S beam nexus 7 and galaxy nexus - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

How do I use s beam on the nexus 7 and galaxy nexus I can't get it to work

Well s beam is on the Galaxy SIII, but you can use android beam by making sure that you have NFC is turned on in the settings and android beam is also. Then you can tap the back of your phone against the upper part of the back of the Nexus 7

On both devices, GO TO SETTINGS > WIRELESS & NETWORKS > MORE > Check NFC
Hold the back of the Gnex up to the TOP RIGHT CORNER of the BACK of the Nexus 7.
You should hear a sound and prompt to 'beam' whatever it is. I tested with a webpage, works great.
Hope this helps. :good:

Weird isn't working maybe its the ROM I'm using jelly belly

I got it to work, also. It's very cool. Hold your two NFC devices together, back to back (make sure your phone is lined up with the top edge of the tablet). When they chime, look at the one you want to transmit from and touch the screen. Your information should transmit.

Has S-Beam been ported to the GNex? I think that's the root of the question. S Beam can transfer large files quickly while android beam is slow and only allows small files.

What are the four contact points on the bottom

left side of the N7 for? I assume they are for charging, but I wasn't aware there was any kind of dock that would use these available for the N7. Thanks.
Those are for NFC.

They're not for NFC and will indeed be used for docks - most likely carrying power and sound.

Uhhhh... No. NFC receiver is on the back under where it says "Nexus".
The pogo pins on the side are for a future dock accessory, similar to the Galaxy Nexus.
Before I even saw this I thought it would be for a dock.
The pogos pins are designed for a dock that should let you plug speaker and a charger

Galaxy note 10.1 multiscreen

So I have seen the commercial for the new note 10.1 and its new feature, multiscreen. Is there any way to get this feature on the nexus 7? That's something I have been wanting since tablets have come out, it would be so handy to run two apps side by side.

I believe that's a touch wiz thing but I'm not sure.
There was one but it was never really taken up.

I was wondering the same thing myself. I remember seeing this feature demoed on the GN but couldn't find it on the N4.
this deserves some looking into, I wanna see big eyed videos!

Actually with the gnex on 4.2 up I don't see it already. Ever since the camera became similar to the n4 the effects have gone. Either that or I'm doing something wrong because I can't get it to show anymore on my old gnex

I think they took away the feature from 4.2 onward cuz they thought it wasn't worth the gimmick.
But you can try to rename the Gallery2.apk from a Galaxy Nexus 4.1 rom or older and install it to the N4 and see if it work, maybe not though since it might not have the correct camera driver.

[Q] 2 screen?

My question is:
Is there a way to have two things running on the screen at the same time like the s note2. granted i know the screen is not the same size but i do think it is big enough to have the function. and if so how ca it be done????
Sorry that is multiview and that is a Samsung feature. I believe we will never see that on the N4. Dev's are trying to get it to work on S3 and still have not got it.

There a some multiview apps available in Google Play i think. Don`t know if they run on non-samsung devices. Don`t use them myself so i can`t name one.

Not to get off subject, but your signature reminds me of the thing that I miss the most about my s3. Wicked ROM.

I noticed that the lg optimus g has it in the notification bar where you switch by selecting it and fading it out to see the other screen. I've been looking to see if there is something out there that could be flashed.

[Q] Can't Beam from Nexus 4 to Nexus 7

I have a Nexus 4 and a Nexus 7. I have been trying NFC beaming between both. The issue I am facing is that I can beam things like images, links etc. from the Nexus 7 to the Nexus 4, but this transfer doesn't go the other way ie. from the 4 to the 7.
If I have a beam-able item open on the 4 and I am on the home screen of the 7, then I do hear the devices recognize each other (the little sound and buzzing) but the Nexus 4 does not give the "touch to beam" option.
If the shareable item is on the N7 then I get the "touch to bean" as usual.
Has anyone faced this issue and / or has a solution for it.
No responses here. Anyone?
That's more than I can do. I never much can beam anything even pics. I just use Bluetooth share or for large files Wifi-Direct which offers 30mbps file transfers between devices

I've successfully beamed a few pics, its a little tedious though, the NFC spot on the N7 seems to be on the upper right side of the back, or at least that's were it seems to ding for me, but it's hard to hold them both and then click the beam button, then hold them still enough to make the transfer, I usually use a WiFi file transfer

I can beam without a problem from the N7 to the N4, but not the other way round. I am always looking to transfer pictures and wallpapers from the N4 to the N7 but without the NFC it's just additional steps to do this.
Oh well...
It seems that it was user error. I hadn't turned on android beam on the N4! Doh!
Sorry to bother you guys...
