Nfc problem? - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

Hello I wanted to know if everyone is getting same problem or not...I have nfc on my phone but whenever I touch it with another phone it sends them into play store. Anyone know what's wrong or if there's a fix? Thanks in advance.

Yep, happens to me. But only when you try beaming things like pictures. Our phone can beam webpages, contacts. but not pictures.

True. Thought it would send pics any phn or ROM that does that?

Camera settings

I've been a little disappointed by the camera quality out of the box. The pictures aren't bad but I was expecting more after hearing about how great the camera is. Are you guys using the stock settings or are there things I can tweak to improve quality?
Also, I have problem when sharing a photo via Gmail. I take a picture in portrait mode but it sends it in landscape.
I have downloaded and am using the DSLR Camera app from Samsung Apps and have been getting great results.

How do you get that?
It is available from the Samsung apps. If you registered your phone with Samsung, you have access to apps that are apparently free for those with Samsung phones. You can find it here: http://samsungapps.com/

I'm sorry, I've not experienced that problem. I just emailed myself a couple portrait photos to double check and they were fine. Wish I could help.

Did you view the pics in your Gmail account? Or did you download them and view them in your photo viewer? Maybe the landscape orientation is the only way Gmail allows you view the pic. Could be that it's a problem with Gmail and not my S3 but I'm trying to remember if it did the same thing with pics sent from my Evo 3D. I don't think it did.
Sent them to my wife's yahoo email account and just viewed them from there.
So I just took a picture in portrait mode and sent it to my Yahoo address. When I view it in Yahoo, it's correctly in portrait mode so I guess it's a Gmail issue.

[Q] LiveView problem.

I'm using NXT 1.3 ROM. I have just bought a LiveWiev watch, updated it using update service but now I'm having a few problems after pairing and connecting the watch to my phone. I can't log in to facebook and twitter to see its notifications, LiveWiev application says that there's an error. Also I can't see any missed calls and calendar in LV. The watch just vibrates and the big cross appears above the option. The only thing I can do is to read the messages. Nothing else.
What is wrong? Do you have similar problems with this device?
I was thinking of buying one but i am abit put of by all the bad reviews, anybody?

Facebook not syncing photos with contacts

Sorry if this question has already been asked, I searched, which is useless with the xda app and did not find anything. Has anyone else had issue with Facebook contact photos not syncing with contacts in address book?

Did you check the sync settings for facebook and select "sync with contacts"?

Facebook decided it wasn't going to place nice with google anymore and throw up all kind of restrictions on the API to sync contact pictures with Android. Basically it's not even supported with JB so that means you need to use a 3rd party app unfortunately. Don't ask me for sources because I read it somewhere when I was researching why my contact pictures weren't syncing. I just tried to go back and find where I read it but couldn't find it.
Personally, I've been using this app on the market: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...wsMSwxLDMsInJvLndlZWRuZXQuY29udGFjdHNzeW5jIl0.
Yeah, I read about Facebook not playing well with JB. I just use Friendcaster to sync contact photos then remembered to un sync it after it drained the battery not allowing the phone to sleep, if you don't un sync it syncs constantly.

Friendcaster doesn't have the option of how often it syncs? The app I recommended does. I have it set to once a day on wifi only. And you can specify how large you want the picture to be. High Quality photos on the N2 is amazing!!!

Thanks for the info. It looks like an issue with ICS on ION. Maybe the update will fix it.

Confirmed on stock official at&t ROM. If a video call is ended before the other person answers phone stops responding and has to be powered down. My Nexus 7 does not appear to have the same issue though so let's hope the update comes soon.

I hate this new app. It's sluggish, resource hungry and overall adds nothing to good old Gtalk.
I have rolled out the update and will never install it again.

Aye, me too. But I'm afraid soon Google will force us to migrate to it...just like "Google Settings" appeared in the app drawer without asking for it, Hangouts is gonna replace Talk. :-/

Hangouts has already replaced talk, and I personally think it's loads better, if only more people used it I would definitely consider it a possible whatsapp replacement.
I don't have any issues with the app as some of you have experienced. (xperia s with jb .197)
The real question is, what will happen to g+ messenger? As we now have 2 messaging apps from Google.

It has replaced it, yeah, but you can still use the old Gtalk if you want.
G+ messenger will be gone with the new G+ update.
I used google talk a lot for work, so was kind of worried about this change overall...as i don't use G+ for anything (nor fb for that matter), but also liked how google talk on my phone, and gmail's browser conversation thing sync'd easily...
as far as the android hangouts app, whatever...it works, didn't really care what it looked like...but i will say the chrome extension for hangouts is much better than how gmail integrated. I can now have any number of my work/home machines connected to hangouts without having gmail opened. Not sure if this is how G+ worked before, as I wasn't going to bother using that.
I'm still learning it...but also prefer how hangouts doesn't seem to be archived into gmail automatically...you can set it up to do that, but it doesn't just default to dumping a pointless 3 line conversation into 'all mail'...I know you were able to change all that with google talk, just didn't feel like messing with it.
So whatever in my case...its definitely not worse for me. The bigger problem still is, and always will be, the trends of what people use. I still get numerous fb messages a week despite it being obvious that i'm never on there...then border line threats for ignoring someone haha.

Omega Rom camera

Sorry if this had been asked, I'm running omega ver 7 on my T mobile s4, everything works flawlessly except camera. It takes photos well, and i preview them and they look fine. But when I share them in Facebook, messages, Google drive, or anywhere else the image quality gets much worse, and even blurry, it's almost like it coverts it to a lower megapixel photo. Anyone had this happened? Any suggestions?

I am running omega7 on m919 with no issues on camera what so ever. sharing pic on facebook, mms, google drive, dropbox, etc, etc. did you change any settings? what's your setup? what kernel you running?
I did not mess with the settings, running kt kernel. Did you try pinching to zoom after sharing the photo? Sometimes is not as noticeable until you zoom in.

Facebook and others compress their photos. They will always be blurry when zoomed in

messages will get compressed and idk about google drive...
pictures that i want clear on facebook get resized first on photoshop and then i click on "high quality" in the fb options.
for messaging, if i need the picture clear i just use dropbox and send them the link to the original image.
dropbox > google drive...just saying
Ever thought about actually posting this in the omega thread?
