I have a rooted galaxy nexus with stock 4.2.1 and cwm. I've tried using beam with my wife's galaxy nexus which is bone stock and it doesn't work at all, I don't get any feedback and it doesn't vibrate. I know her NFC works because used her beam with a friend's galaxy s3. Strange enough my wife's galaxy nexus could send pictures and links from the play store and YouTube to my friend's phone but my friend's phone could send links to my wife's phone but not pictures. I also tried using beam with my phone and my friend's but I got the same result of nothing.I hope I didn't get a defective phone but does anyone know if there are any drivers I can try to fix this?
I forgot to mention that we are able to turn on NFC and beam on all the phones.
NFC is built into the battery. Switch batteries with her and see if the problem persists.

I'll try that. So if it's the battery would I have to get a new one or can it be fixed?
It's the battery. Thanks for the help.

Just curious to see how many people have chosen to leave their GN completely stock and who have decided to either flash a new kernel and/or ROM.
Why did you come to your decision?

Was a new thread really necessary? You could of asked this in your other thread.
The reason why I went off stock is because, well stock is good but it can be better. It's a nexus device and I prefer customizing it. Roms feature a bunch of unique addons to it. Read the rom post to see what they're about. I recommend Aokp and Franco's kernel.
And yes they do help your battery life significantly

I moved to a Galaxy Nexus from an iPhone 4S so battery life was never a problem on this device lol

Some people say otherwise but it's most likely LTE users. But you can't complain if something software side will give you extra battery life
Hi all,
I am planning to buy a Galaxy note 2 64gb when ever its released In Australia.
I also currently have a Nexus 7.
My qustion is, will I be able to use the nfc transfer feature (where you can tap the devices together to transfer photos etc) with my n7 and n2, like you can with the note 2 and galaxy s3, or nexus 7 and galaxy nexus.
Thanks in advance
Cheers
Corey

If I have to guess I would say. For what I remember it was the purpose of android beam. Now I may be wrong as until now I only tried and made it work with Samsung devices. I included a screenshot of the NFC option of my NOTE2. I hope it will help

I've got a Note 2 and N7, but I cant seem to get NFC to transfer files.
It seems to be a problem between Samsung S-beam and whatever the N7 uses.
If I try and send a photo from the Note 2, the N7 opens up the Play store and says "item not found"
If I try and share a web page, the browser will open on the other device, but it wont go to the page.

I have both note 2 and nexus 7 and android beam works fine and speed is also not that bad.

I'm having similar issues as well. I have a Galaxy Nexus and my friend recently bought a Note 2, we tried sending each other pictures but either the Beam would fail or like the person a few posts above mine, it would open up in the Play Store with 'item not found' message.

Actually I have galaxy s3 and nexuse device and I tried to use the NFC between the device. It doesn't support each other. But I don't know about the nexuse 7

Note 2 and Nexus 7 transfer successful
I have a Galaxy Note 2 and a Nexus 7. I was able to successfully send images from my phone to my tablet. Since they both have NFC this is possible. The trick here is to turn OFF the S Beam on the phone so that only the NFC is active on the phone (and NFC active on the tablet, of course).
Settings>>More Settings>>NFC (ON) - S Beam (OFF)
Anybody know why CM10 stable for Galaxy Nexus Verizon is exist but for Sprint version no? Seems that it is a little bit strange

This thread was 2 weeks old and definitely not in need of a bump. In fact it serves absolutely no purpose now and should've been left dead.
I am a bit confused. Saw the specs on some of the websites and some indicated that Galaxy nexus has WiFi direct whereas some indicated that it doesn't. Although I found WiFi direct settings in the settings menu, I am unsure how to use it. I mean, after connecting the galaxy Nexus to my laptop through WiFi direct, I can't find an option to share files through it. Please can someone help me out. Am I missing something?

I think this only works phone to phone. Like another phone with WiFi direct.

Hello, I am also very interested to find out how WiFi direct works. I have tried phone to phone connection as insuusvenerati suggested but it did not seem to work.

I forgot to mention that when I tried WiFi direct on my galaxy S2 and Note, it gave me a option to send files through WiFi direct in gallery and it worked flawlessly but on galaxy nexus neither does it gives me an option to send file through WiFi direct nor it is able to receive file from the other end.

So I have been struggling with this for a while but now have a solution. Our Galaxy Nexus has the capability to use it but you need an app to get it going for large files. URLs and small items will work, but pictures, videos and files need more.
WiFi Direct on the Galaxy Note and Galaxy S III uses NFC to establish the connection, but WiFi to send the material. On the Galaxy Nexus, it uses Bluetooth.
There is a WiFi direct app in the app store that you need to install to be able to send large files between the Galaxy Nexus and Galaxy Note or Galaxy S IIIs.
You really have to fiddle around with it to get it to work but once it does, you can send videos and stuff from your Galaxy Nexus to a Galaxy Note or a Galaxy S III. Also, as far as I know, you have to have the app on BOTH devices.

I was hoping someone can show me a pic of the charger that comes with the sprint version of the GS3. I am selling one for a friend but it doesn't have a charger and I wanna see what they look like and try to find one.

Also note that any GS3 data cable can plug into one of those USB to 120V adaptors.
