LTE = Long Term Evelution

4G does NOT mean LTE unless it is specified as "4GLTE". 4G is and has always had a variety of meanings but for AT&T it means "HSPA+ with advanced backhaul. You know AT&T...the network that sells the Skyrocket? SkyRocket... you know the forum you are posting in?

I live in the USA...you know, the country that the SkyRocket is sold in? So it doesn't really matter how they sell the international version of the GSIII, we will get the USA (North American) variant. And this post is about porting over software from the GSIII to the Skyrocket.

It's clear that any advice would be wasted on you. And it is also clear that you go from thread to thread trying to pick fights. However, you will have to find someone else to pick one with because this is the last reply you will get from me and hopefully, the thread can get back on target. Goodnight.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] kr3w1337:
I'm not trying to find fights at all. Also, regardless of what your stupid American marketing says 4G means LTE. Officially it is the standard adopted by the entire world by the GSMA

You can read about it here: http://www.informationweek.com/news/203101622

Now if your done arguing facts you'd remind yourself that Samsung is not an American company so when they say 4G, they aren't talking about HSPA only per se (unconfirmed because nobody has the phone).

For you to think otherwise is just plain ignorant and last time I checked just because skyrocket was brand name given to the North American model doesn't mean those are the only people here and AT&T is the only carrier that we need to look at. Skyrocket isn't sold in the USA either, it is sold in several other countries with a different name, your self centered view hinders you from seeing that though.

Lastly, I did make proper suggestions about what would be cool to port over so I was on topic prior to all of this, if you actually read then you would know that, just like you'd know more about the phone you hold and the standards you use.

Now quit being ignorant and stop thinking I'm trying to pick a fight.

No LTE in the version you were looking at in the press event. It's an HSPA+ version. LTE will come later.

So like other Galaxy...we will have to wait to see what comes across the pond. And unless Samsung has some magic up their sleeves, nobody has any knowledge as of yet of a Exynos processor that can work with an LTE radio. And I'll be honest, if they had one waiting, I kinda think they would have mentioned it. No reason to NOT announce that the LTE will be quad-core with all the rumors flying that it won't be.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] g2tegg:
Your right. No LTE as of yet. Doesnt matter for most people in Canada anyways. I think in Ontario only Toronto and Ottawa has it, the rest of the province is stuck with HSPA+.

Every time I hear "4G" it makes me chuckle. HSPA+ is the same as HSPA, only difference being "mimo" technology. Therefore, it is still 3G.

That being said, the only technology thats "true 4G" would then be LTE.

A little more info about the QuadCore and LTE possibility...

http://news.cnet.com/8301-1001_3-57...d-core-arm-race/?part=rss&subj=news&tag=title

While smartphones in the U.S. market are moving in force to LTE 4G, this is not necessarily happening in other parts of the world. Because Qualcomm delivers the processors and LTE on one piece of silicon, it makes sense for U.S. carriers to use Qualcomm's highly-integrated design.

Quad-core phones must use a separate chip to deliver LTE, which adds cost and can take a toll on battery life.

"There are 150 plus designs in development using S4. Most of those are with two cores and integrated LTE because there's huge benefits to having LTE built in," according to McDonough.

But if this statement sounds like Qualcomm isn't serious about quad-core, guess again. A quad-core Snapdragon S4 is coming in the second half this calendar year, McDonough said. "That will have a [separate] LTE chip sitting next to it," he said.

He continued. "Quad-core with integrated LTE is a matter of customer demand. It's very possible to do. As soon as you think you've met performance requirements, people come up with innovative things they can do with a phone. So, we're perfectly able to build LTE into a quad-core that goes into a phone," he said.

So it is possible but hasn't been done...yet.

Will it be possible to port over the sbeam as we already have android beam but that does not work while you're sending stuff from your gallery i.e movies or pics etc.

I have been trying to find that out if someone can help me with that currently I have the gs3 from for skyrocket which doesn't give me gesture calling which I'm not much worried about but really want the s beam .... can anyone help me with this?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] raynan:
The only major differences I've seen from the 2 devices (at least from AT&T) is an extra gig of RAM and the screen quality. So, porting most of the apps shouldn't be tough, but, multitasking (like the video and app functionality) could be a problem.

