Hey all.
Not sure if anyone has noticed, but it (AFAIK) hasn't been mentioned, but there is an app on Samsung Apps that acts as a remote for a Samsung TV. I haven't tested it because I don't have a Samsung TV, but some people might find it useful.
for me, its at the bottom of the app list and not at the top like new releases usually are.
Enjoy

I saw that, but my Sammy isn't a 9 series
Can't find it in samsung apps :/ Only have two apps there.
Been using the remote app on my galaxy s a couple of weeks now, loving it!
I don't have it on my Tab, and I have a 50" Samsung plasma TV. So can someone please post the APK so we can install and try it?
Download it from the Samsung Apps. It work well with my 6740 TV.

How have you got it working on a Series 6 TV?
According to the instructions the App will only work on TV's having [email protected] and published after 2010.
This app is avaible on Samsung app French

Now I'm really confused..... The Series 6 was released in 2008 which is nowhere near the 2010 date Samsung are saying.
EDITED:
I have checked my Series 8 TV and although I have [email protected] it does not list a Wireless Option which for the Remote is mandatory.
My TV is connected via LAN to my Router/Modem.
Are you saying you have a Wireless Dongle attached at the back of the TV?
They've also added a Samsung Easyprint for wireless printing from the Tab via wifi (I believe)
Should be another useful tool for people with Samsung printers.

I have the same TV and setup. To turn on the Wireless Remote option on your TV Menu>Plug N Play>Wireless Remote Control.
That being said, the remote app does not work for me on my UN55C8000. I'm guessing because Samsung wants us to buy their optional wifi remote instead.
Also, the app is available in the Android Market. There are actually 2 versions, one for mobile phones and one specific for the Tab.
Seems to be available in the regular market now.
It's work for my UN46C7000. I don't see why it's don't work on the C8000! Once I shoot up the App, I can see my TV listed.
It's control via WIFI, too bad it'll not control the vol. of my Samsung Sound bar. I think i'll stick with my Harmony One.
Ok, finally got this app working on my C8000. Turns out it was a problem with my home network setup. I use Slinglink to get wired ethernet to my TV components. Slinglink is an ethernet over powerline solution. I grabbed an extra long cat5 cable and connected the TV directly to the router and everything now works. Odd thing is, all the other network and internet functions worked fine over the Slinglink. Im guessing Slinglink creates some sort of network bridge that prevents the two devices from seeing each other.

Is the HTC Hero (rooted 2.2) Compatible?
Hi,
Does anyone know why the market is telling me that my HTC Hero running 2.2 is not supported?
I have a Samsung UE40C6700 TV and would love to get my hands on this app.
Thanks

Its galaxy s (or samsung) only. Would somebody mind uploading the APK or throwing a link up somewhere? thanks :-D

I have the HTC G2 (Desire Z) on t-mobile. I just purchased a 32GB iPad 2 last week and am waiting for it to arrive soon. I want to use it's video out features a lot with my TV and I also have an apple bluetooth keyboard for typing and stuff.
My main question is are there any apps that allow an android phone to be used as a remote or mouse for the iPad??
Just any apps that allow android and iOS to play nice together would be great to know about. (and I'm not really asking about games, more so productivity apps or remote control type apps) Thanks!
p.s. Please no fanboy/troll comments please. I seriously am just trying to get the most out of what I have purchased. I love android and I love the iPad 2, and I would love some input on making them play nice together as I can't find anything online besides tablet comparisons
Just found this:

I'm thinking using it to browse your phone on the ipad? Could work? Havnt tried it as I haven't received my ipad yet. But I think its worth a look.

I would love to have media controls for my iPad on my Moto X, so I could control my Youtube app. It's that possible?
HI
I recently got a galaxy note 10.1 wifi model and wanted to mirror the screen on my lg smart tv. I understand that both these devices are capable of mirroring but they don't seem to play nice together I contacted samsung customer support and they said look for a 3rd party app that might do it.
I have been doing exactly that since but all i can seem to find are apps that allow file sharing not live mirroring of the note 10.1's screen onto the tv. I understand that samsung have some sort of dongle that might allow it to work but i would prefer not to fork out another $100 for something that seems like it should just work without it. I would prefer to simply use an app that would allow me to connect it via the wifi. Does anyone know of such an app?
Thanks
Allshare Cast dongle or hub is the only way to mirror afaik. I think some newer Samsung tv's might have Allshare built in but not sure about other brands.
Dongle:
samsung.com/se/consumer/mobil/mobil/mobiltillbehor/EAD-T10EDEGSTD?subsubtype=multimedia-and-general
Damn was hoping not to have to buy one of those. I thought with Alshare, dlna and WiFi direct a least one option would just do it. The tv has all those options except allshare it has LG smartshare I believe instead.
Is the Samsung dongle the only one that will work Belkin and HTC make one as well don't they?
I got samsung smart tv with all share cast too, and looking same as you for a way to mirror my screen to it through wifi... its not possible only images and video no screen mirror.
So I guess the the dongle is a must....

I thought that should work due to the tv and the tablet being the same brand and both having allshare cast. My problem is that my tv is an lg tv and the tablet is samsung

Unfortunately Sammy TVs right now do have ONLY AllShare PLAY not AllShare CAST !
Hope AllShare CAST will be added with the Smart Evolution Kit for Sammy TV by March 2013 though.
Right now no mirroring w/o Dongle ..........
One more question about screen mirroring and the need for allshare cast dongle. What exactly does the dongle do that can, t be done with an app? As I understand it with what little knowledge I have is that allshare is based on miracast and so is the dongle, LG's smartshare is based on the same they just both have their own skins overlaid onto miscast technology so you have to go out and spend more money on their hardware to make everything work? What I am wondering is why can't a general app be made that just does the screen mirroring o onto tv's if Both devices are miracast capable, dlna capable and wifidirect capable surely one of these options should allow screen mirroring on a tv without the need for a dongle That costs another $100 or so to purchase on top of the tablet just to get this function. I hope this all makes sense, if someone could explain all this so the dummies like me could understand it that would be awesome. Oh and there seems to be many options for screen mirroring with your pc why is this different?
Thanks

The only way i know of, if you have a capable android phone that you already have hdmi connection to tv, is to use mirrorop sender/reciver app, two apps, one on the note one on the phone, allows you to mirror one android to another vice versa. Ive not managed to get a working mhl/hdmi for my s3, so i dont know if there is a limitation to then hook up the phone via hdmi to tv, wouldnt mind a confirmation on that one my self
Pro
Ive mirrored my note to my s3, anything static it does ok, pics, browsr, pdf, slow/static games
5 minute trial, restart app to reset
Cons
Doesnt transmit sound [i guess the dongle trumps that]
Fast paced games have lag, specifically game controls
Picture quality options at the sake of speed
5 minute trial, restart app to reset

Yeah I looked into Mirrorop but seen as I only want to mirror my galaxy note 10.1 onto a tv it's of no use to me. Funny thing is, is that the LG smart tv I have used to come with a mirror op receiver app p re installed but for some reason it was removed from the model in all countries except China. Sounds like money grabbing on LG's part if you ask me.

One suggestion if you decide to grab the Sammy dongle: register your note on the Samsung web page and you'll get a $50 coupon for the Samsung store. That's how I got mine. Cutting the price in half makes it a little easier to swallow and it does work well certainly glad I got mine.

That sounds alright just one thing is that valid for Australian customers? Also does anyone no which Aussie stores stock them? I went onto Samsung's au website and it seems to be greyed out so I don't no were they are stocked .
online I guess any one know who has the best price?
I've a further related noob question. I have owned my Note 10.1 for 4 days now and have found it great, but I would love to be able to mirror it's display. I actually want to project it (I'm a teacher), but have found a workaround with an iPad where I mirror the iPad to my laptop and display the laptop as normal. Is anything like this possible with the Note?

Hi, I am a teacher as well and am using the Note 10.1 in my classrooms.
I use the Allshare Cast dongle, connected to a HDMI-VGA converter, to the projector. Don't use the converters that don't have a separate power supply; the display will cut in and out because the dongle cannot supply enough current.
Alternatively, you can try using the Netgear push2tv device. The recent beta update enables compatibility with Allshare devices.
If you have rooted your Note 10.1, you need to triangle away to clear the flash counter.

