I got a new google nexus 7 two weeks back. The Android Beam worked fine with both tags and other devices.
All of a sudden it stopped working.
I remember that I kept on my DVD player for long.
No tags can be read or written apart from no NFC sensing with other devices.
How do I debug?
The kernel is 4.1.2. Please help. I am not sure if it is a hardware problem.
Settings -> Wireless and Networks -> More
Make sure NFC has a checkmark. Should say Android Beam is ready.
Yes NFC is checked and Android Beam is on and ready to beam
I tried to test it with tags and galaxy s3 which were working fine with my nexus 7.
All of a sudden NFC has stopped.

If convenient, just exchange it. Sounds like hardware failure.

Thanks that is the last resort. But was looking for some debug messages etc to verify the hardware failure so that the vendor is also convinced regarding the failure and provides the exchange.

I've been trying to send files to my Samsung Galaxy SIII Mini via NFC, but they never transfer. Also when I try to receive files from my SIII Mini I never receive them my n7.
I've got NFC switched on & they detect each other when I touch them, but they won't transfer.
What am I doing wrong?

go to settings > wifi > more settings > uncheck samsung beam> re-try
sending files over nfc using samsung beam only work with other samsungs switching it off uses standard nfc bluetooth transport "standard nfc"
samsung beam uses nc-wifi-direct
you could try downloading "superbeam" from market, its a great little app that lets you send files using the nfc-wifi-direct method without both devices being samsung
I just received my new Tronsmart T428 from Geekbuying on Monday
The biggest problem I'm having though is getting any bluetooth keyboard or mouse to actually work on it. I can pair them all up - but they don't work.
I can pair them to my Nexus 7 and they work just fine (both the T428 and the N7 are running 4.2.2)
Kind of defeats the purpose of having it attached to the TV if I can't actually control anything without sitting within USB tethered range.
That being said - it works great with the Synology apps (DS Video/DS Audio) to get my media to the TV.....haven't tried xbmc yet but that's next up after I get this BT thing figured out....

I'm having the same issue with the Tronsmart T428. I can pair them to my Asus TF700 and they work fine. Any remidies to fix the issue?
I haven't found a solution yet - I was trying to roll back the firmware to 4.1.1 to see if that would fix it - but having problems finding the appropriate drivers to get it to work.
so basically - this is a really cool Android computer - that I have to sit next to my TV to use (wired mouse)
It's an awesome computer I agree. I'm downloading the 4.1.1 firmware as I speak. Have to see if I can get it to flash...
Good luck with that let me know if you manage to figure it out!
UPDATE: I managed to get it backdated to 4.1.1 - video playback is choppy (dropped frames?) but my BT keyboard/mouse works now..
I did get an email back from geekbuying finally...
hi frend
thanks for telling us the troubles u met
pls reset it to the factory first.
if it is the same , pls wait for days.
next week there will be a firmare of ROCKCHIP. to solve that troubles

so maybe this new firmware will fix it
I managed to get 4.1.1 installed as well. I didn't notice the choppy video using BS Player but it did fix my bluetooth problem although the bluetooth connection doesn't seem to be very strong. I can be 10 feet away from it and it won't hardly work. Wonder if my wifi is interfering wth it since the router is on the other side of the wall. Glad to hear rockchip is supposed to release an update.

There was a box to enable they keyboard but it was already checked...so it should've worked but it didn't. 4.1.1 solved the problem...must be a hardware/software issue somewhere.
Since on Android 4.1 it can work, so it must be a system problem, hope they can release a new firmware soon to fix it.
except that, a really little cool device!

I read somewhere that google replace in android 4.2.2 the bluez stack by a broadcom stack. It mean that some devices are not compatible anymore. Aparently broadcom will be better, but in the mean time some of us will have to use 4.2.1 and below to make our devices working. Broadcom will support bluetooth 4.0 and will be less power draining. I ckecked om google code and there lot of devices reporting not working anymore, we will have to wait until further upgrade.
Firmware May 30 fix
The new firmware relase May 30 fix the bluetooth issue :laugh:

I'm using my kernel (based on marvin) without any changes regarding bluetooth and Finless 1.6 system img.
Bluetooth 2.1 devices with SSP pairing work if after pairing you select de device and do check&uncheck&check the input device checkbox.

Do you have an idea how to Get miracast Running on this device ?? I had successfully connected only once to Sony KDL 42W804a TV. Then it just shows connecting but nothing more..
Miracast on this device works perfectly with every unit which has built in miracast or via miracast usb adapter. Tried on stock kernel and ROM with 10 different TV sets: Philips, LG, Sony and Sammy. Even with latest ASUS LCD. Works perfectly without any issues.

