[APP][4.1+] File Beam - Send files with Android Beam™

File Beam is a quick application to send files using Android Beam™ (requires 4.1 and NFC hardware)
You've probably used Android Beam™ before, the AOSP Gallery, Contacts, Browser etc all use it.
However, I haven't seen any file managers that implement sending files using Android Beam™, so I made this app.
To use it, tap the share button on any file in any file manager, then tap two devices together.
The API to send files using Android Beam™ was added in 4.1, so the application won't work on anything before that (both devices need 4.1, but only the sender needs the app)
This application is ad-supported, there's a donate button in the app, but please note, it does NOT disable ads, this isn't a con scheme or anything, but this is my first Android app, and until I figure out how to track donations using an API or otherwise, that's how it's going to be (patch welcome though!)
The application is also open source, licensed under GPLv3, with the source available on Github: https://github.com/MohammadAG/android-file-beam

About the ™, Android docs have it on all mentions of Android Beam™, and I'm not sure about legalities and stuff, so I did the same.

im running 4.2.2 aosp on my hox, and it shows up in the playstore

nice job bro! hope u will continue to work with such a wonderful apps!

HTC One X with CM10.1, 4.2.2, and it also shows up in Play Store.

Does it use the Bluetooth to transfer the file or Wifi Direct? Just to be clear, what I know is that NFC is only used to initiate the connection, then depending on the application it either sends the data by Wifi Direct or bluetooth. So which one does this uses? Sorry I haven't tried it yet, I only have one phone but Good Job mate.
Best of luck for the future.
EDIT: Sorry my bad, just read the description in the playstore and it uses Bluetooth.

The official docs say that Android Beam decides what to use. So afaik it should use either WiFi direct or bluetooth depending on the situation (in all my tests it used Bluetooth)

You're on da Portal, dude!!!!!

I love the concept of this app but why not force it to send files with nfc+wifi direct? bluetooth its useless for sending files, too damn slow :crying:

All I get is a notification on the device receiving the file saying "Incoming beam", and bluetooth turns on for both the devices, but no file is ever sent. I'm using the N4 and N7, is anyone else getting this?

Thank you for this! I just used NFC for the first time today and I was shocked to see this wasn't a built in Android feature. I saw the article on the main page and I quickly downloaded.

Hi there, just wanted to share my latest app. Amazon daily app
If you are a user of the Amazon app-shop like me, you may have encounter the same problem as me:
- Being "forced" to download the free app of the day to add it to your account
Well you can still cancel the download once it's launch, but hey ... it was bothering me.
So here it is, with "Amazon daily app" you can see what is the app of the day, add it to your account, or download it (still need to get it by the amazon app).
Feel free to leave me comments and remarks.
If you do like the app or just want to help, a nice comment/rate on the app sotre wil be appreciated
And if you don't like it, there's plenty of apps that will certainly suit you on XDA (but no rate & comment will be appreciated ^^)
Play store link : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.chimerique.AmazonDailyFreeApps.free
Cheers :highfive:

I've been waiting for this. I use the "free app of the day" app, but they're mostly things I'm not interested in so it'll be uninstalled soon. I much prefer the Amazon free apps, but unfortunately this isn't compatible with my phone (HTC One).
I'll be all over this as soon as I can be

Strange, can you tell me which version of Android you are running on your phone ?
Should definitly be compatible ...

It probably is more likely to be a version issue than a device issue. I'm on 4.2.2.

Nop, I've a GS2 under 4.2.2 and a LG 2X under 2.3
It's working fine on both ... from what I've read, It may come from resolution probleme ... I'll keep on the investigation ^^

It works for me now too. Thanks for sorting that
Edit: Why does it need login credentials? You don't need them to find out what the free app is.

Not that the app is not useful but you can also bookmark http://www.amazon.com/mobile-apps/b/ref=topnav_storetab_mas?ie=UTF8&node=2350149011 from pc or mobile device to see the app of the day and "purchase" it without downloading. This will work for all devices period.

True, that's why at the beginning I only wanted to load the webpage, and play with custom CSS, in sort to see only needed information, and have a more user friendly interface. But performance wasn't really there, so I decided to go a bit further in the process
The other objective (not sure it should be done) is to automate all this process, and just grab every day the free app. This is only if I found a nice way to keep the session open (token or whatever)
@Archer: The credential are not needed to see what's the free app. It's only asked once you decide to "buy" it (for free) with your amazon account. Basically the credential is always ask to authenticate yourself to amazon website, as I don't want (for now) to store your password.

