G+_Gary Volk Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Was poking around in the Google settings app and found a setting called "nearby". Anyone use it or know which apps it works with? Help page says it allows easy collaboration and to be able to play games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Marlon Thompson Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 I think that the vector unit team has it in their apps, (riptide GP2, Beach Buggy Racing) interestingly, Pocket cast has it implemented in their app as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Paul Werner Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 It's also used in new device setup. That way you can have all your apps and info sent from one device capable of "Nearby" to another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Gary Volk Posted November 10, 2015 Author Share Posted November 10, 2015 Paul Werner that could be useful. Wonder why Google is sometimes so tight lipped about stuff? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Paul Werner Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 TwoBit Gary well it does show up in the new device setup if your device supports Nearby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Gary Volk Posted November 10, 2015 Author Share Posted November 10, 2015 just tried setting up between phone and tablet. Neither could find the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Paul Werner Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Yeah though it's there I didn't have any luck with it either. I just ended up using the account login to get my setup moved over (from my N5 to my N6P) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
