NFC problem - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

This only happens on my phone. If I send something to a friend its okay. BH it when they send me anything its for the play store and says item not found.
Not sure what's going on and I can't find a solution online

Thanks for any help

Some different variables i have for you that might be causing it....
1.Kernel.
2.Rom
3.The way you flashed it Clean/dirty
4.What device he has
5.if he/she fiddles around and has custom roms installed too then those variables above could be effecting their transfer of nfc
Hoped i helped buddy

thanks for the input man.
kernel is the underwear one. that comes with tasks rom
clean flashed
and stock s3 no mods on my friends phone
so it has to do with my phone

Try installing NFC Task Manager or another free NFC app from the Play Store. Sounds like your phone is looking for an app and can't find it, so it is deferring you to the market.

[Q] device not compatible with certain apps in market [SOLVED]

I've seen that certain apps in the market say that my device is not compatible with the app. I didn't really think twice about it until today I saw that Google maps is one of those apps. This wasn't the case earlier today.
Has anyone else been having this problem?
What do you think the problem is?

Solved - Reason for issue was due to my changing the DPI for enhanced resolution
I'd like some sort of answer to that too, my phone says that maps is compatible, but Youtube isn't. I tried clearing market data and cache on the off chance that something was goofy there, but it didn't help. It even says "incompatible" when I go to the web version of the market from my computer, and won't let me install.

K, i figured out the problem. Its because i changed the DPI in my build.prop in order to get a better resolution. I guess the apps are compatible with the resolution that i set it to, so it just says that its not compatible with my device.

Network errors means the search server is having issues or was shut down. Give it a few hours or a few days and see if it starts working again.
I've been getting it for a few days now. What music downoader is everyone using?

I have no idea m8y sorry.....did you get them from my source..?
The First/Top one..?
One suggestion if i may ..delete or rather uninstall any previous/older versions you have on your device first then do a clean install.!
I always delete old versions of anything before installing new ones, unless they have auto update..!
In my defence i must admit i have a pretty fair knowledge after a few years on IOS crapple...!!!!!
I have had my Devices a Samsung S3 phone and my Samsung Tab2 .10.1 wifi+3g for about 11 days...
So still getting to grips with all this Android stuff its very different from IOS.
OK..so try what i suggested and delete old versions first , restart Device and re-install the new versions..!
i have this version on both my Devices runnig nice and smooth.!
Hope it works for you.!:good:
Cheers..Andrew

Android device manager!

Hi guys,
Finally, android device manager is official now and you can track your device or erase the data if needed. Just Google it.

I have Cerberus installed already but I guess this might come in handy in case something happens and Cerberus is not working. It does not do all the things Cerberus does...like taking a picture.
Mine won't locate the device =( I do have everything setup correctly but it's constantly searching and location unavailable... it's same for all 3 of note 2 my family has, weird?
I'll just depend on Cerberus, plus it has more functions anyway.

Is automatically pushed to your phone . You'll find it in settings/security/device administrators then you have to activate it . Then just Google Android device manager to use the web interface to locate or ring you device.

We just don't get it. Old Xperia L could play it, but the S3 get's no love on the game for some reason,.
Its an issue with 4.3 on the S3 and I don't know why they haven't been able to fix it. I did get it to run a while back but had to install an older version that I knew worked because I used to run it
Yeah the older versions worked perfectly but the new one is not.

This new versions been out for a while. I dont think theyre doing a bug fix.
Ps: does anyone know how to disable the update notification in the old versions. i cant play with data/wifi on because it keep bugging me to update to the new version. it takes me to the market and as you know its "incompetible"
If enough people email the dev it might motivate them to fix it. Especially if everyone starts demanding refunds and leaving poor reviews. No guarantee of course, but its more guaranteed that nothing will happen if no one tries to make it happen!
In app manager most apps have a checkbox for display notifications. Maybe that'll help?

I have found a solution. I was browsing Samsung's galaxy app store and saw asphalt 8 being featured so I was like what the hay, so I installed it and it runs perfectly! Maybe they forgot to unblock the S3 from when it was having problems at Google play? Anyways give it a try!
