galaxy sII as bluetoothaudio receiver? - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everybody
I would like to redirect some sound generated by my windows 7 PC by bluetooth to my phone. (Samsung Galaxy S2)
Is it possible and if yes: how?
I tried a lot. but seems like only the opposite direction works.

I think it's better to use xbmc for example to stream music via dlna and use a dlna app on your phone to play songs from your pc.

Samsung AllShare?
I have that installed on my main PC, and can happily stream stuff from my PC to my Samsung HDTV. PS3 also picks up AllShare on the PC as a MediServer.
All three have wired connections to the router, and the phone connects wirelessly.
This reply is probably way too late, and not that helpful. Sorry!

Video out through WIFI, possible?

Hi, was wondering if its possible to stream what appears on the device's screen to a tv through wifi. I mean the same way you can use a MHL video cable. I got a dlna tv and I can stream video and music, but I would like to stream what appears on the screen cause I would like to use my workout app through tv's screen instead of sgs2's screen.

I think there is a Samsung app for some Samsung TVs.
Unfortunately, I do not know a dlna streaming app which will connect the SGS2 to any dnla tv via wifi.
If you find a solution, let me know (via PM).
You should have a pre-installed app called AllShare on your phone that lets you stream to any compatable device from your phone using wifi.But must be compatable obviously.

[Q] how do i get allshare to work on the player

Hello pplllzzzi just saw the allshare app on the galaxy player 5.0 us version and then i tried using is somehow but it didnt work. Has anybody tried it and succesfully used it?
The Allshare app uses DLNA. I have not tried it but my understanding is that DLNA is a media sharing protocol that works over UPNP. Basically, you need to have another device on your network that is sharing media files using DLNA. Someone correct me if I'm wrong but Playstation 3 uses DLNA right? I think there are DLNA servers for linux but I'm not sure about windows... Probably need to have UPNP enabled on router too...
If I am correct, Windows 7 comes with a DLNA server. The media player in Windows 7 can share music and videos with other DLNA devices.
You can also try something like Twonky, TVersity and many other DLNA server.
Ok thanks both of you

[Q]Android as playback device

I've searched the forums here and other sites for my question, but did not find an answer. Here is what I would like to accomplish:
-On my laptop (Win 7), add my Android (Galaxy Nexus 4.0.3) as a playback device. My phone is connected to my bookshelf speaker setup that is in the same room but not near my desk. So when I am playing music on my laptop, let it be Pandora or Google music streams, I would like the sound to be played from the phone that is connected to the speakers.
I have looked at two possible approaches:
1) Remote control the phone and use the Google Music app on the android to play the songs. Essentially control the phone from PC. I did not find a suitable app for that one
2)Use the phone as a playback device on the Win 7.
If anyone here has a different approach advise, feel free to share.
So is there a way to do this?
I guess I did not do a detailed enough search. I found a way to accomplish this.
On the PC side, installed the application called AirFoil.
On Android, installed the app called airbubble.
Stream sound from Airfoil on the PC to Airbubble on Android work just fine (with a slight delay)
The nice thing about AirFoil is that you can choose the source of the sound, let it be the web browser or your media player.
I hope this helps others.
I found this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nav.aoaservice
You need root for it to work.

[Q] AllShare not working

Hi !
A little backgound :
I have a Samsung SmartTV UE40 Series 6 which has DNLA and Samsung's AllShare.
I also have my Samsung Galaxy S3 (Internation, i9300, rooted and unlocked).
Both my laptop and desktop computers find my tv and can stream video and music to the TV (DLNA), no problem.
With my GS3, when in Galery or movie player I can "send" the picture/music/video to the TV, but when I launch AllShare Play the Phone doesn't fin d my TV. Same thing with allShare Control : no way to detect the TV. And, obviously, when I try to find the TV with AllShare Cast, same thing: nothing at all.
Has anybody any idea about what could be going on ?
Thanks a lot.
