Can't change save location. I bought PRO.

Hi. I really like this app, so I bought PRO, so I could change the save location to my ext. SD card. But the option is "greyed out" I can't change the location at all.

I use a Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5 model T805 with stock Android 4.4.2 only rooted.

Can anyone help me? :confused:

Thanks a lot ?

I will try this.
[Android Apps and Games] ruinses:
Thank for advice.

Reinstall several times already.

Still can not be saved to an external memory.

Waiting for the bugs to be fixed.
[Android Apps and Games] OliMic:
I just realized, that it still does not work on my Samsung Galaxy tab S 10.5 T805. However it works great, on my Samsung Galaxy s4. Both run android 4.4.2 and both are rooted.

I have tried uninstalling PRO several times, and still I can't save files on my external sd card.

Any ideas?

I just used SuperBeam for the first time and overall I was pretty impressed but the transfer rate started at 1.5 MB/s and slowly increased to about 18. Is this unavoidable or can something be done to improve performance off the bat?

How do I transfer the unlocked version of my Superbeam from an old device to a new device?
[Android Apps and Games] arjiegodz:
in 4.4.2 the external sd card is read only. therefore maybe u cant edit whats inside on it, i guess?

KitKat restricts data to be written on memory card so it is a software version restriction,you need to be rooted and change the build prop a little to get past that, say 4.3 version

How is this on lollipop ??
[Android Apps and Games] jamespinto87:
very slow on oneplus one

Hi

I have superbeam 3.1 and Android 4.4.4 on my Oneplus One, I get very slow speeds on receiving files, 3 to 4 mbps not more, on other low end phones also it goes upto 45-50mbps.

Please help it should'nt work so slowly on a high end phone like the Oneplus One
[Android Apps and Games] Mr..X:
It also depends upon type of file,use a large mkv file and notice speed,a number of small files disrupts speed too.

-WARNING, rant ahead-

THIS DOES NOT WORK ON Nexus 5. Are you kidding me? I get failed on Nexus 5 Android version 5.0 + I mean the phone that was meant for development doesn't get an app working on a higher Android version? Have you stopped development? Latest version is 3.1 and this hasn't been updated since when? July 16, 2014? WTH? Where's the development? Where is the material design? This is why Android is suffers from fragmentation, neither the ones who get updates are fully satisfied with the new features/updates because of lazy devs. Or because people can't even update to KitKat when the device is hard to develop ROMs for yet has potential for Lollipop even.

EDIT: why is there a support site if I'm just gonna site for hours waiting it for redirect? Heck I'm not even sure if you will see this post.
[Android Apps and Games] nicesoni_ash:
Wow, what a way to ask for support, kudos...

Whoops, forgot to add rant in it.
[Android Apps and Games] majedev:
I totally understand your frustration. Android 5.0 has been a rough ride for us as we were working on re-writing almost everything from scratch to bring even more powerful features for the app. Rest assured, the issues will be resolved very soon (along with a delicious material design!).
[Android Apps and Games] SA3DX:
Sorry for the rant though, I thought development had stopped. Me and my friend are total enthusiasts that greatly love your app, we got frustrated when we upgraded to lollipop and and we couldn't send stuff using your app. I've been looking for alternatives but your app has always been the best. Sorry again. I wish that update comes soon.
[Android Apps and Games] majedev:
@Everyone:

Sorry for not updating you for a very long time. SuperBeam has gone through a huge transition and the team has joined forces with LiveQoS, an innovative cutting-edge networking solutions company. We have huge plans and more refined development process that will bring you unmatched features.

Today we're happy to announce the release of SuperBeam for iOS, which can send and receive from any device running SuperBeam (Android, iOS or PC). You may get it from here:

http://superbe.am/gettheapp

(For now, the PRO version is up. We're waiting for the free version to be approved by AppStore, and will update you accordingly)

Thank you for the patience, we're making sure that it will be worth it!

Oh and one last thing:
[Android Apps and Games] Iceman_jkh:
[MENTION=3767112]majedev[/MENTION] Looks nice :)

I'm interested in purchasing SB PRO but was wondering if you could tell me whether the app would work for my situation (because I can't tell based on the descriptions for the PRO version - which in fairness are only a summary for Google Play).

I have a Nexus 7 (2013), running Lollipop, installed as a music player in my car. I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 (KK 4.4.4) as my everyday phone.

I want to setup SB so that it will:

1. Automatically connect and pair with my phone (preferably via Wifi Tether, as I already 'automagically' create a Wifi-tether between the two devices when they come in range), (I don't want to have to NFC scan or barcode or Passkey, I'd like SB to remember the pairing)

2. Autosync newer folder contents "x" (from phone) TO folder "y" (on Nexus) - One direction only, and

3. Allow different content types to be sent (and synced) (by default) to different directories on the target (eg: Music goes to "/sdcard/music", videos go to "/sdcard/videos/", etc.).

