[Q] S3 wont stream to TV - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Sitting watching a recorded TV show last night which was streaming from a hard drive i have connected to my Xbox360 when suddenly it cut off and another video started to play. Turned out my step son was messing about with his new Note 10.1 tablet and had clicked on the icon to share the video. I have been trying to get this feature to work on my S3 for ages but it doesnt work. I have ensured file share etc is all set up, set to share pics, music and movies. I get the option to scan for devices and select both my xbox and my Panasonic TV that is connected to my WIFI network, one point here is that i can place a tick in the boxes for the various devices but there is no save option, i have to back out from the selection screen. When i go back in later the ticks are no longer there so i am not sure if they are saved. Anyway this is really bugging me as i hate being beat with things like this. I have read loads of postings and i know lots of people have this feature and it "just worked". Has anyone had problems getting it to work and found some step i am perhaps overlooking. Any help appreciated.

I assume you tried it via settings/other settings/dlna?

I'm using BubbleUPnP, found that it's a lot better than the default functionality.

Ok it now gets weird. I installed Bubbleupnp and it worked well. Then found that even without it running that the files on my phone will now do what it should as far as streaming goes. If i go to a video, song or pic, the icon now appears on phone screen to stream directly to TV via xbox 360. Cheers for the help.

Flash Video

Is anyone having trouble with flash videos? I have flash installed and the video on web page says I don't.
Which webpage? I can give it a try.
Ditto. Dailyshow.com and Colbertnation.com weren't connecting when I click on the videos. After upgrading to Flash player 10.3 on market I get a icon for flash videos that look like a small blue house and nothing happens when I tap on it.
Works just fine for me

Hey, thanks for the replies.
I tried the dailey show and it worked. But my local news stations, CNN and things like that do not.
The same ones that do not work on Flyer work on my phone (Captivate).
Anyone have any other ideas?

Ii can watch CNN.com in Dolphin HD browser. I like the tabs. Also have Flash 10.3.
I think I have found what the issue was. I was using peep and it's viewer and there and only there is where it kept saying I needed flash player.
Using any other twitter app worked just fine and worked fine with the browser.
Not sure why peep does not work. I really liked it in landscape.

Searching for a ROM with best camera app

Hi,can someone recommend me a ROM does have a great camera app and powerful enough to skip mkv video file.
In my current ROM ,I have crappy camera app and for example if I'm watching a video(mkv file) I try to skip to my preferred minute , it's only skip 30 sec forward.
Thanks.
Postscript:I forgot to mention that when I copy mkv file to my phone (It's in Portable Devices group) so I got this message :
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",

}
One of the advantages of this phone is that he can run mkv file perfectly.Why I get this message?
Someone????
"camera app" has nothing to do with media playback. If you're referring to stock media player on the phone, you can try other media apps from market , "mVideoplayer" "moboplayer" "diceplayer" those three are pretty good.
As for skipping forward it might be video you're playing is poorly encoded , i see you trying to play 1080p video, HD videos will be more picky then SD when it comes to playback.
But why I keep getting this message?

Go to Settings -> Applications -> Development and enable USB debugging. Then, connect your phone to your computer, pull down the notifications panel, and select USB mass storage. Click "Turn on USB mass storage", and your phone should now be mounted as a mass storage device. You can now freely copy the file you wanted to your phone.

Camera won't work on final version of CM7

I have had nonstop problems dialing out. All I get is "mobile network not available". I hope it's fixed in cm8 omega supreme.

Heh.
Am I the only person having trouble getting video out to their TV? I've got the USB connected from my NT to the USB port on my receiver, but it's not showing what's playing on my nook.

Your TV is probably not compatible. Try it on an older device. I have no problem getting video out in my bathroom mirror. Everything is reversed though which makes subtitles problematic. Let's hope it's fixed in CM8.
Any chance of getting this stickied?

I'll go to Goodwill later today and look for something circa 1960. I think B&W would be really cool for the superior contrast!
The mirror thing can be a pain, but there's an easy workaround. Take the mirror down and cover the front face with glue. Flip it around and stick it to the wall. Now yeah, image quality will suffer a bit but you may rest assured that the text is now properly oriented.
I've messed and messed with my Nook Camera and finally go it to take a picture of me. Problem is ... it doesn't really look like me

Guide how to Cast any video from your browser to your chomecast.

I downloaded MirrorEnabler.apk here in XDA and installed it and seems it is not compatible to our rooted HAM2, anyone able to make it work, share the L.
In the meantime I found a way to cast any video to Chromecast from our HAM2's browser.
First we need to download 2 apps (both are free):
-Firefox
-vCast
Now using the Firefox browser look for any video flash or mp4 as long at it plays on the Firefox browser it can be cast to Chromecast:
Like this one:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Then play the video:
Then while video is playing, touch and hold the video:
After that this menu will pop up and touch the one I pointed:
Before choosing vCast make sure your TV is on and is on the Chromecast :
let the video plays a bit on vCast then you can exit or pause the video that is playing on your Firefox browser, remember we played it a while ago. After that when the video is on your chromecast you can turn off firefox or exit it.
For some reason sometimes I tried exiting vCast it still plays on the chromecast, some times it doesn't.
By the way make sure you go to settings>power saving>protected apps>put a shade on the circle beside the vCast app.
I am still testing this so if you found a bug let me know so I can edit the guide.

GCM10

Anyone tried GCM10 qith the tablet yet? How strong is the suction? Does the controller have enough clearence from the tablet?
Yup it sticks fine even if I hung the controller upside down it would stay stuck. The gcm10s neck or whatever you call it also stays in one place and doesn't fall back.

Thats shadow of mordor innit? How fast is the stream from ps4 to the z2 tab? Is it like playing nativelly on the console? I would certainly consider a ps4 if i didnt purchase a 256evo ssd along with a G1 980. The synergy between the tab and the console looks sweet.
It's almost perfect. I completed most of the game on the tablet. You'll see people complain about it but those people are still running on 2.4ghz frequency wifi which means the bluetooth messes up the remote play. I can play on high with 1 wifi bar without any problems.
I even had both console tv and remote play up at the same time and my eyes couldn't see a difference.
But there is a small downside unfortunately. If you want to play a competitive game you will notice a difference.
I'll give you an example yesterday I was doing time trials on driveclub. On the tv I managed to get 1.42 and then I switched to the tablet and the best I got was 1.44 and I honestly tried. I admit I could've reached that 1.42 target but it was definitely much harder on the tablet.
I'd recommend the gcm mount it's useful even on android games. Though buying a whole console just for remote play I'm not sure.
I did buy this whole tablet just for remote play but I'm a big nerd ;p
