I wanted to watch a sports event on my tv from my phone. I pay for the service, but the must lock the phone so you can't put on a tv for some reason. Is there something that will let me mirror what is on my phone? I'm guessing once it senses phone is connected to hdmi out it will just shut down app so not way to bypass.

If connecting your ppc to a pc at your hosue is an option you could look into mymobler
http://www.mymobiler.com/
MyMobler is a cool app, it lets you see your ppc screen and control the ppc when it is connected to a pc via activesync.
So you could connect your ppc to your house pc, and then VNC or remote desktop into your house pc from work and control your ppc
Why would you buy a $400+ phone to use as a webcam when you could buy a 20 dollar camera that would do the exact same thing...

Because it's hard to hide the computer it's connected to in a woman's washroom....

So, you are gonna leave your phone at home? That's weird. You can get a $10 webcam, and use your phone to control THAT! I would think you would want your phone with you when you are not at home. What about calls? email? IM?
Verizon never made me return a phone i have where a few buttons dont work(see signature)....so...I cant sell it and activate it bc i am sure verizon has the esn marked . The xv6800 has wifi which means i can have the phone broadcasting without running a 50ft USB cable from my office to my dogs room. I want the camera to watch my dogs...one keeps jumping the dog gate...lol
I need to get data off my phone and I am trying to figure out ways to do it short of replacing the screen on it.
It is stock and has a PIN lock screen. When I try hooking it up through Kies it says I need to unlock my phone and apparently whatever steps I need to do I cannot.
I was wondering if I buy an MHL hdmi adapter if it would start mirroring as soon as I plugged it in or if I would need to enable mirroring somewhere in a menu stuck behind the lock screen which I cannot get to?
Anyone have an idea if the MHL adapter starts working immediately when plugged in (mirrors lock screen) or have any other ideas how to get my data off? Thanks.
Bump... I'm sure someone has used MHL HDMI out with this phone?
Hi all,
I've got a conundrum that I can't seem to work out from Googling. I suppose I will give the background then my question.
I use my xperia z2 tablet at the gym to watch TV shows because the treadmill is even more uninteresting than the landscape around my place. I don't like to be hooked up to it via headphones because I don't want to accidentally pull it over. So - I use a bluetooth audio receiver I plug my headphones into, and they receive the audio from the tablet (which is paired with the receiver).
I would prefer to just use my phone in place of the receiver, because the receiver is cheap and doesn’t work so well (and i cant believe it can't be done).
I thought two options could be:
1 using the phone as a bluetooth receiver, or
2 somehow using the wifi hotspot on the phone to enable the audio from the tablet to play through the phone.
Am I strange? Any ideas? Does something already exist or is it even possible?
Thanks.
Further update - I've asked at an electronics store and they had no idea. But I have faith in the people on here. Anyone?

I'm curious about being able to force my phone to use it's LTE data connection rather than a wifi network that it's connected to.
Here's why:
In my car, I have a head unit with a chromecast input through the hdmi port in the back. I put the chromecast there specifically to cast my phone's screen onto the head unit. Chromecast's screencasting works PERFECTLY for this purpose and I'm super happy with the performance
The problem comes in when I get to the fact that the chromecast can't cast my screen without an active internet connection. The dongle needs to download the casting app each time it starts, apparently.
My plan is to purchase a freedompop hotspot and go for the free 500mb a month plan, as the casting software for the chromecast is very small. The LTE connection on my phone is not an option because i'm not able to root, as well as whatever complications would arise from being the device broadcasting a network that it has to connect to.
What I'm trying to avoid is allowing my phone to consume data over the wifi network that it will have to connect to on order to cast its screen to the chromecast and my head unit.
I'm open to other creative solutions if you have any ideas. Miracast was an option, but after attempting to use a roku stick for that purpose, i've found that miracast and the Alpha aren't really good friends yet. If anybody knows of a miracast dongle that works well with the alpha, please share!
So I got a USB-C to HDMI + USB-A and I've downloaded a TV like launcher, it's working great with a Bluetooth mouse and I've also ordered a Bluetooth air mouse from AliExpress (Q5 Bluetooth air mouse).
But I'm afraid it's not enough, I want to connect from my iPhone (or any other phone for that matter) to my G5 tv box and watch youtube videos on it by tapping the cast button. I want to activate and browse through Netflix on my phone than watch on the TV. The phone has the power, and it is Android compatible, all I ask for is the full experience.
So Is there a way to flash Android TV to the G5? If not, is there a way to enable these features in other ways?
I I'm planning to do the same thing as well. But I think someone gonna have to build a custom rom that will allow those features
