[Q] All Share Cast Hub & Wi-Fi Network

Has anyone streamed a movie to their phone from a Wifi network while simultaneously using the Samsung Allshare Cast Hub to send it on to the TV? I was thinking of getting this Hub to use while traveling and use the Hotel's Wi-Fi rather than my limited data to retrieve movies and then watch them on a big screen instead of on the phone. I don’t know, if being connected to a Wi-Fi network while using All Share will cause problems. Phone: Rooted Galaxy S3 with Stock Rom and Custom Recovery.

[Q] Any luck with screen casting?

I am thinking of going with the T-Mobile $70/month unlimited data plan as my sole source of internet for a while, but they only allow 2.5gb of tethering, which will be plenty to send work emails and browse, but not enough for Netflix, so I need some way to cast my Moto G screen to my laptop (or maybe a cheap tv) without any external WiFi network. I'm under the impression that Chromecast needs an external WiFi network (please correct me if I'm wrong), what are my other options?

You can use:
Wifi Direct, Miracast, DLNA, Chromecast
You can't use:
HDMI, MHL
If you have a DNLA enabled device, like a 360/PS3/SmartTV, you can use an app like Skifta to stream from your phone to it
About Netflix,you'd better try miracast,or open netflix website on your laptop[using the phone as a router]
[i dont have a cromecast,but AFAIK nothing prevents it from connectomg to you phone if you sharing your wifi]

[Q] Wifi local network and 3g at the same time? (DLNA and Airplay streaming on a car)

Hello.
I already put this on the OnePlus Forum but had no answer. Maybe on XDA someone will manage to help me out.
I bought a wifi little device to stream music to my car Stereo and it worked great on my old iphone. I want to have the same result with the OnePlus but I’m having some trouble and need someone help.
This device has the ability to get Airplay and DLNA streams for mobiles connected to his wifi network, everything works great on iphone and on the oneplus. I use Airplayer app on my rooted OnePlus and I stream music on my OnePlus to my car stereo with no issues and with great quality.
So what’s the problem you ask.
The problem is loose my 3g connection as soon I connect to that wifi. So on my car I loose internet, cant receive emails, whatsapps, cant stream from spotify, etc etc....
On the Iphone works great, the dhcp of the router on this little device don’t send the gateway and dns to the iphone. And the iphone understand that its just a local network connection and route internet traffic through 3g. The iphone is smart. I was hopping that the ONE Plus was that smart and do the same thing, but he doesn’t. As soon I connect to the wifi of that device, my OnePlus disconnect the 3g Network instantly.
How can i have my OnePlus connected to the wifi of that device (to have Airplay or DLNA) and stil have internet???
Please help me... I'm driving crazy.
My wife has internet on her iphone while driving and I don’t???Dammm LOL

A workaround not a fix and I haven't tried it myself but maybe have a look at netup, as it is supposed to combine bandwidth on both wifi and cellular it might keep the connection up when you're connected to the car hotspot?

Thanks for the answer but I tryed the app and it works only on YouTube and other limited apps. Doesn't solve my problem to stream from other sites and maintain connectivity to receive emails and whatsapps while on my car with airplay enabled throught that little router. Thanks anyway.​

Note 8 movie casting to Chromecast via HotSpot

Background: I had some trouble setting up my chromecast because we canceled our wifi service; we do have a wifi router, and the chromecast refused to be setup without internet. I finally got it set up on my hotspot, I had to use another old phone with the Google Home app while connected to my Note 8 hotspot. The Chromecast is now setup, connected to my hotspot, but I can't cast anything from Youtube, Allcast, etc from my Note 8 over its own Wifi Hotspot.
I have an apple tv that won't do this either. I really want to use the Chromecast to watch movies and streaming content from my phone (via Allcast or something similar).
Does anyone have any ideas, or real world solutions for using the Chromecast with the Note 8 WiFi hotspot?

I tried this once when my internet service went out while I was watching a hockey game. I never could get it to work either. I tried everything I could think of. I tried using another phone as well. I'm guessing it's not possible to stream to Chromecast from the same device that the internet signal originates. Seems like you could stream to it from the other phone, though.
But the real question would is... You realize even if you could get it to work, it's gonna eat through your mobile data ridiculously fast, right?
Good luck. If you get it working, I'd love to see what you did.

Yeah, I get that it will eat it up pretty fast. I have 10GB included with my phone, same with the wife's phone. I just hate not being able to do something that should be a thing. I guess I can use the other phone to cast through the wifi hotspot from the Note 8.
I wish there were a way to do USB tethering to my router... that would just be too easy...

Stream from android to android

Is it possible to directly stream media files from one android device to another over hotspot connection just like xender and shareit..but for streaming. Dlna requires both android devices to connect to same wifi network and setup through dlna which gets fuzzy sometimes. I want to stream content to my android tv box. Screen casting overheats phone and keeps phone busy while casting. Dlna is perfect but I want to directly stream to my tv box as file shareing is possble between 2 devices.
