So a friend and I both have this phone. Both rooted. He added a JB rom and I am on the stock Touchwiz rom. We have been trying to send stuff and only thing that goes is a contact. If I open Quickpic and select a photo to send to him, it takes him to the Play Store where it wants him to install Quickpic. If I try to send a song it appears to be uploading on my phone and does nothing on his. He tries to send a photo or .mp3 to me and he gets an error that my device does not support large file transfer via NFC or something.
I did a search on Google and saw where it says photos and songs are able to be sent until JB. If that's the case, how is Samsung advertising this feature and it doesn't work on what's currently available.
If I am doing something wrong...please advise.
Probably because the Samsung software isn't on the JB rom your friend installed (sbeam).

Well, I was able to bump him a contact, so wouldn't that say it is?

Nah. The s3 only wants to send files with Sbeam. Don't ask me why I'm not an expert, maybe someone has a work around but I wasn't about to send files between my S3 and nexus via nfc

Hey everyone hoping to get some insight on this issue. I have cm10 M2 on my s3 and my wife has a stock s3. We tried beaming pics both ways with her initiating it or myself. When she goes first it takes me to the play store with a not found response. When I try to send a pic on my phone it says that the other phone can't receive large files. Once it took her s3 to allshare cast but she doesn't have a samsung account. So is it a known issue that aosp roms can't beam to stock s3's? Its a feature I can see us using a lot but I'm not a fan of touchwiz and went the modded route while she won't let me mod her phone. Thanks in advance!
Android Beam should work fine.. S Beam will not though as it's Touchwiz only..

I see what you mean now. I tried to send a youtube video and it worked fine. Same for browser site. I guess pics are out the question. So new question, can I beam photos with say a galaxy nexus? I'm just trying to figure out what's causing this limitation.
I see now. The jellybean update added the ability to send pics and vids while on stock s3 s beam takes care of that using wifi direct.

Exactly! And to answer your other question, yes you can. My roommate has a Galaxy Nexus and we beam frequently.

Found out today that you can't send nfc photos if you phone has modified title. Nothing crazy but just info. You'll have to use the no trip way to flash and modify your device if this is something you want to do.

I don't think the status showing modified has anything to do with that. My status shows modified, but I can send photos and stuff through NFC with no issues at all. Maybe something got messed up when you rooted?

I was able to send via NFC...Sbeam with a modified status. Look for a thread I started in q&a "NFC contact broke?" Maybe your phone has the same problem?

Simple question, how are you sharing videos from your GS3? I can't email them as they are to big, can't mms them. So now what?
We made a small 11 second video, albeit 1080p - and it is about 25mb. Gmail limit is 10mb.
I'm guessing upload to a sharing service and share the link? Which I've never done. Can anyone help?

I upload them all to YouTube but make them private and viewable only if given the link (so weirdos aren't watching videos of my niece or cousins and such) this allows them to be uploaded at full HD and a general site that most can access without issue.

I use dropsend but its limited. Use it to send files up to 2gb. But for smaller files or any other files, I use sugar sync. It's like drop box but with more features. Upload and just send a link to the file to anyone

I assume you are referring to S Beam. Having never used it yet, how long do you have to hold them together ? I mean, a playlist, couple of pictures, I'm sure that's a pretty quick transfer. But say a good size movie, around 100mb or so? Do they have to remain in close proximity or do they link somehow after that initial contact? Having never used it as I said, I'm just curious. Would love to hear from people who have.
I think the NFC just turns on Bluetooth for both devices and connects then sends. No need to hold them together.

Using S beam and a WiFi connection should take you no more than 2 minutes to transfer 200mb.
1) connect your devices to you WiFi.
2) turn on S beam on both.
3) locate the file to transfer.
4) bump the phones and wait for the beep.
5) tap the file and place the phones side by side as they don't need to be touching back.
6) bring the notification bar down and see how the file gets transfer.
I always use this method to transfer HD videos and lots of photos to my girls Note2. I think using WiFi makes the transfer faster than w/o.
This guy is transferring 200+ me video.

Is there a automated way to upload a HD video to a service and send the link to someone with a single action?

Have the phone automatically upload your videos Dropbox, then just send the link to whomever once the video is up.
One click if it is a known contact otherwise you have to enter their email.

I know this is a really old thread but incase it helps anyone, Android finally has a new app just to for this purpose. And its free
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-playbak-share-video-easy-t2987858
I use youtube set to private if it is for me or use mega.co.nz if I am giving the link out.
I will try playback, I've been using drop box.
Thanks for contributing, nice to see more current solutions to all problems!
I was trying to start up a content transfer with someone else's phone. I used an HTC One and they had Samsung Galaxy S3s. It would show the touch to transfer screen and it would just open the playstore to an item which didn't exist. It doesn't matter what they tried to transfer.

From what I understand its just a frontend for NFC which the phone does have. All I've done is selected the content I wanted to move and tap phones..

Did you enable nfc in settings, mine wasn't cut on by default. I had to go and cut it on.

It wouldn't send me the little note to send off / receive without it on. Issue is, every time I receive something, it just shows up as a Google Play Link. When I try to send something, it just stops after I touch to beam.
I'm not sure what it is then, mines working fine(a little finnicky at times but fine).

My buddy has an S3 and I have the One, and in order for it to register I had to hold my phone about as low as his camera, but it worked like a charm. Then again, I sent him a few contacts and some pics for jokes.
Wife and I have GS3 and ONE, we send pics back and forth all the time.

You can NOT send playstore apks via NFC, it will always show a playstore link, this is to prevent sharing of paid apps.

No, not playstore apps or links. For example, friends on GS3 with gallery app opened to send a link. It just constantly wants to open a nonexistent item in the playstore. Sorry if I am unclear. I am thankful for all the help thus far.
Might have something to do with Samsung galaxy s phones. I can have my gallery open to a picture and nfc transfer it to a gnex and vice versa

Thanks. I think I actually figured it out. Anyone else wondering, anyone with Samsung phones transferring to the HTC One, the Samsung user needs to turn of their S Beam, because it tries to use the Samsung branded gallery app to transfer pictures.

Hey, I'm looking for the latest version of the Samsung Hub app. According to Google Play, it's version 14021802.1.30.01 on 3/5/14. I'm running an international ROM and Google Play won't let me download it. Strange because the app was already in the ROM. Thanks.

Okay, the saga continues. I installed this version but it still says version 14011301.1.30.01 in the app... I've been working with Samsung on an issue where I cannot sign into the video portion of the hub. I simply get a error message that says "failed to sign in". I have a couple of movies that I bought from there, but I can't access them because it won't let me sign in. Books, music, and games work fine.
Their suggestion was to download the Samsung Hub from Google Play, which I can't do. I switched to a US based ROM, and it still won't let me download it... Not sure what to do here. I have a friend who has a completely stock T-Mobile Note 3, and they can't download it either. Same on my wife's S4...
