was going to be the answer. I tried K-9 and I find it to be funky with the way it treats deleted mail on the server and in a few other areas. Haven't looked at Aqua but did try some other email apps. Never realized how useful some of the Samsung specific apps are. In the short time I've had the Nexus I love the speed, cellular capability and various other things (including the price) but miss a number of features from Samsung.

Try tot extract the APK (from your s4 or tab) with 'Lucky Patcher' and sideload it on your N7.

Have you tried CloudMagic? It's a damn nice email app. I use it to combine all my inboxes from different providers (Yahoo, hotmail and gmail). I used to be on Samsung and this one beats it hands down.
Why not just let Gmail manage the other email accounts
