I love the concept behind android beam: sharing videos, pictures with other nfc phones , nfc enables the connection between the devices and then the transfers are made via BLUETOOTH wth google, is ridiculously slow , so samsung knew better and they making the transfers via wifi direct halleluhjah! the horrible thing is that they named their sharing service sbeam (like we need more branding) and its only for galaxy s phones with ioswiz, i mean touchwiz is there a way to make android beam on the nexus work only with wifi direct (like samsung does) ?
someone have a Galaxy S phone we can just rip the apk from maybe? seems like the simplest solution??
then it's just a question of dropping the apk on both devices and giving it a test... no ?? I'de be game. not really put the beam to good use yet !
IMO... Google needs to address this for if it is not on every wifi direct compatible device, what good is it?
"I made a video for you. OK, here... wait... ummm, go to http://whatapainindieass.com and download the apk and sideload it. Are you done yet? Ok I'll wait. How 'bout now?"

No, in order to use sbeam you NEED to have touchwiz, thats what i read :crying:
Guess there's no app yet that does this :crying:

There are a couple of apps that will do this, albeit without being initialized by nfc. Search for wifi direct or WiFi shoot.
I agree that such an app would be extremely useful. It would be nice to use NFC to set up a Bluetooth or (even better) Wi-Fi connection between two devices to transfer files.
Some app that runs on all NFC devices (not just Samsung branded ones) would be extremely useful.

I have a 2013 prius stock and a galaxy s4... When I had stock Rom my music information that showed on the prius screen came up but I was unable to change songs or go to playlists through the prius screen. I went to paranoid android Rom and now for all song music it is showing as unavailable and the contacts do not sync.... I have heard it might be the aosp or something like that.... is there ANY WAY to fix this

No there is no way to fix this. AOSP-based roms do not have the correct AVCRP version to support this feature. Previously, CM9 or 10 supported this with bluestack's cherry pick, but bluestacks has not updated this iirc.
You're SOL, sorry.

Dang so there is no way to add this in with a script or such? Or Download an app that supports it? ..

You could flash the Google Edition 4.2.2 , while not aosp, it has the vanilla flavor, bout you miss out on customization. Once 4.3 is released we should be good as the new Bluetooth stacks will have it

so is there currently any ROM that has the qualifications to allow me to play and stream music info to my car?
Any ROM will stream music into your car.
NON TOUCHWIZ ROMS will not stream Music information into your car.
It's as simple as that.
Google doesn't support it. Samsung has to add that feature, so thats why it only works on Touchwiz.
It's been a problem ever since 4.2 came out. With 4.1, custom ROM's like Cyanogenmod could manually add the feature in, but since Google changed the bluetooth stack on 4.2, nobody has either A) figured it out or B) gave it time to look into it.

Yes.
Everyone says that 4.3 will support it, but since Google never said anything about it (and I assume it doesn't work on the leaked 4.3 ROM) I would say to just either tough it out, or stick with a TW ROM. And get Nova launcher or something.
hello everyone
does the note 3 has all-in-one remote like on the lg g2? like can you use it to control devices not included in the main app? lg g2 can do this because it has ir signal reader (i think its called this way), so can you confirm that the note 3 has this feature?
thanks

i do believe so ive got ,tv,sound system ,hifi,dvd,sky,and more
I disabled WatchOn and installed Smart IR Remote. I can control anything with an IR transceiver. (Provided the right protocol is included in the app.)
So yes, you can.
ShadowLea does Smart IR Remote allow to learn IR-protocol from the original RC if the IR-code is not in the library?
No it has no learn function. I was communicating with the developer of this app and they haven't found a way to implement that (yet).

I have tried famous brands like Mitsubushi, Mcquery, Gree. None works.
Air conditioners tend to send ALL settings every time. so the IR program nees to be able to send "macro" IR signals..
Its a bit like morse code
for instance, a TV "Power On" might be ---...
channel up might be --.-
and air conditioner will use "power on" as ---.--.-------....---...--------...---.--.----.--..---.---.--.--.--
Which would translate to something like "Power on, 23deg C, Cool, Swing, Quiet mode, turn off in 3 hours"
it makes it harder to program, but its still do-able.
Hi all
Is there any custom rom that installs/support the samsung framework?
I'd love to set the tab on JB, but also need the all-share (samsung-link) application to work
Thanks
Why would you need Samsung allshare? there are a lot app that do the same (better) BublePnp, Pixel Media Server,

Samsung UE46F6400
http://skp.samsungcsportal.com/inte...q=10734&gubun=I&tabStatus=s&status=&step_no=3
But it only works on JB
Many thanks for that information
Mine is UE40ES6100W and i've no fullscreen/mirroring option on my TV menu.
I've wi-fi direct and it pairs but i just can't do anything that i already done with stock video app, only watch movies and in my case without subtitles so i use BubblePNP wich is excelent for that.
Just for curiosity i've investigated and stumbled into http://www.samygo.tv/
This weekend i'll search a little deeper to see what's this and what can we do with it.

