Android Beam (Files Sharing with Samsung)

kaijie_c — Thu, 15 Nov 2012 01:50:20 GMT

I have a friend who is using Samsung Galaxy S3 and when both of us want to share photos or audios with each other, we turned on out Android Beam and when we touched our phones back to back, it just redirects my phone to play store. Is it possible to transfer files between Sony smartphones with other phones like Samsung?? Or this problem is caused by the Sony's self-developed 'Album' and 'Walkman' which are not compatible with other smartphones? Besides those, I can share links on Browser and also Maps.

it works fine with my S and TL with the S3, try a different album app (i use the default album app) Quickpic is a great option

Isn't it because of S3 is using Jelly Bean and we're still on ICS?
