[Q] screen mirroring to a laptop using wifi direct or dlna? - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

[Q] Getting 1080P movies to PS3?

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.

[Q] MyNet feature

Has anyone here tried the "MyNet" feature of the tablet to control a computer through your tablet? How do you like it?
I'd like to take advantage of that for websites which stream video but are not compatible with mobile browsers of any kind. It would probably require being on the same wifi network but either way, pretty neat.
BTW, I love my Prime!! Got the issue with gps signal capture but I got my cell phone to direct me if I'm lost in my car.

The app is called splashtop. I believe there are a couple of threads talking about this application. Just to let you know there is a THD version that is up on the market now that works better and faster then the bundled version though it costs money. I am using it now and can connect to my home computer from work and its super fast. I love it. Use it at work all the time during meetings to connect to my desktop. The bundled version will close the connection on you due to a bug in that version. The THD version does not have this issue.
Just my 3 cents.

actually hes talking about the MyNet app that comes with the prime
its not a desktop mirroring tool it just allows streaming of media (pics videos music) to the prime from a pc
its actually pretty cool in how well it does it but it can stream MKVs though
It also allows the downloading of the files from the pc to the prime...its a nice way of moving files without having to plug in or use a sd card or dropbox
i wish it allowed folder downloading or multiple downloading rather than having to do a single file at a time.
Yeah, the MyNet app is a DLNA app for streaming media between DLNA devices. To me it seemed to be a decent proof of concept app, but I have found three apps that do a better job: 2player, BubbleUPnP, and iMediaShare.
iMediaShare can stream from several internet sources to your DLNA devices, but it's unfortunately still not optimized for tablets. It forces you into portrait mode.
For streaming music from my Prime to my blu-ray/stereo, I typically use BubbleUPnP.

Well when you read the op he states talking about controlling your laptop.....was confusing.....i use MovieBrowser UPnP.....just love the way it organizes the movies.......
So Op, sorry for the confusion.
I've used both apps and had good success with them.
I really like the MyNet app though as its a simple program that lets my stream movies/tv shows from my NAS to the TV in my bedroom. No more lugging the laptop up the stairs and clearing a space to put it!

Are you sure you mean the mynet app or do you the splashtop hd remote pc access function in the my cloud app?
From reading your poast I think that you mean teh My desktop feature in the my cloud app which is splashtop HD remote app which links up with a splashtop streamer app on your PC !! and this does not require you to be on the same wifi connection...I often use it to connect to my pc when away from home to check on email accounts etc
I'm sorry, it is the "mycloud" icon on the screen that I meant. From there you find the "my desktop" option which uses splashtop.
i know it is off topic....but i have used PhoneMyPC for years. love it. great app for controlling your various PCs from your android.
Loving mynet, works flawless with all my gizmos. Sitting waiting for someone to start using cornerstone in a rom and i will use it as my main tv interface.

Mirror screen (display) from S3 to Smart TV ONLY with wi-fi (wireless)

Hello there,
I am still looking how to mirror the screen of my S3, by mirror I mean to see what I am doing on my S3, not to stream videos, music or pictures..
For example if I play NOVA, I`d like to see on my Smart TV.
So we do have a Smart TV with wifi (wireless) incorporated, my model D6530 (D6500 series), but I cant find the option to mirror screen.
Is there a trick ??? Can somebody find out or make a software to do this..
Hardware both is all ok and accepted, only SW is missing or hide.
Thanks
Even I am looking for the same. But no luck yet.
There is a discussion on this thread about screen cast (screen replication on TV) : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1678135
Looks like its not yet released and will be available in late summer as per facebook sweden update (as per some user's comment in one of the threads)
With All share play app already available you can stream content(video/photos/music) to TV (same as other DLNA apps like iMediaShare).
The only part lacking and I am desperate is AllShare Cast app.
I thought you needed the dangle for all share cast to work? I its not cheap. Hope I'm wrong I've got a dlna Samsung 5series smart tv and use dlna all the time for porn Ammm I mean video viewing and it's great smooth and fast ^o^

Looking for the same too. This what I found so far.
Google for xbounds.
If you got another android that can hook up to tv, you can install MirrorOp apps. Works well but framerate is limited.

I dont need the dongle to carry all ****s with me, I already have a Smart TV with wifi.. dongle is for normal TV without wifi
Hope they will do something about this
yeah, dont really understand why this isnt already possible, the hardware is there, at present you'll just have to manage with your hdmi which makes gaming pretty much impossible comfortably.
This is probably my only gripe with this phone and my last the sgs2.

