NFC Transfer with note 2 and Nexus 7

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)

Who got rid of thier tablet

Ever since I got the note 2 I haven't been using my tf700
Decided to put it on xda marketplace.
Seems this note 2 is more practical to carry around.
Who else is dumping thier tablet?

That was the main reason I wanted the Note was to replace the iPad. It is working perfectly in that role!

Sold my Nexus 7. The Note 2 is a mini tablet with 3g/LTE without having to pay sprint any more unnecessary monthly fees. :good:

Your guys statements are the exact reason I'm gonna be getting a GN2 in the next week. I already set up my Flyer for the kiddos. Not worth selling it for next to nothing.

i'm actually looking to pick up a new tablet in a few minutes. wanting to replace my 8.9 sammy and may get the nook hd+. still have my note 10.1 and giving my ipad2 to my daughter. archos 101 is sitting on the shelf unused. i'll probably just give that to someone at work or sell it cheaply.

Just sold my N7

I haven't touched my A500 at work since I got my Note 2. I only ever used my tablet at work and now I don't even use it here.
Guess my sister's wish for a simple tablet will be fulfilled this X-Mas!

I sold my Kindle
My Note 2 just took over lol
I barley even use my laptop any more

Gave the N7 to the wife along with my old G2. Good combo for her since she doesn't want to lug around a sizeable Phablet. I love the note 2, good fit for my needs.

Is anyone using their Note 2 in lieu of a tablet?

I need to upgrade both my old Android tablet and phone and am seriously considering getting the note 2 rather than 2 separate devices. I'm wondering if anyone who has the Note 2 finds they're using it exclusively rather than in conjunction with a tablet. I was an early Android tablet adopter, getting my tablet before buying an Android smartphone. At first, I'd take my tablet with me and use it at WIFI hotspots. I now find that I just use my tablet at home. The idea of a phablet is intriguing, but I wonder if any of you with a Note 2 find that you still need your tablets. TIA.

I probably would, but I do still use my Nexus 7, and use my phone as a hot spot.

I tested the waters with a TouchPad last year. Now its for the kids, and I use only my Note. I was already headed that way, but the Note finished that transition. Outside of work I have only used a computer once in the last month: to root my Note II.

Im using my note 2 for nearly everything now. I have the p1000 and an acer a501 and don't use either much. Except for maybe the odd movie on my acer a501 and ebay.
I love this phablet and very happy with it.
Hope that answers your questions.

One device, can't go wrong.
When Samsung says it's the best of both worlds they weren't lying. I can't wait to get mine for Christmas. I had to be pulled out of the AT&T store because I wanted to play with the phone all day. Definitely can be used as a tablet replacement, but only if you already have a computer.

Sold my SG3 to move on to the Note 2, I love my Note, but still find my self using my Galaxy Tab 10.1 , just not as much. I use the Note when
Im out and about and use the tablet at home. But if I did not already have the tablet I would have no issues just using my Note

I've pretty much stopped using my iPad 3 completely since getting the Note 2. Really is the best of both worlds.

Obviously the Note 2 wouldn't be able to completely push away my Transformer Prime with it's keyboard, ports and additional screen size, but any thoughts of wanting a Nexus 7 disappeared once I had the Note 2 in my hands.

Original iPad only gets used by my wife and kids now, I almost never use it, honestly could live without it now.

The Note II is an AWESOME device and in many ways is faster and smoother than my Asus TF300 (w/ dock). Even so I still prefer to do certain things on my Tablet with it larger screen.
Now if I didn't have a tablet I could get by with my Note II (though I'm looking forward to seeing what the Next Note 10.1 has to offer).

Actually, after falling in love with the screen real estate of the Note 2, I purchased a Nexus 10 and now tether from my Note 2 to my nexus 10

Yes don't use tablets anymore.

I purchased the Note 2 for this exact reason. I wanted a tablet and a new phone and I decided just go with the Note 2. I just ordered it today and it on back order. I will let you know how it works out once it comes in.

