What features that other people talk about do you NEVER use? - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

I've not once, ever, used NFC. I guess I never saw the point when I could just assign a widget or navkey to accomplish the same task.

Used it at McDonalds at time or two.

Nfc, air gesture, screen mirroring, WiFi connect and all the Samsung stuff... Slow motion on the camera app? Yeah twice...

There's practically nothing on AOSP that could be considered useless. There really isn't any added features besides photosphere. I guess NFC could be considered useless but its one of those things that when the time comes you'll be glad you have it. Photosphere, I used a couple times but it doesn't work too well with the galaxy nexus average camera quality.

If you don't buy other things with NFC you will not use it.

NFC. Would love to use wallet but it's not available outside US.

No, there is plenty of uses. I pair my Bluetooth speakers and headset with NFC in under 3 seconds. I also share pictures with my less than tech savvy friends using the touch to share feature. I have also seen a couple ads with a NFC tag that give you a free song.

Which is what I said. You can't use it on its own.....

I guess I misread what you said, I thought you meant if you don't use NFC for purchases then there is no other use for it.

Ive never used CM profiles. I also never OC or UV.

I like the idea of nfc, but haven't used it yet. MHI, or hdmi I don't think I would ever use. Maybe miracast, but it will probably be years before it is widely implemented.

The front facing camera.
Beamed from my Maguro.

My wife actually has an NFC enabled phone but we still rarely, if ever, use it. Even if we're sitting right next to each other, I still just email or text stuff to her so she can get at it on her phone. I'm sure it might be worth it in some use cases, or for some people, but I've never used it.

Bluetooth! Gotta say, I have never used it.

[req] vizio smart TV remote app

This would make my life so much easier. And it would be great to control my TV with my phone.

Fortunately I have a nexus s battery from verizon in my phone. I have phenominal battery life. On the other hand my vizio remote is always taking a **** on me.. Just would like a more reliable way of controlling. It should be easy to develope due to the fact that they are both bluetooth devices..

Your tv requires an rf transmitter which the phone doesn't have. UNLESS it is networked and can be controlled over WiFi (like alot of receivers can). But of course you need an app

The newer M3Ds from Vizio have Bluetooth capabilities. I tried to pair my phone with one and it was a no go.

My Vizio TV has built in wifi also, and I am interested in this too, cuz I broke my remote. And none of the universal ones at your neighborhood electronics store have the Netflix, Amazon, or VooDoo buttons.

This is exactly the reason I requested this app. My remote just randomly stops working.. it would save a headache if a developer would do this. After all the remote is Bluetooth..

Automatic turning om shared internet for my Nexus 7

Tasker : I have S3 and Nexus 7. I was thinking maybe I could use the NFC and tasker to easy/automatic set up shared internet on the s3 when I bump the devices together. Any thoughts?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
Are you asking , can you turn on the wireless hotspot , by touching the devices together using nfc?
Sent from Pluto
Download wireless tether for root, then set the device profile to Samsung galaxy sIII and hit tether. I tether to my Asus transformer prime when I'm at school.

I don't think it's possible by itself.... But in theory you could get tectiles and attach one to your nexus 7, program it to turn the hotspot on.

I was considering that. I have ordered them and was thinking maybe I could place one on the inside of a case for the Nexus so IT wont be visible.

The demo video from Samsung shows recording the screen. I understand that it was disabled. But, has it been added ti any roms? If so how do you use it?

I haven't tried it, but I remember seeing something in the camcorder saying "self record". I would look around in there. Otherwise, if you're rooted, you can try out Screencast. I haven't used it on the GN2, but worked pretty good on the Evo 4G.
+1 on Screencast. Used it to help another GN2 owner.

That's my thoughts if this one dies. As long as the HDMI converter works on them. Haven't researched it yet though.

That galaxy 7" my mom picked to replace hers is doing nicely, I'm not sure it's a huge improvement but it runs well enough and probably lower in price now then it was a few months ago, especially with the first gen n7 coming down to $200 for 32gb. The screen alone would make it a better device then the a100 if nothing else.
OK. Asus memo pad. Its like $100 right now, and it has like a 5340ma battery, I'm all about that! Reportedly they're gonna come out with a new one for $150 though, and the Samsung one has an ir blaster built in, and multiwindow, and since it Samsung there should be a strong development forum to fallback on. Tough call.

Those look good but I'm not too concerned with the root ability ofy tablet, I'm more concerned on what it can do and if its smooth. If I go with the Samsung I'll want to mod the multi window so I can use any app with it though.

Hmm,

To be honest i newer used it since now.

Are those the touch-and-go readers? Does the Google Wallet application just emulate a card for you? Does it matter if it has the wallet logo?
Never use it
Didn't have the Google wallet logo. I assume it was just touch and go. All I had to do was press credit on the self scan before it would work.
