Who knows. Please tell me, even if they did, what device supports it now that I can beam to my TV? I have a WiDi receiver that I got when I bought my laptop, but I know only Intel will support it.

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.

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

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.

[Q] Smartshare and DLNA

I wonder how do you use smartshare and DLNA on your phone? Any guide? If I had compatible DLNA compatible device such as TV etc, can I stream our O3D display to that TV(For game, movies etc)? Or is it only play a share files(image, video, musics etc) on that TV?
Thanks.

Thinking of buying smart TV with DLNA. If that the case, then I'll pass. Better buy android TV box or a cheap chinese android Tablet with HDMI is enough to make my current TV a smart TV.
I don't know, i have a lg smart tv and it works fine.
I have my series tv on my phone and i send them to my 60 inch tv with DLNA

I see that smart tv is only a tv with wifi. Not smart enough imo. I though it could replace hdmi for display stream of our phone. Especially a phone with no tv out.

What you talking about. The phone can send 3d videos to smart TVs via dnla, can be connected to TV via HDMI and control your phone from there
It works on Lg TVs Samsung etc.

Output Video to TV

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

How about something like this: HTC Media Link. I'd provide links, but can't due to the number of posts I have, but if you Google HTC Media Link you should find info.

Usb and hdmi at the same time ?

Hi.
Has anyone found a way to use both usb at the same time? Was hoping to find a multimedia dock along the lines of the one launched for the note 2. Anyone got suggestions?
Kinda keen on connecting the note to a tv and plug in en external hd / usb pen etc.
Thanks in advance!

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.
