S Beam - Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II

Having a hard time getting sbeam working. We turned off wifi. Touch the devices and it makes a beep and says touch here to send. I touch it and the phone vibrates but nothing transfers.

what kind of phone does your friend have?

What are you trying to transfer? If it's a video file, I am pretty sure you have to be viewing it from the stock video player app.

Its actually better to leave wifi on. S beam defaults to wifi direct to send it. I recommend you add your friends device to your wifi direct, if not the device will attempt to send thru Blue tooth and it takes forever.

The whole point is this feature is to be able to share with random strangers without contact information. I was trying both pictures and videos. She has a SG3. I couldn't get anything from my phone to send to hers and she couldn't get anything from her's to send to mines. We were using the stock gallery.

T-mobile can't receive or send mms on WiFi

Why can't I receive or send mms when WiFi is connected. I didn't have this issue on sprint. It sucks cause I have to turn off WiFi and then it has to connect to edge then eventually on 4g before i can get or send my mms quicker. I have to use WiFi a lot on this device so I don't go over my cap so I need to have WiFi on at home and work. Very frustrating.

This happens on and off on my Amaze. I just think it doesnt work that well in general with tmo
My wife can't download mms on WiFi with at&t
I have the same problem with Verizon.
MMS are the texts with data right? Yeah I noticed I can't send with just wifi.
Normal text are fine.
AT&T btw for the XDA app users.
Edit: I noticed you said at all when I reread it. I can send em fine with wifi enabled but I have to have mobile network enabled as well.
Maybe this is more common than i thought.
MultiMediaMessages needs your data access to send. WiFi will not work.

You youre right that it does need data but I think what its supposed to do is switch to mobile network real quick and send/receive then revert back to wifi. The issue is its not doing this on my Tmobile s3.
Edit: Ran a few more test. Had my gf send me 2 mms while I was on wifi and I was able to recieve 1. But other I couldnt receive. It may have something to do with my data connection as I get 50% edge. I have a feeling that when its on edge while wifi is on that it cant DL the mms but on 4g while wifi is on it will work. I need to run a test outdoor where I get full 4g but still connect to wifi.
Same issue here, on simple mobile, I will assume is GS3 MMS bug and when you do receive MMS, it's pretty small
Just use gmail.
People really need to start using email in lieu of mms, the pictures don't get distorted, it sends/receives faster, handles much larger files
I don't know why people even use mms anymore. Everything should be done in email.

Life is about choices, you like email and others prefer MMS, we are using GS3 & others prefer what they like. Email, MMS, WhatsApp, ChatOn etc is matter of preference

Yes, you're right. Life is about choices.
Just like people can "choose" to drive 3,000 miles instead of taking a flight. Or they can "choose" to ship via snail mail instead of UPS.
Doesn't mean their choices and/or preferences aren't ineffective or moronic, or that people want to hear them whine about the "choices" they make.
Aside from that, it doesn't look like it's a "choice" on Wifi. So you can choose to send an email and be done with it, or choose to whine and stomp your feet on xda which has virtually no effect on the situation other than rounding up other whiners.
It's like people complaining about using Blu-Ray and complaining they can't stream VHS to their phone
You can send and receive mms on wifi. I have done it. No data.

WiFi SMS &/or MMS Apps

I'm interested in people with direct experience using apps on the N7 that enable text messaging over a WiFi connection. I'm interested in ones that truly allow you to send & receive messages to/from cell phones - not ones dependant upon email (as I believe gtalk is).
PS - The UI has to be easy to use, as this is getting setup on an N7 for my Father-in-Law - and he's 62.

Only app I use is tablet talk. You can connect via WiFi or Bluetooth. It can send and receive MMS also. It is the best app I have used. I use it daily. It is $2.99 I believe but well worth the price.

Really? I've always thought there were apps available that allowed true WiFi messaging. Some of the ones I've been looking at are:
HeyWire
textPlus
Talkatone
In the reading I've done so far, these all seem to be apps that allow one to do what I'm aiming for. I started this topic thread to see if anyone on the N7 has either direct experience with any of these, or any other apps that are similar in function/purpose.
You're saying that even these require a phone to be tethered through WiFi, or BT though?

This is not true. CLOUD SMS is an app that does not require blue tooth, or for the phone and tablet to be connected to the same Wifi. It is simple to use, your phone can be on data, or wifi(doesn't have to be same location), and you can send and receive from phone or tab. It cost 99 cents in the play store. I've followed it through the beta process here on xda and I would highly recommend it.

Thanks for the quick reply. I looked this app up and read about it. This app looks like it does require a tethered phone. Is that true in your experience with it, or is there a way to use it independently of a phone?

