Hi,
I am using the team viewer app to access my pc from the phone. It's very good. I get the whole desktop on my phone screen and I can control it completely.
For accessing phone via web I.am using the remote web desktop. I can use many features as sms mail from the pc.
If you have further questions do ask . Hope this helps

if you dont have wifi adapter in your tv, do you have LAN ? as in wired option. the model of your tv would have helped.
i have my tv connected to the same router as my pc which is also wifi and thus through dlna i am able to view pictures and music from my phone directly onto the tv. sadly the 3gp format of the video recorded by the sensation doesnt allow me to view the videos made from the camera on it. but other videos on the phone can be viewed on tv.
another nice feature is that videos which ppl post on your facebook wall can be streamed to the tv directly from the phone using an app called twonky server.
if you dont have both wifi or wired connection on the tv then do you have an hdmi cable input in your tv? if so you can buy an adapter which will connect to the usb port of the phone and to the hdmi port of the tv.
hope this helps.

hi
thanks for your response
My tv has LAN and hdmi connection so it means I am able to do wired network but I don't know how to do it. I don't have much technical knowledge but I am able to do that. I only need some hints at key areas.
I want to know both ways to connect. I have wireless internet modem/router with 4 wired port connection at my home. I have laptop, windows mobile 6.1 and latest sensation also. all of them is wifi enabled.
I heard somewhere that regular micro usb to hdmi cable will not support to the sensation. So what sort of hdmi cable or connector do I use?
Furthermore I tried both TeamViewer as well as Remote Web Desktop.
Both works very good between my Sensation and my HP Laptop.
I know it's inappropriate to ask here but if u know about app like TeamViewer and Remote Web Desktop for the windows mobile pls let me know.
Thanks again

To connect the Sensation to the television get an MHL adapter (this is how it looks in practice: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y-o_VCYd9NA )

Viewing HTC Watch movies on my TV

My apologies if this is somewhere else here. I'm using a T-Mobile One S that is unlocked and rooted. I know that I can buy the Medialink from HTC and plug it into the TV. Is there another way that o can do this?
And since I'm asking, would I also be able to watch home videos shot drum from the phone this way too? Any help or pointing me in the right direction would be appreciated.
Thanks
Marc

If your TV supports DLNA you can just play it directly from the device. I've only tried to view some photos I've taken, but find it very slow when buffering og switching between pictures. They were approximately 2 MB big, but it took about 10-15 sec for each one to load...

Can you tell us dummies how to do that, is there a built in app, or do you use one from the Market?

DLNA support is built in. In the Gallery app, locate the image or video you want to play, tap the "More" button and choose "Select player".
To use this function, both your DLNA-enabled TV and phone must be connected to the same network and your TV must have support for the codecs used by the media you are trying to play.
The HTC One S also supports MHL (HDMI out through the USB socket), so if you're looking for a wired solution or your TV is not DLNA-enabled, just pick up a MHL-HDMI cable from your favorite electronics retailer.

This is what you're after:

Got one, works great. Can even play my games on the TV.

In the US, I use monoprice.com, they have the adapter also.

Yup should be fine, you just want a MHL adaptor. Basically works like an HDMI out on your PC so you can do everything you do on your phone on the screen of your TV. Not experienced any lag as yet and doesn't require any tricky set up.

Well, after the OTA update, the DLNA speed has improved a lot!
But are you guys able to stream videos, that you've recorded on your phone? Mine gives me an error (714)...

Is it possible to turn my old Android into a TV box?

Hello, first of all.
It's been a long time since I have visited this place, so excuse me please if I missed a similar thread. I have searched for it.
My question is if it this possible to turn my old Motorola XT 720 into an Android TV box (i.e. Chromecast or similar).
I have tried CheapCast app that only crashed when opening YouTube. This phone has a HDMI port and I assumed it can connect through it to my Philips TV, which is not a smart TV, but a regular HD TV.
The only connection I was able to create was the built-in version of media gallery from phone which has the option to display the pictures from phone on TV screen (proving there is a working connection at least).

This should be possible as the device has the ability to use another display. I would recommend using something like Tablet Remote or other similar apps on the Play store so instead of using the device as a chrome cast you can use it as a full media center device connected to your TV. By using one of these apps you would play videos directly through your device instead of "casting" them. This should hopefully work arround the issue of apps like CheapCast crashing.
Hope I could help and good luck

Thank you, Tablet Remote works good between the 2 Android phones. Still working on it.

I am also working on this route, trying to make use of my screen-broken Xperia Z. However apart from using as mediacenter with kodi, it would be nice if I could properly emulate chromecast. I would love to see a nexus android TV Rom being able to drive my phone, is anybody working on that?

USB-C to HDMI Adapter for Mix 2

hi all,
i'm planing to buy an USB-C to HDMI Adapter to connect TV, but still don't know about supporting of Xiaomi mi mix2 with MHL.
Is it possible to show the smartphone's screen on TV and play videos with this adapter, anybody knows?
If no, are there alternative ways to get it (chrome cast and dlna are not a option)? May be with software?
thanks!

I went to a local best buy and tested out a USB C to HDMI dongle, unfortunately it did not work.
However using Chrome Cast to mirror the screen works great.

screen printing？

Galaxy J3 Prime - No Screen Mirroring?

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.