Thanks for your reply. Do you happen to know if there are more than model of Allshare Cast? Prices seem very variable - Amazon go from £30 to £107! I haven't rooted my Note - I'm not really sure what the benefit is - although I seem to have read that it may allow me to access my email through the school proxy, which I can't do at the moment. Can you recommend a HDMI-VGA converter that works?
Do you guys get sound when you conect using the mirror cast not using the dongle I get picture and no sound
I bought new Samsung TV series 6, and it have bulid in Screen Mirroring but in menu options on my Note 10'1 from 2012 i dont have this options.
There is some one hack or addons to my tablet to get this options?
Anyone know of a way to mirror the screen from the Maxx HD to a HDTV or Roku box? Something like the apple airplay equivalent. I just got a Roku box and have been playing around with it and I have used apps like Twonky Beam and Juice, which will beam content like music or pictures or video that's stored on the phone to the Roku. But I want to be able to stream anything that's on the screen, like play a concert from Concert Vault on the phone and stream it to the Roku.
Not sure anything like this is available.
Allot of new phones being released will have miracast. This is the technology standard you'll need for android. I'm guessing its a hardware thing so may not come to RAZR HD. ;( hope I'm wrong.

As far as I know Roku still doesn't support dlna, so I don't think you can beam to your TV via the Roku. There is a Plex channel but I think it only streams from a pc on your local network.

It looks like Doubletwist for android has airplay support, would work with Apple TV. Have to decide if it's worth it to return my Roku and get an Apple TV. It looks like Concert Vault is no longer free anyways so that was the main reason I wanted it, to stream concert videos from Concert Vault to the TV.

This phone does have dual band WiFi so it's possible we could see Miracast support in a future update. At least, that's what I'm hoping for because DLNA is kind of a hassle, and really not supported at all by today's streaming apps like Netflix. Recent news says Netflix and YouTube are looking into another protocol called DIAL, which is really an interface where you pick the video, but the box connected to the TV does the streaming from the internet. I think that is the future for this kind of thing. Why should I have to stream it from my phone? Same for music services.
If you're streaming from your own personal collection, then DLNA and PlugPlayer work well if you have a DLNA server and a receiver like a PS3.

I thought Miracast had to be built into the chip, like Tegra 3. Not sure a firmware update would do it.

The only thing required for Miracast is WiFi Direct support (which most devices released in the past year or two have). Assuming we see a 4.2 update, which has Miracast mirroring baked in, all we would need are receivers to display the content (it seems not many exist at this point).

I need a little clarification. The Nvidia console is running the same type of android as the tablet but has integration with Android TV. So outside of a little bit of a spec boost why can't android TV be done on the Nvidia shield tablet using Console mode hooked up to a TV via HDMI? I'm really not seeing the difference in the two products other than some specs and hardware.

I just tried it then with my Xperia Z2 Tablet, I downloaded the apk from: http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/leanback-launcher/. Then pressed home and selected it as my launcher. I then plugged my Xbox 360 controller into my OTG Cable, then into the Tablet. I was able to launch Leo's fortune without a hiccup. Try for yourself.
So technically I could do this with a MHL to HDMI adaptor, but im still going to be getting the Nvidia Shield because I want something permanent in my loungeroom

Did you have to root to do this? Also do you only need the launcher apk or any other files? Not sure if all the services would run the same.
My original point is I have the shield tablet not sure why it can't do exactly the same thing as the console.

I do have root but sideloading an APK doesnt require root. Try it yourself.

I guess I don't k ow why the tablet can't do what the console does. They are so similar.
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Maybe because they're two separate devices that are different things. While I guess I can see what you mean about them being similar, they're different form factors, meant fit different purposes. If you must, install adb drivers and sideload the launcher, or just transfer the apk and install. Tbh though, you're not missing out. True story - it's just a phone without its own screen with a limited launcher. The search function is kind of cool , but nothing amazing. You can say show me movies that won an Oscar in 2012 , or show me movies with Kevin Hart, and it will show you movies, but mostly not what your looking for. I only bought it because ive been streaming games via moonlight on my note 4, and I thought it would be nice to stream them to my tv.

Actually that is what I would like. Contextual search. Appletv is a letdown. Chrome cast has been good but I rather have the interface and the contextual search. I like how androidtv is laid out and interacts with Google now. With that said I already us the tablet so I not going to get the console, which brings me to the reason I am questioning why I can't recreate the same experience. I would like there is more than just the launcher.

Little bit of a spec boost? At least twice as powerful, and 4K at 60FPS to boot.
It also uses the android TV platform which even though it is based on 5.1.1 it is different then the tablet os.
Also the hardware is different.
