Any special caveats to make it work under stock kitkat? I have a nexus 5 and a nexus 10 under the same wifi network and they wont connect to each other using nfc to start the pairing...
[Android Apps and Games] Aashuk Mehta:
I really waiting for this update but most of the features I was looking for ended up on the paid side....why can't I pay cash Google???
[Android Apps and Games] SJD-Vampire:
Same here :(

I wish I could buy the pro and support the developer too.

One of the first apps I install on any android I own. Using since day one!

It's so unfortunate!
[Android Apps and Games] anandbibek:
I hope Google brings operator billing to us soon..
[Android Apps and Games] Droidlovinyogi:
majedev,

This is a fantastically brilliant app, and you've executed it's implementation with equal brilliance. I gladly bought the pro unlock key. I also installed the Windows PC application, and it works with the mobile app flawlessly with incredible speed! Thanks for your great work!
[Android Apps and Games] Aashuk Mehta:
When is the free activation codes going to distribute?
[Android Apps and Games] FCBMW:
Update

Latest update installed on my Nexus 5 rooted stock is causing the app to force close. I tried erasing cache and data, also uninstalling and reinstalling the app, but that doesn't solve the problem for me. Sent crash report.

I also have it installed on a Galaxy Tab2 10.1Wifi on 4.2.2 and a Galaxy S Plus on 4.3.1 and it works well there. It seems that this one is affecting just my Nexus 5 on 4.4.

Anyone else is having this problem?
[Android Apps and Games] majedev:
Updated the 1st post with new version information and a free activation key. Get it while it lasts!

Update: offer expired!
[Android Apps and Games] majedev:
So far, it has only been reported on Nexus 5. I mainly pushed the update to fix an issue on Galaxy Tab for PRO users, but it broke things on Nexus 5! Got your report, it looks like an Android bug that was triggered by some change I made, although I could not tell so far. Will keep looking for a possible solution. For now, please use the attached APK of a previous version (3.0.2).
[Android Apps and Games] AbhishekS:
Thank you so much. I didn't get the last point. "Please keep the key".

Do I need to take a backup of the app?
[Android Apps and Games] majedev:
No, you just need to memorize the key or write it down somewhere, as you have to use to re-activate SuperBeam in case you removed it (even after the offer is expired)
[Android Apps and Games] FCBMW:
Thanks for the unlock key, I installed that version, but still doesn't work.

I found the 3.0.1 version. Installed it, and worked! After that, I installed the 3.0.2 version you posted here and it still works.

Then I upgraded to 3.0.3 in the play store and it broke again. Unistall. Installed the 3.0.1 version again, and worked again. Then, I reinstalled the 3.0.2 version you posted here and now I'll keep this one as it works for me.

Attached the 3.0.1 version I found on the web.

UPDATE!!

I updated to Android KitKat 4.4.1 via OTA and tried updating the app again. It works! Great!
[Android Apps and Games] majedev:
Does the issue on your S4 started to occur only after update 3.0? Because SuperBeam always had an issue with on-contract phones since day 1, and there is nothing much I can do about it (there is a workaround, but it won't work with all receiving files).

Thanks for your feedback,,
[Android Apps and Games] iamelton:
this is a very useful app and thx for the upgrade key..
[Android Apps and Games] mykimouse:
Got it thanks.

I wonder how many users can use this key?
[Android Apps and Games] pratyush997:
Great App!

Thanks..
[Android Apps and Games] saurabh007:
Got free activation key.. Thanks mate.. Now trying transferring data from PC.. :)
[Android Apps and Games] harshalkatakia:
Hey, thanks a lot for the free pro features on this wonderful app!

Wanted to ask you if I just need to re activate with "xdafree" once I remove the app reinstall it again? Will the key be associated with my Google Play account so I can use it on other devices?

Thanks!

[MENTION=3767112]majedev[/MENTION]

I've activated pro successfully....

What if the limited tym is over & by phn got a factory reset?