Do they work as advertised? (For example I have never used voice activtion/commands/speech to text on any phone since it was introduced because it does not work in real world)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] whosgotlag:
S-Voice is a little choppy, but I think it's choppy on the GSIII too. Smart Stay is meh, sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't. I removed it too. You'd be surprised on how accurate speech to text is though. Just enunciate and speak a little slower. You'll maybe have to change a word or two (Stock ICS keyboard + Swiftkey)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Mike:
To be honest most things are easier to just type but weather is really nice and easy. Svoice is not a game changer. Smart stay didn't work well and I disabled it shortly after install and removed it entirely shortly after that. It was a cool idea but not delivered well

The menu softkey is usually a series of 3-4 dots stacked up. Either in the lower left next to the recent apps softkey, or sometimes in the upper right.

Oka..

I have seen this and I noticed that with apex and nova the menu button does not show when on home screen.. I have been using aokp and manually enabled menu however once pressed it does nothing.. This would indicate to me that when in tablet mode these launchers disable the menu.. Most likely have to open the application draw then press the menu in top right corners.. OR put a shortcut to the apex settings on your home screen

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] marc.ientilucci:
So with the release of the Galaxy S III comes what Google should have had when they included NFC into its Android OS. IMO, one of the best features of the new SIII is the S Beam (enhanced NFC technology enabling transfer of files with Wi-Fi Direct from what i understand). Now i see the G Nex has wi-fi direct in its settings. Would this be something that can be ported over to the Galaxy Nexus?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jackslim:
Isn't Android Beam the same thing, which is included in Android 4.x.x
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ryan stewart:
It is except for sending large files over wifi direct.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
Read up on Bluetooth 3.0 and 4.0 specs. Samsung branded tech that is already established.

let it be.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] earlyberd:
All that S Beam is doing is using NFC to initiate the communication by sending MAC and IP address details, and then the phones create an ad-hoc wifi network to transfer the files. Wifi Direct is already built into Android 4.0, Samsung just made some fancy scripts to initiate it through NFC.

The real challenge with something like this is integrating hooks or plugins that add support for all the various data and file types you want to be able to send over Wifi Direct. A lot of apps don't have an action set for when you're trying to use Android Beam, such as the Gallery app or your favorite file manager, and this is because Android Beam doesn't yet initiate a Wifi Direct session like what S Beam does.

The quick and dirty solution to this is to write an app that imitates S Beam without needing Touchwiz, and just add it as another "Share" option when you're viewing files stored on your device. It's an extra step for the user since it's not going to hook into the app automatically, but it will integrate nicely with any app that has the built in sharing function. For instance, this means when you're viewing something in the Gallery nothing is going to happen automatically when you hold up your phone to someone else's, but once you hit the Share button you'll get the option to send it over Wifi Direct.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] marc.ientilucci:
with this tech thats established, am i able to tap phones together to share files? If so that'd be great!! i was hoping for exact replication of what S Beam provides. Ease of Use - tap the phones together and instantly share files. If i have to swipe down to activate bluetooth and then choose what file i want to send, its not as intuitive as tapping two phones together.

:confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
All um saying is the tech is already there and Samsung put an s on it. It needs to be implemented of course. By app, os or whatever. And our phones have 4.0 but only 3.0 is on spec sheet.

let it be.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chrono_Tata:
I remember when the Nexus first came out people were suggesting the same exact solution for sending large files, but no one seemed really interested in it (probably because NFC-enabled phones aren't very widespread). Good to see Samsung has led the way in this and hopefully Google will put the feature in AOSP at some point.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
The tech is there. Bluetooth by itself isn't very efficient for larger files or greater than across small room distance. Nfc is just for links and small images really. I did transfer a few gigs in a reasonable time using astro Bluetooth. I don't know for sure if anything is actually using the wifi part when bt 3/4.0 is lacking. I am guessing that Samsung is putting it out there now. Google needs to step up the game with nfc, wallet and bt 3/4.0. USB mass storage would be a lot less of an issue for more people. But so would having more storage on the phone also.

let it be.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mcreokhan:
S Beam and Android Beam is the same thing,,,,, Anybody thought about S Voice? It would be groundbreaking if anybody could port it :D :D :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chad_Petree:
What do you mean we have 4 but only 3 in the specsheetq?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Anthonok:
Basically Samsung pulled an apple by "inventing"something new
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
Bluetooth.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Skidro:
wifi direct on gnex

So, the only problem is that the nexus doesn't have the software to s beam, BUT it has the hardware. I've tried every ROM imaginable for my Nexus and the s3 touchwiz5. Bluetooth seems like it would take the fun out of beaming.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hybrid2102:
This is not true. S Beam is an "enhanced" version of Android Beam. Android Beam is intended to share very little files... like contacts file... for example you can't share an image!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
S beam is very possible with the nexus. Google needs to flip the switch on the bt 4.0 we have in our hardware.

