Hello,
I have a strange situation, I have a galaxy s21 ultra and tab s7+. What I would like to do is essentially use my cell phones internet to watch video on my tablet. My mobile plan does not allow my phone to be a hotspot, so that is out of the question.
So, is there a way to cast video watched on a phone to a tablet? Or something along those lines? In this instance I have no wifi at all.
Via Bluetooth. Requires wireless network is set to Bluetooth on both your devices.

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.
Ive got a web cam hooked up to my desktop at home. Is there any app for a galaxy note 8.0 that will allow me to watch the webcam feed from my note? Ive done the "auto-root", but I won't do roms. Ive searched, and I see quite a few hits for turning your tab or phone into a network webcam, but I don't see anything for viewing a webcam (like one attached to a desktop) remotely on the tab. Also, Id prefer to be able to watch from anywhere, but if it has to be while connected to the network, thats fine. Im wanting to use it as a security cam.
Hello,
Ive got a quick few questions.
My headunit was recently stolen from my car, and Im considering replacing with a tablet, possibly a google nexus 7 or any other seven inch tablet.
My current phone is an LG optimus pro.
I want to be able to buy a wifi tablet, and stream everything from my phone to it. Pandora, gps, and so on.
The easiest way would be to tether, but I bave unlimited data on att and would prefer not to lose it.
Can anyone highlight any methods for either remote viewing the phone on the tablet, hiding the stream from att, or any other method.
Im not opposed to setting up a wireless local network in the vehicle if it would allow me to simply stream audio on the tablet, and use the gps.
Howdy ho!
I believe I have a question that many users here and/or in other forums were trying to ask, but failed to ask properly and got an irrelevant answer. I will try to be honest and clear as possible and hope there is a solution.
What do I have:
Samsung Galaxy Note 5 running Android version 7 with unlimited data plan and 15GB mobile hotspot data, a smart TV and a laptop.
What do I need:
Watch videos and surf internet on my PC monitor or bigscreen TV using my phone's unlimited plan.
The problem:
15GB mobile hotspot data aint enough to run my PC. A few Windows updates and one online game update a month about 1-6GB each( I have no clue why game makers have to push huge updates every month, like Guild Wars 2 for example or Eve Online, or simply starting Steam ) tears my mobile data plan apart, and where I live the satellite or dial-up are only means of getting internet, which aren't acceptable. due to lag and download threshold.
The workaround I tried:
Currently I have my laptop connected to TV via HDMA and by sharing my mobile hotspot able to stream YouTube and surf internet, but once 15GB hotspot data is exhausted, speeds drop down to crawling 0.80kbs instead of 4G as a punishment for going over.
So I got the Chromecast device, which is inserted into TV's HDMA port and supposed to connect with smartphone via wifi, but it appeared to me that I am required to establish a connection with another phone or device that is sharing mobile hotspot data or some kind of wifi internet and then Chromecast device can tap into it, which beats the purpose. Why can't my smartphone stream its display content directly to Chrome cast to be displayed on TV/monitor ?
The question:
Is there a microusb to HDMA converter that does not require MHL enabled device (almost all Galaxy Note models have it except Note 5 for some aggravating reason ) ?
Is there another way to connect a big screen to a smartphone to watch videos without burning precious mobile hotspot data?
Why can't I plugin microusb to USB cable from my phone into PC and use it as a mobile network card/router?
Is there a chance for an app that could resolve my issue or am I stuck burning mobile data with my hands behind my back just because mobile internet providers love to sell air?
Thanks in advance and apologize for any negativity, I really feel defeated by getting Note 5 instead of Note 3 which is MHL enabled, but isn't and option for a trade-in...
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...
