What is wrong with using Opera Mini?

Didn't allow local web addresses.
Gear web better but not standalone.
I run a few set services at home and would be good to connect to them without having watch connected to phone.

I see it in under Samsung Gear > Samsung Gear Apps > search for browser: results Opera & GearWeb - Internet Browser for Gear.
It's supposed to work with the Gear S, but, again, reviews are mixed. If you don't see it, the dev may have only made it available for the US store - bad mistake if that's the case.

GearWeb works OK you will not see any pictures tho and to use it. You can use the Web standalone or share your phones browser on your watch it's more like Internet for a dumb phone very very basic

By stand alone I mean no bluetooth connection. In remote mode the browser didn't work

Yes standalone Gear Only mode GearWeb works using the Gear S Internet/ WiFi nothing to do with the phone and it's Bluetooth/remote connect

Sorry I do not understand what you mean. When I tried it with no bluetooth the Internet didn't work.

Pulsar g2 had once moded the application but I think it's no longer available.

Team viewer worked great on my nook color for controlling my PC from anywhere. Just had to set it up on both the PC and nook. Easy and free in the market.
Never tried it on the tab though.

It gave me total control of my PC.... Showed my screen almost like remote desktop. Freaked the kids out when I took control of the mouse from anywhere. lol
Edit: Just noticed you wanted to stream some TV shows. Don't know if that would be clunky or not.

Not sure if it would depend on the connection speed or more the capabilities of the app itself. I shall give it a try tonight. Much appreciated mate and looking forward to freaking out the wife haha

The only problem is using Teamviewer you would need to set a prefixed password and username on it as it generates random per session so would be best. Also it needs to be on, closing teamviewer on your PC means you cut off the communication. Also it doesn't require a high end internet as teamviewer by default drops the quality and turns off wallpaper's and such per connection to enhance speed to navigate vs graphics.

That's fine my PC is on 24/7 anyway so that wouldn't be a problem.. if it sacrifices graphics for speed do you think maybe its not gonna be suitable for what I need it for?

Think you can set a password to use all the time in options, but it's been awhile since using. So could be wrong, but never remember having a random password. But yes I do remember having to have the PC on, but believe I could still wake it.
Again, I've not used my nook color for some time with this. So give an old man a break if I'm wrong.

i use splashtop which basically works like windows remote desktop - you can see and interact with your home pc like you were in front of it - great for playing back videos as well

Server runs on Linux, Mac or PC. I have a Linux server running so I can't tell you how good the Windows port is.
I have never used it for an outward facing connection though it is designed to work that way. I have it running on my old Dinc, Kindle Fire and the G-Tab. Video streaming works very well.

In my opinon it is all about the bandwidth. Some (HD) Movies need up to several megabit per second...
A solution is to use a VPN connection to the home network and a UPnP-AV server/client.
I use Twonky and BubbleUPnP, but only in my LAN. With a VPN and sufficient bandwith on the connection this would do the job over the internet, too.

With a little planning you could upload the video files that you want to be able to access to Dropbox, Minus or whatever Google offers that is similar. Then all you would have to do is access the files from your tab. If you have enough bandwidth for video, it should work great.
Check it out and let us know if my idea works for your needs.

Never thought about cloud.. like u say though forward planning would be needed and I'd have to upload everything that I'd want to watch each time before I go anywhere. Nice idea though

I have had cerberus installed on my PC for a long time, it allows you to use your PC as an FTP server.
This way you can have access to your chosen files anywhere with the internet. On your mobile most file explorers have a FTP option to move files to or from the PC.
Its handy to have access to all your music, or maybe use it the other way to backup your photos ect when away from home for a extended period.
you could also stream over FTP if your file explorer allows you to map the FTP server as a local drive

allshare play.apk

This worked on my galaxy nexus http://m.m3m0.bazaarandroid.com/app/market/com.sec.android.app.allshare/1200/428569/AllShare Player you'll have to install aptoide,which has apps just as the play store, but with no restrictions. try it and let me know if it work. Worked on 10.1 tablet too.
Just installed it on my galaxy nexus as well. Thanks for the link.
This I would love, but without having to install an extra app just to download.
I use Allshare Play on my computer to my phone when I'm out. Would be nice to have to use it on my tablet off the network as well.
Does the app still work if you uninstall aptoide?

You can try Twonky. With Twonky Beam you can even beam video from tablet to PC or Smart TV (only HTML5 sites).
I am using also MediaHouse (the Pro version, but the Lite works as well).

Thanks for the share.
Can someone upload the apk file cos I would like to added to my rom..?
Has anybody tried pushing the full Allshare package to the System Apps (IE Allshare Play, Allshare Controller, etc.)
One thing that bites is that while the included Allshare apk for this tablet is good for DLNA, it would be nice to have the remote access features of Allshare Play.
Sure, there are tons of alternatives, but Allshare/ Allshare Play has great privacy settings for DLNA so you can restrict access easily and access your home computer when you are away from your home LAN.
thank you

For documents I use the google drive/docs/quickoffice, I can use my work/home computers to write the main stuff from browsers because it's faster, everything is synced automatically so I can easily edit or review the documents from the tablet when there's no computers around.

They are talking about Gear Fit Launcher on Apps from GP for Gear Fit
thread and using with Tasker. Maybe you solve it with this. I didn't understood how to use Gear Fit Laucher and if using Tasker, do I have to root my phone; not interesting about it becouse it is powered by KNOX.

No need to root
Hello, you can control your camera by Gear Fit using GF Launcher + Tasker shorcut. No root needed
And you don't need to turn on your smartphone screen, just open GF Launcher, click on your Camera app shortcut and then click on your Task shortcut.

Thank you. It started work at first time. And after "Naming Sequence" value "Chronological" the next picture have new name; not overwriting the first/ old.
New feature for the Launcher would be if it could stream the screen what camera is viewing on Gear Fit screen. Is the bluetooth bandwith enough, dunno. But not needing real time video, just to check if the aiming of camera is right.
Gear fit camera App
There is an app on the play store.
There were a few bugs to start with but now I find it really good.
