Hey all, I'm looking to get a Tab 10.1, as I'd like a portable device that can hold movies. One that I can watch them on, and one that I can USB to my xbox or a friend's blu-ray player. I'd also like to be able to use a Torrent client and d/l straight to the device.
So my questions are:
1) I'm pretty sure the answer is yes, but Android (the Tab specifically), can function as mass storage can it not?
2) Is there a Torrent client that can be used on it?
3) Does the Tab have XviD/DivX/avi/mp4, etc support?
Many thanks.
No one? That's too bad...
why not u post this on galaxy tab dedicated subforum instead?

Hi All....
Glad to be part of such an effective forum.
I've already searched the forum for what i want. Hence starting a new topic.
What i want to do is:
- Play something on my PC. i.e., a movie file.
- Listen to it over BLUETOOTH on my Android phone
WiFi, Internet is not an option for me.
Reason:
I've a new 24' Display and hence wanna view it at a distance using my phone to do the wireless work over bluetooth.
I've used GRemote Pro. Its to just control your pc's mouse pointer mostly.
I need audio to be streamed over to the phone.
Specs:
Win 7 32 Bit
Android 2.2 Phone. SGS i9000.
I've added my query as a general question as it must be the same for all android phones
Any Help is greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Somniloquist
I recently learned about Samsung's WI-FI All-Share Cast Hub (wireless HDMI Display Adapter). See details here:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0089VO7MY
I'm thinking about getting one to use with my 5113. Before I do, I thought I'd ask here if anyone has tried and/or used one.
Thanks in advance,
Rich
Does your device support all share cast or are you just looking to add DLNA to a TV?

You hit upon my confusion. I'm confused about DLNA, Miracast, AllShare Cast. I've been unable to learn if either Miracast or AllShare Cast is supported on my Samsung Galaxy tab 2 10.1. I am running stock (but rooted) Android 4.1.1 on the device.
I should have asked about solutions rather than specific technologies. What I would like to do is:
1. display/show pictures that are on my Samsung Galaxy tab 2 10.1 on my TV screen wirelessly
2. display/show videos stored on my tablet similarly
3. watch Youtube & HBOgo videos on my TV using the cabailities on my tablet
I am familiar with WiDi and would like that capability as well so that I can also use my Windows 8 table to connect to my TV.
If you go to Samsung they are out of stock. I hope they are upgrading this box so it is a lot speedier.
If you read the reviews for this device on amazon it seems it may be too slow.
As for all share cast just go to the play store and see if your device supports the app.
I am also considering one of these to add DLNA to an older 61" plasma display. My tab 2 7.0 does not support cast, but I have alot of videos that work with allshare.
I think streaming won't work without cast, but that is a guess.
I got the allshare cast dongle today. I bought it for the Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 but it does not work
I also have a SIII. That works fine. On the S3 you can connect with the dongle from the connection settings. It has a option AllShare cast. The Tab 2 does not have that option.
Please let me know if you have a solution.
Hello everyone !
I am currently looking for the best way to stream my 300+ gigs of music from my tablet and I am looking for the best and easiest way to do it.
What I have right now as devices are
a Laptop (which is were the music is right now)
a Ps3
No External drives yet
My Galaxy Tab 2
I was thinking of maybe buying an external HDD with a kind of bluetooth / DLNA connectivity to host the mp3
since the laptop isnt at home/open all the time when I wanna grab my tablet.
I Also thought about Cloud storage... But im not sure I could host 300+ gigs of mp3 free on the net... and if possible I dont wanna waste too much internet data.
So at the end I thought I would just ask the pros.
Thanks a lot guys !!

A hard disk will be a good idea...also if u dunno wanna but a HD with bluetooth or dlna u can check tab 2 accessories section for HDs that tab 2 support via OTG cable...
(is there is no thread than u can make one asking suggetions for supported models)
and if u get no reply go and but a dlna/bluetooth one it will be best one !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I use very easy and dirty solution -> enable FTP server on my PC...
and all other android/windows device, stream via FTP, or download for a temporary
I have a small VPN servers (mikrotik) , and I connect via VPN if I am outside my own wifi...
cons: in samsung music player, you can't minimize the player when streaming. on xperia walkman, you can minimize the walkman without stopping your music
ooooh interresting ima look more into that !
Thanks a lot for the info !
Hi,
I'm new to the forums, so bear with me if I'm not following any rules in particular.
I've had my Windows 8 Phone for a while now (Nokia Lumia 920) and I like it. I got a Galaxy Note 10.1 recently (not the 2014 edition) and like it a lot as well. I teach dance classes, and play my music from my tablet. The thing is, I have to explain dance moves etc. in the class every so often, and have to start and stop the music every few minutes. The tablet has to be connected to the sound input for the overhead speakers in the room, which is in the corner of the room. I have to stand in the middle of the room to explain all these things. Walking back and forth just isn't working out, because I have to start/stop the music several times in an hour.
I was hoping to the able to control the music on my Galaxy Note 10.1 using my Lumia 920. Is that even possible? I'm really hoping there is a way to do this. All I would need is to be able to play and pause the music, and pick songs if possible.
If there isn't a way to control music on the note 10.1 using my Lumia, is there any kind of other way to control music/other content on my note 10.1?
Thanks guys.
Try Vectir...
Infrared (IR) is out of the question as the Note 10.1 can only transmit, not receive.
There might be some bluetooth app with which you can control it but the range is limited to about 10 metres.
Another, and the best bet, might be using wifi remote control.
Check out Vectir Wifi Remote Control.
Connect your two device to the same lan or you can set up an ad-hoc wifi connection.
Install the app in windows phone play around to get it working.
I don't own a windows phone so i can't tell you the exact steps.
All the best!!
Sorry...it is only for controlling Windows PC/Laptops
Maybe try Teamviewer.
Use splashtop!

What he wants is this.
Note 10.1 running android 4.1.2 is the server.
Nokia Lumia running windows 7 or 8 is the client.
So I don't think Splashtop or Teamviewer will work.
So far my findings are all remote controls are either to control Note 10.1 from desktop or control the desktop from Note 10.1 only using wifi.
There is a team viewer host edition for android, so TV is indeed a possible solution. The navigation is still a bit wonky from using another phone as the client, but for simple button toggling it should work just fine.

Tips for a pleasant XDA:
Search before asking. Someone has likely already asked.
Spell your words completely, and use punctuation. It confuses people when you use "u" and "ur" and "dat", or when you wrongly use "there/their/they're/your/you're".
Be nice. Don't be rude, just move on to another post without leaving a comment. We are not 7 years old.
And PLEASE, do not ask for the "best" anything. We all have our preferences.
Galaxy J3 Prime [Metro]. This does not have Screen Mirroring? I wanted to cast/mirror my phone to a Roku. YouTube seems to have something. But, I wanted to cast/mirror video in general?

theres a way to do it but you need to look on google play for an app. just search for screen mirroring apps. i have tried it myself but i could never get it to work. i have a samsung smart tv. but if you really want to put videos on the tv you would need to use a laptop or desktop with an hdmi cable. i had to do it myself but it was too much work to move my laptop around. my old desktop would work but i need a graphics card that has an hdmi port to plug in it.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobzapp.screenstream.trial is one of many. The question is does it work and how well? I want to connect to my Roku streaming media player. Not Roku TV, but a seperate device. One more question: This phone not having this function: Is it a hardware or software thing?

it could be both. because when i looked at the j7 prime it had smart view but the j3 prime didnt. i am unsure but you would need a good router and you may need root too. also don't use anything with a trial on it.
