Hey everyone.
I am looking for an app that lets me see my pc screen, just like a monitor would. i know there are some other options like splash screen etc but they are all pretty laggy because they all use internet and they video stream my pc so quality is bad too. while quality is secondary for me lag is deffinetly not so even the program needs me to connect my phone and just works like a monitor without input that would be just fine. isnt there a way to do it? i've heard people do it with their tv i couldnt find anything useful despite searcing for two days.
if you could show me an app that lets me do this with good quality like my phone screen have i would be so happy and pay for the application.
sorry if i am using the wrong section of the forum. thanks in advance
try with iDisplay. I dont have a play store link but just search it. You will then be able to use your phone as pc monitor. You can connect to pc via intetnet or through usb cable

Hello. Just bought my third HTC phone and I am very happy with it. The 1080P video sounds especially appealing. I saw there was an HDMI adapter which I mentioned to the sales guy and he said that his girlfriend had one(of the phones) and their TV (which has wifi) automatically picked it up. If I am going to take good HD videos it would be great to send them over wifi to my PS3 (preferably) or my computer with a media server on it to watch them easily. I have heard of an app called awesome drop but everything I have seen is getting media ONTO the phone, not off. I know I could just USB to my computer (and maybe even ps3?) but since it can be on my wifi network it would seem there was some way to easily just push the video wirelessly to watch. I know this isn't specific to the Amaze so if you think I will get better answers I can move to a more general Android area. Thanks always XDA.
Also in the same vein is there some app to just directly move any files freely between the phone and my computer (and maybe even ps3?) over wifi? TY

I use iMediaShare Premium to stream videos stored on my device to my XBox 360. I can also stream Youtube and several other services as well. All connect via wifi.
There's a program called PS3 Media Server that is awesome. I haven't yet tried streaming amaze videos, but I will tonight. THis app is very light weight and streams really well. I have yet to have any problems, but I've only streamed some relatively low bandwidth 4:3 video over wireless.
I stream video to my Xbox 360 using an app called Twonky, It's in the Android Market, nice and easy. Let me know if it works for you.

Can you use the Front camera (or rear) of the SGS2 as a webcam recognised internally to the phone? So not via USB to a PC.
I have a pc setup to stream product demonstrations for a class via a web page. Its not needed all the time, so instead of a dedicated pc. I’d rather have it via the phone as needed.
Yes, there are apps in the Play sore that do what you want. Just search for "webcam"

EpocCam works really well. Give it a shot.
Good luck!
ah cheers guys. but not quite what im after.
I should have explained it more.
We have a flash based web site thats streams the classes. i would normally log in via laptop and click on start demo and it will activate my laptops (or external) webcam and stream that image. If i log into the same site via opera on my sgs2 , it says it can not find a webcam on my phone.
So is there a way to send the request for a webcam to the sgs2 camera?
I don't think so mate. I haven't come across anything like that so far, so sorry, can't be of much help here.

hi folks
as the title says im after screen mirroring my s3 to my laptop it is equipped with dlna already or maybe wifi direct if its possible! according to what i read on the net it is possible to mirror s3's screen to a pc using dlna but i have no luck yet! when i scan with allshare app it does see my laptop i registered it with allshare play it sees it as an active online pc but refuses to stream music, pictures or video let alone screen mirroring!. do you think i should download a dlna server app? if so which is the best one? coz i have downloaded one called tvtrivia or something but it didnt help..
im from UK so i have the international version of s3 with original stock samsung rom on.
i have gone thru the forums but i didnt not come cross any thread about this apart from one that is about allshare cast which involves an extra hardware!
im very surprised though as i thought many people would be interested in screen mirroring!
what do you guys think about screen mirroring? anyone have made any research about this or even tried? what is your experience?
bump, also interested in this
yep - and me!
Airdroid can do basic screen mirroring but it runs at a low fps rate of ~1fps. MirrorOP is also the same I presume. I wish the was a solution for this using wifi, widi or even usb connection. That way I can easily play games with my phone as a remote or as a wheel substitute in teaching games lol.

I use MirrorOp and works well. The frame rate is high and videos work well through it. The sender app costs $9.99 (~£6.43) for unlimited use.
I saw a video of a guy using his phone as a controller for World of Warcraft while running the game on his PC. He was essentially using the phone as a casting bar. I'm wondering what software (if any) is the best for that sort of thing. I basically need something that will act as a second monitor for my laptop and let me create custom buttons on that screen.
In fact, I don't even need the screen function. I just need a tap on my phone to register as a keypress on my laptop, and I need to be able to configure a grid of buttons. Being able to also give them custom icons world be ideal, but that might be too much to hope for. And connecting via bluetooth would also be smashing, but again probably just a dream.
Is there something out there like that, or was that video just a fabrication/test?
If I had to guess, that was proabably a WoW hack. Most likely, it was interfacing with his WoW account and not with his computer directly.
I dont play wow but apps like blueputdroid or other bluetooth keyboard like apps may work right i know that app has all the f keys and watnot??
Could he have been using Kainy?

I know there's a way to turn your phone into a webcam using an app like IP Camera, however it seems like my phone only shows up as an available cam when using a chat program like skype etc.
It won't show up in any of the video editing software like Windows Movie Maker, the only available webcam that's available is my computer's built in one.
I have no interest in using my phone as a webcam, I'm wanting to make videos with my phone while it's connected to my computer and have the video appear on my computer's screen simultaneously, is this possible?
Your probably wondering why I don't just record the videos on my phone and transfer it to my computer...because I'd like to see myself on my computer screen as I'm recording a video for things like proper placement and lighting etc.
Thanks

You mean just use the camera on phone, or connect it to computer and then use it on your computer?

Connect it to my computer and then using it to record my videos on my computer. IP Camera won't let me do that it seems.
