Hi, I just got a samsung smart tv and after the salesman told me i could control it with 'any' smartphone i was disappointed to find the samsung remote app is incompatible with my XS on google play however after a bit of googling i found an apk and installed it but it dosent run fullscreen.
Is there a modded version of this app that is fullscreen? or is there some way to force a resolution so it will be fullscreen?
If not could someone point me in the right direction to modding this app into fullscreen?
Thanks for any help :fingers-crossed:
Finally found a version that is fullscreen, its called samsung smartview instead of remote (hence why it eluded my searches) :victory:
Its 40mb so i cant upload it to xda but this is where i found it

Hope this helps anyone else suffering the same issue (works like a dream on S3 too)
Try an XDA wide search. There should be some other phones with the app that have tried to get it working. I wish my Sony TV had wifi so that I could use the remote app to control it, but I didnt wanna pay 700 dollars for the version with wifi.
I have done that and I only found either versions that don't work or that still pose the same problem.
Thanks anyway
No Solution?
I presume from the lack of replies that this obviously cant be done. Shame.
hmm it's compatible from play on my U thats weird =\
or is this not it?

Sorry I don't follow..
If your TV sonehow can connect to Ibternet WiFi/Cable (LAN) than you just connect your phone to the WiFi (Same network of course) and voila!Tried it,worked fine on mine and I also have the Samsung TV.

The S3 has the same issue, due to the resolution of the screen.
on play it says this: 'This app is optimized for WVGA(800*480) resolution screen.
The app may not display properly in HVGA(320*480) or QVGA(240*320) resolution.'
What i want to know is there some way that this can be worked around or will i just have to put up with the screen not being filled. check the screens' to see what i mean.
Its compatable with the U as its resolution is 854x480 so it'll work wheras the S is 1280x720

Would love to play this game, but the resolution is too great
Has it been optimized yet? Any low res copies about?
Thanks in advance dudes.
Yes. I have 3.1.0 version without "HD" behind.
But had one problem with world map... wasnt able to select destination Therefore wasnt able to play it much
I've got a few of the 3.1.0 version and they're all too big for my screen
i have it running but display is stretched freaky, so it's not like satisfied one
anyone got it? i still have the world bug =/ i really wants to play that game

u can still play it even world map bug exist
by using dual touch, drag the world map picture at up-right corner(don't release) then touch the center of the screen
you would see flashes of the picture
afterward, try to touch the upper part of the screen by luck and you would able to select another location although graphics not pasted properly in world map
I'm looking for an app similar to screenshots but for video for instructional videos and such that will record what I'm doing on screen. any help would be awesome
Hmm.. hope you get a good reply, it'd be interesting to try out!

I did a google search and found this app....haven't tried it though
http://www.android-markets-info.com/helpful-tools/android-screen-video-capture
I also see one in Google Market...but says it doesnt work with Tegra 3...I'd watch that cause eventually he will update it for Tegra 3
There is an app called "MyMobiler"...He just did an Android update, but the Prime needs to be rooted (and I am not). It will put the Prime screen on your computer monitor, and you can control it with your mouse....and anything you can do on the prime (including copy/paste, etc) can be done from the computer....With that, you could use your computer capture app to capture that portion of the screen. I used to use it with my Win 6.5 phone and took some videos with it. Hopefully the anroid version will work.
The website for that is:

Good luck

Is it or does the new version of Allshare app blows in comparison to the old one (S2)?
I'm assuming I'd have to root and deodex my phone in order to copy the old one?

Agreed.. I want the old AllShare back! I tried pushing the apk, but it only starts then FCs. :crying:
Here's a couple of the bad things I've noticed:
The new one is not backwords compatible with the PC version of the Allshare app, therefore installing another web based app
Any video I stream from the phone has to buffer every 10 seconds, unlike the old one, same video, is silky smooth with no hicups
I can't browse by folders!!!!!!!!!! I have scroll through hundreds of videos!!!!!!!!
How would Twonky compare for DLNA streaming?

I pulled the Dlna.apk (allshare) from my sgs2 and it seems to work fine. Only problem is its hard to see some of the fonts for some reason. Still usable though and am attaching it here in case anyone wants to try. Just copy it to system apps. No force closes for me and yeah you need to be rooted. I felt the same about new allshare so I use the old version
Oh and the other issue is your media server will see your device as i9100 since its from that device

They must have made changes from Epic to SGS2 if the epic apk didn't work.
Also, I just realized the other day that you can go into More Settings -> Nearby devices -> File Sharing. You can also share that way. However, playing with it I am not able to stream MKV container videos to my TV. Whereas with the Allshare App I attached above works no problem. You can stream MKVs without issue. The only issue is that allshare is hard to see because of the white theme and the thumbnails look a little pixelated. Its works fine though
Yeah, I miss original Allshare too. I can't seem to find my Onkyo Receiver to ouput to.

Thanks
Thanks from me also.
I have been digging on the net and uninstalling programs to see what the problem was.
I should have known it would be something simple.

Netflicks now has an update that fixes some issue as on the mega you don't have to turn the mega into landscape mode to start any movie and now works on android 4.3 as i have this on my note 1..it should be available as your device should notify you of the update..works awesome now.
Can't see the video on Netflix
I can log in, choose a movie, the movie starts, but though I can see the subtitles I can't see the image. Can you help me?
My phone is a GT-I9500
The pictures and videos are beautiful. Watching Netflix or Hulu are just as beautiful as they were on the Note. Extremely pleased customer....
I have this problem with my Tablet Z, it does not scale movies to the correct aspect ratio/resolution when connected to my 1080p TV.
Since the Tablet Z has 1920*1200, watching a 1080p movie will show black bars at top and bottom on the tablet. But when connected to the 1920*1080 TV, there should be no black bars.
It WAS working on 4.1.2, 1080p movies filled the whole TV and was not squeezed (wide faces) like it has been since 4.2.2 and also with the new 4.3.
If I remember right also the UI was rendered more correctly in 4.1.2 and was not just a squeezed 1920*1200 on a 1920*1080 screen.
Any comments or ideas how to solve this annoying bug?

Thanks, tried with MX Player, but didnt get it to look as good as in 4.1.2. Anyway, photos and other stuff is still not displaying correctly.
It just seems strange that something that was working just fine in 4.1.2 has been messed up nin 4.2 and 4.3.

Yes, I have tried that.
Sony support knows about the problem and blames Google.
Users with Nexus 7 and 10 are having the same problem, but have been able to use apps to change screen resolution which in their case solved the problem.
I am rooted and have BusyBox so I have tried some of the apps and while I can have the Tablet Z to show 1920x1080 correct at it's screen, the TV is still showing a squeezed 1920x1200 image.
I find it rather strange that a (for me) very useful feature is broken in an update and Sony have no plans to fix it.

Is the MHL settings from Service Setting always visible or only when a MHL cable is connected ?

It is always visible, but you have to disconnect and reconnect the MHL cable to apply new settings.
