Hey Guys I was just thinking you know those androids from China that let you watch TV without internet. I was thinking what if I took the apk file from that android and installed it on a normal android.
Well I tryed it out but it forced closed on me. So I was thinking maybe some on can make it work. So here's the apk. Its a 4shared link.www.4shared.com/android/ji5Izn6_/MtvPlayer.html Maybe you can make it work

this is almost definitely 100% the case. The same thing happens with FM radio apps on phones without FM radio hardware.
For sure this is the case. How can you watch TV on a device which havent a tv tuner hardware?
Dlna.. Uses wifi to pass video /audio to or from your device..
Watch videos from your phone on your pc or anything else connected to your router via lan or wifi.
Tv etc needs to support the function tho

Use a Bluetooth TV tuner. Maybe you can give it a go?

Yeah rite...I want a microwave and a gun as my phone...savvy ?
yeah this isn't DLNA or Bluetooth. it's an app for Chinese phones with TV hardware like an antenna and tuner.

You could use and USB reciever with an otg cable and the proper kernel/kernel modules for it. Maybe the apk won't FC than.

Moving to Q&A
There is an app in google playstore that can detect waves and also fm.
So, u can hear fm radio.
But you need an OTG usb host as antenna.

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
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
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).
hey guys can this work without the need for the ead-t10jdegsta all-share cast hub/ dongle ?
using a s3, and UA46ES6200MXRD smammy smart tv.
the all share stuff works awesome, if i'm in the default video player, can easily throw the video to the tv ...
but what about the screen mirror function?
ie http://youtu.be/7p6nOAcSUsE
i have a nfl game pass subscripton, and this is the easiest way to get it on my tv as far as i can tell ...if it works.
the allshare cast option on my s3 doesn't find my tv when it scans .... so i'm thinking maybe only the series 7 and up tv's actually do it with out the dongle.
but man ... if thats the case ...is it mearly samsung holding it back to sell more dongles or tv's?
i mean if i can send 1080p video to the tv via all share ...then why not screen mirror /allshare-cast?
wonder if there is a non official app on the market somewhere
same shiit here,i have 40es6800 tv and cant connect with my s3 via allshare cast. Maybe it is needed allshare cast dongle or maybe it is bugged ^^
I read somewhere that screen mirror via normal all share cast is not supported, only with the dongle whereas I am not sure if this is 100% true. (just got a normal Samsung TV and waiting for my dongle to be delivered)

as i heard that dongle is needed for non smart tv which doesnt have wifi direct, my tv has wifi-direct+wifi integrated adapter and still it doesnt work. Maybe sammy doesnt released atm firmware with that feature enabled
yeah from what im reading even the screen mirror (allshare-cast) isn't working via the dongle either ...which is a bit of false advertising imo if the case, all it does is provide wifi for non-smart tv's ?
wonder if it's a rights thing? i see they removed tv->cell screen mirroring from the samsung smartview app ...as in removed functionality what WAS working ... hmmmmm

The TV's need an software firmware upgrade which Samsung is working on.
Samsung advise that the option to use your S3 as dongle is still in development - they cannot give me any time frame. I think they are trying to get people to buy the dongle just in case this works with all DLNA / wifi enabled TVs, if it does they wont sell out as many dongles when the app come out.
I say this as I cant see any reason why it would still be in development, it was "coming soon" months ago and cant be that difficult to get working if the dongle has the same tech / protocols, should just be an app port at most.

you have stock firmware? rooted? and btw have u tried to mirror from s3 to smart tv without dongle?
Stock firmware on both devices, no root(not needed for now), allshare cast was later added through an update, note 10.1 worked out of the box. Yes, I've tried this also with an ue55es8000.
BTW there's an update called allshare cast dongle sw update im play store, I' managed to find it in myapps/all on the bottom.

AW: Allshare-Cast
No dongle on my main TV (sorry dongle was connected all the time) but had to pull the lan cord to get a wifi connection(this was for the smart view app), hope they correct this in the next firmware.
LH2 on the note 10.1, LH1 on the sgs3. Tv dunno I'am not at home.
Sorry for for the confusion! Mirroring was accomplished with the dongle. Will try without when at home.

