can someone help me connect to my laptop. I'm not sure what I have to do. I open the app select music and its says select player, the only option is My Phone.
Would love to pair with my WMP and PS3.
Edit- I got my phone to see my pc but I can only get pics to show up. I go into gallery, bottom tab has 4 options, the one all the way on the right (looks like a pic with 2 green lines under it) is connected media, when the list loads it has my pc.
Unfortunately I cant get the music to share and still no conx with PS3

Does anyone know how to use the G2 to sync up the my xbox to play video/music/see pictures? I plug in my Samsung Vibrant and I have 3 options:
Mass Storage
Media Player
Samsung Kies
If I select "Mass Storage", I cannot see the files of the phone on the xbox. If I select "Media Player" I can see the files of the phone on the my xbox.
When I try to connect the G2, I only get the option to Sync, or not to Sync. Syncing does not allow me to see the files of the phone, and therefore does not allow me to play the movies/pictures from the phone. I have a basic USB stick that will show my pictures on the xbox, so why won't my smartphone? I'd also like to be able to plug directly into my TV if that's possible too.
Your best bet is mass storage. The xbox can read any data storage device through a USB connection.
I think mass storage is the only option you get with the G2...
Cmon, no one has tried to sync their G2 and XBOX??????
The G2/DZ has DLNA support. HTC are selling a DLNA adapter which lets devices which don't have built-in DLNA support see it - so that could be a solution to connect your TV.
I tried connecting my G2 to my 360 last week and didn't work..Just saw this thread..And im wondering the same thing..Why can't I play my music on my G2 thru the xbox..I used to do it with my crapberry without a problem. All i get is "mass storage" I connect but still can't view any files..Anyone know how to fix?

In the PS3, the files have to be in a certain directory.
For example, videos had to be placed in /VIDEO/what_ver_movei_youhave.avi
Does this apply to the Xbox?
OK Peeps,
Someone in Coolexe’s rom thread asked me what DLNA was and how to use it. As I couldn’t point them straight to a guide I thought I’d better write one. Plus I’m sure some of you don’t even know what it is!
From Wikipedia:
DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance) is a standard used by manufacturers of consumer electronics to allow entertainment devices within the home to share their content with each other across a home network.
So what can I use my Desire for in the world of DLNA?
1. Stream movies you have stored on your phone wirelessly to a DLNA compatible TV/device
2. Stream music you have stored on your phone wirelessly to a DLNA compatible TV/device
3. Show pictures you’ve taken on your phone wirelessly to a DLNA compatible TV/device
4. Stream movies/music/pictures wirelessly from a DLNA compatible device to you phone
Before I go into details about using DLNA I’ll give you a quick overview of what kit I’ve got that makes it all possible. Firstly, I’ve got a Synology NAS which is DLNA compatible (other brands exist!) and stores all my media files. Secondly I’ve got a Windows Media Centre 7 PC hooked up to my main TV. And thirdly a HTC Desire, this must be running a Gingerbread rom with Sense. I mostly use Robo’s roms which have been working a treat but have been trying out some others recently but with mixed results, hopefully we can get these issues ironed out though.
So to be able to send media to my TV the first thing I need to do is turn on media streaming in Media Player. Hit the Stream button and choose Turn On Media Streaming. The default settings are fine so you can keep them. Next hit the Stream button again and choose Allow Remote Control Of My Player. Now you need to grab you Desire, make sure it’s connected to you WLAN and from the Apps menu click on Connected Media and choose the type of media you want to send. You should then be prompted to select the player, choose the player you’ve just setup in Windows. If you’re not prompted there’s a little button in the bottom right, just above the full volume icon, click it. Bingo, your chosen media will then be streamed to the computer and in my case the TV that’s connected to it.
Next up the more exciting bit, and the bit I use the most, streaming from my NAS to my Desire. Different NAS boxes will have different ways to enable DLNA but on my Synology it was just a matter of clicking on the box that turns that feature on and storing media in the shares it created. On your phone in the Apps menu choose the Video app. Click the button in the bottom left, the one with 3 parallel lines, you should end up at the Albums menu. Scroll along the strip at the bottom to Connected Media where it should search you network a DLAN devices. Select the device you want to stream from and you’ll be present with the DLNA folders on you NAS. Drill in through the folders to the movie or music you want played on your Desire, kick back and enjoy!
Over the weekend I’ll try and get some screen shots added, pictures say a millions words, and see if I can reword the guide to make it simpler to follow. Just wanted to get something up quick to help a fellow member out.

