my Galaxy S II without a networked Blu-ray player?
I have
1. Legitimate copy of the movie
2. The activation code
3. A Blu-ray drive in my computer to access the files which seem is a 1.3GB .dc file
4. The Pocketblu app on my SGS2
My PS3 is jailbroke so I will not network it and my laptop runs Linux only so no actual proper Blu-ray playback software.
google blue ray video converter, then convert it to a suitable format for your device. eg - divx.
thats it

I can't even do that yet since the new version of BD+ used on the disc has not been broke yet. Which sucks since I wanted to copy the movie to my HTPC running XBMC, since I can't stand sitting through the opening warnings and Fox logos.
I can only get the digital copy to play on my computer. Won't play on my Infuse. I'll give my ipad a try tomorrow.

It's about to happen. I usually buy the Bluray+DVD version, but BB didn't have a set like that.
Doesn't it suck when stealing a film is easier than buying it.

Correct me if i'm wrong, but wasn't the purpose of including a "Digital" copy of the movie to be able to play it on the computer and portable devices?
I don't know if this has been posted yet. I had searched and didn't find anything.
I am trying to stream movies from my PC with windows 7 to the 3D. Every time I search for media devices, it says no devices found. I think I have everything set up on the computer right but it still won't connect.
Thanks in advance!

I thought you can only stream from your phone to PC and not the other way round.
when i'm at home, i just use cifs manager to mount my windows shared folders.
this allows me to play (stream) the videos via wifi as if they were on my sd card
Try to use SimpleSync or Skifta. they seem to work
Make sure that media sharing is on on your computer

PC-> Evo streaming
This isn't exclusive to the evo but Plex is an application that can do it. Just install the computer and android version. After it catalogs your desired folders or entire hard drive it will stream it.
Awesome! Thanks a lot guys. I appreciate all the helpful responses!
Now, are there any apps that will allow me to stream movies from my PC at home to my phone at work? Both are connected to wifi.

You could try Orb. Not sure what quality you'd get, not used it for a few years but if memory serves me right it transcodes on the fly to flash format so you can watch movies on your phone via a flash enabled browser. I used it for a bit on a wii before homebrewing it.

Would this allow 3d movies to be steamed? That is really the only thing I would want to steam and I have a ton of them. Way too many to put on my 32GB sd card. I have already filled twice and had to delete a bunch of stuff.

Yeah, I know what you mean about not enough space on a 32gb SD

Tbh I've not tried tversity with this phone yet, but i believe it transcodes to flash, so might work seeing as we can view 3D YouTube vids *shrug*
How do I connect the Sony Xperia S in Mass Storage Mode?
There must be a way? Media Transfer Protocol (MTP) mode is not ideal for transferring Photos and Videos (ironically) as it doesn't show you thumbnails for the Pictures and Videos on your phone. Neither can you stream the videos straight from the device this way..
You have to first click on the file and wait for it to load, just to find out its not the one you want, and repeat the arduous process all over again for the next Video, till you get to the one you wanted..
Please Help

We can all open the storage on the device..windows does this by itself through autoplay when you connect the phone..
I'm talking specifically about mounting the storage with Full access privileges, as it would be if you plugged in a mass storage device (such as a hard drive).
All the previous Xperia range allowed this, and of what I know, most android devices allow this. This is a very fundamental feature required and expected of all phones these days. Your not exactly going to enjoy downloading a 3GB Video file only to find out that's not the one you were after..

It's also one that is going away with unified storage models. There are technical reasons behind this (as it's all one partition leveraging a fuse file system to mimic external storage) that it can't simply be "unmounted" from the OS side and mounted as external storage.

So the paying Consumers lose another round
vs Manufacturers and their cost cutting techniques..
Soon we will have phones that are nothing to do with what we want, they will be what's left after its attacked by a budget sheet. Zombies of the mobile world, where passion doesn't exist..
(lol got a bit carried away there, but you get the point) since when does something that's been demonstrated to be the more user friendly option (as demonstrated on the Galaxy s2 amongst other android handsets), get thrown out as if consumers are too stupid to notice that we are being put at a disadvantage?
oh well, welcome to the pathetic future, where what's in my pocket is what the account manager needed to get his bonus this year

It's more of a movement that does away with insufficient internal storage and allows the user to leverage available space however they see fit, but there is a tradeoff there.

I actually like the way it is now better. No more hassling around with too little storage for apps (HTC desire was horrible in that perspective). The built in memory is faster than SD cards. And mtp is working fine for most things.

Yey - they do a pc companion... problem is, I'm using a mac...
So no way of copying photos from/to it using iPhoto.
On the plus side, at least the "Salling Media Sync" application I used to use to copy music to my Hero/Desire still works with this phone when plugged in by usb.

You can use Sony Bridge for Mac to sync your music to your iTunes and it will move photos to your phone from iPhoto. It will also do software upgrades as well and use it as a file manager for your files on your phone.
MTP works fine on Windows, and there is the excellent Bridge for Mac for all Mac users:

Thanks for the Bridge to Mac tip guys... I've had my Sony Xperia S for a day so far, loving the phone so far - screen and camera are awesome, nice bump in speed over my old Desire too. Just didn't see anything on the mac bridge in all the google results on the subject of transferring files.
Will give it a go.

