Hello. Its been a while since I shared a picture/video via S Beam. First time i used it months ago, pictures were passed instantly (to friend's Note 2). And so yesterday I was trying to send a picture (to friend's S3), it was darn slow. Took 6-10 seconds. I know a little about S Beam, uses NFC and WIFI direct.
So heres my question. Do i need to be connected to a WIFI so I can get the speed?
-months ago I believe I was connected to WIFI
-yesterday I was not.
I havent tried yet myself, not until my friends come over. Im a bit curious. I think my phone is broken? hmm..
You don't need to be connected to WiFi. Sbeam uses WiFi direct.
You get disconnected from other WiFi networks when WiFi direct is used.
I prefer to use superbeam. I personally don't like sbeam or any Samsung app

It is fast and hassle free.

I realised there wasn't much of a difference in speed when sending files through 3.0 HS as apposed to 3.0, I tested this by sending files to my brothers galaxy s2 and didn't notice any difference in speed. But then I hurd wifi needs to be activated aswel in order to use bluetooth with HS? Is this true? And if so do both devices need to be connected to the same wifi network? Thanks.

I have a Samsung notebook and the wifi and blutooth 3.0 are integrated into the same card on my model and share the same antenna.
I find that my blutooth transfer rate is a lot higher with the wifi disabled when i am using the bluetooth , I think it was 250kb/s or something.
I just came across this video on youtube which compares 3.0 with 3.0 HS on the galaxy s2, altho I dont understand it cus its in japanese lol but I can make out the one with bluetooth HS is the one with wifi turned on and its much faster than the one without wifi on. Just hope you don't have to be on the same network in order for it to work.

Prob uses wifi direct to some extent since SGS2 supports it
Well I just got hold of my brothers gs2 again and tried sending the same file but with wifi on this time, it worked. before it took around 20 seconds to send this music file (9mb) and now with wifi on it takes just under 5 seconds, and you don't have to be connected to any wifi network, the wifi just needs to be switched on which is a good thing if you want to send files to friends when your out.

Very helpful thank you, I'd been trying to get my head around this bt 3 stuff for about an hour now then found this.
It's not obvious you'd need wifi on form the tiny book samsung provided.
Thanx a lot for this info man... was not getting the expected results before...
Hey no problem guys.. Having to turn the wifi on is a bit daft i know lol how on earth is a layman suppose to know that? Lol i met a friend on the bus the other day and he's also got the gs2, and he's very happy with it. He works in the Orange mobile retail shop so he thinks he knows the crack, As he was sending me a video he was boasting about the Bluetooth speed being so quick, telling me its got the newest Bluetooth technology in it lmao funny thing is he didn't even have wifi on and he works in a mobile phone shop. After he sent me the video which took about 5mins i turned on wifi on both phones and sent him the video back. It took around 40seconds, he was shocked lol he thought my phone sent files quicker because it was on a newer firmware lolol.

So when out of WiFi area I've previously just tethered my old tablet to my phone and used the phones data connection via the dial up networking profile. I can't for the life of me figure how to do this on the N10. Any ideas?

I can't answer your question, but why not just use the wifi hotspot?
Unless of course you are using a phone that does not have that feature ...

Fair question. Two reasons really, 1) some Telco providers and/or devices don't support it, and 2) it usually doesn't work internationally whereas tethering using DUN does.

I can't get tethering to work on my Nexus 4 at all, not with USB, Bluetooth, or WiFi hotspot. When using the WiFi hotspot option my computer--Windows 7--hard crashes after logging into the Nexus 4. Very strange.
I am on T-Mobile as well but I get nothing, just a crash. USB and Bluetooth tethering do nothing at all.

call your service provider and ask them to activate tethering. my provider (orange UK) doesn't charge for this so it was no problem but yours may be different.
i used to tether with my old phone on the same account without issues. i think that something about the N4 alerts them to tethering so that they can block it.

Hey guys. Today I received my x909 in the mail and I was trying to transfer video and music from my Sgs3 Via WiFi direct.
The problem is every time I try to pair or connect my find 5 with my old sgs3 the find 5 disconnects from the WiFi which in returns fails the transfer

I just used Wifi Direct together with an Xperia Z with the SuperBeam app. It worked like a charm, so you could try to use that.
Try super beam. Its amazing!

Superbeam didnt work for me(One x) and trust me I'm a huge wifi direct user,It used hotspot tethering transfer which is slower than wifi-direct.Use wifi-direct app from the playstore.It is great for sending files and did work between my note 10.1 and my One x.Side note samsung doesnt let anyone transfer files by wifi-direct from other devices natively because it uses its own method to pair its devices.U can easily send files using native wifi direct between 2 samsung devices but not with others.Wifi-direct app (by j4velin)will do it for u!!:angel:
Super beam got the job done. Thanks guys

How do i share my wifi connection from my note 3 to my laptop? when i try apps, it just disables the wifi, thus defeating the whole sharing process. can anyone help?
Your 4G internet is shared using wifi. you cannot use wifi for both.

I don't have 4g data, i am just using it as a wifi right now, i want to share that wifi with my other devices, not possible huh?
Sorry no. What WiFi point is your phone receiving internet from? Y not just connect your computer to that same router?

If this physically works out for you, place the laptop within range of the router and host your laptop as a wireless access point/wifi via ICS(internet connection sharing) within Windows to your Android phone
So it would be like Router ---> Laptop ---> Android piggybacked where the phone is the one not in range of the Wifi
Another option is to upgrade your router/laptop to a longer range. If you're on N, upgrade to Ac if your wallet allows it
or just buy a Wifi range extender.
seems a bit sublime to be trying to use a mobile device which is likely to move all over the place as a range extender - when the problem that needs to be solved involves distance & orientation relative to fixed stations.
