I just sold my Vibrant and bought a Nexus S and was wondering if there was another app like Allshare that I could use to stream movies from my PC to my phone.
I really like Allshare cause whenever my wife insisted on watching f'ing Jersey Shore I could allways bust out my phone and choose a movie from my library without have to get off the couch to upload it to my phone.

Swifta would work great if it would play different types of video files.

So we do have DLNA? I searched around and I couldn't find a definite answer.
Damn I was going to buy the nexus s but I use allshare all the time. Especially when family comes over. I stream the photos and hd home videos to my tv.
Do you think if I took the vibrant version and used it on the nexus it would work?
Dlna needed of course.

iMediaShare brings DLNA capabilities on any Android phone including Nexus S. In addition it also enable playback of online videos as well as sharing personal photos from Facebook and Picasa.
Hmmm.
I tried searching for imediashare (and scanning the QR codes that are on their website) but it's not showing up in my Market....must be a protected app or something.
Oh well.
Damn it. Maybe I could get the imedia apk found some where.

I read on another thread that the Allshare app on the Vibrant is tied into its framework and would have to be modified to work.

Try again. It should be there now
Last post is December, so did you guys find a way or did everyone settle with Twonky, Skifta and iMediaShare?
You can stream video with Gmote.
Although the dlna works fine I really wanted the AllShare app to control the TV, anyone know how to get it on the Nexus S or at least why can't we?!
Is there an OS version issue, cause I have downloaded like 3 AllShare apk but none works.
I`m currently using the 2.3.4 version.
Thanks in advance,

May I ask what's the difference?
And will verizon be able to tell the difference (or whether I am tethering)? I'll mostly using for light surfing (web browsing, emails). Not interesting in watching TV over 4G.
Good question, I love the tether feature and only use it once in a while but when I need it I need it

Ad-hoc is computer to computer where as the wifi hotspot app handles connections like a real router. I believe this to be the case anyway. So, for example, when I was in Las Vegas I tried to set my laptop to stream videos to my xbox through Windows Media Center. I fired up my trusty droid thinking WiFi tether would help me out. But, it set-up an ad-hoc network and WMC will not stream to extenders over ad-hoc. I was kinda bummed.

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..

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.

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.

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.

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 Galaxy S3 and Galaxy Note 10.1, I am trying to use the AllShare Cast option betwen them, is it posible? or is only posible if I get the dongle? if it is posible, is there any guide or video I can refer to, to make it work? sorry for bad english and sorry if it repost, could not find thread about it

You also don't need a dongle if the device you're sending to supports DLNA. When I'm watching a video in the same room as my Sony Google TV an icon appears in the stock video player that when selected shifts video playback to it.

I don't need the dongle for mirroring my note 10.1 on the SGS3 and vice versa! Thats what allshare play/group cast is for. You need it for mirroring galaxy devices on your TV if you have no smart TV.

As far as I've checked you can mirror files and pics on both devices, you draw on one device and it mirrors on the other(both devices need to be connected to the same network). As for a complete mirror of the screen like with a smart tv or the dongle I've never tried this to accomplish with note and the sgs3, only with note -> tv an sgs3->tv this I can confirm works well.
Playing movies, pictures and songs on the tv, this is even possible witv my old sgs and a b7000 tv using allshare.

No for mirroring. This is the stock video player while playing to an external device. The Note will also sleep while playing externally to conserve battery. For this pic, the Note is outputting to my Google TV via DLNA. It behaves the same way when connected to my HTC dongle.

I am having the same problem. Does any one have a solution for this? I'm on the same network and it just says searching, no matter which device I try.
5ghz and 2,4 ghz do not work so you have to be either on 2,4 or 5 with both devices. It's not working if one device only connected to wifi an the other still on 3G or LTE. Also both have be logged in the SAME samsung account to see them as registered devices in the allshare play app. You start on your device and join on the other with join group cast(in the settings in allshare play app).. Works like a charm for me.
