Where I'm staying right now, no Wifi or Wilan. My laptop doesn't support bluetooth. My Carrier gives me a service that allows me to watch live streming tv on phone, It doesn't allow me to connect it to TV or something. I have windows 7 on PC, and Android kit kat. Samsung galaxy s4.
I'm wondering if it's somehow possible to connect mobile to laptop using the normal USB cable. And stream the mobile app activity to laptop, so I could watch live streaming on my PC, then I'd use an HDMI cable to connect it to TV.

Hi!
I've been researching allshare. It looks cool. My TV doesn't have it. After doing much reading, it seems this is just wifi streaming (DLNA). I don't want to spend money for that Allshare dongle to HDMI. Tell me if this would work.
I have a windows 7 PC with wireless N. Is their an app for Windows that can receive the Allshare stream from the Galaxy S3? I'm mainly like the idea of mirroring the S3 screen on my 52" monitor connected to the Win7 PC.
If Allshare is just a wifi protocal. How can I set up my PC to use it?
Thanks

My PC is wired to my home network via an Ethernet connection. I do not have a WI-Fi connection on this PC.
I have installed, the Chromecast Windows 8 desktop app, but when I click on it, it searches for a wireless connection and returns a message that it can't find one.
I can connect to the device using either my Windows 8 laptop, or my Android tablet, but would also like to do this from my desktop PC, which is right next to the TV on which I have connected my Chromecast device.
Does anyone know if there are any plans to enable this, or is there a workaround to allow me to connect from this PC?
What's up all.
So here's my thought... Is there a device out there to plug into a TV's HDMI port that will let me send video files wirelessly to it from my phone/computer so that I can watch the videos on the big screen instead of my phone/computer screen?
A few ideas:
- Is there a HDMI-to-bluetooth adapter/dongle that I could plug into the TV and send the videos bluetooth-ly to?
- Is there a HDMI-"SmartTV-creating" adapter (I've seen things like "Android mini pc"s on the 'net) that I could use to transform my TV into a SmartTV or an android "tablet/computer-like-device" and then send the video files from one device to the other? i.e. - devices like this one... http://www.amazon.com/UG007B-Quad-C...d=1389321213&sr=8-13&keywords=android+mini+pc with a wireless keyboard as well of course, and using either bluetooth or a wifi signal to send from my phone/computer to either stream, or transfer the file then watch.
- From what I know the Chromecast device at this time cannot do this, and only works for specific apps like HBO GO, Netflix, Hulu, etc., not for sending straight video files stored on a phone/tablet, but are there other such devices out there that do what I am looking to do?
Thanks all in advance for the help!
Apart from all the other proprietary sets on the market, the wi-fi (802.11/...) USB dongle appear to be an easy way to connect your mobile/laptop/TV to the TV set. The disadvantage is the short range of about 10 feet, unless you use a wi-fi access point to extend the distance range.
On the TV side, attach a HDMI dongle
On a PC, attach wi-fi USB dongle. I think you will need a streaming software.
On a tablet, attach a OTG (On-The-Go) mini-USB-to-USB adapter and then the wi-fi USB dongle. Again, I would think you need a streaming software.
On a mobile phone, it will be more of a challenge. You could do wired-wireless combo:
Phone-to-computer using screen capture application (wi-fi, USB or Bluetooth), then Computer-to-TV via the wi-fi USB option above.

Thanks for the ideas, and I agree that link was an interesting read.
After thinking, I think the way I'll go about this is using Google Drive and an Android mini pc TV adapter. I can drop the video files (or whatever) into the drive on my computer or phone, then sync my TV Android to get the files to play.
X1 works when connected to TV via HDMI but X2 doesn't.

Use the mirroring, Multi-Screen option from the drop down menu to connect wirelessly to your Wi-Fi TV.
I had success on connection to my Samsung with Miracast. I took 2 - 4 attempts then it connected fine.
It transmitted video and sound via 5 MHz WLAN to TV. But the quality of speed seems to be not good enough. I had drops in video but on sound.
I tried the same with my Microsoft Surface Pro 3 which worked well on Windows 8.1. Now on Windows 10 I get no connection at all.
So I have no alternative.
Did anyone ever succeed in connecting to TV via micro USB to HDMI cable? I'm going to be traveling soon and would like to connect it to my hotel TV so I wanted to know if I should go and buy the cable or not,
Thx