I'm having a similar problem I see the device, it connects for a few seconds, my tv screen flickers and disconnects immeditately.
what model of Smart TV you have? I dont see my TV on the list at all...
And what country ? ( I think is related on country, from the answer of Samsung Romania support...)

NOTE: I think allshare only works with the 7000 / 8000 varieties, this was suggested in the sgs2 threads on the subject. I used to have an sgs2 but there was never an option to cast your phone screen without HDMI connection, have to wonder if this option is on the SGS3 at all.

I tried it last sat on un65d8000 model. All share play worked, which just sends movies, but all share case, did not.
Software apparently needs work...

After receiving the latest firmware update on my phone, it finally shows "AllShare Cast" as an option in settings. Unfortunately, it can not detect the UN60ES7500 I have on display in the showroom (or the PN51E8000), nor the BDE5700 and BDE6500 Blu-Ray players. Nothing shows as a "detected device". I just upgraded the firmware on the UN60ES7500 and no change. I tried connecting via our Wi-Fi network, as well as using "WiFi Direct"...still no dice.
Additionally, the "LiveView" Android app apparently isn't compatible with the Galaxy S III either...so no streaming video from the TV BACK to the phone either...grrr.
Samsung needs some software help, pronto!
@jnemesh
same for me what firmware on S3 you tested ?
Allshare Cast doesnt work yet but already has issues
Salut
I have a 7000 series smart tv + WiFi dongle. I can confirm that Allshare plays photos, music & videos from S3 to tv, but Allshare Cast is not working. also there is PIA bug with Allshare Cast on S3 running latest v.17 Omega rom, when disabled from settings it also disables WiFi Anyone saw this issue? The only option to get rid of that it could be re-flashing the Omega rom without the Allshare Cast.:silly:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7p6nOAcSUsE
so that isn't working now even if you have the dongle and a s3?
:/ did they disable the feature?
this is what i'm trying to figure out ..if you have a smart tv that can stream videos via allshare just fine..then shouldnt hardware wise you have all you need for allshare-cast to work too??
i have a UA46ES6200 and my s3 can not detect it when scanning for allshare-cast devices ...but allshare play is working just fine
but i want screen mirroring :/
this is really annoying, Samsung ever read here ?
or how we can get feedback on this..
I bought S3 for this option (like in commercials), otherwise I would stick with my S1 and S2..
Somebody managed to mirror screen without dongle ?

Stream movies from Phone to Samsung TV wireless? (How to)

Hi guys, just bought a Samsung smart TV and I wanted to know if and how could I stream movies from my phone to the TV Wireless.
I'm currently running Cm9. If there is an app required can someone upload it please.. thanks
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
You need all share to stream stuff on your smart tv. I don't know if all share works with CM9 though. All share is included in the stock Rom, so maybe if you ask somebody he/she will extract it for you do you can try it on CM9
it works on stock
Dont know about CM9, but with the stock rom, you just need to make sure your TV and Phone are connected to the same wifi and then you play your file on your phone. A symbol at the top of the stock player shows a 'choose your player' dialogues and then you choose your TV. Its starts playing either instantly or with a prompt on your tv, depending on your tv setup. I have mine set to auto accept. Works with photos and videos. I have tried with 1080p movies and it works without a problem.
Tv is LG LM670T. 3d smart. its gorgeous
I think most recently manufactured tv hs dlna.
Just search your tv model on Internet then you should be able to find out.
If so, then download bubbleupnp app from play store. You can either set up another server on your computer, which I do, using plex server, which you can download for free for your pc. Or you can use your phone as the server as well.
You can control all the streaming from your pc to your tv or phone to tv right from the bubbleupnp app. Very cool. If you install the extra bubbleupnp server on your computer, you can even stream remotely. Very easy to set up and very cool. Real cool.

If I understand well, you have two options: (1) stock Samsung rom and AllShare Cast (it needs Samsung framework, hence CM will not work) or (2) use DLNA (check if your TV supports it, but I guess so) and one of the apps mentioned above (which will also work in CM as it should support DLNA).

I use VMLite VNC Server. You have to buy it though. It works great! I use it to text using Watsapp on my Mac. :good:
Does anyone know of one that automatically connects to the phone without having to launch the app on the phone first? Maybe it being a background app listening for a connection?
I tried VMlite but it seems to make my phone lag while running.

Try Mobizen.
I don't think it streams sound though and only runs at about 10 frames a second. But you can control your phone without starting the app...AND it works over 3G/4G as well as wifi.
It also only seems to be in portrait mode.