Will the key work for me in future
[Android Apps and Games] Ayaz ansari:
Got pro thnx mate
[Android Apps and Games] majedev:
The key is associated with your device, so you may use it to reactivate after reinstalling at any time in the future, and it will just work!
[Android Apps and Games] majedev:
There is still plenty available :D
[Android Apps and Games] majedev:
Thanks for the update! I'm glad it was fixed. It's a huge relief, I literally had no idea how could the error you sent actually happen, unless Google broke something - and apparently, they did :D
[Android Apps and Games] AbhishekS:
Oh. So it won't work on my Nexus 5 once I get it? Anyway to connect the key with the Google profile?

It's completely fine if that's not possible. I won't even think twice before spending my money on this wonderful app.
[Android Apps and Games] majedev:
Thank you for your kind consideration.

Unfortunately, activation keys are only associated with devices. Association with Google account is possible, but I have to add GET_ACCOUNTS permission to SuperBeam, which is a very bad idea.

I wish that Google could offer a better alternative for distributing free promotional codes/installations through the Play store. It would save the devs a lot of hassle and shortcomings of providing their own implementation.
[Android Apps and Games] majedev:
Free upgrade offer expired! Enjoy your copy of SuperBeam PRO! Please rate the app on Google Play and provide feedback about your experience.
[Android Apps and Games] Aashuk Mehta:
What if I take a titanium backup of the pro app and restore it. Will the pro functions work?
[Android Apps and Games] majedev:
Only on the same device on which you took the backup. Remember: always use same key to reactivate if you ever happen to remove SuperBeam. You can find the activation key under Settings > About, in case you forgot it.

Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have re-activation issues (preferably on support [at] superbe.am)
[Android Apps and Games] Aashuk Mehta:
Thanks man I will buy the pro app as soon as I get a bank account

[Android Apps and Games] majedev:
Thanks for the headsup. Your point is noted and shall be considered in the upcoming update.
[Android Apps and Games] tylerdurden83:
I see that you have 3 nexus devices, I have 3 myself, gnex, nexus 5 and 10. I absolutely cannot let this app work on them between each other (while for example I received from a s2 no problem...)...

How did you configure it ti work between nexus devices? Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] aldroidx:
It works seamlessly on my gnex and nexus 7, no problems at all.
[Android Apps and Games] tylerdurden83:
Can you post your sending settings? Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] arjiegodz:
that would be great :D and i hope u can update the pc version that its ok to send even if i only use my fone as wifi tether and dont connect my fone to my lappy's wifi

:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:
[Android Apps and Games] iamelton:
my sending settings are just the defaults..

Turn off mobile data when sending -> checked

Always use connected WiFi -> unchecked

Custom settings -> untouched (i.e. Always ask for all networks)

Preferred direct method -> untouched (i.e. Auto)

Set hotspot name -> untouched

Set hotspot password -> untouched

i havent tried to install this in my N7.. it works between N4 and N5 though..

[Android Apps and Games] majedev:
Currently, SuperBeam for PC does not work well with tethering. I'm planning to make this possible in the near future.

Please test the attached APK, and inform me if it works, or if you get any specific error message. Thanks.

Today I have tried to copy all pics from my old phone to the new one and found out one unfortunate thing. The copy process didn't keep the original timestamps. Is it possible to preserve them?
[Android Apps and Games] majedev:
The beta build I attached here has the option to preserve timestamps (under receiving settings), however, it does not work on most devices (tested on GNex, N7 2012 & 2013) because of an inherent bug in Android, as reported here and here. Apparently, the only available workaround for this issue is to use root access, which is bad - to say the least.
[Android Apps and Games] tylerdurden83:
This is a step by step of what I did:

Delete data and cache of the previously installed Superbeam from both the Nexus 5 and Nexus 10 (both running stock unrooted 4.4.2 Kitkat)

Install the new apk on both

Leaving everything as default in the Superbeam settings, neither device connected to a wifi, I opened a file manager on the Nexus 10, selected a couple files, pressed the share icon, chose Superbeam, I got the Superbeam qr screen but decided to do the pairing via NFC, the sound triggered, pushed send from the Nexus 10, on the Nexus 10 the screen would return to the QR code, on the NExus 5 it would get to the big icon with the speed and time remaining bars and the trying to connect text would appear, until it fails a few seconds afterward.