Have a ipad1 and ipad3 and a iphone 4s. Dont really touch them at all anymore. I got the note2 because my ipad one is pretty much obsolete and I travel 2 weeks a month for work so its a perfect fit for me.

Give ur suggestions about which is the best phone to have with the note 2?

What? The Samsung Galaxy Note 2 IS the best smart phone of 2012.

I mean to ask the 2nd phone to have with the note 2.I already have the note 2 and i want to buy a 2nd phone along with my note 2.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium

Well, to be honest I don't see the necessity of having two Android phones especially when you hold the top Android phone already in your hands. Buy a cheap phone for calls/text if that is your case. Buy an iPhone 5 to get the best of both worlds. Lol. HTC J Butterfly is a competition for the Note 2. Droid Razr Maxx HD for the greatest mAh battery for a phone.

Motorola razr m would be a good choice if something more portable is on ur mind..

iPhone 4s then. Will be cheap by now. But still no jailbreak though. Waiting for one on my iPad 3

Lumia 800 is dirt cheap now on payg. I might have to get one for times it would be dangerous to carry the note 2 and give me somewhere to put my 2nd sim. If only we had proper Google voice in the UK.

Im personally thinking of getting a nexus 4. (if they ever become available ) i know my note 2 is the best in a lot of ways but i can never have just one phone for extended periods of time. I think the smaller size and stock Android is a great second phone, especially if you don't like rooting and romming.

I used my note II along with a HTC One X and thought it was a great companion phone. Only thing that bothered me was the standby time of the HoX being around 4 days with an hr of screen time.

I also use an htc one x and the note 2 together. Great combination because you get the bad ass screen of the one x and the functionality of the note 2. Plus i just wifi tether to my one x to save me having a second sin card

Along with Note 2 an iPhone 5 is the best option. I'm using both of them and I'm so happy.

Nexus 7 makes sense despite having 5 inch smartphone like g2 or s4?

I have a Galaxy S4 and finally broke down and bought the Nexus 7 last week. Just love it. I can now actually read all the pdf files I need for work without massively squinting. It's an excellent size, fast, and no stinking bloatware.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 4

I thought the same thing until I started to realize that for quick browsing and media consumption, a tablet is more convenient and battery efficient (I have the wifi N7) than either a smartphone or laptop (and I own both, with the S3 as the phone). Plus, if I want to bring the bigger screen out and about with me, it's so easy to do so.

I use my 7 tethered to my 5 to browse. Its a good solution to saving battery on the 5 because the screen isn't being used. I can browse for hours on the 7 and still have over 60% battery on the 5 before my day is over.

I have a Note 3 and still love my Nexus 7. My N7 is used mostly for games and web when I'm at home. My kids use it when I let them (they have to earn it) so its nice to not let them use my phone. There is definitely a difference when using a Note 3 and N7. Though the phone has a large screen, I still love my N7.
Its also nice to have a 2nd device if one is charging or has a dead battery.
The only thing I wish my N7 had was a pen like the Note 3. I bought my Nexus 7 before the Galaxy Note 8 came out and would probably still buy the Nexus 7 because of the price. Normal capacitive styluses just aren't as good as the S-Pen.

I have a note 2 and have tether on 24/7 w/ my N7 2013 now. I read everything on the N7 and don't really do all that much on the Note2 except quick texts (even though I text through the N7 as well using google voice).
I'm kind of thinking that I now want a very slim candybar like HD screen phone about 2.5 - 3.5 inches that is primarily for HD videos (like youtube) and phone calls. I use voice dictation so I don't care all that much for keyboard size...

I have a Note 2 and the 1st Gen Nexus 7 (until later today) and I like the combo. At home or in a cafe, I use the Nexus 7.
If I'm out running errands I will take the phone. The 5" size means I don't feel the need to take my Nexus 7 everywhere, and the 5 inches is very usable for anything I'm likely to do when out and about.

I have a galaxy note and a N7, I intend to sell the note and go for something a little smaller like the Moto G as all the note is used for now is quick browsing when out and about and calls and texts, and lastly as an mp3 player when walking. I keep the N7 in the car for anything else when I am out and about.
