[Q] Streaming video from home media server - Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II

So guys. We have a gigantic screen to use watching media when we're not at home but we still want to watch our favorite shows and movies.
I've tried everything, Emit, bubble UPnP with xbmc, among a ton of others. I want so hard for this to work, but the best I've found over 4g was airplay it, which is not supported by Android versions later than gingerbread.
Everything I've tried seems to lag randomly every couple of minutes or so for 5 to 10 seconds at a time.
I know a bunch of you probably have a similar set up with newsgroups and xbmc etc, and was wondering if anyone of you has found a solution that works without hiccups.
I should also let you know that I have the fastest Internet provided by my cable provider and unlimited 4g.
Thanks in advance guys!

I think you want to stream content from a machine at home while you're out, over 4g right?

After trying a lot of android streaming apps I would suggest you try Tunein radio, it seems to be reliably able to work when others fail.

[Q] Phone remote control

Hello,
Just wondering whether anyone had any ideas on this.
I use a PC at work all day but quite often want to use GTalk to chat to people. Unfortunately my company blocks it so I can't use a browser to chat but obviously I can through my phone.
I used to have an HTC Desire that was rooted so that allowed me to use droidvnc to connect to my phone from my PC via vncviewer using USB(There's no wifi here).
It then meant I could type on my keyboard which makes things a whole lot easier when you're in the middle of something.
Basically now I've gone to an HTC One X I'm just wondering whether there's any app or anything that would let me do the same thing but without rooting the device as I don't want to invalidate any warranties just yet.
So in summary I'm really after a bit of software to let me remote control my phone via USB for the purpose of using GTalk or any other ideas anyone might have to get round it
Thanks

[Q] New to S4, from iOS a few questions

1) Is there any video chat app that is comparable in quality to facetime? I've tried Skype, and .. it works but the video quality is atrocious comparably. Doing a facetime chat from my iphone to another iphone/ipad/etc was almost HD in quality, virtually no artifacts smooth motion etc. This is not the case at all on a S4 with Skype. Suggestions ?
2) My parents have an ipad without cellular, so they don't have straight texting, they've been imessaging me for the past 2 years and now they can't. What options do we have? They can't even use Whatsapp being even that requires a phone number to tie to.
Loving the phone, screen and load of features .. just rrying to find solutions to some of my 'use' scenarios
1) you should use Google's new hangout app, loom at number 2 for reason
2) Google hangout is your best solution. It will allow you to message your parents on their iPad and will let you videochat all from the same application. You won't need a phone number to make the app work.

2) WhatsApp Messenger will work
I would say hangouts would be your best choice

Netflix, etc on Rooted S4

I am about to root my VZW S4. I just wanted to make sure nobody knew of lost functionality like netflix or hulu not working on rooted S4s. I have searched the forums and google, but have not come across anything about rooted S4s losing content access.
I don't want to lose google play movies, netflix, hulu, or other apps by rooting.
Any feedback would be appreciated.
thanks
Works fine

Nope, this is not like an iPhone where they know you jailbroke your phone and won't let you run certain apps (Ie. DirecTV) ... Everything works fine!
I've tested Netflix, and it totally works. Don't use Hulu or Google Play movies, but I assume they'll work as well. There's no reason for them not to.
Netflix, Hulu Plus, Play Movies all work on rooted devices, no problem!

It has been never easier for unrooted users to take full backups of their Galaxy S4 or any android smartphones until now. One has always suggested to install Titanium Backup but unfortunately its available for only users with root...

Music cloud storage

I'm trying to figure out how to store my music to the cloud. Can anyone help me out?
You can use Google music on the Web and upload 20,000 songs for free and then use their app to stream them
Lol im just tired of my sandisk 64gb micro sdcard crashing and just picked up a tab 3 8.0 so just wanted to try storing my music on a cloud once.
I have unlimited data so not worried about data usage.
Yes, I use Google Play Music also and am happy with it. Beware of the long upload times, however, if you have a large music collection.
You're the man this is exactly what I needed and already had it thanks!