I removed it again.
for now it didn't gave me much benefit, and it breaks the skype app.
I have a 6t and love it and looking to add a smart watch . I really a leaning towards the Samsung Gear Sport (or possibly an s3) over a Wear OS watch. I'm concerned over compatibility with it being a non Samsung phone and certain functionality not working . The main things i'm wondering about is SMS messages, Call info, email coming to the watch. The compatibility page for the Sport shows not compatible with non-samsung android for messaging specifically but i've read others say they had luck w/ it. (although i'm not certain if thats w/ the S3 or Sport). I'm curious if anyone w/ a 6 or 6t has had any experience w/ the Gear Sport (or s3) w/ those features specifically.
Beyond that the big things i am wanting to use is standalone GPS and offline music but dont think i'd have an issue w/ that
any feedback would be awesome! thank you!
i have 6t and gear s3. it works like any other android phones.
havent had any issue yet.
Awesome thank you. So if you get a text or email can you read it on the watch and reply? Incoming call info good too? I wonder if the same works on the sport too since it shows slightly different info on it's compatibility chart compared to the s3

yes, yes and yes
everything works as it should. I have S3 and absolutely no problems pairing and using it with 6T
Everything works as expected
I changed my S8 for an 6T and I don't have any problems with my Gear Sport. If you didn't bought a watch yet, I would suggest to go for S3, as Gear Sport doesn't have a mic and a speaker. Not heaving a speaker means that the watch will not ring on i coming calls and messages, it will only vibrate.
thank you both for your input on this! so i was partially hopeful that this would all work w/ the S3 since that compatibility chart shows "limited availability" for non samsung android for messaging and the Sport chart shows "not supported". so maybe its just an outdated chart or we're just getting lucky i guess. Support told me yesterday that w/ a non samsung android and the Gear Sport you'd get a notification that you have a SMS but you wouldnt be able to see who it was from or read it. hoping what you guys reported is the actual norm though! w/ SMS can you read the whole string of text convo or just the new message that arrived? not a big deal but was curious. I like the look of the S3 better but really like the waterproof part of the Sport. i'm not sure the speaker/mic is a big thing for me or not as i'd be fine w/ just vibration (as long as its sufficient)
I'm using Gear sport with OP6T and I don't have any issue.
I have the Gear S3 and everything works fine, but I should mention that I use Textra for SMS, not the crap default messaging app. I can read the full message and reply with quick replies or voice to text.

thats a good thing to note....i remember someone else saying they use textra too. would anyone be willing to test using the default messenger to see if that works as well? no biggie if you dont want to mess with it
and just to make sure i'm on the same page you get gmail notifications and you can read them as well? (thats not as big a deal really as reading an email on a watch might be annoying). the sms and phone is bigger i think
thank you again for everyones help!
No issues with the OP6T & my gear 3 frontier.
Samsung pay, all functions I use work perfectly.
Awesome thank you everyone! And I assume you just needed the gear app to make it work? Is anyone willing to test with the standard Google messenger just to see if that works?

It never installs? Afterwards for me it popped up to install, then you go back to Samsung pay in the Galaxy wearable app and launch it to set it up

I have the Galaxy Watch (46mm version) and the OP 6t McLaren Edition and both are working well together with no issues. As long as you install Galaxy Wear App and use it to sync to the watch it will all work correctly. Good luck.

perfect thank you! i think i'm going to go with the Gear Sport which is tizen 3.0 vs 4.0 thats on the galaxy watch but sounds like that should work ok too hopefully. I knew i'd need to do the gear app on my OP so no biggie there. I wonder why Samsung has not supported for messenging for the sport for non samsung android. maybe just outdated info
I got my Gear Sport and working great with my 6t! one thing missing is the Messenger app on the watch. I do get notifications for new texts and i can reply but cannot see past messages or the whole thread like it supposedly let you do w/ the messenger app. From what i gathered a lot of others are having the same issue and they used to have it sounds like. I'd bet its because its not a samsung phone so they stripped that feature from non -samsung which is super lame. is everyone else seeing the same thing?

Do you use Android Auto in your vehicle? Sometimes when I receive a call, my Gear s3 will take the call instead of my vehicle. Then in the speaker menu I can only see Bluetooth of my Gear s3, but does not show more that one Bluetooth option. It's frustrating. If I turn my watch off, it goes back to my vehicle. Once in a while it works fine, but I can't rely on it working.
