hey, I'm sorry to bump this thread but I'm having issues as well. it looks like it's trying to transfer the file via bluetooth right and the default folder is in the sdcard (folder)
I'm testing it now but I'm just creating a folder for Bluetooth in /storage/sdcard0/Bluetooth now and it seemed to work, trying on my other nexus now.
EDIT:
nope... i got one file to send but i don't know why the others won't...

Well I'm trying to transfer from my galaxy nexus to my nexus 10. Think I figured it it. I turned my Bluetooth off on my phone and then beamed it again and it works fine now. Try it out and see what happens.

Don't let the bluetooth be engaged!!
When ever nfc activates to share something, the bluetooth is activated as well. Most of the times when tha bluetooth turns on, it starts searching the paired devices to conect with. And in that case the bluetooth gets engaged and does not allow the nfc beam to complete..
You could either wait a little for the bluetooth to stop trying to connect with paired device.. Or just hit forget the paired device and then beam.
It should work as intended..
Is anybody having any issues with NFC? I have NFC always on, but most of the times it doesn't work (doesn't read the tag), unless I open the magic tag app: the NFC icon is always there, but it looks like it gets deactivated somehow: I tried enabling the performance mode, but the issue is still there...
Thanks,
GM

Is the app protected in phone manager, battery?
NFC is an hardware feature, it looks like it becomes inactive and the only way to make it work is open an application that uses it, or turn it off and on again, and this behaviour makes it useless..

I am using it quite often and I did not have this issue. I have it always turned on and it never turned off. Which rom do you have? (B1**) because in the last update they have done some changes.
However since I have never seen a H8 with this problem a factory reset might help.

NFC is hardware but requires software like IR. And battery management and memory management sometimes messes with them.
Try backup (Huawei native backup app), factory reset and restore.

I checked and both magic tag and nfc service are set not to be optimized: I can't find magic tag in the list of the protected apps though.....
Have you factory reset it? No one complains about it
Definitely not a problem on mine either. Maybe if you tried a factory reset like mentioned previously, or ensured you're running the latest version of firmware
Some recently installed app could have messed with it. Try a factory reset and check with the apps as you install it.
hello, mine is not working at all. may be a hardware problem? i just got the phone and i couldn't do the tap to transfer with my old phone, and i can't read tags i made with trigger. also the native app won't read them. of course nfc is on
I realized that the NFC doesn't work when you place the honor 8 back to back with another phone. The receiver for the NFC seems to be at the top, so what I tried was pointing the top of the phone towards the back of another phone and it worked.

That's kinda bad, but not as bad as Sony's placement (at the front)
I have never encountered this problem with my H8.Try factory reset,if that does not work then maybe there is a problem with the rom you are currently using.

True!That's odd
It is indeed very odd, I spent hours fuming that I might have purchased a faulty device but I just thought to try it and bingo. Small annoyance when compared to how nice of a phone the H8 is overall.
Since I don't use NFC very much, I don't any issues with placement, but it annoys me a little when using it.

NFC Service Optimized? Magic Tag Optimized>?
How? Where is Magic Tag? I can't find it as well... Help!
For me, the NFC problems (which were severe) were fixed with the Nougat update.
In Setting > Lock screen and Security > Smart Lock > Trusted devices > Add trusted Device ..... there is no option for NFC tag. Why is that? It only lets me add bluetooth device. I have NFC tag that I want to use to unlock, but I can't find that in Trusted devices.
Any hints?
Thanks
Still looking for a way to add NFC tag under SmartLock. It worked when I had Nexus 6P. What am doing differently with S8?
tasker + secure settings will do what you want.
Why can't I do it using SmartLock? This was available on Nexus 6P, and it is a standard Android feature. Is it a bug in Samsung S8 software?
Does everyone with stock S8+ have the same issue? Is there really no NFC tag option in Setting > Lock screen and Security > Smart Lock > Trusted devices > Add trusted Device ?
Before firmware update I can used this without problem but now I can't found this settings.
Well then this is a bug. How do we report it to Samsung? I need to unlock my phone when it's on NFC tag, without rooting my phone.
Got an update from Samsung last night, but this bug is still not fixed. No NFC option under SmartLock
It's not just Samsung bug. NFC Smart lock also disappeared on Lineage OS on my Nexus 5 and with out any system updates. I've read that it has to something with Google play services and it's missing from some other phones too.
I need the solution right now. It's very annoying[emoji58]

NFC Smart Unlock was also removed on the Google Pixel phones with a 7.1.2 update and is still gone in the 8.0.0 (Oreo) update I just installed now. It was likely removed because it was buggy and stopped working on some phones (like mine).

Did you read the post above yours? It explains why. And this is S8+ forum, not Zenfone forum....
Googled removed it due to lack of use. If you have an old NFC tag paired, it'll still work, but no way to add new ones
This is pretty disappointing... I had looked into getting an NTAG216 chip encapsulated in glass implanted, with unlocking my phone as one of the possible novel uses of it, but I guess I can forget that!
I guess we need some tweaks to get back NFC Smart Lock feature, like Magisk, scripts type of method and all that by all means.
Is there somebody who knows how Google blocked it technically?Assuming the culprit must be Google Play Services, though, if so, we done...?

