My friend just got a lumia 920 (#jealous) and we have been able to trade web pages and contacts via NFC, but we have also read that files are off limits for trading. Do you guys know of any hacks or work arounds for this? If not, will we ever be able to trade files via NFC?

My bad, im on the app and I thought I clicked the Q and A section

My guess would be you would need to find a file manager that allows you to send the files... but then again, NFC can't possibly be that useful for sharing files more than a MB or two. You'd have to keep the phones very close for an extended period of time to transfer it.
What about looking for an app similar to S-Beam that uses WiFi direct or Bluetooth to transfer the files (S-Beam is a Samsung exclusive and only uses NFC to establish the connection between the two phones and sends the files via an alternate method).
File Expert (Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=xcxin.filexpert&feature=nav_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDNd ) seems capable of this, but I don't know how it would work with a nondroid.
Thats mainly it. Its hard to find similarities among different OSs.

The legacy devices don't appear on tapatalk since they don't show on the main forum "list" it sees
Probably beyond the scope of this thread, but why split them out? The way they are now guarantees a faster decline as they are hard to find. Perhaps move them into a large discussion forum (Legacy Devices), with them still arranged into sub-forums. That way they don't clutter up the newer forums, but still are accessible via the app.
I just have a couple of dumb questions.
Do the motions being active consume battery?
Do I have to engage anything before tapping my screen to send a file to another phone? (or is having that check box enabled1 enough?) also is the Galaxys3 the only phone compatible with that feature?
The commercial where the guy just swoops a document from his phone to the tv... What's the process for that and I imagine it only works with certain tvs after an annoying registration /setup process.
Are they working on improving svoice or is that not a huge priority
Is there a voice dialer like on froyo that doesn't require the internet to do phone functions? I don't like relying on 3g.
I'm sure I'll think of more, but I apologize if this is in the wrong thread. Please just let me know and I'll copy paste to the right one.

You have to turn on NFC and s beam then go to gallery or something to the file you want then put the phone back to back and then then phone will say touch screen to beam
You can get Google now with the offline pack. Its in the themed and app section
We don't really know what Samsung's priority are. With Google now out we can only hope Samsung trys to stepup their game

Oh ok thanks. And 1 was actually about whether or not the motions being in burnt up battery life. I'd still love to know.

Yes motions can cause battery drain.

Well dangbi like motions. I'll turn most of em off but there's a couple I love so ill just live with it. As for Google now, I cannot find it in the themes and apps section.... Direct link?

Haven't seen this posted here so if I missed it, let me know please.
The original dev for this app no longer supports it but it has since been picked back up by another.
Itll basically allow you to wirelessly transfer files between your phone and computer. Uses it works for both internal and external sdcards!
Go here to download:

Original project page here (no longer supported):
http://code.google.com/p/swiftp/
Makes things just a little simpler! Enjoy!
All credits go to both original and current devs.

Another app that does this well is samba

Yeah, I figured there would be other apps. Ive been using this for some time without fail and since itd not in the Play Store I figured I'd share.
Thanks for the extra option though!

Swi_FTP works on Android 7.1.2.
Swi_FTP 1.24 is eternally alive and only has 76.6 KB.
Works flawlessly on Android 7.1.2!
The successor to Swi_FTP is the now free FTP Server application, but swollen to 2000 KB.
It is a pity that this thread is remote from the main stream of information from XDA.
Yesterday, my friend and I tried to share some music using SBeam, or Android Beam, whatever it's called. I opened up Poweramp, went to the song, and tried to beam it, but that just sent him the app itself. I tried again by opening Solid Explorer and going to the actual folders themselves, but that just beamed the app itself. I then tried using the My Files app Samsung included, but that wouldn't even let us beam anything. We tried the Play Music app too, but that wouldn't beam anything either.
Am I just doing this wrong, or what's going on?

What's your method of selecting the files? Do you look for the files, long press, and and share with S-Beam? That's how I always do it and it's always worked.

Settings-more settings -nearby devices- check file sharing

Hey everyone,
Just wondering if I could get some suggestions on good wifi file transfer apps - like my last Samsung I can't for the life of me get this phone to be recognized by Windows. I am rooting and running the awesome Kang AOKP ROM.
WiFi File Explorer is having trouble moving files around - I keep getting network errors on my failed downloads in Chrome on my PC.
Any other more stable app suggestions?
I still can't connect mine either haha
I use Air droid from the market..free and works awesome

I find ES explorer to do pretty much anything I need. Wifi, samba, bluetooth, wifi direct. Also free in the market, and allows root access (su permitting)

Tips for a pleasant XDA:
Search before asking. Someone has likely already asked.
Spell your words completely, and use punctuation. It confuses people when you use "u" and "ur" and "dat", or when you wrongly use "there/their/they're/your/you're".
Be nice. Don't be rude, just move on to another post without leaving a comment. We are not 7 years old.
And PLEASE, do not ask for the "best" anything. We all have our preferences.
Thanks for the suggestions I will check them both out... I already have ES but didn't configure any servers on it. I am having luck with WiFiDroid- another freebee

yeah they are all similar. I find airdroid very fast.. i transfer a 1.4 gig file in about 5 min.

ES Filexplorer is the best.
GUI gets a little wierd at times but it has so many features it can do what your asking.
I actually just discovered pushbullet today it allows for file, picture, text, etc to be pushed from Chrome, or any Android device to another. It even lets you push them to friends phones who have the app as well
