the wife came home from india saturday morning and of course..she came with tons of pictures. i connected my toshiba thrive to the tv via hdmi and swapped out the sd card into the thrive and realized id have to stand there to switch pictures.
after much searching, i found tablet remote on the market. installed on tablet and then on the skyrocket...paired via blutooth and bam...had a remote to scroll through the pictures with as i sat on the couch.
only problem was i had to install quickpic because tablet remote didnt work with the native gallery very well.

So, I have been connecting my vibrant to my tv and streaming movies from my tab using Allshare. I would like a VNC program which works allow me to remotely control my phone from the tab. The data cable to rca and/or hdmi dock for the tab is too hard to find right now and I have the video cable for the vibrant already. When/if I get the tabs cables, I will probably want to control the tab from the vibrant.
Big kudos to anyone who solves this one.
Is this possible? I recently bought a Samsung Allshare that I can run through HDMI to any TV, but it seems it'd be a simple program that I could run on my MK908ii and just be able to do the same thing. I've seen the little mirroring icon on my phone where I can watch videos and/or pics that I've got saved directly on my phone, but I'm more or less looking to be able to mirror EVERYTHING so I can watch sites like MovieDroid, Showbox, etc without having to carry the Allshare from TV to TV since one of my TV's always keeps this dongle in it anyways. I don't have internet at home (long story), otherwise I'd just run the movie apps directly from the MK908ii...before anyone asks.

Hi,
I cannot get my device to 'discover' a microsoft miracast adaptor I have plugged in my tv. This device supports wi-fi direct, so it should theoretically work!
What I did :
I decided to upgrade my system as it was starting to lag badly, after 2 years of use.. I wanted to upgrade to kitkat at lesat, so I could stream movies to a tv. That feature was quite attractive to me.
I acquired CM11 unofficial from this post - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2637079
full tablet wipe, (Forgot to backup SMS, argh) and it installed CM11 with kitkat 4.4.4 just fine. No problems that I can see, installed slim Gapps package - just for the play store, nothing else. Gonna install Gmail later.
Then I bought a chromecast, it was quite fiddly - It wouldnt find it on cast screen either, I discovered I needed it to run through a wifi network with a permanent internet connection. After this, it showed up on cast screen. Also, the streaming quality was complete crap - so I returned it and got a microsoft miracast adaptor - which apparently has better quality and doesn't need a wifi router!
I can't figure out how to get it to show up. The cast screen tab cannot find any devices. The adaptor sits in the tv, and it shows '"ready to connect" on there.
Since the tab for cast screen exists on my tablet, the functionality is there, and waiting to be used?
Any help please?
Do I need to do something like this - http://forum.xda-developers.com/har...experimental-enable-mirroring-device-t2812193 ?
So, no one has provided any tips yet... I'm going to go return this miracast adaptor before I can't get a refund for it.
But before I do, is there another forum category, or another place on the internet where I may be suggested to try for some troubleshooting advice?
This doesn't make sense to me - as the functionality WORKS, it is supported by the hardware, and the chromecast adaptor actually showed up before
Anyone know how to watch Xfinity live TV on an external monitor?
I get the error
"Because of security protocols required by our network partners, you can enjoy this video on your mobile device only"
This is on an RCA 10" Viking Pro with Keyboard.
Android 5.0 and rooted.
I tried HDMI virtual switch with no luck, don't believe it supports 5.0. I also tried modifying the HDMI state file but I get an error when trying to save the file
I know this has to be possible, when my dad was showing me the problem he had it plugged into the keyboard and he unplugged it and all of a sudden the error went away and it worked and started playing live TV on the external screen! We got it to do it one other time but haven't been able to repeat it.
So really just need some way to mirror the display to and external monitor without the device knowing and telling other apps it is I guess
HELP!!
Hello, my names Pat and I'm brand new to this forum. Ive searched previous posts and found a few related to my question but none with a working solution so I figured I would make my own post mainly because the others I found were pretty old.
I'm looking for a solution of how to mirror screen the optimum app from either my phone or tablet to my TV(prefer using my tablet) (I do NOT have a smart tv, just a regular basic flat screen tv). I'm looking to do this either wirelessly using miracast(??spelling??), another app, or by purchasing an HDMI cord with an android or type c adapter to hookup my phone or tablet (8inch Samsung galaxy tab E). I've tried multiple times to mirror screen the app but they've blocked it and put a restriction on it and don't allow HDMI out. I guess other apps like this one have also blocked HDMI out but I'm mainly concerned about finding a resolution for the optimum app so I can watch cable tv on my TV without purchasing a new cable box. Thanks!!
-Pat