I repeated the same test trying to send from N5 to N10, same deal

Then I opened the N10 settings, swapped from Auto to Hotspot, exited the app, entered a task manager to kill it just to be sure, retried the send, but still failed

Redid the same on the N5, this time selecting both hotspot and a new network name in the settings tab, but still nothing, connection fails
[Android Apps and Games] majedev:
Thank you very much for the detailed feedback.

When connection fails, you will see an error notification on the receiving device. Please tap it and tell me what the error message says.
[Android Apps and Games] tylerdurden83:
I'm truly lost. This is what I did today:

Restored the default settings on both Nexus 5 and 10 (so both on "auto" and they arent using my home wifi)

Opened the Nexus 5 Superbeam app, went to a folder, selected ONE ringtone, pressend the send arrow, paired them with nfc and to my big surprise the send completed successfully!

Then I thought, wait a second, maybe it's sharing from the File Manager app via Superbeam that is messing it up, it did work via Superbeam directly. I went to the file manager, selected 3 ringtones, pressed share via Superbeam, failed

Then I thought, wait another second, maybe the issue is sending multiple files at the same time, so I went back to Superbeam, selected a different ringtone, pressed the send arrow, paired with nfc, failed again

So yeah, once it worked for some reasons, the others it didn't. Here is the error message:

Do you want me to retry using "hotspot" mode instead of "auto"? But this thing that it did work the first time is truly puzzling me...

EDIT: I'm not 100% sure, but I think that the error message of the "official" app was slightly different than this one, which was obtained with the apk that you posted a couple pages back. Could be my mind playing tricks on me tho
[Android Apps and Games] Aashuk Mehta:
Hey majdev it would be nice if you can add a share app option also along with pictures, music and video
[Android Apps and Games] majedev:
Thanks again for the very detailed feedback! The error message suggests that both devices are connected to the same WiFi network. Try turning WiFi off on both devices before starting SuperBeam.

An yes, almost all error messages has changed in this beta build.
[Android Apps and Games] majedev:
Already working on that, thanks for the suggestion.
[Android Apps and Games] Marsealdelo:
I love this app, help me transfers files between laptop and android, :good:

i suggest to add "install apk" on desktop, like airdroid.. it'll make superbeam more perfect! ;)
[Android Apps and Games] tylerdurden83:
I'm sure that at least the sending one wasn't connected to my home wifi, possibly even the other one wasn't...

Incompatibility with ART runtime.

Hi!

My Nexus 7 (2013) is running Android KitKat 4.4.2. I recently switched to ART runtime from Dalvik runtime. It's not widely used yet since it is still unstable. Most apps work fine. Some just crash as soon as I open it — one of it is SuperBeam.

I hope you could provide an update supporting ART runtime in the future. ART, as what I have read in the internet, is likely to be a standard in Android 5.0. Not sure of its validity though.

Sure I could revert back to Dalvik, but it would be great to test the improvements using ART. Apps would launch faster, apps are pre-compiled upon installation, longer battery life, but on the expense of taking up a bigger part of the storage.

Perks of having a Nexus running on KitKat.

Thanks in advance, and Merry Christmas.
[Android Apps and Games] majedev:
I've got my new N7 2013 (with KK 4.4.2) last week, and switched to ART yesterday. SuperBeam has been working perfectly without any issues (both versions 3.0.3 and the newly published 3.0.4). I'd really appreciate if you could send me a logcat from your device during the crash.

Happy holidays and merry Christmas!
[Android Apps and Games] majedev:
You're right, my bad. I found a new bug that might be the root cause of your issue. A fix has been added to 3.0.4 which has just been published on Play store
[Android Apps and Games] majedev:
Thanks :)

Many users requested Airdroid-like features. I'm still debating whether to include them or not, because they beat the current purpose of SuperBeam: share a specific set of files quickly and seamlessly.

Adding features is easy, but making sure that they are aligned with the user experience is not. I'm fully open to suggestions though.
[Android Apps and Games] majedev:
Dear all,

I've opened a translation portal on CrowdIn for SuperBeam app here: http://crowdin.net/project/superbeam. I'd be grateful if you could participate in translating the app to your locale.
[Android Apps and Games] tylerdurden83:
I just tried the just released on the play store version (i had the apk that you linked here on the forums but it let me update via the play store just as well).

