Like the NFC aspect (outside of G-Wallet use), I wanted to bring another feature that is likely to be glossed over.
Some of you coming from an Epic Touch, might be familiar with this or people who've used Ad-Hoc.
Edit: (An app to take advantage of this ability (in beta) but it works well.

The same, it's just re-labled. They may have some pre-programmed tasks for it's use. It's present in the Samsung GS2.
Edit:
S-Beam is limited in function as it will only use it's main functions with other SGS3 handsets.

Seems like we need an app to make this work. Ive connected to other devices but I cant send anything due to no app to control the function
Glad I'm not the only one,lol.I can set up a group and connect but can't seem to find anyway to transfer data via WiFi Direct.

This Sucks
This really Sucks to have such a great feature bit no way to use it.... ive spent alot of time trying to figure it out but i couldnt..... i really hope someone figures this out....
My friend and I were messing with this over the weekend, he has an SIII I have the EVO. Turning it on and pairing the devices up works great, but when he would try to send a picture (WiFi Direct gets added to the standard Share menu on the SIII) it would just hang on his end until it timed out. I tried sending a file, but get no WiFi Direct option in the share menu of the EVO.
He also had a place to control some settings, one of them was "File Sharing" and he had to turn that on before we were able to attempt to send files.
Sucks that this doesn't work - it could be really cool especially if my wife and I want to pass photos around to each other that we have taken of the kids.
Makes no sense to add this ability with no way to use it..
I agree. I can pair with my brothers 4G LTE but cant transfer anything between the phones...

Have you downloaded the app and been able to use it? I downloaded it and downloaded it on my co workers EVO LTE, but still can't get it to transmit. The wifi icon does not show up in the share menu like the you tube video shows. Not sure if I'm doing it wrong...

So I have noticed this on a few apps now. Sprint family locator & SwiFTP. When you open them it doesn't fill the entire screen. It's smaller, also my LiveBlackjack 21 game by dragon the menu fills up the entire screen but the deal button no longer shows at the bottom. Any settings that can be changed or will this have to be fixed from the dev side?

It didn't help. I noticed this with Photobucket and an NES emulator.
I'm getting the same thing with the Droid auctions app.
Sent from my PG86100 using Tapatalk
My best guess is the "qHD" display is not support it by android natively that's why I'm kind of afraid getting the phone so , spare parts is a fix but it should have been fix from the beginning
Were gonna have to email the app devs and let them know what's up.
I had a few apps that did this...TD Bank, Spare parts, and 1 or 2 others. The spare parts option fixed all of them. Some apps are probably not programmed to take advantage of qHD, and thus its the devs fault, not HTC/Android. Maybe im wrong on that count, but thats my guess.
Spare parts kinda works for some aps, it didn't fix blackjack and kinda fixed family locator. The map came up full screen and then after you try and do a locate it gets all jacked. Hopefully these aps will get fixed soon.
Same with datpiff music app.

FWIW, I've been setting up custom icons on most of my apps and I noticed the ones that don't support the new res have a generic "drawable" folder vs the others having "drawable hdpi," "drawable mdpi," and "drawable ldpi." The 3D uses the HDPI setup...

Hi,
I search but could not find on XDA
I use my X10 to log into my workplace wifi daily but the problem is that i have to manually connect it to the wifi network
Is there an app to make my X10 2.1 to automatically switch to wifi when i enter my workplace so that i dont have to manually do it daily?
The iphone has such an app
2.3 roll out is said to begin THIS WEEKEND!! so xcited i can provide link

How should the phone know, when you enter your workplace. There has to be some kind of trigger and in fact i dont really think that it is that hard to open the settings and turn wifi on. Create a shortcut or use an unofficial rom f.e. TW mod there you can switch wifi on in the drop down bar.