Dongle is required for all TV's at the moment, Samsung havent yet enabled it properly for use with WIFI tv's, Samsung or otherwise. If you want to mirror now you will need the dongle and be using stock ROM.
hi folks
as the title says im after screen mirroring my s3 to my laptop it is equipped with dlna already or maybe wifi direct if its possible! according to what i read on the net it is possible to mirror s3's screen to a pc using dlna but i have no luck yet! when i scan with allshare app it does see my laptop i registered it with allshare play it sees it as an active online pc but refuses to stream music, pictures or video let alone screen mirroring!. do you think i should download a dlna server app? if so which is the best one? coz i have downloaded one called tvtrivia or something but it didnt help..
im from UK so i have the international version of s3 with original stock samsung rom on.
i have gone thru the forums but i didnt not come cross any thread about this apart from one that is about allshare cast which involves an extra hardware!
im very surprised though as i thought many people would be interested in screen mirroring!
what do you guys think about screen mirroring? anyone have made any research about this or even tried? what is your experience?
bump, also interested in this
yep - and me!
Airdroid can do basic screen mirroring but it runs at a low fps rate of ~1fps. MirrorOP is also the same I presume. I wish the was a solution for this using wifi, widi or even usb connection. That way I can easily play games with my phone as a remote or as a wheel substitute in teaching games lol.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
I use MirrorOp and works well. The frame rate is high and videos work well through it. The sender app costs $9.99 (~£6.43) for unlimited use.
My PS3 and my smart tv pickup my windows computer over wifi enabling me to show pictures music and videos on it. Im assuming this is a windows feature that allows it to show up like that. Is there any type of app that can fake the tv I to thinking my phone is a wi dows media?
I may be using wrong technology terms here but hope what I am saying makes sense
Hey,
There are many apps for that in Google Play, the technology is called "DLNA", just look for that in Google Play.
I use imediashare for displaying videos and pictures on my Sony TV. But with this app you normally send your media to the TV, and not the other way round.
Just try it!

No not the xfinity tv go app....the xfinity tv app that if you are on the same WiFi as your cable box you can basically use the app as a virtual cable box in another room. I am able to load the app up, it buffers then goes right back to the android home screen, any one have any luck or similar situation with this app?

I sideloaded the latest version of the Xfinity TV app version 3.1.0.014
The app does not support proper navigation with android tv remote as it is intended to be used on a touch interface.
You can however connect a mouse via USB OTG and use the app. I have watched around an hour of TV on the app and did not have any major issues.
It is a little buggy at times exiting and re-entering the app and I have had a force close but it is usable.
Once they update for Android TV support I will be very happy. (I am hoping they update for Android TV support. I haven't found any information to say they are for sure.)

Comcast released another app update today. Hopefully it didn't break things for you, let me know how it goes, I am thinking about getting a Nexus Player for this app. I doubt they will ever support Android TV, they would be losing $10 per month from folks who are currently renting their own comcast boxes for additional TVs.

I just uninstalled the previous version and installed the new version 3.1.1.019
I am not noticing any changes and it still seems to be working fine.
I have a keyboard/mouse combo connected to the Nexus Player that I use to navigate in the app which is a little clunky but does work.
I am watching some On Demand on it right now with no issues.

has anyone figured out why the Xfinity TV app closes or how to fix this I have the newest version installed on my nexus player and on my nvidia shield and on both devices the app closes after about 10 minutes of watching a live or on demand show and goes back to the Home screen? On my fire stick the app doesn't close but I get other playback error on live channels. The TV to Go app works 100% on my correctly it never closes but it lacks a channel guide and DVR abilities so I would rather use the X1 TV app instead. any suggestions on how to get the app to stop closing back to the home screen?
as a side note for those trying to find a controller solution, I use a QQ-Tech Mini Bluetooth Keyboard W Touch pad for Android OS Windows from Amazon for about 20 bucks. I use this for all 3 of my boxes to control the Xfinity TV and TV to Go apps it works grate its about 7 inches long so about the size of a TV remote. mine is rechargeable with a light up keyboard. this will also make using Chrome and other sideloaded apps on Android TV so much easier to use.

Understood, i refuse to get X1 because right now i pay 80 Bucks for 150 Channels + HBO and 75Megabit Internet. I don't need a DVR made by them, nor do i need anything else they deem fancy. I wouldn't have Comcast at all if i could have the option, but they are the fastest within 100 feet of my location. Lot of OTA DVR Options Exist, some are like 10-15 Years Old. (The PSX Console was a PS2 with built in DVR if that says anything). i Have a hacked Roamio i use to record stuff.

The Xfinity TV app (not TV Go) works, but sometimes looses track of the "Home" network.
We are using a friend's login info to test it- Our 2 NP's both have M 6.0.
It will not work out of the box hardwired for channels you have not viewed before- i.e on your "previously viewed channels" list, prompts you to use your cellular data connection, but has an "allow just this time" link that will let it through a LAN.
Seems the TV (not TV Go) app keeps track of the WiFi connections and designates one a "Home".
I have renamed my 2 access points the same name, with same SSID and passwords- it worked great for a day, then started locking me out of new channels.
ES FileExplorer lets you ftp into the NP with the LAN---> Remote Manager, so I will be copying the X-TV data over and see if that works.
As a side note- I will be testing the TV Go app found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=63688527&postcount=39
I found this Rii that works quite well for the NP in general, and the trackpad seems very good to me, especially double-tap, hold and swipe.

I wanted a 2.4 ghz romo, because I read many comments about BT sleeping issues.
The rest of my setup has this hub-

Sytanek's app mod at the link above works excellent on our stock NP with M 6.0.1
Can anyone confirm the apps still work on our NPs as of today?
