I've tried the media center to get working, but it just simply doesn't. My notebook and my x10 are connected to the same wireless network, but the PC just won't detect the x10.
How exactly does the media server works?? I've already looked and there isn't any tutorials, videos o threads asking this.
Any help will be useful
Btw:
Since I dont use it, is it safe to remove? Or removing it will it mess up some Wolfs tweaks?
Try going under network settings on your computer and disable the firewall

I have a Q. I can't get it working either. Does my comp need to be connected to my router via Wi-Fi also to get it to work?

I wrote up a how-to the other day regarding Sony Ericsson's Media Server app. I've now updated my post with information on how to get things working with Windows Media Player 12 that is a part of Windows 7.
Just go here:

Hi all,
Is it possible to share my PC or Laptop's current internet connection with my Galaxy S 2? What I mean by that is I want to be able to plug in my phone to my laptop via usb, and use the PC's internet instead of using my 3G data.
This is separate to things like making the laptop or pc broadcast its connection via wifi, I'm only talking about sharing the connection via usb. Is it possible? Even if it means flashing a certain ROM?
That is a htc sense only feature afaik

That link is apparently only for Android 2.2, and it was written in 2010.
Is there no other way, no app or anything I can download to make this work? Surely the functionality is there...? Any particular ROM that can do this even?
I too am very interested in this feature. I actually asked the same question before:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1238358
But I got rubbished by some stuck up prick...
I am new to the DLNA. I have a PS3, a Google Revue, and a Samsung DLNA-compliant TV. However, I'm not sure how to stream media to those devices. I have used the Connected Media app, but nothing shows up on the EVO 3D nor the other devices. I read that other people talked about the Share Media app, but I couldn't find it on my phone. Did I do anything wrong?
UPDATE: Finally got it to work. It's really the problem of the wireless bridge. If I have the devices on the same router/access point, it works! Thanks for the tip.
I am having the same problem. The only way I can make my homenetwork connect to eachother is to reset my router. But after a day or two the connection is gone unless I reset my router again. So I am guess the automatic IP assining conflicts causing the problem.
can you give me more information about your setup, like which devices are you using?
I have a ASUS RT-N13U router with WPA2 security.
The app is called media share and it is a default program on stock. You just have to start it, select what you want to share and go to the other device and it should automatically see it.

I don't have Media Share on my stock Rogers ROM, not sure why they removed it. I read everywhere that people were talking about this Media Share app, but I don't know if there is any way to download it elsewhere. Is it an Android stock or HTC stock app?

I think it is HTC stock. I will see if I can extract the apk.

Stupid question, but you do have you phone connected to the same Wireless router as the devices you are trying to send the media to? My Sony just shows up in the Connected Media app. And I click on it and it streams right away, never had to do anything. If so, maybe it is a DCHP issue on your router. Try enabling DCHP.
Also, I do not think it is compatitable with PS3. I cannot do it that way, just my TV over WIFI.

The phone and the TV is technically on the same network, but not on the same router, since I am using a wireless bridge to bridge the 2 routers together. Not sure if that caused the problem? I'll try to connect them on the same router and restart the router to see if that helps.
Finally got it to work. It's really the problem of the wireless bridge. If I have the devices on the same router/access point, it works! Thanks for the tip.
Hi, I've looked at the other threads but I can't find any definite answers among them (either lacking or requiring additional equipment).
Anyway, my first question is how do I share my laptop's wifi connection (connected to my school's wifi, but they limit access to 1 MAC ID per student) to my S2, through USB? Like, is there an app/program/setting I can just use upon hooking up my S2 to my laptop and it can share its Internet connection to my phone?
Second question is how to work it the other way around, like if I have the wifi connection restricted to my S2 only, and share its internet connection to my laptop (and if it's possible wirelessly, to my iPod touch as well).
Thank you for any help. Cheers :good:
I am using 4.0.3 ICS on my I9100 S2, standard Win7 laptop.
Don't think you can via USB, phone doesn't have those capabilities. I guess you'd have to do it via WiFi. I imagine you'd setup some kind of 'server'/whatever software on the laptop similar to how you setup an SSH tunnel/relay (which involves your phone connecting to a host machine remotely which uses a secure connection to use the internet rather than accessing it normally via your carrier).
There's probably threads on here which would have the info you're after, but don't use XDA search; do a Google search & append XDA to your search terms. Gets better results in my experience. Also a straight out Google search should yield the info you want (it's not going to be easy tho; expect to do a lot of reading/fiddling).
Re: using the phone as a WiFi hotspot for the laptop, again, many many threads on here/Google search about setting up same. Re: doing anything with the iPod touch, you should know you're in the wrong place for that.

On phone i have internet from PC but i cant share it VIA WiFi from prone to laptop ;/
Good find with that app So let me get this right...You can get PC to phone internet working via USB with that app, but when you try and get a laptop to connect to the phone via WiFi and use that connection, you cant. Is that the problem ?

I guess I'd do the latter one (Google -> +xda). Thanks. And I guess you misinterpreted what I said about the iPod, I meant if it's possible to connect to the phone's hotspot if it's connected to wifi (using an iPod, laptop, etc.), but thanks really.

I see. I think I'll decide on rooting my S2 then in a few weeks. I heard the JB update's around the corner and I might just wait for that.
Thanks guys, anyone who can add even more is free to do so

it's like connecting both device with usb cable but only using wifi connection either with or without wifi router... :fingers-crossed: ...
what you need is actually a couple of servers running off the sony maybe ftp or xmpp for direct tranfer. for remote admin, vnc servers are probably the way to go.

Hi all,
Just bought my Nokia 8 the other day. Got it for AUD$499! from Harvey Norman - who was out of stock - but price matched by JB Hi-fi.
I was using a Samsung Note 4, which was doggone slow. Might be resetting that one and putting it up for sale - any potential takers?
My Note 4 used SideSync, which connected to by PC via USB cable. Sidesynced allowed me to see and control my Note4 on my PC. I can do everything on the phone from my PC - I liked sending texts and SMS for example.
There doesn't appear to be an equivalent for the Nokia 8. I have seen alot of mirroring apps that require screen casting, but none which allows connection via USB.
The question - what is the equivalent out there to SideSync (which is only compatible with Samsung phones. I've tried it and it does not work). I've enabled USB debugging. The Nokia 8 says SideSync keeps closing. I can see the phone from my PC as it's connected by USB - so I can see the files on the phone from my PC - but cannot see the phone's screen or do anything to the phone.
Thanks all.
Hi,
You could try AirDroid if you know, which it gives you the option to control the phone and send texts and many other things. The only thing which i don't know if it suits you, is that it syncs through the wifi network... You connect the phone to your wifi network, and from your pc you go to a link that the app gives you and scan the QR code and thats it...
Try it maybe it will do the job for you.

Thank you for responding. I really want a USB connection to the PC as going over the air through my companies WiFi I am sure will slow things down. I have looked at Apowermirror and they want you to pay to use it and it's UI is a bit clunky. There's also Wondershare Go, but there doesn't seem to be an app on the playstore for screen mirroring, though I did do this with my Note 4.

Hello, give a try to My Phone Explorer. It's free and very straight forward I think. I used it without issues.
If you Google it you'll find a link from fjsoft, that's the right one.
Good luck.
Hello, i use Vyzor to cast the screen of my N8 on my PC by using the usb connection.
The application can be used as free but if you need some quality you will need the paid version.
