Guys I own a SGS2 and a LG LED TV.
Is there a way that I can connect my phone to LG LED TV (which is dlna certified) like the Samsung Allshare application?
What I want is to play games or browse the phone on the TV through HDMI.
You need to purchase an MHL cable.
I have that, I'm looking for a way to wirelessly do that

You can only stream pictures, music and video wirelessly, using apps such as AllShare or Skifta. Most DLNA certified devices such as your TV will be able to handle pics and music with no problem, however the video which it can display will largely depend on what formats your TV can recognise. My Sony is DLNA certified but can only recognise a particular mpeg format over DLNA
Anything else you'll need your MHL cable
Thanks pal, so there's no way I can play games on LED TV?

Forgive me for not being psychic, you didn't say you wanted to do it wirelessly. In fact, you said quite the opposite

No, the i9100 doesn't output video at all from the 3.5mm jack. So this cable won't work.

Hi there, sorry if this has been asked before. I did have a quick look (The first post in the FAQ thread) around but couldnt find this question, if it has already been asked please point me in the right direction .
I am looking at purchasing myself a SGS2 soon (Month or so, when the price drops) but I was wondering do you need a Samsung TV to connect it to the SGS2? I currently have a LG 32" and Panasonic 42", will either of these be ok?
Also a side question, which im guessing has been asked before, do I connect to the TV using a HDMI cable or DLNA? Im not exactly sure what DLNA is? is it just connecting to the Tv wirelesly?
Thanks for all the help. Cheers
Hi look here for DLNA http://www.dlna.org/digital_living/how_it_works/
In a nut shell yes its a way of communication between two wifi enabled devices that are DLNA certified . Your TV will have a certificate or state that it is DLNA compliant .
You can stream music , videos , etc to all DLNA devices over the air removing the need for cables.
I personally prefer cables as WiFi can be a hit and miss affair with most interference involving anything on 2.4 ghz will effect performance.
So any DLNA device your Samsung will connect to with the ALL share app
No it doesn't need to be a Samsung TV. Any TV which has a HDMI port would work perfectly fine.
I know it's maybe a little pedantic but you really dont need a tv to have a phone
The only thing a samsung TV one of the later ones will give you is the ability to use the phone as a wifi-remote and control.
DLNA which stands for complete crap, is actually good it's a simple way to stream from source to targets or to be able trigger said stream from targets specified. Best to do a youtube search as it will explain it more.
Most new tv's have dlna server clients built in. HDMI is a faster way to get a stream to play on a tv though so depends.
Side note : The current bit rate for HD vid shot on the phone is actually really crap, 10-13mbits so anything you shoot on the phone would stream over wifi using dlna quite easy. However if you decided to put a 40mbit per second HD movie, streaming over wifi maybe a little hard on all but the best wifi routes/systems. For that you would really want a hdmi out for your sgs2
Neways, hope that helps
Edit : 2 replies in the course of me typing this, must type faster
just be clear here, any TV with a HDMI port will allow picture and sound from the phone, however you are going to have to wait until june to get the adapter to allow this. This adapter (MHL) converts the mini usb port into a data port which will allow usb host, hdmi and charging from a MHL enabled TV (not available yet) and just picture and sound from a normal TV with HDMI.
Thanks for the replies everyobdy. Barry, I wouldnt want to record a video and then show it on Tv, I would most likely be downloading a movie/tv show to my PC, then onto my phone then play it through the TV. That can be done cant it?
Cheers

If you want to show wirelessly on TV, and the TV is DLNA compliant, you can show directly from PC to TV. You can also throw an HDMI cable from PC to TV if you can.

Thanks for that. So basically what you are saying is currently if I was connecting the phone to a TV using HDMI the sound would come out of the phone and not the TV? However when this adapter gets released the sound will come out of the TV?
If you use DNLA then no, sound and video both will come out of the tv. If you're talking about connecting to tv's HDMI then again no, both sound and video come out of the tv. In other words, if video comes out of the tv, so will sound. If video doesn't come out of the tv, then neither will sound.
Basically you either get both or none lol

correct, both send sound and video to the tv digitally.

