Tried using NFC for first time ever between my GNex and Nexus 7 and nothing would transmit. I originally had the VZW Extended battery in, but put in the original to see if that was the cause. Nothing, still no transmission. Is is possible the NFC is defective? Seems odd since it's in the battery.
I am running franco kernel 220 384mhz and Vicious Jelly Bean v1.1 for what it's worth. I really wanna see NFC in action, is it the kernel?
Is NFC enabled on both devices?
Yeah, Android Beam as well

For me beaming Images from Galaxy Nexus to Nexus S works, but not the other way round.
And beaming videos didn't work at all, i believe.
This is with stock Jelly Bean 4.1.1 on each device. I don't think this is a hardware problem.
Yeah it's hard for me to tell if it's possibly always been defective since I've literally never tried using NFC until I tried messing with it with my Nexus 7 out of boredom, so not sure if it was cool on 4.0 and 4.1 is the problem or what. :\
Beaming "big" files (other than YT links or so) requires Bluetooth to be enabled on both devices. NFC makes the pairing process easy but the transfer itself is handled by Bluetooth...
It's quite unlikely that it is broken in both batteries. Have you tried a different ROM or wiping? If it's still happening, it's more likely that it is broken on the Nexus 7 than the Gnex
Is there a way to test the Nexus 7 nfc?

Looks like device placement was the problem, it's working now.

The NFC isn't in the battery, only the antenna... the chip is internal
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.

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)
I have never had a non-Nexus device. Nexus One, GSM Galaxy Nexus (great phone), and now Nexus 4.
The Nexus 4's battery just plain sucks. That's why I'm thinking of coming over to the Note 2. At least the galaxy nexus let me carry a spare battery I could pop in whenever I needed.
Anyways, my question is, what are the more subtle differences you've noticed, and perhaps you miss from the Nexus? I'm not talking about the obvious stuff like battery life, screen size, s-pen...
One thing I can think of is that I heard light flow doesn't properly work with the Note 2 or the S3. I rely on that app at work a lot to tell me what kind of notifications I'm getting.
Are there other things that you miss from the Nexus, or that you found pleasantly surprising on the Note 2?
I have a galaxy nexus on Verizon. And my note 2 att. I don't miss too much from the nexus. The bloat ware being the largest difference in my eyes. There is so many programs running in the background on this note. You just dont get that on a nexus.
Since I can root my note I have no complaints.
I use my nexus now just for the 4g lte free tethering and phone calls.

I just sold my Nexus 4 the other week because of the poor battery life and build quality. I loved the glass panels but I was always worried about cracking either side. I now have the Note 2 and I can't say that I miss much from the Nexus 4. It is made of plastic, but it is very durable. You can run AOSP ROMs on the Note 2 without many bugs and still get considerably better battery life than the Nexus 4. I have yet to touch a charger at all during the day with my new Note 2, unlike my Nexus 4 that I was always charging. And I consider myself a moderate-heavy user.
I am much more satisfied with the Note 2 than my Nexus 4.

I miss the fact that I would have had the latest updates and best dev support for 1+ years. Otherwise, like everyone else said not much. Certainly a better feeling device, but the note 2 isn't bad.

You can thank Verizon solely for That, and for being the main reason the nexus 4 won't ever be on CDMA.

I'd say no, and personally I hope not. Verizon is the root of all cellular evil. Sprint and T-Mobile seem like the only ones trying not bending Google over.

I had the Nexus 4 for two weeks then moved to a T889.
I actually really liked the Nexus 4's screen -- sure it seemed washed out in comparison but it was very easy to look at for long periods of time. The screen was also incredibly smooth in terms of surface roughness -- your fingers glided so easily over it it seemed like a shame to put a screen protector on.
My Nexus 4's battery was only "okay" after installing franco kernel, disabling logging and setting max processor speed to 1GHz.
The Nexus 4 felt noticeably snappier than the Note 2 in terms of UI but that's probably due to TouchWiz on the latter.
The Nexus 4 was comically easy to operate with one hand in comparison.
I traded my n4 for note 2. Don't miss anything. I was totally let down by Google and LG. No usb host. No mhl. No sdcard. Pathetic excuse for a Nexus branded device. Plus I miss the amoled tech since I remember my s2

The only thing I'll miss from my nexus 4 is the pure stock experience. I actually liked my Galaxy nexus more. Any one else thinking of switching to the note 2 keep in mind that the camera on the note is way better.

Sold mine and couldn't be happier. I didn't care for the Nexus 4 pretty much at all. Sure it was fast but the screen felt tiny, the phone felt cheap, the screen is AWFUL (imo), and the battery life was wretched. I really didn't like anything about the phone except for the speed and maybe call quality.
I sold my Nexus 4 and went back to the Lumia for a bit first, then purchased the Note II. Love the Note II, it brought me the happiness I was hoping for with the N4 and then some.
I switched from the nexus 4 and 7 sold both of them and bought the note 2. Dont regret a thing. So what if I dont have the latest software. The note 2 is awsome its software is great and once mine gets 4.1.2. With multiwindow there is nothing more I will need. This phablet is truly the best of both worlds and it will hold me over till the note 3 arrives

Have my N4 on craigslist right now. It is a great phone but I love the Note 2. I swiched back and fourth a bit but I just prefer the notes screen and LTE when I am on a trip to a city that has it.

First off that doesn't even boot on the N4 at the time of this post. Once they get it to boot, they likely have a lot of work for them. On other devices, getting it to boot is often the easy part. Getting radios (wifi, bluetooth, 3g/4g...etc), audio, vibration, certain applications....and whatever else that may not function to work is a different story. I am not sure what device they are using as their base, but it is also possible they will have to do some work with the fact that the N4 has a resolution no HTC device has (I believe they are all 1280x720 or 1980x1080).
This is completely ignoring the fact that even if get it working on the N4, that it would mean very little for Galaxy Nexus users.
if anyone interested, here is a similar sense 5 launcher exist on playstore for android 4.1+ ..

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.

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.
