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

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

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.
The topic says it all, is there any aplication or site where we see live streaming video for our Nokia Lumia...?
Would be great if anyone can help me with even a link working for Live Cricket.
Thnx.

As i see you are from India, you can use app called mundu TV available on Marketplace.
When I connect the supplied HDMI cable between my Xperia S and TV*, I get a notification that HDMI is connected. However, TV launcher doesn't start so I cannot see anything on the TV screen.
Is it possible that an app I have installed is interfering with TV launcher?
Anything else I can try?
Xperia S on O2 UK, TV launcher is v 1.0.A.0.11.
*I've tried 3 different TVs with the same result.
I've now found a TV that it works on, so I know it's not my phone. New question: why doesn't it work on every TV?
Do you select HDMI input on your TV or you just wait until it shows up on TV screen? If the second, bear in mind some TV (if not set) they won't go to HDMI automatically.

Yes, I ensure that I select the correct input. For example on my Toshiba I use HDMI 4 which I choose before connecting the phone. When I do this, the blue Toshiba screen turns to black which probably indicates that something is physically connected to that input, but nothing happens on the phone other than the notification. I did the same on an Asus TV/Monitor and TV launcher starts. On an LG monitor at work it says that it's out of range.

Check via liveware if the tv starter is assigned to the hdmi action ;-)
Did it work on a Sony TV?
Im not sure but it might only work on other Sony products.

I have an LG monitor at work and it doesn't work on that. I thought HDMI meant it would work on any display with HDMI inputs.
Hello,
I've same trouble with my samsung TV. Same notifications but no picture on TV
Anynet+ and CEC activated, etc...
I'm thinking this fonction is not for all TV
i'll try on other TV
:'(
Works fine on my Samsung tv. Have no idea what types of televisions it works on.
Sent from my LT26i using XDA
My phone works fine with my sony bravia tv, i can operate almost everything with my tv remote except i cant input text like in google search...
the keypad opens up but i cant select the alphabets on it, any ideas?
Fixed with ICS
The problem appears to be fixed with the ICS update.
My TV is a Samsung LE32C450E1WXXH with anynet+ CEC support and I had this problem. The best way is the update. This was helped me 'cause before the software uptade the TV doesnt recognise the remote control command to my Xperia P. But after that i turned on the Anynet+ and VOILAA that works!
Hello there,
I am still looking how to mirror the screen of my S3, by mirror I mean to see what I am doing on my S3, not to stream videos, music or pictures..
For example if I play NOVA, I`d like to see on my Smart TV.
So we do have a Smart TV with wifi (wireless) incorporated, my model D6530 (D6500 series), but I cant find the option to mirror screen.
Is there a trick ??? Can somebody find out or make a software to do this..
Hardware both is all ok and accepted, only SW is missing or hide.
Thanks
Even I am looking for the same. But no luck yet.
There is a discussion on this thread about screen cast (screen replication on TV) : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1678135
Looks like its not yet released and will be available in late summer as per facebook sweden update (as per some user's comment in one of the threads)
With All share play app already available you can stream content(video/photos/music) to TV (same as other DLNA apps like iMediaShare).
The only part lacking and I am desperate is AllShare Cast app.
I thought you needed the dangle for all share cast to work? I its not cheap. Hope I'm wrong I've got a dlna Samsung 5series smart tv and use dlna all the time for porn Ammm I mean video viewing and it's great smooth and fast ^o^

Looking for the same too. This what I found so far.
Google for xbounds.
If you got another android that can hook up to tv, you can install MirrorOp apps. Works well but framerate is limited.

I dont need the dongle to carry all ****s with me, I already have a Smart TV with wifi.. dongle is for normal TV without wifi
Hope they will do something about this
yeah, dont really understand why this isnt already possible, the hardware is there, at present you'll just have to manage with your hdmi which makes gaming pretty much impossible comfortably.
This is probably my only gripe with this phone and my last the sgs2.

I'm having a similar problem I see the device, it connects for a few seconds, my tv screen flickers and disconnects immeditately.
what model of Smart TV you have? I dont see my TV on the list at all...
And what country ? ( I think is related on country, from the answer of Samsung Romania support...)

NOTE: I think allshare only works with the 7000 / 8000 varieties, this was suggested in the sgs2 threads on the subject. I used to have an sgs2 but there was never an option to cast your phone screen without HDMI connection, have to wonder if this option is on the SGS3 at all.

Well maybe an official announcements or specification, will be good to solve our problem..
Somebody can confirm with new models if working or not ?

I tried it last sat on un65d8000 model. All share play worked, which just sends movies, but all share case, did not.
Software apparently needs work...

After receiving the latest firmware update on my phone, it finally shows "AllShare Cast" as an option in settings. Unfortunately, it can not detect the UN60ES7500 I have on display in the showroom (or the PN51E8000), nor the BDE5700 and BDE6500 Blu-Ray players. Nothing shows as a "detected device". I just upgraded the firmware on the UN60ES7500 and no change. I tried connecting via our Wi-Fi network, as well as using "WiFi Direct"...still no dice.
Additionally, the "LiveView" Android app apparently isn't compatible with the Galaxy S III either...so no streaming video from the TV BACK to the phone either...grrr.
Samsung needs some software help, pronto!
@jnemesh
same for me what firmware on S3 you tested ?
Allshare Cast doesnt work yet but already has issues
Salut
I have a 7000 series smart tv + WiFi dongle. I can confirm that Allshare plays photos, music & videos from S3 to tv, but Allshare Cast is not working. also there is PIA bug with Allshare Cast on S3 running latest v.17 Omega rom, when disabled from settings it also disables WiFi Anyone saw this issue? The only option to get rid of that it could be re-flashing the Omega rom without the Allshare Cast.:silly:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7p6nOAcSUsE
so that isn't working now even if you have the dongle and a s3?
:/ did they disable the feature?
this is what i'm trying to figure out ..if you have a smart tv that can stream videos via allshare just fine..then shouldnt hardware wise you have all you need for allshare-cast to work too??
i have a UA46ES6200 and my s3 can not detect it when scanning for allshare-cast devices ...but allshare play is working just fine
but i want screen mirroring :/
this is really annoying, Samsung ever read here ?
or how we can get feedback on this..
I bought S3 for this option (like in commercials), otherwise I would stick with my S1 and S2..
Somebody managed to mirror screen without dongle ?
Where is the DLNA app for the Lumia 920 ???
There is a onePlayer app, and an AV remote app
They both seem to have their issues though, so I am still waiting for a good one (BTW, I moved up from an LG WP7, they had a working DLNA app)
the Nokia app does not support the 920 resolution. WTF.