Hi there, little heads up for the last version which now can give you a daily reminder!

Some people did ask for it, so I added the possibility to save your password and so not have to type it each time.
The password is encrypted and save.
But still be aware that this is no safe mesure, and you should definitly use a dummy account for this.

[APP] [2.3+] Locify! - Never forget...

Locify gives you the possibility to receive and view notifications and reminders, add notes, and add markers on a location-based scenario.
Some features:
* View your markers from different views, such as a map or a list.
* Sort the list by a property of your choice.
* For every marker you can add a name, description and notes: images, text notes and memos.
* For every marker, you can set a radius and a center location. When you enter this radius, you will be notified. This should cause almost no battery drain.
* Search for an address.
Download at dropbox.
Download at Google Play: not yet available.

Some usage examples:
-Use this app for vacations, trips and holidays: for every place you want to visit, add a note to a marker surrounding the city!
-Use this for work: every client would have its own marker and notes/tasks.
-Use it every day: instead of a normal note, just pin it to your home marker and you will be reminded when you get home.

At last you can hide the last seen time stamp! if you wanna as same as iPhone better go buy an iPhone then

Many people I know (and myself) are moving to Telegram out of concern for privacy & security - it's a near-perfect clone of WhatsApp except with end-to-end encryption and other security enhancements. It also includes various features not available in WhatsApp, with more on the way.
I'm currently running both WhatsApp and Telegram in parallel, using the latter in preference to the former whenever possible. Hopefully in time I can get rid of WhatsApp altogether.

Now the serious problem is, I can't see the others "Last seen" with this update! isn't it sux enough?
The Privacy setting for "Last seen" is for me (Myself) or to hide the last seen of my friend?

[APP][APK] Official Facebook Lite incl. messenger

Facebook launced an official facebook lite app. It is only available in some countries, but there are already some apk files on the web. The following article covers it, and offers an apk. I've scanned that apk with some online scanners: result2.1 result 1.4 result 1.5
http://www.breakingnewspak.com/facebook-launches-a-lite-version-for-low-end-android-devices/
There's also a thead on the Nexus subforum, and on androidautority but I haven't tried those apk's
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-s/general/facebook-lite-t3013276
http://www.androidauthority.com/facebook-lite-apk-download-582490/
If someone has a cleaner way of getting the app, please let us know
Thoughts
I've had this on my phone for day now. The nice thing is that you actually get notifications, which site wrappers as tinfoil for facebook don't have. Also facebook messenger is still in the app. It does seem a bit laggy sometimes (at least in my Xperia S), but not more than a site wrapper does. Since this app is really small, consumes less data and has notifications, it's a keeper for me!
Note
the 1.4.0.6.14-9-minAPI8 and onwards, are newer I think, the 2.1 must have been a wrong filename, thanks to @lingowistico for the share (x2)
Note 2
I'm not updating this post myself anymore, hopefully it can still be used to share apk's that have been 'scanned' While this is not a full guarantee for safety, it's the best I could think off. The scanners I used were: https://apkscan.nviso.be/ and https://anubis.iseclab.org/

App won't install on my i9500 running 5.0.2.

Is this safe to use?
Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk

The idea behind the app sounds really nice. There are still some countries where mobile internet is quite expensive for the mb like here in Germany. (Contract is one year old and I pay 25€ for 500mb with calls and stuff).
Runs on my Xperia z1 with cm12 but the performance isn't the best yet. But I am looking forward for the future patches.

It is safe.

Edit: Nevermind, it works.

Installed and worked on my M7 running 5.0.2...but it was buggy and the scrolling lagged like hell. I like the idea...but they need to work out some kinks.

Thank you so much! I can confirm this to work on the Xperia Z3v, the Z3 variant for Verizon!

Installed and Working fine on OnePlus One running a flavor of CM12. Scrolling is bad. Real bad. Scrolling is actually very smooth on facebook mobile site in a browser or a site wrapper app. But it supports notifications so thats a plus. Guess I am going to official heavy weight app for now but will be checking again to see if there are improvements.