Is it impossible to charge the phone while connected to a non-MHL TV, or does the adapter have a separate charging pass-through?
The MHL-HDMI adapter has a socket for a charger so you phone will get charged, too.
Hey people,
Just a quick question.... is it possible to connect the Galaxy S3 to the tv "wirelessly"?

I've got a hd ready tv, it's got a usb port at the back, but thats for services only, it's not a smart tv and I havent got DNLA....
Either buy a smart Blu-ray player or wait a few weeks for the Allshare cast dongle.
i posted in another thread, but I use the allshare cast on my tv/phone, or at least try to. The app on my tv freezes when trying to enter music or video folder. what gives?
Works perfectly for me, wireless to the tv and wireless to the SGS3.
Even use the SGS3 instead of my remote too.

Nexus Q is probably the best new option even if it is over priced.

Sort of. AllShare is built into Samsung Stock firmwares, and can connect to any DLNA enabled devices like TV over WLAN.
It doesn't work exactly like MHL though. MHL can mirror exactly what is on the screen, like your homescreen. DLNA will only stream music, videos and photos. Using AllShare, you won't, for example, be able to browse the internet on your TV via your phone.
Thank you for answer and help.:good:
Hi guys, just bought a Samsung smart TV and I wanted to know if and how could I stream movies from my phone to the TV Wireless.
I'm currently running Cm9. If there is an app required can someone upload it please.. thanks

You need all share to stream stuff on your smart tv. I don't know if all share works with CM9 though. All share is included in the stock Rom, so maybe if you ask somebody he/she will extract it for you do you can try it on CM9
it works on stock
Dont know about CM9, but with the stock rom, you just need to make sure your TV and Phone are connected to the same wifi and then you play your file on your phone. A symbol at the top of the stock player shows a 'choose your player' dialogues and then you choose your TV. Its starts playing either instantly or with a prompt on your tv, depending on your tv setup. I have mine set to auto accept. Works with photos and videos. I have tried with 1080p movies and it works without a problem.
Tv is LG LM670T. 3d smart. its gorgeous
I think most recently manufactured tv hs dlna.
Just search your tv model on Internet then you should be able to find out.
If so, then download bubbleupnp app from play store. You can either set up another server on your computer, which I do, using plex server, which you can download for free for your pc. Or you can use your phone as the server as well.
You can control all the streaming from your pc to your tv or phone to tv right from the bubbleupnp app. Very cool. If you install the extra bubbleupnp server on your computer, you can even stream remotely. Very easy to set up and very cool. Real cool.

If I understand well, you have two options: (1) stock Samsung rom and AllShare Cast (it needs Samsung framework, hence CM will not work) or (2) use DLNA (check if your TV supports it, but I guess so) and one of the apps mentioned above (which will also work in CM as it should support DLNA).
Sony Tablet S aka Sony SGPT111US/S
Hey guys, I started to realize the limitations of "throwing" because you have to throw within the Video Player videos you've saved or downloaded. We do a lot of streaming sites, so I guess mirroring is what we need.
A sony rep told me that those micro usb to HDMI adapters will not work. So I would like to know if there are solutions to what I want to do? Is there a hack or something to make micro usb to HDMI adapters work? Or, an app that would allow MIRROR DISPLAY?
PLease advise, thank you.
No working solutions for what I want to do?

The Sony Tablet S does not incorporate the necessary hardware to provide MHL USB to HDMI output. The tablet does provide, as you know, some DLNA capabilities with a few of its native apps. Perhaps other apps like DLNA Server, Streambels AirPlay/DLNA Player, or BubbleUPnP UPnP/DLNA will meet your needs.

They do not mirror your display.
I remember an app which mirrors your display onto a computer and control it from their via wifi though.
