Android Beam - vCard Not Init'ing

nfc vcard android-beam

When I try to send a contact from one nexus 5 to another, Android Beam fails (everything is enabled). Other things such as a pic, a Play App link, etc. work just fine. When I pull the log, I can see vCard fails to init. I'm not using any special apps. Just plain stock Android running 4.4.2. Any idea...

How to transfer images via Android beam (NFC)?

nexus-4 nfc android-beam

When I transfer an image from S3 to Nexus 4, Play store is opened. However, for contacts it works well and good. Do I need any app for transferring files over NFC?