...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Miikhail:
Why do you keep talking about bluetooth? S Beam uses wifi-direct. I'm pretty sure wifi direct is faster than bluetooth I could be mistaken though. I hope this soon becomes a reality!

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
Still havent read up on 4.0 specs?

...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] saltmine:
What's your point? Bluetooth 4.0 and Wifi-Direct are not the same thing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
Wooooow.

...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] saltmine:
S-Beam uses NFC+Wifi-Direct. How does Bluetooth have any relation to this topic whatsoever? Can you just post a link or state your point rather than continuing to be ambiguous and acting like a smartass?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
Nfc is bluetooth. There is no need for s beam. The hardware is already there.

...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] saltmine:
NFC is a low frequency, low range standard, while Bluetooth is a high frequency, medium range standard. Bluetooth also has a much higher bit rate than NFC. I think you mean that they can be on the same chip, but that doesn't mean they are the same thing.

S Beam combines two different communication standards. Sure, Samsung didn't invent either one of them, but it is still a new product to combine them into a unified service.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
Orly? Focused on the marketing so much and i guess you wont see what s beam is. My money is on s beam being bt 4.0 or a tweaked bt 4.0. But i digress now. I actually looked it up. Later nerds.

...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sl_hasl:
I don't understand why keep on relate NFC with Bluetooth, they are 2 totally deference things.

As far as i know S Beam using NFC to establish communication between 2 device(or in Bluetooth they call it pair) then transfer file using WIFI Direct. So for Galaxy Nexus is maybe possible but need some software.:D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] superchilpil:
Childish? He won't se what s beam is because he disagrees with you?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] limcheehow:
@rbiter has totally no idea what he's talking about...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chad_Petree:
S beam to me is by far one the best features the galaxy s iii has and yes I know it's just nfc +wifi direct but you give Samsung props since they actually implemented software to use it, the Nexus has wifi direct but there's no app that uses it and nfc pretty much works just with Google wallet.

I'm hoping something similar to s beam will be implemented in 4.1
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] msedek:
Well I got cm9 and i can create a virtual router and add devices via wifi direct.. Meaning I can share anything with wifi direct... Cm9 had it some time ago
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tehgyb:
...what about Android beam which is a stock ics feature?? Same thing IMO
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chad_Petree:
You can't share pictures, music files with android beam
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dinomight:
Lets do it.

It seems we can emulate the functionality with our own app. Here is the path i;m guessing is used..

1.Device 1/2 detects an nfc device.

2.They exchange wifi-direct ids

3.Using the wifi-direct api's (in android sdk) they establish connection.

4.a "Server" is created and device sends data to "server" which writes the data/file/image/link to the filesystem, intent or something else.

5. server confirms recieve

6. wifi-direct connection is closed

wifi-direct is a simple p2p over regular wifi connections(but limited to the set of established devices.... in this case our two exchanging devices)

THe issues i see in developing the app are:

1. What does the nfc device id transfer look like.

2. how does the wifi-direct connection created and the file sent.

#1. This one will be hard to do, but it will be fun to figure out. (fingers crossed that they don't sign/encrypt that exchange)(maybe we build our own exchange for a completely custom job.... there is a high probability that this exchanged encrypted.

#2.The wifi direct protocol (which is in the android sdk) has interfaces for transferring data. It is likely that sammy used this since it's in the sdk api. I know that's how i'd do it (since it's easiest).

I'll take a look at what i can . It's a little hard to without my own gsIII. but a friend might give me a lend (at very very short intervals.

It would be really cool to have an app for this possibly inserted in to the os of a rom.

Stay tuned, who knows maybe i can at least figure something out (Don't ask an eta i'm notoriously bad and estimating time). Most likely i'll return with nothing. :) I'm not all that skilled
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CyberPunk7t9:
Actually, this guy is right.

Android Beam, basically, uses NFC to authenticate the devices before it temporarily turns on Bluetooth to the send the files.

You can try it for yourselves, check your Bluetooth stats while receiving or sending a beam and I'm pretty sure you will see it toggled on.

Samsung's S-Beam uses the same initiation of authenticating both parties using NFC, but instead of Bluetooth, it uses Wi-Fi Direct to send the files over.

You can try this BETA app in Google Play to send files via Wi-Fi direct using any capable device (non-NFC ones too, like the SGS 2):
