Anyway to get Android Phone to wirelessly display on big screen tv?

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

Yeah you would be going from 800x480ish to 1080p

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.

See what happens if you freeze the DRM related apps with titanium backup.

The app "Tablet Remote" allows you to control an Android device with another Android device through WiFi.

U1A Android TV Dongle
I have just bought the Measy U1A. When I am connected to the internet, after some time it turns off. Always happens to me, after a few minutes the screen goes black. How could I do? I think that could be something in the configuration, but I am not an expert. Thanks in advanced.

Check the usb power cable.also if you switch off the tv the dongle Will not have power supply to stay on

Check with the manual if the usb voltage output is 5v and 2amps....that screen problem occurs if the power supplied is not enough

I wanted to try this also. I DONT think its possible ATM. If you trying to watch movies or look at pics from the external storage devices, best bet might be to connect the tablet to TV through allcast wireless or DLNA.
My TV doesn't have wireless but I have a Samsung blueray player. I have internet connection plugged into it. So I can connect my tablet to blueray/TV through dlna connection. Works fine like that for me.

+1 wanting this kind of dock. Would be great

Shouldn't be that hard, considering that most other samsung tab/ note products have multimedia docks.
Been hoping to find a solution to the issue for a while.

What model Blu-ray Disc™ Player are you using?????
Best buy USA has a refurbished Samsung Blu-ray Disc™ Player (BD-E5300) that has AllShare for $39.00 free shipping. I was thinking about getting one as a don't have a Blu-ray and I would love to be able to use the Allshare with my Note 10.1.
Thanks for the tip.

Btw can you play games via all share ? And does the dongel need external power ?
Been looking at different workarounds on the usb and hdmi , thus far nothing that's quick and easy.

[Q] Is it possible to connect external hard disk using stick mount?

Hi Guys,
I try to connect my external hard disk in my phone using stick mount and my mobile hangs. Is it possible to connect my phone to a external hard disk? Is there any other app i can use to connect to the hard disk. I am using OTG connect kit.

Hard disk available in 3.0 and 5.0 and above .. its not allow to connect with mobile or any other low device that cant hold .. pendrives are 2.0 data transferable so thats the reason u cant connect more den 2.0 data transfer device .. try another hard disk .. there are so many hard disk are available in the market which is data transferable amount of 2.0 hit thanks if i helped

Hi,
What is 2.0? is it usb 2.0 or 2mbps data transfer speed? tell me any hard disk names, so that i can try.

actually 3.0 and 5.0 is a series of hard disks . yeah So many hard disk are available in market but i dont really know about that which one is better for u .. try trancend or seagate ( it has very low memory rather then other heavy hard disk drives .. hope it will work in your case
Sent from my Micromax A110 using xda app-developers app

You need a y-cable to power the hard drive externally. The phone itself will never be able to power the harddrive. I use it on the road sometimes to transfer movies to and from my phone.
This has nothing to do with the hard drive being 2.0 or 3.0. The drive needs power to work. The phone can't provide enough power.
