I stopped by Verizon today to play with the RAZR M before I decide to buy it. Do the Android-Beam just similar to S-Beam on Galaxy Nexus and SIII? Will that work to transfer something between Motorola and Samsung phone?
Decided to wait until if it actually work, then that's something I can do a quick transfer with my wife's Nexus.

Not sure how the SBeam works, but I was able to transfer stuff via NFC between my Moto RAZR M and my Nexus 7.... maybe that helps answer your question?

Then they should be working the same with S-Beam and Android-Beam.

I'm fairly sure that S-Beam is the same thing as Android Beam, except Samsung just decided to change the name, for whatever retarded reason.

Well, S-Beam uses WiFi Direct and Android Beam actually uses Bluetooth to transfer files. S-Beam is slightly faster. I haven't gotten NFC to work from SIII to Galaxy Nexus. There are also incompatibilties with Android Beam transfering some things between versions 4.0 and 4.1. So on my Girlfriends Razr M and my Galaxy Nexus transfers of pictures don't work.
In the end if you really have problems there is an app on the market called "Blue NFC" that you can share files to that will make NFC transfers easy.

I enabled NFC and Android Beam on both our RAZR M's. Beams web pages fine so I know it's working. Doesn't seem to want to beam a photo from the gallery. Anyone else having problems? Phones vibrate when touched but I never get the push to beam dialogue like I do with web pages.

I have a same problem, until I upgrade to Jellybean and test it out. It work great to beam photo from my M to my wife's Gnex.

It is not a problem. Ice cream sandwich introduce the function but it was limited to web pages, and contacts. Jelly Bean expanded to include photos, so you will have to wait until you get jelly bean to do that.
Check out this Android Central video http://youtu.be/4D8UVZzwADo
Something that I thought you feel for me too is that you can actually being YouTube between 2 phones so if you are looking at a YouTube video and you have a friend you want to see the video you can beam the page directly to them using the YouTube app. You can also beam A person directly to an app in the market so if you have at that would you like to share with somebody simply open the app and tap the phones and will send them to the play store where they can download the app. This is on both ice cream sandwich and jelly beans for both but beam works better on jelly bean all around.

you cannot beam photos gallery doesn't allow it for some reason If you have the newest android os 4.2.2 i think they have fixed the bug in that.
my Galaxy s3 has 4.1 and wifi direct. I tried it out on galaxy tab 2 demo at the store between the phone and tablet. Does the a500 have this available? My a500 is sxtock ics and not rooted.
I would like to transfer files and better yet, I would like to open a file stored on the phone (spreadsheet or pdf) on the tablet and save any changes back to the phone.
What I don't want is to need a Wi-Fi router between. Most of my files are on the phone. The phone is always with me. The tablet is not, so I would like to just remotely access the files on the bigger screen and save changes or annotations to the phone.
Wifi Direct on the A500 to connect to a Galaxy S3?

I'm replying to my own message to help get it new life. I'd really like to know if the WiFi Direct is something that is able to be done on my Acer.
Thanks.
I use SwiFTP. It will let you turn your phone / tablet into a file server. You can also use ES File Explorer to access files via ftp or lan.

Are you rooted? Root is all that is needed for these.
what about using the cloud, with something like dropbox?

SanDiegoan, we are building an app that does exactly just that. The app is called Drop, and it is a simple, fast, and secure way to share files with people/devices in proximity. We are going into a limited Private Beta soon, so if you're up for the challenge, (and running Jelly Bean) then sign up at www.get-drop.com. Seats are limited, and we have a rolling enrollment, so check it out.
For some reason I cannot send a file via Sbeam to my buddies S3, however I can receive. Any reason why?
I had a problem sending music but was able to send videos. Large videos also. Its wierd. My s3 worked flawlessly with sbeam

Same here, all kinds of apps worked with it. However for some reason, no matter what combination we tried, my S4 refused to send pictures to my girlfriend's skyrocket. Yet she can send me pictures flawlessly.

They're a perfect match in my opinion. Just came from the old N7. Vast improvement over that for one. Only missed a few things, but root it add xposed mod, gravity box and touch control and sorted. One very happy camper ?

No problem here. The system is running without issue with ART, as well.

I bought the Nexus 7 LTE to take the place of my T-mobile hotspot. This update breaks the 2 reasons I use the hotspot for, wireless connectivity on the go when I need it for my laptop and native sms messaging. Both of these features are included in the service I pay T-mobile for on this account. Not only did Google disable these 2 features without notice in KitKat, but they don't acknowledge that they have or give a reason or resolution for the issue anywhere that I can find. I can't even find a way to contact Google directly to ask them a question about the issue with any guarantee that they will even read my questions, let alone answer them. Until this is resolved, I'm stuck on 4.3.1.

So you're saying that the 4.4/KRT16S update removed the option to tether with a T-Mobile SIM? Can anyone else confirm that? If that's true, that totally sucks. For people on AT&T, their tethering has been disabled from the start. I know for a fact that tethering still works with Verizon, though, even after the KitKat update. I'd love to know how carriers get their demands integrated into a carrier-free, SIM unlocked device like the Nexus 7, especially when no Nexus phone has ever disabled tethering. The Google Play Edition phones don't disable tethering either. This "selective disabling of tethering based on carrier" seems to be unique to tablets.
As for native SMS on a tablet, though, that's a feature very few people will miss because so few people would ever even think to do it in the first place. Tablets are designed by default to be data consumption devices, not giant phones. You probably won't find much sympathy on that one.

I'm tying to understand why it should be different on theN7 from the N5 running Kitkat. I use my N5 on T-Mobile and the tethering works fine. I can't say I love Hangouts as the native SMS client but it does work for sms/mms. It should work on the N7. Hopefully someone might chip in who uses t mobile with their N7. You might want a thread title that is clearer what your issues are. The current title is unclear.

I don't need anyone's sympathy. As a matter of fact, there is already someone who has claimed a fix for the SMS problem in the LTE android development forum for the Nexus 7 (2013). So obviously there is sympathy. Just because you don't use a feature, don't make the assumption that others don't use it and find it useful.

That's exactly why I reverted to CM10.2 a while back.
TBH I have yet to see one real benefit of KitKat, and the ASOP install issues with KK was a total deal breaker for me.
XPrivacy having issues with KK didn't help either.
Went back to 10.2 and now I'm extremely happy again!...

You will need to go to Samsung Apps and download Gear Manager Software and install and set it up. But you have to follow the correct sequence, I didn't and now having trouble with the Note finding the Gear, but I'm working on it.

What will the Galaxy Gear do with wifi? It cannot use it as it depends entirely on the phone/phablet. However, check custom ROMS for the gear tha may make it work independent of the phone and access internet via bluetooth.
