Hey all, I was wondering if android beam can be used between different types of phones or do they need to be the same. A friend of mine and myself tried to transfer a file between our phones, his is a galaxy s3 and mine is an economic lte, nothing happened. Any idea?

How were you trying to transfer it? Files would take a long time to transfer over NFC and it's usually used for contact information, URL's, etc. However, I believe some apps (like File Expert) do support file transfer over NFC.

We were just messing around, I was trying to send a play list to his phone like in the commercial, it vibrated and made a noise but nothing happened

Re: Android beam.
I think that's a Samsung app that does that. Not sure if the HTC Music app supports it. Like I said though, I'm sure there are 3rd-party apps that can do it.