I think it isn't a bug... And it is not removed on purpose... I am running the latest Software for my Smasung S8+ (7.1.1) and I can still add NFC Tags. Under SMart Lock I go to trusted devices and then add NFC tag. I already have two NFC tags in there, so I dont know if this feature is still availible to me because I added one on Version 7.0 so maybe you had to add one earlier to still have this option unlocked which wouldnt make any sence tho... I suggest you try the app NFC Tools Pro and NFC Tasks (like tasker) which both work together very well and let you allow to unlock you phone with the tag.
Best regards
I have found a workaround, though it requires root and manually editing a preferences file.

For some time now I own a Honor View 10. Back when I got it I paired my Sony Smartwatch 3 with the phone. I experienced that the watch sometimes loses connection to the phone and I had to restart the watch. That was not necessary with my old OnePlus 3. I thought it was the watch going bad because it had some other problems, too.
However, I recently got a Huawei Watch 2 and paired it to my Honor View 10. With the new watch, the problem still exists. Sometimes it loses connection to the phone without showing it. Sleep tracking with Sleep as Android does not get recorded or the watch app does not get the information my alarm is dismissed, notifications are still shown on the watch despite being already swiped away on the phone, new notifications do not get shown on the watch. It can only be resolved by turning off bluetooth on my Honor View 10 and turning it back on then. Sometimes I even need to reboot my watch.
Has anyone else experienced same problems on his or her Honor View 10 or has a smartwatch paired without any problems? For me it seems like the Bluetooth stack went bad on my Honor View 10.
I have exactly the same issue. My phone was fine on stock b130 but went wrong on subsequent updates. I believe the issue is a shared WiFi and Bluetooth stack. I installed Carbon ROM which works and doesn't suffer from this issue - the only problem i have is that I can't play my music collection from the external SD card with the stock music player or my normal one - have to use Poweramp or Rocket etc or copy files to the internal for system.

I have similar issue.
My main concern is that my sleep tracker on the Smartwatch doesn't work when the phone goes to sleep.
So the sleep tracking is useless.
Did anyone else have this problem and now importantly a solution?

wjhat i found was the battery manager was killing off the connection, set it to manual management and no issues since
I got problems pairing my Honor Band3 with my Honor V10 (AICP13.1) After 2 hours of trying i could suddenly pair my device with the tracker. For me i didnt succed to pair this device also with a Huawei AH100 (body fat scale)... Anybody an idea? I have de(installed) the Huawei Health app, deleted Bluetooth cache and data, no success. With an Axon 7 (also running AICP13.1) and a Huawei P10 (AICP13.1 also) i got connection within seconds... No problems to connect the View 10 to an Anker soundbox or an Samsung bluetooth keyboard....

I think it's issue with custom ROM rather than the watch.
May be you can capture logs and send it to the developer.
I would think that, too, but the joke is, that its exactly the same Rom on the Huawei P10 as on the Honor v10: I flashed the same romfile (for the beverley aka V10) onto the Huawei p10 (where the Huawei Body AH100 is definetly recognized by the health-app and runnig correctly) without any error (exept the ota app that leads to an error like this: "the ota app has stopped running") so i tried in the developer options ("networking") with setting different bluetooth AVRCP- Versions (1.3 -1.6) ...

ROM is same but hardware is different hence there is a possibility of software compatibility issues.
But it would be very strange, that the hardware for that the ROM ist made (HonorV10) does not work, while the not really fitting hardware (Huawei p10) will work. Dont you agree?

P10 is Kirin 960 where as hv10 is Kirin 970 and Bluetooth versions are different hv10 has different and updated Bluetooth version than p10 hence it doesn't look strange to me.
Hi, I have a Xiaomi 10 pro
just updated to MIUI12
ever since then my watch has a "watch" logo on top which means is not not connected to bluetooth.
I have reset the phone's network setting a couple of times.
the watch is also reset.
I have used the Galaxy Wearable to connect the watch. It detected the watch and seems connected (but under bluetooth menu it just saved the watch setting without indicated connected)
the it stuck at the "finishing pairing" page.
Whenever it asked me for permission i either allow it when the apps open or allow it all the time.
but it just stay in that finishing parining page over 20 minutes.
any body faced this problem after updated to MIUI 12?
I am still on Miui 11 but after last security update for June had loads of issues with constant disconnect and errors with Samsung Galaxy Active 2 watch.
Gonna get rid of this and get a Mi Band 5.
I know it's totally different device but not using all the functionality currently.

I want to stick to a watch instead of a sport band.
Anybody could hint me?
I have tried to connect the watch to an earbud, it works perfectly fine. quick pairing and working.
however it is just not the case with the phone.
again my phone is pairing perfectly with other devices too like my car, earbud, headset.
As i do workout quite often, all the data are store in the watch and not going to the phone. also it is not uploading to the database when it is already connected to WIFI.
I have the same problem, after MIUI 12 my galaxy gear s3 can't connect to the phone, bluetooth is trying to connect but connection failed.
Tried to factory reset phone and watch - nothing helps.
I have the global rom on my mi 10 pro. I was getting the watch not staying connected. I held down the Galaxy Wearable app, hit info, and turned on auto start, and I've been fine since. Oh, I am using Galaxy Active 1 though, not 2.

But it doesn't make sense when the bluetooth connection is not even staying conencted, there is not going to help with the app with auto restart. I have still gave it a try which didn't help much.
But Thank you for the input anyways.

Try clear WhatsApp App data, it will reset permissions and it should work again. You'll just have to backup and restore your whatsapp.

Also do you have a solution for the keyboard - when you reboot - it goes back to the default keyboard and not my preferred. Sugou Keyboard is therefore re-enabled as the default keyboard
