the Sony phone complained my phone does not support Android Beam
It's weird. At first it's main purpose was sharing files I guess, and later it grew into other things. But it's still not a big thing I think.
I mean, the thing that I hate the most is that it's actually just an initiator. If you want to transfer a file from one phone to another (lets say 2 Lumias) it's not going to do anything on it's own. It requires a lot of work and at the end it just transfers it over bluetooth. I mean wtf... if i wanted to transfer it over bluetooth I wouldn't even bother going to NFC. I can guess it's the same thing with Android beam.
So I also agree that it's just another radio that drains battery and doesn't do much. I keep it off at all times.
Other than wallet?
Are there any other applications?
i used to share music and photos with fellow wp converts to make isheep jealous, now it just makes funny noises, so it has never been useful really, i've been thinking about buying a door lock that could unlock with a tap or something, but na, nothing yet
Aww that's so cute!I rarely use it for anything other than sending my wife a text every morning as I leave for work letting her know that the garage door is down. Ha ha
My wedding ring has an NFC chip in it that I programmed to send that particular text. I know. I'm lazy and a bit dorky, but I'm ok with that.
I'm really not, I think it sounds really cute and dorky :grin:Hey! Don't make fun.
Ok. Ha haI'm really not, I think it sounds really cute and dorky :grin:
