What I'm looking to do with my SGS3 is WIRELESSLY mirror the audio, and video of my phone to a HTPC/Mac. Apple via "Airplay"allows for this in iOS and it works BEAUTIFULLY using a client on the pc/mac like AirServer, or Reflection. I find it difficult to believe that this is not available on an Android platform. The problem is, searching for such an app almost always results in finding remote desktop apps n such. Watch a video using Airserver or Reflection, and you'll see what I'm looking to do. I've seen media player apps that'll send videos/audio, but not by mirroring the actual Android device. I know I've gotta be missing this somewhere.
There's an app called MirrorOp Sender that sends the video to a connected receiver/client, but it's VERY slow, and does not support the transmission of audio. MirrorOP Sender also requires the device to be rooted. Not like that's a huge deal to me, but perhaps to someone else.
Thanks in advance!

Xda tv did a review of an app that does this. Look on their youtube channel. To late for me to find it. I'm sleepy.

Thanks Here's the video I think you might have been talking about. I was unawar that TeamViewer allowed for the control of a phone FROM a pc. I thought it was only to control a PC FROM a phone. Thanks! But it should be known, though this is a seriously cool option. Audio still does not transfer over the wifi, only two-way video communications.
And so the hunt continues for something like AirServer and Reflection on Android. Don't necessarily nee to control it from a pc/mac, but would really like a wireless audio/video presentation platform for Android.
Bringing this post back to life in hope someone has a new idea. Can someone please explain to me why the ability to mirror audio and video from Android to a PC/Mac isn't available yet? Thanks

I am looking for the same, Although the other way. I think there are bunch of apps to mirror your Display but audio is not possible due to some limitations in Android framework.

I too was looking for an app like this and honestly sat there and started to wonder why i actually needed it.. can you explain a senario where this make sense and why an app that beams audio/videois not a good enough solution. hell i am with you on having more options including a featuer like airplay mirror, but maybe untill such application exists i can suggest good enough work arounds because like you i spent MANY MANY hours trying to figure out how do do this mirror thing with no dice. but i did find nice workarounds..
Holy hell, finally I think we might have a solution. I haven't tried it yet, but clearly, we aren't the only ones in need of this feature.

Looks promising. SplashTop 2 works other way round but is too damn pricey.
Just reviving this thread because I am also looking for the same thing. That app posted in the last post, BQScreen, as far as I know doesn't differ from the one the OP stated. Both apps don't transmit any audio, they just mirror the screen. MirrorOp is kinda cool because you can control it both ways, you can also use your mouse to click buttons on your computer to control your phone. Keyboard also works so you can reply to all your whatsapp msgs from your computer but at the end of the day it doesnt transmit any audio.
I use a galaxy note 2 and have never had the need to do this before because both the tvs in my house that get the most use happen to have a computer in the same room and I have them set up to just send the computer's screen to the tv screen and use unified remote/xbmc remote to do whatever I want, thus ending the need for allshare cast/apple tv devices which in my opinion offer an inferior experience than a full fledged HTPC.
The problem is that I have a tv in a room in my house that is getting more and more use lately and it doesn't have any way of showing netflix or youtube or all the files I have in my media server, etc. Basicaly, no access to the internet and I bought the tv right before all the smartv craze started. I am now on the search of a way to mirror my phone's screen (or anyones) to that tv in order to give that tv some added value. Of course I would still need to have some kind of reciever in that tv to get it to work so I really don't know what I am searching for. In the end I will probably end up purchasing an allcast dongle and use it specificaly for that tv, that way all tv's in my house would have access to all the media in my house and the internet but if anyone here has another option, I am all ears.
I have google tv and youtube connects nicely, i'm not sure if that's what your looking for though. I just connect and it plays the video on my tv.
Reviving this i case the 4.3 framework has changed to allow this functionality. If someone with knowledge of such things can chime in that would be great!
Bumping this topic, years have gone by and still no solution?
mirror from koush is the closest thing ...
it's meant for airplay so you can just install airserver on your pc
Chromecast
Google Chromevast
Looking for the solution. AirServer works on Windows and promises Google Cast support but it looks like it only casts audio from Chrome desktop tab. Google Play Music app discovers the chromecast device but music doesn't start
Hello All -
Recently I cannot pair my YouTube in Android into my tv. My TV is Panasonic, and basically this TV is only able to connect to Internet, and browse. However, it doesn't have the luxury to have YouTube application.
I used to pair it by browsing to www.youtube.com/tv#/browse, and it will go to setting, and pairing setting.
I will be able to generate pairing code, and my Android - Note 3 can pair to TV. Hence, I can launch YouTube video from my Android.
Recently for some reason, it is no longer able to do it. If in TV, I browse to www.youtube.com/tv#/browse, it won't go to pairing YouTube setting, and it will only go to red blank screen with YouTube logo.
The question is whether you have the same experience like me, and encounter the same issue or not? If yes, what did you do to resolve the issue so that you can pair your TV with Android?
Kindly please ask your advice, and appreciate it much your thoughts
Thanks,
Cheers,
Hello All - Kindly please ask your thoughts, and much appreciated for the input.
I attached the screen that I got in the TV, and it doesn't change to the setting like it used to be.
Is this issue caused by TV? If you have any idea to solve it, or if you have any suspect for the root cause on this. Kindly please ask your thoughts, and much appreciated it.
Kindly please ask your thoughts,
Thanks, and cheers,
Hi genius, I want to share my videos on my laptop with my friends over wifi, and I hope we can watch the video independently that means we can free to decide the playing speed and progress. Is there such software? A Free One must be more better! I am looking forward to your answers. Thank you in advance

App goes black on pc screen when trying to stream it there !
Hello there ! My phone is LG Nexus 4 !I am using the app Mobizen to stream my android screen to my pc . Now here's the situtation. Everything works fine , it streams everything on my pc screen , except from this app . This app I am talking about is from my cable TV provider and I can watch some of the channels provided , to my phone via internet. As you can imagine whenever i open this app , the pc screen goes black ( not all of it , the Mobizen screen only) . I know its some sort of protection ,because you know you have to pay for those channels , so i didnt even bother trying another streaming app ... Any solution would be much appreciated . Any question feel free to ask !
Hi,
Are you asking how to get content that costs money , for free? Or am I misunderstanding you?
Can you elaborate please?
Thanks!
No I am already paying for this service . Just when I am trying to stream my screen to pc,it turns black when I open this app .
Well, it seems like an issue to bring to the app creators.... But you could ask about it here,

You'll likely get the same advice. So I'd contact the app makers.
Good luck!
Hello!
I have a problem and i have a solution but still searching for other solutions. So i dumped smartphone a while ago and now i miss having spotify and youtube music with me. I have been searching some iPod or similar mp3/4 player that has 4g connection but can't find any good. some wish.com **** post founded but please god help. So other solution is some random android phone ---> custom ROM ---> every single app that isn't music related disabled/uninstalled.
So concllution concluuson,,,,...,,, yeah, do you have known to be good device for this? And were the sony phones good for audio? remember something like that from some time.
