Hi all
Recently Scalado released another great feature (remove) that works on camera, few months ago i saw they did a show case on another feature (rewind).
However, i'm wondering how do we get these features.. have they not been released yet? or they're inbuild drivers on our cameras?
i tried searching the forums, but didn't see much info on this.
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.

So first of all, my device is a gs4 9500.
the current rom is cm 11 nightly.
(By the way, I'm TRULY sorry if this is the wrong forum to post this question in)
Could anyone help me find a properly working apk for the galaxy s4 s calendar? (or perhap even GS5, if it's possible at all)
I really loved the monthly widget it provided, the stickers and the many possibilities and comfort that the google calendar simply doesn't provide.
Thanks in advance, sorry for my noob-y-ness :crying:

Hi,
I know what you mean about the google calendar. I'm a fan of google apps in general but their calendar is a bit rubbish on the small phone screen. Take a look at aCalendar (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.withouthat.acalendar&hl=en_GB) which I find to be a far better featured calendar.
Hope this helps
-Mat
just open the play store and find any calendar you need.
Hello,
I dont know if this is possible or not, but does anyone know of any ROM or apk that will allow me to share my tablet screen with my Samsung Smart TV? I have the Note 8 and its an option in the quick settings off the Notification bar, wondering if I could get something similar for the Nexus 7. I tried to search through the posts, but most results are for cracked/damaged screens. Apologies if this post isnt allowed in some way, thanks in advance if anyone can help!

Sad part is our n7 is not capable enough for smooth miracast stream. If you are pn stock rom and flash parrotmod, it does enable cast option. However on my nougat os, steam os almost a wasteful effor. N7 2013 is however a good option.
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?

How do you use Samsung Pay on OP? When I click install, it downloads it but then nothing happens.

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.