Nexus 5 stock rom unrooted, Nexus 10 stock rom rooted this time.

Both with wifi off, stock settings, connection failed, changed from auto to hotspot on the sender, retried, failed, added user defined hotspot names and passwords, retried, failed...

EDIT: more tests. Nexus 5, no wifi, hotspot mode to Galaxy Nexus running CM 11 Kitkat 4.4.2, failed, Nexus 5 reset to auto mode, retried, failed
[Android Apps and Games] majedev:
Do you happen to have ART runtime enabled on your Nexus 5?
[Android Apps and Games] windows7:
zapya is better
[Android Apps and Games] tylerdurden83:
Nope none of them has art nor dalvik patches
[Android Apps and Games] ironicmirage:
Perfect! Just perfect. No doubt the best file sharing application.

Thanks, dev!

Merry Christmas!
[Android Apps and Games] Aashuk Mehta:
Dude it would be nice if you provide the man some logs
[Android Apps and Games] tylerdurden83:
How? I posted the screens of the errors, but I dont know how else to provide him some info, don't see any "log errors to file" option in the app settings
[Android Apps and Games] arjiegodz:
is there a way to send a file from pc to fone from this app? i know there is a computer app for that but what if i use other people's pc? they dont have it. i think it would be better if this app would be a stand alone app. like wifi file transfer. cuz that app can send and recev file. without using any other app. please support that function in pro version. :crying:

[Android Apps and Games] Aashuk Mehta:

[Android Apps and Games] arjiegodz:

will it work from samsung to lg... i mean i have tried inbuilt wifi direct but it works only samsung to samsung
[Android Apps and Games] Aashuk Mehta:
Yes it will
[Android Apps and Games] FCBMW:
No problem! I have installed the normal one on my pc, and the portable version on my USB stick.
[Android Apps and Games] majedev:
A log won't be really useful in his case. Another user with the exact issue on Nexus 5 has contacted me on support email, and we are still trying to figure out what is causing it. So far, there are two possibilities: creation of WiFi-Direct group/Hotspot fails (although the system says it was successful), or another app is blocking port 8080.

Thank you very much for your patience. Please install the attached APK on both devices, open settings > sending settings > TCP port, and change it to 12345, then try sending.

In case of failure, please tap on the error notification and post the message you get.

Please note that the attached APK is incompatible with previous versions of SuperBeam, and it is only meant for testing.
[Android Apps and Games] majedev:

Re: [APP][4.0+] SuperBeam - Easy & fast file sharing using WiFi Direct (NFC/QR pairin

I'll try then. Anyway if anyone can test wifi direct mode (you have to answer no when asked if devices are in same wifi network) it would be appreciated, as I said the other mode works great for me.
[Android Apps and Games] majedev:
Could you elaborate more on this? I'm using the usual sharing intent, so you can call it directly from your app (the usual URI list of files for data and SEND/SEND_MULTIPLE action).

If you have other ideas I'm open to suggestions. Please feel free to PM me, or email me majed.alhajry [at] gmail.
[Android Apps and Games] majedev:
On an upcoming update I'll add an option to use tethering mode instead of WiFi direct, under advanced settings. This might be useful in your case.

I heard about this little app from XDA's Twitter feed and I immediately downloaded it from the Play Store and installed it to check out. It works exactly liek I was hoping. Awesome job! I would love to see this integrated with desktop computers though, like a few comment back suggested. That would put this app over the top but for what it is, it works perfect and I'm been telling people about it all day. 5 stars coming your way in the Play Store,
[Android Apps and Games] majedev:
If this error shows up before the app is actually installed on the device, then I don't think I can help you with this. It might be caused by play store app. Try clearing data and cache, or maybe rebooting the device.

I've just looked up your device model. I didn't optimize SuperBeam to work with older devices of slow cpu and small ram, so I'm not sure whether it will work for you. Moreover, it seems like you're using an unofficial ROM with highly modded kernel, and WiFi direct and barcode scanner don't play nice with them.

Keep me updated,