The OP is talking about texting from a tablet over WiFi with no phone at all.
Can't be done, texts are sent over mobile data and not WiFi.
Google voice may be able to do it, but not sure.

Google Voice is an interesting angle to try. I wonder if it'd be over his head though. Thanks for that suggestion, I'll look into that one and see what it's capable of.

Doesn't tablet talk require that you be on the same wifi with both the phone and tablet, or be connected by bluetooth? Cloud SMS does not require either of these, my phone can be at home and my tablet can be at work connected to wifi, this is a fact, I use it every day. If I'm wrong about Tablet Talk requirements(haven't used it several months) then I apologize. I may have misunderstood the question, but the information I provided, in response to your comment that the phone and tablet have to be near each other, was correct. But your "tone" is both unnecessary and not appreciated. I was just trying to provide info on an app that I am familiar with. I'm not sure what your problem is.

I use Verizon messages on mine. It is Dependant on having a Verizon smartphone and being on the same wifi, but works like a charm for me. Let's you send and receive SMS amend MMS and pretty much anything your phone can do and doesn't require a separate plan for the tablet

Mighty Text let's you send texts through your phone using your pc. I am using the beta for nexus 7, so when I get a text on my Optimus G, I get a notification on my Nexus 7 and have the ability to respond to the text using the tablet, and no need to use the telephone. As far as the texter goes, they think you are texting from your phone. Even better, anything you do on the tablet shows up in your telephone's text app. Mighty Text also allows you to keep a history of the text. I hope this helps.

This is correct. I use Cloud SMS everyday. I hate connecting my phone to wifi, but it still uses the phones mobile data to send the sms through the internet to my wifi tablet. Also when im away from home, i tether them together and it also works perfectly like that as well. I hate taking my phone out of my pocket while im on my tablet, this way I never have to.

It's less expensive. I don't know for tablet talk but the Dev of cloud SMS is super fast to respond and to add features. You can find his thread on xda.
Also it s not possible without phone. Maybe with a 3g model and the sms app? Not even sure it will work...
Why not just set up a Google phone# and side load whatsApp? I have it on my n7 linked to my Google voice number. No problems. No needed to target to phone or data. True wifi sms ... And free.
The setup is the hard part...Very easy after that.

Mysms is a great tool! It can send sms over your phone and gets synched automatically. It even supports "internal" (free) messages from mysms-users and group chats (since yesterday). Very nice tool!

Yea Google voice lets you text via the tablet independent of or phone. You can even pay a one time fee of 20 dollars to import or existing phone number but if not just download the app on or tab and or good to go. And you can download the app on or phone if you want to text through that away from ur tablet

I guess the ultimate solution would be to port your number to google voice. You would never have to worry about that again.
1. Get text messages and send text messages from your email, google voice on your tablet or computer in real time and all text messages are free.
2. In a couple of clicks reroute all your calls to whatever phone is nearby. Or do what I do and ring my desk phone and my cell phone at the same time. You can also use a OBI100 to have a home phone line with google voice if you want and no carrier minutes are used.
3. Your number is yours forever. Never have to port it again. Switching carriers is fast and easy.

This seems to be the only real ANDROID remote access app, allowing you to control your ANDROID phone from your computer, not the other way around. It can be a little finicky, but it is extremely full featured and well worth paying for. Now if I understand correctly you left your phone at home, theres not really a way to get into it without first installing and setting up this app. You could install it through the web play store, but you have to set it up for it to work.
Well, might as well set it up when you get back to your phone so you can have it next time!

Help me with my Galaxy S3

My wife and I have Galaxy S3's on Sprint's crappy network. Uptill yesterday in are messaging folder we would have orange and green dots by our names. Orange for when you are off your phone and green when you were on it. As of know there are no dots ay all. Any idea's
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium
The dots where for Gtalk when you where logged into gtalk. It would be represented on the messaging app so if you wanted to chat or video via gtalk. Gtalk was replaced by Hangout which is the new chat/video app for Google.
Transmitted with a portable device using Xparent Blue Tapatalk 2
Here's the thing is we never used Gtalk in the past, so I couldnt tell you if we were ever logged in or not. We have updated to that Google Hangout, I have tried logging into to it to see if I dot was replaced on my wifes phone and its not, so I'm kinda confused....Anybody have any ideas?

No hangout does not have that feature so you will never see them again, unless Google incorporates into hangout or you might see a different thing. Your phone would have automatically logged you into gtalk once you signed on your phone with your google account. If you did not go into gtalk manually and logged off you guys where always logged in.

What odd is my wife had it on Friday for like a few hours and then it dissappeared again, I should say I'm refering to the dot notification. Very bizarre, it was a nuce useful feature
