Is there anyway to use a android smartphone as a smart dongle for a tv by connecting it via HDMI? I am planning to use a Galaxy S i9000 for this purpose. Thanks in advance.

Idk if this is the wrong section or not but yeah..
I wanted to know if I could plug my playstation 2 in to any Android device and use it as a TV monitor. Thanks a lot.
Hello all,
I have seen similar questions around here, but not for this phone yet.
We own a Samsung ue32C6730 LED TV. I myself have a Desire HD. I am wondering if there is any possibility to use my phone as a remote control for this TV.
Hope anyone can help me out
The TV uses infrared for remotes the desireHD doesn't have an infrared port.
I meant remote control through our home network. The TV is connected to our router and my phone has Wifi.
This first app should work for your Desire HD (if you have the right TV set):

This second one only works on some samsung smartphones, I'm trying to get it to work on my HTC Desire (original):

If anyone knows how to get this second app to work, please let me know,

Wondering what my options are to accomplish:
My Genesis has recently died and I have a wii xbox ps3 however I haven't found all the games I own plus not keen to repurchase these again.
So, I have a few games on my s3, I've recently gotten an otg cable and hooked up my ps3 controller and quite enjoy playing these games this way.
What I want is to mirror my galaxy s3 to my tv.
My tv is not a wifi so I figure my options are to either find an app that allows me to mirror through a console (ps3 prefered), or to get a mhl cable. With the mhl ca Le I'll have to deal with a new set of problems with a usb hub so I can plug in my controller and the mhl.
This would be alot easier if there was a wireless app that supported mirroring. Any such apps exist? I've yet to find one

as per the title. can you still use yr wifi connection if you're using miracast on the s4? for example, be streaming a movie over wifi from a NAS drive at home from the s4, then onto the tv via a ptv3000 or some other such miracast dongle?
Hi and yes.

Yes our phone has WI-FI during sending image to the smart tv.
I tested that yesterday, i was browsing with my phone and the image was streaming to my Smart Tv without any other accesory using screen miroring in the first TAB of our settings .
cool. Thanks for the info. does yr tv have inbuilt miracast or were you using a dongle like the ptv3000?

Is there a thread where people share experiences on the dongles in the market right now?
The PTV3000 seems to be the only reputable one available but I have read in multiple places that it has HDCP issues where you can't connect it behind an AV receiver. I want to know if there is any other options...
Inbuilt compatibility is nice but I want a dongle that I can carry while traveling...

my ptv3000 and lg bluray player BP730 both work fine for miracast. if having it plugged in behind an av receiver is causing issues then just use a short cable to bring it to the front or top of the device. i have mentioned the same on my video review on youtube a while back. i have reveiewed both the devices i mention.
I recently found this dongle.I know its 8 years old but is there any use for it today.Can i flash this dongle with pc to make it universal to other android phones thats not samsung.Is there links to other uses for this device or is it hackable for another purpose.
