WHAT???
No WIDI or WHDI....that sucks!
That be a waste of money especially since dlna TVs are pretty cheap and the device is dlna capable.

it has also a MHL port meaning that you can use the usb port to get a hdmi output
watch the long press release video he does mention sharing wirelessly... if that helps answer your question

Is there a way to watch movies/videos from your phone on your TV? My friend has the Droid x and he has a seperate mini HD slot beside his normal charge port.

Due to the Inspire not having an HDMI port, the answer is NO

It is actually possible. Twonky Server can stream audio, pics and movies over a WiFi network to a compatible device. I use my XBOX 360, I think there is a list of devices on Twonky's website. There is also the option of streaming via DLNA, if you have the hardware for it. I have not tried the latter.

Just tried this using the HDMI adapter from my ladies Samsung Infuse and when I plugged it in it made HT Locations pop up with no option to output video to my TV. Oh well.

The DNLA streaming works great, I have played around with it but don't have much need for it. If you have the hardware, it's a great option and easy to use.
I want to be able to beam wirelessly what's on my Android Charge phone to my large screen tv... as we know the Android Charge has an HDMI output.. but I want to do this wirelessly... I found out that Bluetooth is TOO slow for this use.. I just got a laptop with the new Intel WiFi built into it.. just wondering if it's possible to use a technology like this with the Android smartphone?

You might be able to do it with dlna, but only while playing videos

DLNA is your best option. HDMI wireless adapters are over $100. Why not just use a regular HDMI cable?

well this is my issue... I have a big screen tv that I'm looking to cancel my ridiculously expensive monthly cable on (that I don't even get HD with btw). I have a Boxee Box hooked up to this tv... the Boxee Box is great for local content on my LAN, for Netflix, Vudu, etc. BUT... I really want Hulu+ and it doesn't look like that is going to be coming to the Boxee Box anytime soon (if at all ever).
So I was thinking... I could use my Droid Charge smartphone to run Hulu+ on it... but then I would need to get that video content onto my big screen tv... I don't want to keep my phone plugged into the tv via HDMI cable.. so I am looking for a way to transmit the video from my phone to my TV.. not sure if this is possible?
What about vnc? You could have the viewer on either the boxxee box or laptop. I believe there are vnc clients in the market. Only problem would be sound. Also , why not connect the laptop to stream via HDMI to the TV.
Btw quality would be unbareble from this phone . I'd be surprised if it was watchable

If your tv is internet compatible, then you can do this.
tappin' that....
No the tv is not
Being that almost every television made in the last two to three years ago has internet, (including mine) I'm intrigued by this post.
one thing I may experiment tonight is connecting the Charge to the TV via HDMI wire, and use the "Viera Link" on Panasonic TV. This Viera link supposedly allows the TV's remote control to control any device when connected via HDMI.... will post results later.
however, I have seen with an internet TV that the "allshare" app does show a movie file on the tv wirelessly, just could not get the movie to play.
the FIOS remote app though, does allow me to stream photos on the tv wirelessly.

It can output HD video fine. I had no problem watching HD videos from movies downloaded with my MediaHub credit on a 42" HDTV (well, no problem after I got around the DRM).
Keep in mind, for whatever you're trying to play, if it's DRM protected you may be unable to play it over an HDMI connection.
Do tell how did you get around the drm?

Some of the earlier GB leaks (like EP1W) seemed to not have DRM fully implemented so you could output video if you connected the HDMI cable after starting video playback. I'm assuming this was "fixed" at some point but not sure when.

Unless using vnc or any display mimicking program which only displays the resolution of the phone not its capable HDMI output resolution

Of course the only way to get HD video displayed is to output HD video. That's kind of self evident. If you're not streaming media stored on the device, that limits you to using the HDMI output.
That means either connect the phone with HDMI cable or spend $150+ on a wireless HDMI kit and try and get that working.
The easier route would be for the OP to hook up his new laptop to the TV (assuming it has a DVI/HDMI output) and watch it that way. He may have to put down $30 for a cable, but at least he won't have to keep his phone tethered to the television.

Ah ha. So that explains why someone claimed they could do it with gummy charged rom. Thx.
Would bw nice if one of our esteemed developers could unblock that either via updated rom or app. I would certainly pay for that - to get nfl network to display on my tv from my phone.

Does anyone know if this product:
Micro USB to HDMI® MHL Adapter
http://www.monoprice.com/products/p...=10833&cs_id=1083314&p_id=8805&seq=1&format=2
Would work on the HTC Thunderbolt to output video to a TV?
I don't know but for $10 how much is going to hurt if it doesn't work? I like the idea though.
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk 2
I just got a response on another forum that it doesn't work. Apparently the thunderbolt doesn't have the MHL adapter capability.
So is there any other way then to get video on your TV from the Thunderbolt?
I have never been able to get the DLNA player working on the phone. If that is the only way then I would appreciate a how-to guide on getting it to work.

Don't rhink the thunderbolt has dlna or mhl.
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk 2
dlna does work with the thunderbolt. I have used windows 7 media center and a smart TV with Wifi to send videos and music. It can be a little slow, but it may have been the Wifi network I was on. If you don't have a built-in media share app on the rom you are using, you can find some on the play store.
USE twonky works great u get a free couple of uses after that have to pay

You can use some DLNA and UPnP clients such as Twonky to stream from your android device to a Playstation 3. I currently don't have a Infinity so I can't test this, but it does work with my HTC Sensation. Since you are likely to be home to stream this, I just stream from my computer. But it can be done.
Ah, but not mirror the mobile screen?

DLNA is a content service. A device can be any of some combination, like I stream crap, I serve crap, I display crap, I control crap. So a movie stored on a DLNA device that can serve, can be sent to a DLNA device that knows how to play it, and you can even run the show from a DLNA device that knows how to control stuff.
Miracast can be more like HDMI out without the HDMI cable. Think WiFi Direct + VNC but using H.264.
It depends. Samsung, HTC, and Apple all make money by offering AllShare, Media Link, and AirPlay as proprietary standards which require device owners to buy their accessories. Miracast makes sense for Nexus devices so they offer similar capabilities. Asus could make more money by following Samsung, HTC, and Apple or they could go with a published standard and give their device owners more flexibility. Either way you'll be buying accessories from someone to make it work. And it'll take an awfully long time before you'll see devices natively equipped with Miracast to receive content. AirPlay hasn't been adopted in media devices and there are ten times more Apple devices supporting it than there will be Android devices supporting Miracast. Publishing a standard and seeing it widely adopted (on both ends) are two different things.
Signed, the owner of both a Samsung AllShare dongle and HTC Media Link HD dongle.
I have a normal HDTV and I am new to mirroring or streaming things from my phone to my TV. I don't want to use any cables and I'm looking to have as little lag as possible.
Is there any dongle or set top box that I can buy and plug it up to my tv? If so, which is the best?

Netgear PTV3000. Just remember.. The device needs an update right out of the box to work.
Chromecast for $35 should work.
Yes the CC works for Netflix/Youtube/GoogleMusic but device mirroring isn't available.... yet.