Lastly, does/will SB PRO support Tasker? (This would be amazing)

(I would like to automate a few of the more complicated tasks.)

Kind regards. :)
[Android Apps and Games] SA3DX:
[MENTION=3767112]majedev[/MENTION] sorry, but as someone who resurrected this thread again. I'm going to ask the cruelest question ever to a dev. When is that beautiful Android app coming out? And kudos for the iOS app, that would have been a suggestion I would have suggested myself. But I wanted to make sure development is still alive.

File Manager that allows Send To on a folder to Superbeam

Between an S4, and a tablet:

Would like to use Total Commander and long press a folder and send to Superbeam for transfer. I get a QR code, and scan on other device .... transfer seems to start, but does not: msg says transfer canceled by sender.

This functionality would be very useful.

How to make it work ?

If not TC, what file manager can do this?

Thanks,Ed

Hi,

When i press the Receive button on Superbeam on my PC (Windows 7 64 bits) it starts to open but then suddenly closes. Can't receive any files. What's wrong?

Thanks.

[MENTION=231896]dev[/MENTION] any updates?

I know you mentioned a material UI upgrade and some new features.

I'm keen to hear what new features will be in this upgrade and when, as I'm going to pull the trigger on buying either this app or a similar one shortly.
[Android Apps and Games] boardlord:
I wonder if anyone has experienced the following:

This came up between using Wifi Direct an N7 2013 and an N4, both running CM11 M12. After using either NFC or a QR code the transfer fails to start because the phone and the tablet (and vice-versa) couldn't connect to each other. I can see in Wifi settings that the connection fails because the receiver cannot get an IP address after the successful authentication. To me it looks the same when a device wants to connect to an access point, which doesn't have DHCP enabled...

Only hotspot mode works for me...

Issues with Superbeam Pro version

Hi . i am using superbeam pro version. Superbeam is great, that's why i bought a pro version, But also i am facing some problems.

Cant able to select my external card as default save location

When sending a file from mobile to PC, file transfer rate is slow.

* External SD card Problem - I am using Liquid Smooth 4.4.4 with SD card fix. My External SD card is not even listed in default save location settings in Superbeam. I think many users already posted here. But no fix so far. Will it be updated in future release or atleast a reply for this issue!!

* Slow transfer from mobile to PC - When transferring a big file from mobile to PC, superbeam in mobile say transfer rate is 19.1 Mbps but file is receiving only at 3 Mbps in PC. don't know whats the problem???
[Android Apps and Games] epdm2be:
Why are those users so hooked up on that material design. It sucks!

- The simplified icons (without shadows nor detail) look ugly!

- The all white infused backgrounds are a disaster for AMOled equipped devices (including those new Nexus 6) with regards to battery consumption.

- The all white backgrounds are a disaster at night or in dark places.

Google should have improved that Holo design. It's way more suitable (and thought out) and looks way cooler for Android IMHO.

I guess this is what happens when the lead creator of Android goes away. Then all the no-****-ofr-brains take over and mess things up.

So please. NO Material design! Make the app just cool the way YOU want it to be. I like it actually the way it is. I'm definitely not asking for a "design" change. Also I see that a lot of apps have problems with Android 5.0. Why does it breaks so much stuff? Isn't it better to just stay with 4.x then?

Use ES explorer. It can open ZIP and RAR files and create ZIP-files :)

BTW. I tried Superbeam for PC and had the following issue.

You have to know I have a PCI-TV-card and an USB webcam connected to my PC.

When I use the receive button to receive a file (and use the webcam to catch the QR-code), it uses my TV-card instead of my USB-webcam. Is there a way to choose the proper webcam device?
[Android Apps and Games] Iceman_jkh:
So when will we see this update on the Play store?

And what are these new features?

I'd like to purchase, but holding out just to make sure the app isn't a step backwards after this update (as unfortunately does occasionally happen when 'huge transitions' occur).

Fingers crossed, your update is a huge step forward :)
[Android Apps and Games] Ampicillin:
I am not able to use this app at all. I tried so many times but it keep on telling me "Connection dropped" when I try to send files from my PC to Mobile.

PS. How do I connect both mobile and superbeam to same WiFi ID? I don't have broadband or WiFi at the home but I use data network in the phone. So, I turn hotspot in the phone and when connect to my PC and try to send file my hotspot gets deactivated automatically and I get connection drop error same thing happens when I try to send files using phone back to PC any solutions?

