Hi Guys,
Has any one used a remote desktop app whilst having the S3 plugged into a hdtv?
I want to see if its any good as my laptop is now dead and i have a home server so i dont see why i should buy a new lappy when i could simply plug my s3 into my tv using a mhl adapter and use the applications on the server
please let me know if anyone has tried it and what its like and what client they are using splashtop teamviewer etc
Thanks

So, i searched and could not find was i what looking for...
Here is what i would like:
1) PC with movie on harddisc (and for instance tversitiy)
2) stream to galaxy tab (have it working with skifta/rockplayer)
3) connect galaxy tab to tv with HDMI connection
Result --> play movie from pc on tv via wifi
O, and what would be great even greater --> use my HTC desire android phone as a remote control (like pausing and fast forward)
What do you guys think.... is this possible????
you could do that with ES files Explorer
- install ES
- select the folders you want to share on Windows
- open ES files and click LAN then MENU--> NEW--> SCANNER--> it should display your computer with the local IP as name (no need to wait for the scan to end just click BACK)
- click on the media file to open and choose stock player to read it
- you know the rest !
if a file doesnt open with a simple press, just make a long press and select "open as" and select whatever it is
not exactly what i ment.
I know how to play movies on my galaxy tab.... question is, can i play these movie also on tv with a hdmi adapter? And next... could i use my htc desire as a remote controle to use?

1. You would need an HDMI cable that you can connect to your tv and tab. But as far as I know and can find out the Galaxy doesn't have or support HDMI output.
See the specs here: http://gadgetian.com/10288/samsung-galaxy-tab-10-1-specs-price-2/
It could be possible to do if you can find a HDMI mirroring app like the one I use for my eVo4g, as far as I know their isn't one that would work on Honeycomb.
2. As for using your Desire as a remote, you'd have to find a app that could control what ever media player you use, either through wifi or bluetooth. You might be able to find one on the market. You could also try one of those remote desktop apps on the market.

If your tv supports DLNA push then you can use Skifta to stream to tv without any wires.
I don't have a tv with DLNA support, so i connected my tv to pc as a secondary display and i use Skifta basically as a remote control. I use windows built in media server, it supports DLNA push on win7.

and where do you controle skifta? from you tablet and then let it push to the tv?
Not sure if this is exactly what your wanting, but I use VLC Direct pro to play videos from my sg10. 1 or my android phone to play on my computer. The program also let's you control the player and let's you play the videos on your computer. It wasnt that hard to setup just google it.

Skifta is on my tablet, i use it to browse my movie library (it's on my PC) and select play to PC (it outputs picture to my TV). Hope this makes sense, English is not my native language so it's hard for me to explain it.
Basically i sit on my couch, holding the tablet and using Skifta app to control whats playing on my TV.

You will need to purchase the HDMI dongle that samsung offers. It attaches to the bottom connector of the tab. Just like how the IPad's do.

Hey Guys im new here.
I want to know if there is a such of things that you can watch tv from SGS2 to PC or watch from PC on what you are doing on the SGS2
Thank You.
Splashtop app let's you see and hear your computer.
Droid vnc server let's you see (not hear) and control your sgsii from your computer, though it's usually slow and doesn't explain the keyboard controls for the soft buttons. And I've only gotten it to connect when on the same router.

thanks for the help gr8hairy1 but it seems that it needed rooted phones which mine is not rooted. do you know any apps that can be viewed on the pc with usb cable from the phone?
Hi everyone,
Does any know if we can view the i9100 screen to a laptop? Sort of a tv - out, but to a laptop.
Thanks!
In short, I don't know but I doubt you can. Laptops rarely have video input capabilities by default. You can, of course use a USB micro to HDMI cable to output to a TV.
You could install a VNC server and then have the client on your laptop.
Hi,
I recently bought Xperia S - that has separate HDMI and USB ports, so i was thinking if i could use the device to play pc games and stream video and sound via my phone to tv.
The phone can stream 1280x720 resolution to tv, so i was thinking i could create some kind of onlive-like experience, by plugging phone to tv and connecting keyboard/mouse to it via usb hub/bluetooth - and WIFI streaming output from pc to my phone then to tv.
Is there any app i could use to archieve my goal?
I am pretty sure OnLive is kind of what you are looking for! You can't run windows on your phone, so this is as close as it gets!
Hope this helps! Hitting the thank button if I helped it much appreciated

You misunderstood, i dont want to run windows on my phone, i want to stream video/audio/input between my pc and phone - yes, same thing that OnLive does but with my own games on pc. I just dont want to use onlive - i want my local pc in other room - so far the closest thing out there seems to be kainy...
I know, I was just saying, I have tried several things and there is not really pc streaming to your phone that is instance from pc to phone. It has some lag.

I don't think this is possible. Closest you'll get is Onlive as previously stated or using teamviewer.

Actually - ive figured out what i need to do - thankfully i can come by with 10 meter hdmi cable from pc to tv. So ill do this.
Bought "kainy" app from the market, bought samsung USB-otg adapter and a cheap usb hub. I will run kainy on minimal gfx and sound settings, plug keyboard and mouse to usb adapter so i will be able to stream input to pc via kainy.
HDMI output will its job for video and audio.
I've also tried super snes emulator with logitech rumble pad connected via usb to my phone - thos works awesomely well - a mobile console/emulator replacement, the only problem i experience now is that phone slows badly when i enable tv out via hdmi from my Xperia

The only thing that could work is OnLive. VNC is too laggy for gaming. At least over my network.
Well i intend to use it only between 2 rooms, not over internet - if onlive works - local wifi should work better

I don't see this not being smooth/fast enough either, but who knows, maybe he will get it working.

well, i already got kainy working on my tv - but the compression is horrible, so i've decided instead to byu 8-10m HDMI cable and connect my pc -> tv directly , and just use phone as remote hub for keyboard, mouse - the lag for input should be minimal enough to play fps online - and probably way better option than onlive.
Since we can use a VNC viewer to remote control/view a PC desktop, anyone know of an app we can do this vice versa?
I want to project my Note's screen onto a PC screen. Basically, people can see what I draw while I draw it etc.
Look for something like a screen caster app. Idk if they ever got them up to speed but there's a couple solution out there. It's been a while since I used any. Do you need to direct input to the note or just view its display?
Is this real life?
I want to be able to use my Note, and reflect what I am seeing on a desktop monitor over wifi. Basically want to use the monitor as a projector mirroring what I am seeing on the note. Actually....tethering with the USB cable is fine too...