Anynet+ is just HDMI CEC and will work fine! Has been tried and tested.
If the Xbox supports standard DLNA, music sharing should work.

The irony is, that Xperia S choose to ignore this advantage as it still divides flash into "internal" and "external" storage. In my eyes it is one of the biggest flaws of this phone (together with flaps covering the interface sockets).
But it is definitely a way forward and the problems are solely on the computer software side. Which will get attention only when there are enough users demanding for this.
Is it possible to transfer .MKV files with MTP?
Hi everyone, I'm new here so be nice
Just bought my phone today, and I'm having a few odd issues. I'm trying to transfer some .mkv files to my phone to play through moboplayer (one of the apps that I saw in the file transfer thread), but using the MediaGo program they won't transfer (an error stating "could not transcode" pops up, and when I click on the error it states no codec could be found, even though that shouldn't matter), and by using Windows Explorer to transfer them Explorer just crashes - which has never happened to me before with any program.
I've changed all the setting that I can find in MediaGo which should allow transfer, and still nothing. So, is there anything else I can do to get this working short of rooting the phone?
Thanks guys for your (hopefully impending and helpful ) help
Take a look at "My Phone Explorer", its a windows progam and a buddy app on your phone. Makes it really easy to push and pull files over wifi, usb or bluetooth.
Thanks, I'll give it a whirl

There is no function for charge only - usb debugging is in setup -> Programs -> Development.
Windows explorer is behaving strange for the moment - only hope is it will be fixed in a new upgrade (as far as I remember i did not have it on the .62 version). I backed up yesterday on wi-fi using X-plore on my phone - time consuming but worked.

I can't use WiFi unfortunately, as one of the campus terms and conditions is that you can't set up your own WiFi network.
It's the only problem I have with my phone really, although I tried torrenting an mkv file (that I own on my pc) using a torrent app and that works fine using mx player . I think I may be in love with this phone
I've not been having any issues transferring files to the device through Windows Explorer, however, i'm finding that files larger than 4GiB aren't accepted - it seems like the 25GiB Data partition on the internal storage is formatted FAT32... which seems a bit pointless to me.
Surely a Device with a 1280x720 screen and enough grunt to render 720p video should be able to accommodate large files on its data partition!?
Silly Sony
You need encode your data smaller convert to mp4 only

I can confirm this problem with windows explorer and the XPS - this issue is with mkv files it seems, regardless of file size. It was really confusing when I was transferring my libraries over to the new phone and it just crashed winexplorer partway =(
MyPhoneExplorer did succeed in transferring the mkv file though, thanks.
But I'm sad to say that not everything plays well even with DICE player... the XPS still struggles with some 720p h264 mkv files. So might still have to convert whatever you want to watch with something like Handbrake =(
running 6.0.A.3.73

Yeah, I updated to the .73 firmware and still not working... Ouch.
I converted the file to .avi though, and can't notice the difference in quality. However it would be nice to put some of my hd films on there without conversion.

Bro, is there a way to transfer music to the G Watch without All access pass and Play Music. In my country Google's music services are not available hence transfer to android option is not there in the settings. Therefore I am unable to transfer songs from the phone to the watch.
Please help.

You can simply do that via ADB.
Just enable USB Debugging on your watch connect it via USB to your PC and search how to correctly use "adb push" to transfer files
Can't give you a guide now sadly, I'm on my phone.

I have no idea how to do that but I am reading about it to know more. For some reason my LG G Watch is not installing drivers properly. I think I may need to download the entire SDK to use adb. But thanks for responding.

Here you can find a little guide how to do so over your Smartphone via Bluetooth. It's slow tho, only ~50KB/s so this would take a long time for larger files.
If you want to connect your SmartWatch directly via ADB and USB to your PC you need something like an "LG ADB Driver". I found one but only after an hour of searching or so... I don't have it here at work sadly.
At least that's the only one that worked for me.

I didn't play them "on the watch", I connected my Bluetooth Speaker (which you can see in the background) and then connected my PC to those so I can record the audio.
After messing about a bit with Google Play Music and trying to get it work, I gave up on that and just went the ES File Manager route as well. Working great with the built-in media player!
Too bad I can't find a music player that'll work (GMMP and Apollo don't, just FCs).
I got this to work. I had music that I had uploaded to Google cloud using their program on my computer. That's the only music that seems to be able to be downloaded to the watch using Google play music app on the phone. I'm assuming music purchases from Google play will work too. Idk about that tho cuz I've never bought from them.

Sent from my Nexus 4 using XDA Free mobile app
In case anyone runs into the problem where music is playing, but you don't hear anything, just repeatedly type in "adb shell input keyevent 24" and hit enter a few times. For some reason, occasionally when I factory reset the watch, its volume goes on mute. This just increases the volume.
