is it possible to transfer files using android beam/NFC from Nexus 4 to Galaxy S3 or the other way around?
I can't seem to be able to do it.

anybody?
sorry for bumping this thread I just really want to know..
Yes its possible but the nexus 4 only uses Bluetooth versus the s3 which uses WiFi direct. But it works only slower because its Bluetooth.

Make sure NFC is enabled on both devices

try temporarily disabling s-beam and the s3 MUST be on jellybean (i've done it with the sprint s3 jellybean leak)

You have to enable both NFC and android beam on the S3

Have you tried doing that already? Also, bluetooth doesn't have to be activated. It should turn on by itself.
Btw, the Nexus 4 NFC seems to be near the top of the phone, instead of in the middle.
Coonberry the WiFi direct on the nexus 4 for is a bust. It doesn't work at all. Well not for me or my friends who also have a nexus 4

Me and a coworker tried sending photos back n forth and I was able to send him a photo but when he tried to send me one my phone just went to the market place and said it couldn't find anything. Both our devices have NFC and s beam on. It makes a noise and vibrates when we pit them back to back bit I just can't receive anything. Anyone know? Thanks

Wrong section... Nexus 4 doesn't have s beam afaik.

Sorry bro, S-Beam is a Samsung only application.
It's called Android Beam on this device.
I believe it's due to the different gallery apps used.

I went through this same thing with my friend's Note 2. I had to put my N4 a bit higher on the back of the Note, so that the lower half of my N4 was touching the upper half of his phone. Worked beautifully once we did that. When we first tried we couldn't get it to send anything, it would just vibrate and nothing would happen.
Give that a try, hope it helps.

S-Beam is only a touchwiz feature like Wi-Fi direct. Its different from NFC. It won't work on stock android, only NFC

Why is the option there though?

It's a different feature, S-Beam is Samsung only and Android Beam is stock android only. So you can not connect the devices to each other - that's like trying to plug MicroUSB to a USB port. Might do the same, but don't mix.
Than you!!!

I turned of s-beam on my S3 and was able to send files to my N4.........I did not try the other way.
I have both received from and sent a file to different GS3's. One had S-beam on, the other did not. I assumed it auto-detected.
My n4 works both way with my coworkers note2.

The S3 has S-Beam AND Android beam. S-Beam being on or off has nothing to Dow tub Android Beam.

Wifi-direct is not Samsung only. It is available on Nexus 4 and there are a lot apps using it to transfer files between different branded phones.
It is even available on laptops.

I moved from iphone 3s to Nexus 4 :victory:
But...how do I mute and then minimize incoming calls on my nexus?
I'm having a hard time finding it.
Thanks ahead of time
You just press the home button. To mute just press the middle button with all the phone options.

It's simply a microphone with a slash in it.

hmm...I'm using NOVA launcher and that doesn't seem to work with it. Any idea why?
When I want to mute, I just press Volume up or down.
It doesn't matter what launcher you're using. The dialer is an app.
Does it look like this?