Yes the iphone has that app...so Android should also. Thats what apps are there for...to make our lives easier.
Was mentioned in this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1177372 that roll out will start this weekend.
But what is the trigger for your workplace? Should the wifi turn on 30mins after you say “‘til later honey!“ or what? GPS is more battery expensive than its worth. Tell me how the phone should know when you are at work?

Found a solution already?
Else try Llama from KebabApps. It uses the cell locations for finding your position. No GPS is needed. Can switch a lot of things beside WiFi. Also time dependant tasks are possible.
Honestly I used it some time ago. But my workplace is too near to my home. So it never knew exactly where I am ;-)

Another vote for llama. Tasker is much more powerful, but I found llama more useful because it was so simple. The developer has been adding features and improving performance and respond to emails promptly. I really need to buy it already.

I tried updating and I am unable to do video chat. I then did a reinstall and tried both 3g and wifi and I don't see the video chat option on the settings menu as mentioned by the app. I have an eve 3d with synergy evo 3d mod. Anyone also experiencing any problems?
I tried before I posted, everything worked fine for me. Rooted stock ROM, RCMIX kernel
Not Working for me either.
Did you find a fix for your evo3d? I don't have the option either in Skype even after uninstall and update. Same problem on gf's evo.
I get no video and the person I'm chatting cant see anything.
I was just chatting with my girl friend on skype with the new update. I'm running Vipers 1.2 ROM with TWRP
If your having trouble try uninstalling rebooting and dowmloading skype again.
I'm on the stock ROM, no fix is needed. This works fine for everyone I know. Probably whatever ROM you guys are using.

The video setting doesn't show up in synergy because the base is so modified that the app doesn't recognize it as an EVO 3D. A different ROM will work. I had the same issue.

Yeah I dont know whats up with that but I just hold the phone horizontal to ignore the upside down video chats.
It's definitely irritating that for a company as large as Skype seems to perform no quality control on their software. I mean its not an obscure bug. Immediately upon starting a video call you see the person your talking to standing on their head. One of the main reasons we bought the phone was the convenience for video calls since my wifes family live in Colombia and we are in the states. Also being military ill end up traveling and having a method to see ny family would he nice. Oh well. I'll just hold it upsidedown till they fix it. I thoguht if i bought an android phone I wouldn't suffer from errors caused by holding my phone the wrong way.

Task manager to kill process. Or set offline immediately and auto login in Skype prefs then you won't have to re-enter password each time you launch or switch to it.

I have two EVO LTE phones and when I bump the backs together they play an audible tone and vibrate so I know they are connecting with NFC but I can not for the life of me figure out how to transfer a file from one phone to the other. Does anyone have experience with this and can explain how to do it? Thanks in advance for any responses.

Can't transfer files only smaller things like vCards, browser links, youtube links. HTC hasn't added the ability to add other things yet. Samsung built on Beam using wifi direct so i would be surprised to see HTC come up with a similar solution or a app to assist the

Make sure both phones have the NFC turned on then pull up the contact or the web page(looks like ICS internet and chrome only work - dolphin wouldnt) then touch the backs of the phones together. It will push the item to the back of the screen and then touch the screen and it will beam it to the other phone. You can do the same with some apps as well and it will push app to the playstore. Cant wait till you can beam photos and files.

There is an app on the market called 'File Expert" that allows you to do it but I think when doing larger files bluetooth is faster. but hey if you wanna play. here is a toy.
I really can't wait to beam photos
So I've came across the official HTC flashlight app and figured others would want it also.
Just click on the link below and download. MAKE SURE TO HAVE UNKNOWN SOURCES CHECKED TO BE ABLE TO DOWNLOAD!
Once downloaded just download a file manager from the playstore go to downloads and find it and install.
Works perfectly and has all three brightness settings. Just tap the button on the flashlight and bam your good to go and don't have to be afraid of the dark anymore!
This app is not guaranteed to keep boogie men, monsters, stalkers, serial killers, and other things that go bump in the night away, its simply a flashlight and most it can do is blind those and enable a chance to run away and piss your pants.
Enjoy!!!