Is anyone else having issues receiving files, pictures, music etc...using S-BEAM/NFC? (I have both options selected)
I tried sending files from a GNII and a SIV to the N7.2 with no luck what so ever. When beaming the files to N7.2 I get a Play Store prompt and it eventually times out.
However sending files from the N7.2 I never have any issues.
Has anyone else experienced this?
S beam will have to be turned off when using the Galaxy s4 or S3. It works but you have to use regular NFC with devices that don't have s beam. If you are looking for something similar from Android to Android device try super beam. This application does the same thing similar to s beam.

I can't get my NFC to work at all. It is on in the settings but it won't recognize any NFC device when bumped (tried with old N7 and S4). I even used a reader app to read my credit card and it didn't even pick that up (which my GS4 did with the same app). So NFC seems to be the only thing wrong with mine. If there's a fix that doesn't require a return or sending it in, that would be great.
As stated... With any Samsung galaxy device s beam has to be turned off and NFC only turned on.

Thanks for responding!
I turned off S Beam on the GNII and I was still not able to send picture using just NFC. I tried with S-Beam off and also with Android Beam off. With Android Beam off, it was really a no go. With Android Beam on, it would attempt to send the file, but the N7.2 would go to the Play Store, the same way it would with S-Beam on.
I am going to get my coworks GS4 and turnoff S-Beam to see if its an issue with my GNII.

On the Nexus 7 (2013), the NFC sensor is in the middle of the "nexus", in the same place as the wireless charging spot. On the Nexus 7 (2012) the sensor was towards the top of the device around where the "nexus" was. I have found the NFC signal to be exceptionally strong on the Nexus 7 (2013).
NFC from HTC one
Hi, I can use the same MiFare tags on either device but for the life of me cant get any connection between my HTC one and the Nexus 7 (2013). Its bothering me since I know both transceivers work. Is there some incompatibility? Before anyone replies, I am not a moron and yes all NFC options are turned on. I tried BT on/off too. I rebooted etc. Anyone?
I just tried using my coworkers GSIV and I could send a file from the N7.2 witout any issues. The phone actually had S-Beam on when I sent a file from the N7.2
I asked her to turn off S-Beam and to send me a picture from the GSIV. No good, the picture would not send. We turned S-Beam on and tried to send a picture and the Play Store option popped up on the N7.2.
Could it be that I just have a bad unit? I don't not have any other NFC enabled devices besides Galaxies devices around me lol...so I don't have any other way to test it out.
Sending from the N7.2 is great...receiving has been a failure using the GSIV & GNII.
Android Beam is built into every Android 4.0+ device with NFC. However, as of Android 4.1+, it can send photos and videos to other devices, so long as both devices have Bluetooth in addition to NFC. Simply open a photo or video in the gallery, put the devices back-to-back, and follow the beam procedure.
S-Beam is a proprietary implementation of this on certain Samsung devices, which predates 4.1's photo/video sending capabilities, and uses Wi-Fi Direct. Since it is uncertain if S-Beam disrupts the function of the Bluetooth-based Android Beam photo/video sharing, and only offers a few extra file sharing features, I would recommend turning it off, unless you have compelling reason not to.

Thank for the tip. Once I was able to find the "G Spot" I was finally able to send pictures and apps from my GNII to the N7.2!!! Now I just need to try out my NFC chips!!
Whew...I'm happy that its not my phone or the tablet...just took a more precise and gentle touch lol :highfive:

This is awesome news! When you using Play Music All Access do the LED lights work like they used to?
Does it show up in the Chromecast app? Can you stream Netflix to it? Can you stream to it from your Chrome browser? Or is it just the old streaming functionality that's been in the Google apps since the Q was released? It's possible Google pushed app updates to the Q, but I'm not holding my breath just yet until I see more proof.

this would make sense, but it did play audio and video. the thing that does make me think this might be the case is that it only worked on my nexus 10, which is my only device running 4.3. i didnt work in chrome or on my s4 running CM 10.1
i didnt notice the LED and it didnt appear in the chromecast app

yesterday when I was using play music it appeared (as well as my bluetooth headphones) as an option for the device to chromecast to. i know it was supported in youtube, but it hadnt shown up as an option there before either.
the appearance of my bluetooth headphones makes me wonder if thats how it's being supported? i hadnt seen either before last night
Do you have a chromecast as well? I didnt see the little tv icon, or arrow did it show on yours?

Bluetooth devices show up google play music all access with the same cast button as the chromecast. I've tested this with a Jawbone Jambox and my Ford Sync stereo. *IF* the nexus Q was showing up, I would guess it wasn't showing up as a bluetooth device, it was never designed to stream that content via bluetooth but to access the cloud like chromecast over wifi. Do you have a screenshot of google play music that you can share with us?
Has someone tried this in their Q yet?

My Q shows up as an available device under the bluetooth on my s3 but when i try to pair it, it says its unavailable to communicate with it. my Q does work with YouTube still. any ideas?
Passkey
My Nexus 7 attempts to pair via Bluetooth, but asks to verify the device is displaying a unique passkey. I don't have a display connected to the Q.
