I take it neither of the Desire Z or HD have capabilities to connect to a HDTV via a cable... but the Desire HD was shown to have DLNA compatibility.
does anyone know if the Desire Z will have DLNA compatibility out of the box??
Also would it be via Wifi? i.e if i had a HDTV with Wifi and DLNA compatibility - i wouldnt need anythin else?? (or even the ps3...)
i vaguely remember the Touch Pro, or TP2 having TV-Out, i dont exactly like the idea of being strapped to a tv via a cable, but anyone reckon a mod could be made to duplicate screens?
on a final note, there is an app on the market that claims to add DLNA compatibilty to your current android device - couldnt get it to work (didnt really try hard enough tbh)
According to the spec at http://www.htc.com/uk/product/desirez/specification.html (Multimedia section) , yes, the Desire Z has DLNA.
While waiting for my Desire Z to arrive...
I have an AZBox HD satellite received and can install something like ushare or something which basically (so they say) makes it DLNA capable.
EDIT: I've just read that my Qnap TS-219P Turbo NAS also had DLNA, and all my multimedia is stored on it.
How, in few words, would I be able to use this on my phone?
I know NOTHING about DLNA yet
htc's official promotional video says that it has it.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=youtube_gdata_player&v=KUeW6-HTtSU
I'm running the desire HD rom and I have a pre-installed htc app called 'push media'. I lets you share photos, video and music via wifi
I can not find DNLA the specifications to the G2 but "z" has it.
so maybe it's better with a z then a G2
I'm surfing on youtube every day to see the latest news on the G2 and it appears that no one has 4gig memory it the same as the z 2gig
It can be the HTCSense, I want to put it on my G2
I belive there is also an HTC option for connecting it to HDTV with cable if the TV is not DLNA compatible.

You sure about that? How? I don't recall it having a video-out port (but I could be wrong)

I saw it briefly in the official HTC Desire Z marketing video. Looks like a little hub that changes micro-usb/usb cable to HDMI.
I imagine it's similar to this Samsung Micro USB to HDMI cable:
*can't post link but there is one on the market*
From advertising there's no HDMI output on HTC Vision.. and well, in G2 forums there isn't anyone that claims that Vision has got HDMI output.
DLNA is only a WiFi data sharing program, I've tried it on my old Motorola Milestone and it's really, really useless.
However, I've tried it for sharing with my PC as I haven't got a TV that supports DLNA, so maybe I'm wrong when I say that it's useless, but anyway the last hope is getting TVOut from 3.5mm jack as some phones and cameras can output video signal from there (analog, not HDMI).
I'm running mdeejay's desire z 1.3 rom on my hd2. I have a Samsung 46" C670 series TV. I have the TV wired to my router. When I'm on wifi with the phone I can control the TV through the 'Connected Media' app and view pics, vids, and music.

There's a micro usb to HDMI cable sold by Samsung and I believe HTC has a similar option.

There it is! Much appreciated.
here we go - have my Desire Zeee in hands for second day . Regarding dlna:
- watching content from dlna servers (pc, synology disc station) on the phone is there out of the box via "gallery" application where you can choose "connected media" which scans your wifi network and finds compatible sources. Have managed to see photos and play songs, but not video as "format not supported". Anybody know where supported formats can be found?
- watching content on your phone via TV that supports dlna: it not there out of the box, but there are apps that makes phone a "dlna server". Have used "twonky serverver mobile" that seems to be free and do the job, but again: photos and musing from phone on my TV is ok, but not video (at least for me: my TV - Philips...- dlna client does not support 3gp to which Zeee is recording via camera).
I'm guessing most of your videos are downloaded movies in divx or xvid format. The Desire Z does not play these.
The DLNA sharing facility is in the manual so that you can share media off the phone onto a PS3 etc but I haven't got it to work yet...still trying.
I just got it to work with Windows Media Player!!! On the PC, you need to go into Media Player, Stream menu, and tick "Allow remote control of my player". Then go onto phone, All apps, Connected Media, pick Music, then choose your PC name, and it will play on the PC!! And you can control it from the phone!! Awesome. Works with vids and pics too.

You can use the app arcmedia from market to play these.
I've also used the twonky media server app to stream a divx downloaded movie via dlna from the phone to the tv, via a ps3.
Works beautifully.
cool! works for me as well from cell > computer. does it go from computer > cell tho?
Hi, I'm looking for a way to stream all pc audio to my android phone. The idea is to use the android phone as wireless headphones.
This would probably involve some sort of client server setup similar to Gmote, or what the winamp app does. However I only want audio, so that I can play Video on my TV and listen via wifi on my headphones through my android (HTC Desire).
I've searched the forums, and have only found a few similar questions but no solutions. Its my opinion that this would be an excellent app, if a developer would pick up on it.
I have looked at virtual audio cable as a possible solution - unfortunately I don't have the tech know-how to acheive this. Possibly the audio could be grabbed by VAC and input into Winamp (e.g.) and then streamed via winamp to my phone?
.... any ideas.

im also searching for an app like that. Ive been looking for that the whole web but didnt find anything, just other people aksing for the same thing. there are apps for iphone called Airphones and AudioIn that do exactly that. isnt anyone able to port that or something ? would be of so much use :/
Not sure but I believe the SE MW600 headphones can pair two devices simultaneously. Can anyone confirm? I can check in a couple of days...

These are then just wireless headphones? The idea is to be able to use wired headphones wirelessly, by stalin audio over wifi to our phones.

I was also looking for something like this. Currently the Desire comes with a Bluetooth profile to do the opposite - that is direct all phone output to elsewhere e.g. laptop, but it'd be great for the other way around!
Thanks MasDroid. I have a pair also but not with me on my long weekend vacation...

