[APP][4.0.3+] SuperBeam | Easy & Fast File Sharing with WiFi-Direct | NFC/QR Pairing

Quick update on 4.0: we've released a new version (4.0) on Google Play. I'll update the thread with features later on. Just a quick note on compatibility: we've dropped support for Gingerbread because it is becoming a huge obstacle towards developing the app. Apologies for inconvenience.

Quick update #2: If the QR scanner is not working for you after the new update, please DM me as soon as possible. I can see error reports on Crashlytics but no one reached to cooperate in resolving the issue.

SuperBeam is the easiest and fastest way to share files between Android devices using WiFi Direct (or tethering mode for older devices). Devices can be paired using QR Code scanning (with the included scanner) or NFC if available (just like Samsung's proprietary S-Beam).

Features:

Share files between devices using NFC or QR code scanning.

Blazing fast transfer speeds using WiFi direct.

Switches to hotspot mode automatically for devices that doesn't support WiFi direct.

Can use existing WiFi network connection between devices.

Share single or multiple files of any type (photos, videos, zip files, APK's... You name it!)

Share with devices that do not have SuperBeam using web interface.

Works with all 3rd party file managers and photo galleries.

Light and dark color themes.

Automatically disable mobile data (3G/4G) connection while sharing with other devices, to prevent them from eating through your data plan.

Be SuperAwesome and support the future development of SuperBeam. This is just the beginning, and we have much more to surprise you with!

* Currently, SuperBeam for PC does not support WiFi Direct. Hence, both your computer and your Android device must be connected to the same WiFi network in order to share files.

A note about WiFi direct

SuperBeam creates an access point using Android's WiFi direct API's. This essentially works like hotspot mode in old devices, but it is guaranteed to work on newer devices like Nexus 7. Moreover, this mode allows older devices to connect and receive files without having to support WiFi direct's peer-to-peer connections and, more importantly, it gets rid of the annoying "accept connection" prompt.

Also, please note that this mode is currently supported by Android versions 4.1 and greater. On older versions, SuperBeam will fallback to the older hotspot mode.

If sending fails

Sometimes, WiFi direct doesn't play well when sending from some devices (especially those that have custom ROMs). Please follow these steps to switch to hotspot (tethering) mode if WiFi direct is causing you issues (on the sending device):

Open SuperBeam scanner.

Tap options > settings.

Tap Advanced settings > Preferred direct method.

Choose Hotspot.

Close SuperBeam and try sharing again.
