to stream videos from windows 7 to my ps3?
not using the internet just using the prime's hotspot feature
Why do you want to use the tfp as hotspot instead of just setting up an ad-hoc connection on your windows 7 machine and connect your ps3 directly to it!
I don't understand why someone would want to use the prime as a hotspot. it as no cellular data and any device you would point to your prime could obviously hook up to what ever wireless ap your prime would have. am i missing something here?

? again, I want to stream media from my laptop on to my ps3. I notice the prime has a hotspot feature so me not being tech swavy I figured I connect the laptop to the prime and the ps3 to the prime to share media
Like I said you don't need the prime your laptop has a hotspot feature as well. Just go to the network center add a connection create an ad-hoc connection give it a name and password done. Now connect your ps3 to the network and start streaming.

Hello all,
I have been using my hd2 as a wifi router without issue with my desktop pc or my old macbook. I've even been able to watch netflix on them this way.
But I can't seem to get my Sony WIFI enabled dvd player to connect to the phone. The player sees the phone but will not connect. Any suggestions???
Thanks,
Scott

Does your Sony DVD Player support a ADHOC connection? The HD2 only uses a ADHOC connection when using it for a WiFi Router.
ADHOC is a computer to computer connection so it may not support this type of connection.
If you find out it does not support ADHOC, then there might be a work around. It will be a little bit of a pian in the rear but hey it is a work around. If you have a USB port or a Eithernet port on your Sony DVD player you can use your laptop to connect to the DVD player either via USB cable or Eithernet cable and select allow other computers to access the internet via your laptop and then set the connection up on your DVD player and you will have internet access. Sony PlayStation 3 owners have to do this to use the WiFi of a HD2 as it does not support ADHOC connections. With your DVD player being Sony I bet it is the same.
Thank you
You were right, it did not support the ADHOC. It took me a little while but I got it working.
Thank you so much, I really like using all of my unlimited-as slow as it might be at times.

Please post how you got it working so others as well as myself can benifit from it.
I have a Windows 7 pc with XBMC installed, and I want to use the android XBMC remote app to control it.
Now here is the problem, I do not have a router, instead I connect to the internet using my android phone (Samsung Galaxy S2) as a hotspot.
So now to my question.
Is it possible to somehow use the phone to control XBMC while at the same time using the same phone as a wifi hotspot.
I guess that would be the only solution to my problem, becouse without the phone acting as a hotspot, I have no internet connection to the PC what so ever?
Thanks in advance!

Hi there,
I've look in the other topic before starting this one as the others didn't treat about the same things.
I'm under windows 7 on my computer, I recently had a bluetooth dongle (bluetooth 4.0 dongle) on my computer.
What I want to do is to use my internet connection (cable) of my computer with my tf201 using a bluetooth connection.
I can pair the computer and the tf201 but I didn't have the possibility to use the internet acces whereas I have PAN service avalaible in my computer on the option with the tf201.
Did someone already do that and can help me doing all the necessary so I can do this sharing ?
I notice that the virtual PAN network is indicated as a cable network (I don't understant why but I suppose it's the way it work under windows)...
I hope someone could help.
See you.
No one can help me ?
I saw a video on how to connect a wireless ps3 controller
and i wanted to ask if can i connect a wireless xbox controller to the s3
If you have a special reciever, that is actually for the pc, you can of course
But without it just wont work.
Btw, the wirelless connection between the x360 and the controller is based on a proprietary 2.4ghz protocoll, what is kinda wifi, more or less.
Wifi on my router works also over 2.4ghz and the 5ghz frequency, so it could be possible to connect the 2 devices over wifi direct maybe, if we could know more?

Nope, not Wifi, only RF. A lot of devices (including wireless keyboards/mice, wireless home phones, ...) all cram in the 2.4Ghz frequency because it is free, meaning you need no license to broadcast in it.
That's one of the reason why Wifi is going to 5GHz; it's simply too full in to 2.4Ghz for proper transmissions. (The other reason is that higher frequencies allow even more throughput on the cost of battery life)
I have the wireless Xbox 360 controller and USB PC receiver. I can't get it working with my Galaxy S3.
With the OTG cable USB Stick, keyboard, mouse are ok but not the xbox controller...
Any advise?
Xbox controllers do not work out of the box but need the app Joystick center.
If it still does not work:
Install and open the app "Terminal emulator"
Tybe "dmesg > /sdcard/log.txt" (without Enter!) then plug in the receiver.
Hit the Enter key
Upload file log.txt in the main folder of your internal storage

no you can you hawe to get a USB cord
I'm curious about being able to force my phone to use it's LTE data connection rather than a wifi network that it's connected to.
Here's why:
In my car, I have a head unit with a chromecast input through the hdmi port in the back. I put the chromecast there specifically to cast my phone's screen onto the head unit. Chromecast's screencasting works PERFECTLY for this purpose and I'm super happy with the performance
The problem comes in when I get to the fact that the chromecast can't cast my screen without an active internet connection. The dongle needs to download the casting app each time it starts, apparently.
My plan is to purchase a freedompop hotspot and go for the free 500mb a month plan, as the casting software for the chromecast is very small. The LTE connection on my phone is not an option because i'm not able to root, as well as whatever complications would arise from being the device broadcasting a network that it has to connect to.
What I'm trying to avoid is allowing my phone to consume data over the wifi network that it will have to connect to on order to cast its screen to the chromecast and my head unit.
I'm open to other creative solutions if you have any ideas. Miracast was an option, but after attempting to use a roku stick for that purpose, i've found that miracast and the Alpha aren't really good friends yet. If anybody knows of a miracast dongle that works well with the alpha, please share!