Okay, Thank you. I did used SuperBeam yesterday with my friend's HTC device and was able to transfer 300 MB file in just seconds. Sad that I cannot transfer any files using my PC.

So... is this app still being developed? :/

I saw the dev's 'update coming soon' comment a few weeks back but there's been complete silence since then (even though the dev has been around the forums recently).

Anyone able to comment? Is he communicating on another forum/elsewhere?
[Android Apps and Games] josuearisty:
Yes, it is still alive!
[Android Apps and Games] Iceman_jkh:
I hope so.

Really hanging for this update! [emoji2]
[Android Apps and Games] Iceman_jkh:
I bought PRO in order to use the PC to Android file transfer functionality.... however after exploring that feature a few times I refunded my purchase.

Superbeam does not have a very easy/efficient way of copy files to my android device (IMHO). The PC program allows me to select the files, yet I must still scan a (pc generated) QR code in order to actually perform the transfer. This (IMHO) is anything but convenient - especially if you need to copy files every few hours to one device or another.

I've not written Superbeam off, but I would like to know if the new version will improve the PC->Android transfer functionality? As it currently stands, its PC-> Android file transfer component is inferior to other apps (some of which are not even file transfer apps by nature).

Hopefully the new version of Superbeam will allow the user to define a list of 'trusted' devices that can simply be chosen from (and the files are then sent without further fuss).. or perhaps even allowing the user to send files via windows shell (right-click) to any of those trusted devices.

Again, it's rather disappointing that we've not heard from the dev in quite a while.

Permissions

Hi,

The new update looks cool ;), but I have a question about all the new permissions - there are quite a few. In particular, the app requests permission to access contacts and I have some private details in there. I wonder why would you need that permission in the first place, if not for the ad support. I have the Pro version if that matters. Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] adl:
Guess it's because you can send now contacts over superbeam and in this way it needs to have access to them.
[Android Apps and Games] goliath969:
Permission follow up

That's OK I guess, but I'd like to see a permission policy in the app description just in case. I think that would be for the best for both the dev and the users.
[Android Apps and Games] ch3mn3y:
Is it really 2.3+? Coz free app says 4.0.3+ is a minimum and pro says 2.3.3+
[Android Apps and Games] legendaryDev:

[Android Apps and Games] majedev:
Some users also reported similar issues. We couldn't reproduce it on our test devices (including the N5), so it might be an issue with the ROM? Anyways, I'll probably DM you with a test APK to find the root cause of this.

Thanks for reporting.
[Android Apps and Games] majedev:
This has been fixed in consequent updates (on 4.0.2+).
[Android Apps and Games] majedev:
Working on it. Actually, we removed this feature on the last minute due to issues with some devices. Anyways, this should be available around the end of next week.
[Android Apps and Games] majedev:
Patience, my friend ;)
[Android Apps and Games] adl:
Please do so!

I am more than willing to help / test to get this amazing app back running on my Phone. :highfive:
[Android Apps and Games] majedev:
As mentioned, this is for the ability to share contacts through SuperBeam. Unfortunately, Android does not provide a method to share multiple contacts through the default contacts app (only one at a time), so we had to opt-in for this permission to give users the ability to send batch contacts.

Edit for READ_PHONE_STATE permission: on some Galaxy devices running Lollipop, we can't obtain/disable 3G connection without that permission (otherwise, the app crashes).

As an avid Android user, I do understand the concerns you may have. Hence, in the near future, we'll make sending contacts an optional plugin for those who need it, and remove the permission from the main app.
[Android Apps and Games] majedev:
Please see update on 1st post. We stopped supporting 2.3.x. I'm still trying to figure out a way to make the older version available on GPlay for devices running 2.3.
[Android Apps and Games] josuearisty:
What about the PRO feature about asking where to save files? It is not working now, it just shows that windows sometimes after transfer is done.

It is saving files as always to default folder.
[Android Apps and Games] majedev:
Looking into it, thanks for reporting.
[Android Apps and Games] Iceman_jkh:
Very interesting!

1. Will I be able to preconfigure certain devices (eg: MAC addresses?) to be 'trusted devices' (both PC and Android) and then the app will send (the file) directly to that device without any further actions/confirmations?

2. With that trusted device (from item 1) be able to either skip all forms of confirmation (including Save To location)...... OR be able to nominate the Save To directory on the target device (by entering it at the sending device) and still skip all other confirmations on the receiving device?

:)
[Android Apps and Games] josuearisty:
Easy easy boy!
[Android Apps and Games] Iceman_jkh:
I'm only asking because if not, then I have no need for SuperBeam (no offence intended), and will use my existing workarounds.

If yes, then I'm happy to purchase pro. :)