OK, then you want to do more than "use the Android phone as wireless headphones" as per your first post. You want your phone to receive the audio in order to process it? If so, can you clarify? Sounds interesting and potentially useful.
Will VLC serve your purpose? You can setup a VLC http server on your PC and you can browse your PC files from your phone VLC app. Not sure but maybe, on the PC, you can direct all audio to a filestream. Anyone?

we are thinking of an app that streams whatever sound is coming from the pc to the android phone. me for example i control my pc with the phone via gremote when im laying on my bed. and because the cable of my wired headphones are too short i cannot listen to videos and movies without disturbing the ppl at night. so such "active" apps like the one with vlc and so on isn't really what (at least) im looking for. it should be passive and just stream the whole audio.
i hope u understand

Pretty sure gmote can stream music to your phone. There is a little check box to say weather it's phone controlling media player on your pc, or pc streaming media to your phone. Use it when I'm doing gardening so I have access to all 200Gb of my music.

Nexus Q and HTC Media link should work. I am not sure if they are exact mirrors like the dongle but it should be.
Nexus Q can't do screen mirroring. The HTC Medialink isn't compatible with the Galaxy S3 due to proprietary software.
You're stuck with the $99 allshare cast dongle. I'd wait though since a lot of screen mirroring solutions are going to be made available and most likely cheap by the end of 2012. The WiFi Alliance is working on something called Miracast which is essentially android screen mirroring.

Apparently someone said the HTC media link works with the GS3. There was a thread on it.
You could buy a Samsung DVD or bluray player that has the allshare capability.

..different things, all share DLNA ( share movies from PC, phone to TV ) is different to All share cast ( where the phone is replicated on TV )
Need this!
So Im a school teacher and bought a GSIII for this accessory. Why isnt it available and does anyone know when it will be available? Im trying to do research now to see if I can get the HTC one to work with my GSIII, also I have a Nexus7 I would like to figure out how to make that work as well.
due to the overpricing of this thing (it'll be about 110 USD in sweden) I decided to pre-order an Ouya instead as it basically gives me the features I wanted an allshare dongle for but at the same price. But for those $100 I get a standalone tegra 3 device instead, basically a htc one x without a screen. It wont be out until march but the money value here is worth the wait.
Hello, anyone know if it´s possible to emulate the allshare cast dongle with a PC ??
i mean, that piece of hardware must use some software that can be inatalles as a program in a notebook and then the notebook connected to the TV.
Could this be done?
PD: chrome cast doesn´t mirror the games for example and samsung dongle yes
chromecast alternatives and other ways to mirror your phone... [via and xbox]
With all the new apps and wireless technologies out there now, is there a way to get the same cast functionality going through an XBOX connected TV with your phone?
I have a Samsung Note 3 and XBOX 360 and want to mirror my phones screen and control some apps like you can with the Chromecast, mainly a web browser on the XBOX.
Thank you for any help!!

I installed Mirror OP sender and Mirror Op receiver on my notebook and cell phone and then connected the notebook with HDMI to my TV. I have mirror now, but it has too much lag.
If someone make some retroengineering on an all share cast dongle i think we can emulate it, the notebook or pc connected to the tv has to have enough power to copy the software functions of that dongle!! . Soemone must know more about this.

I would be surprised if not nearly any laptop out there got more power than the small dongle device?
In addition I think the lag (most recognizable in games) might come from the wireless transmission maybe?

they told me that feature was only available for rooted concept devices, so... we can see that they do the same as Chrome Cast dongle but without buying any dongle. ...

Hiya... did quite a bit of searching, but couldn't find a lead on this. I feel like it should be doable... but the built in setting and the apps I've tried don't seem to work. (AllCast, pixel media server)
I'm trying to stream movies from my phone through my Xbox while tethering onto my tv but it's just not happening... the built in function requests that I connect to Wi-Fi, but I don't have a router, just the tether... any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!

Why not just get an HDMI adapter and save the tethering data? Not positive, but I believe you need wifi to stream to the Xbox anyway. I assume you mean like Netflix or whatever? You can use the Allshare Cast Dongle without wifi but a lot of times the sound can lag behind. Keep in mind if you are trying to stream anything from your phone to your Xbox, it HAS to actually be on the phone itself, I don't even think it can be on the external SD card. This means trying to use DLNA for Netflix will never work. I could be wrong about it being on the external but I don't think so.
I'm trying to stream a local video file from my phone to my tv through my xbox360. I don't have an hdmi cable for the phone. I don't have a wireless router....just my phone and the xbox..I can get the xbox connected to my phone by tethering, but I can't figure out how to get the DLNA stuff going without the wireless router.
I feel like it should be possible. I don't need to stream Netflix or anything... just local videos on my phone to the xbox.
I'm still trying to figure out a way. Thanks

I'm not sure how WiFi direct-connect would work with an Xbox...but I've used it with a Mac at work with no problems. Kies? I'm just spit-balling ideas, as I am on CM (and have been since I got the phone home) so I'm a little out of my element. But I'm sure there's a way and it's likely down this path.
Or, failing that, head down to your local Salvation Army or Goodwill (or other thrift shop type place) and pick up a wifi router for $3-$10....I've done it many times before. If you can afford a Note3 on T-Mobile you can afford to spend $3-$20 for a used (discarded, unwanted, otherwise undesirable) WiFi router.
EDIT: or spend $5(?) for an MHL adapter to plug it into your TV directly and screw the middleman Xbox.
Yeah.... those are where I'm headed in the solution department. I just wish I could connect it to the phone via tether and then pick up the video file over that connection.
I'll keep looking for a simple and elegant software solution. I have an hdmi cable for my laptop that works ez pz... but I was going I could accomplish it through my phone.
Thanks though!
