I was curious to find out how the hdmi works with our phones so when I went to the sprint store the get my defender case swapped out for a commuter case, I asked about it. Basically DLNA(Digital Living Network Alliance) allows for a person to easily share their videos, music, and photos. I never knew our phones had this feature, so I download the "Double Twist" player app(its free) and "Air Sync" (its not free, you can figure out which way you want to get it) and when you open double twist, go to settings>air twist & air play and check the box next to it. Now if you have an internet cable tv, xbox 360, or ps3, you can stream and mirror your movies on their with NOOOO LAG!!!!!! You can also view your pics and stream your music as well. I love this feature. I thought I'd share.
Doesn't the phones "Media Share" application do the same thing?
Or are these programs better than that?

Yes, very well too... You don't need any program...

However, as of right now we are limited to formats that the hardware support. Hopefully RockPlayer or Vplayer will include this ability so that any movie format can be streamed.
Is it possible to mirror what is on the device using DLNA and Media Share? If so, how can it be done?

What do you mean by "what's on the device?"

It's just a preference. With double twist you use it as a media player also on the go. Being able to share media is a big plus and that's what matters.
Sorry if I was unclear. What I mean by "what's on the device" is complete mirroring. (being able to see everything that is being done on the device)
I would like to be able to do that over some sort of wireless connection to my TV.

Nope. I believe that won't be possible to do without root.
Too bad :-(
Thanks for the help!!

The EVO3D does do full mirroring.
Maybe not over DLNA but it does over HDMI.

Really?!?! You just made my day.
If you don't have an Evo 3D, well you don't have an Evo 3D.
DLNA doesn't give mirroring. Think of it more like turning your phone into a media server. It doesn't play the media on the server, but rather is just a host so your other devices can stream the media to them.
I've used DLNA already quite a bit through my ASUS O!Play HD2. There is a little bit of delay in starting the media, but everything streams smooth once it starts.
Anyone know how to do this with a Samsung TV with All Share? I spent some time last night but couldn't get it to work. My TV can't see my phone and vice versa. But my laptop can see my phone and play its content.
Anyone know if this is possible using a Wii?

Yes, I had a Samsung led 3D, swapped it for an LG passive 3D. Go into the media share app while connected to WiFi and check the box to share your media. Check music, pics, and videos. Now go to "set shared folders" and pick the folders off your EVO 3D you want to share. While on all share on the t.v. while connected to.the same network it will find your phone. If not, don't use the all share app on t.v. just go to the media play app and it will be there. Or. On phone go to connected devices app, choose the media you want to share and then your t.v. and it will play if its supported content.

How about a set top box for non connected monitors

Look for a media server option on your wii. Or a share media option. I dont have a wii so im just guessing.
If you don't have an Evo 3D, well you don't have an Evo 3D.
Thats pretty nifty. Hooked it up to my sammy led and it works really well.
Hello. Just bought my third HTC phone and I am very happy with it. The 1080P video sounds especially appealing. I saw there was an HDMI adapter which I mentioned to the sales guy and he said that his girlfriend had one(of the phones) and their TV (which has wifi) automatically picked it up. If I am going to take good HD videos it would be great to send them over wifi to my PS3 (preferably) or my computer with a media server on it to watch them easily. I have heard of an app called awesome drop but everything I have seen is getting media ONTO the phone, not off. I know I could just USB to my computer (and maybe even ps3?) but since it can be on my wifi network it would seem there was some way to easily just push the video wirelessly to watch. I know this isn't specific to the Amaze so if you think I will get better answers I can move to a more general Android area. Thanks always XDA.
Also in the same vein is there some app to just directly move any files freely between the phone and my computer (and maybe even ps3?) over wifi? TY

I use iMediaShare Premium to stream videos stored on my device to my XBox 360. I can also stream Youtube and several other services as well. All connect via wifi.
There's a program called PS3 Media Server that is awesome. I haven't yet tried streaming amaze videos, but I will tonight. THis app is very light weight and streams really well. I have yet to have any problems, but I've only streamed some relatively low bandwidth 4:3 video over wireless.
I stream video to my Xbox 360 using an app called Twonky, It's in the Android Market, nice and easy. Let me know if it works for you.

hi folks
as the title says im after screen mirroring my s3 to my laptop it is equipped with dlna already or maybe wifi direct if its possible! according to what i read on the net it is possible to mirror s3's screen to a pc using dlna but i have no luck yet! when i scan with allshare app it does see my laptop i registered it with allshare play it sees it as an active online pc but refuses to stream music, pictures or video let alone screen mirroring!. do you think i should download a dlna server app? if so which is the best one? coz i have downloaded one called tvtrivia or something but it didnt help..
im from UK so i have the international version of s3 with original stock samsung rom on.
i have gone thru the forums but i didnt not come cross any thread about this apart from one that is about allshare cast which involves an extra hardware!
im very surprised though as i thought many people would be interested in screen mirroring!
what do you guys think about screen mirroring? anyone have made any research about this or even tried? what is your experience?
bump, also interested in this
yep - and me!
Airdroid can do basic screen mirroring but it runs at a low fps rate of ~1fps. MirrorOP is also the same I presume. I wish the was a solution for this using wifi, widi or even usb connection. That way I can easily play games with my phone as a remote or as a wheel substitute in teaching games lol.

I use MirrorOp and works well. The frame rate is high and videos work well through it. The sender app costs $9.99 (~£6.43) for unlimited use.
My PS3 and my smart tv pickup my windows computer over wifi enabling me to show pictures music and videos on it. Im assuming this is a windows feature that allows it to show up like that. Is there any type of app that can fake the tv I to thinking my phone is a wi dows media?
I may be using wrong technology terms here but hope what I am saying makes sense
Hey,
There are many apps for that in Google Play, the technology is called "DLNA", just look for that in Google Play.
I use imediashare for displaying videos and pictures on my Sony TV. But with this app you normally send your media to the TV, and not the other way round.
Just try it!

Ill give it a try, im away from my tv for a few days. what im assuming is my vizio tv that i can access my videos via submenus on the vizio tv app "Vmedia" i would be able to see my phone up on it. Or is this needing an extra thing connected to the phone or tv?
just bumping the question

Worked awesome!! I downloaded Skifta
Thanks!
Hey everyone.
I am looking for an app that lets me see my pc screen, just like a monitor would. i know there are some other options like splash screen etc but they are all pretty laggy because they all use internet and they video stream my pc so quality is bad too. while quality is secondary for me lag is deffinetly not so even the program needs me to connect my phone and just works like a monitor without input that would be just fine. isnt there a way to do it? i've heard people do it with their tv i couldnt find anything useful despite searcing for two days.
if you could show me an app that lets me do this with good quality like my phone screen have i would be so happy and pay for the application.
sorry if i am using the wrong section of the forum. thanks in advance
try with iDisplay. I dont have a play store link but just search it. You will then be able to use your phone as pc monitor. You can connect to pc via intetnet or through usb cable