nicely explaned, thanks for the tuto,
i've just checked my tv, i think i might need an RS lead or something to connect it to my laptop, problem is tv is too far from where the lapy is, but i got another solution , my satellite box (spiderbox) can be setup as a home stream server,did it from this guide http://cccam-exchange.com/viewtopic.php?f=211&t=509 it has got that feature cos i've set it up and connected already to an external server to watch the europeen leagues footie it's plugged to BT Hub, i think all i need is a wifi bridge to the sat box to save me putting the laptop by the tv, as i'm using it,don't want a long lead,gets in the way , i'll do bit of reading on that, to set it up and see when get time.
however i did plug the phone to sat box via usb (mounted), (satbox is PVR ready) , accesed the whole sd card content.using the satbox remote ,never knew that before till when this DLNA subject popped up, opened up a new feature for me.
cheers.

Video resolution is low. And i guess VLC stream & convert is more suited to me. So i'll mainly use this for audio. Thanks for the solution. Easiest method that I found to stream music from my computer to my phone.
So I noticed HTC's Connected Media App now available for my HTC arrive.
I downloaded and have gotten it to stream to my XBox 360. Here's what to do for those interested.
Requirements:
1. HTC phone with Mango
2. HTC's connected media app
3. Xbox 360
4. PC with Windows Media Center
What to do:
1. Make sure all devices are on the same wifi network.
2. Connect your pc's Windows Media Center to the XBox 360
3. Start Media Center on the XBox 360
4. Start the connected media app
5. browe music artist, albums, songs whatever
6. push the output button on the bottom and select the xbox
7. find some music to play
Tips: The streaming worked with less interuptions when my Arrive was plugged into a power source. Sometimes my 360 wouldn't appear right away when I push the output button, if it does not back out and tap media servers and tap output from there.
Note : You can not stream DRM protected media
Enjoy
Let me know if you guys have any questions, problems, or suggestions.
Works great on HD7 as well. I'd like to see an official Microsoft app for this though. Maybe something like they did for their Home Server 2011. It would be even better if they integrated such functionality into the Zune hub.
the only way for my PC to see see my S3 phone via USB is opening up Windows Media Player. how can i get my PC to recognize my S3 without opening Windows Media Player?
When I first hooked up the usb I got an "installing driver" message, after it finished I found a heading titled SGH-T889 where the normal drive letters are shown in the Windows Explorer app. Clicking that displayed two folders, one for the internal memory and another for the sd card. File access seemed entirely normal for both. You can also access both folders and transfer files wirelessly between the phone and PC by getting the eShare or eFile app from the play store and downloading and installing Filezilla on your computer. The eFile app along with a linked app called eRay have become my favorite file and device managers. Eray gives a very nice interface to display and manipulate all sorts of data about your device, apps, and services. Efile does the same for your files.

ok . so what did you doi after this?
The first post was made away from home and I couldn't be sure of my recollection of details but now I'm back and just plugged in again to refresh. When I connect to the PC I get a message in the notification area of the phone that displays the USB icon and a statement "Connected as a media device". This happened the first time as well and after a few seconds I got a notification on the PC that a new device had been connected and drivers were being installed. After a few minutes I got the usual message saying the drivers had been successfully installed and the device was ready to use. Then and now If I click on the window Start symbol then go to the "Computer" button it brings up a window that lists info in 3 sections: Hard Disk Drives, Devices with Removable Storage, and Portable Devices. In the Portable Devices section there is a phone icon with a label "SGH-T889 portable media device". Clicking that area opens the file browser window with two hard drive icons, one labeled "Card" the other "Phone". Each label includes the usual information of how much total and available storage is available in each, i.e. 14.6 GB free of 14.8 GB and 7.5 free of 10.8. Clicking on one of these brings up a typical file tree of the files in the respective area of phone storage. I seem to be able to do everything with the files I can do with any other storage. Select, cut, copy, paste, rename, delete etc. are available options just like any other file in windows.
There have been a couple of times where the connection did not seem to be detected with an initial hook up of the USB. I simply moved the USB plug from one PC port to the next in those cases and the connection was recognized and every thing worked as described after that. I think the connection is only being recognized using the same port I initially hooked up with and from which the device driver was installed. You might try plugging into a different USB port to see if it makes a difference.
In short everything seemes to work like any other device I've ever installed on windows and works the same way any other portable storage device works with the Windows Explorer app. I Just noticed I stated "Internet Explorer" in my original post. Sorry for any confusion this caused, I was on the road carrying on a conversation while I made that entry. I will correct the original now to correctly state "Windows Explorer".
OK just noticed the OP was asking about an S3. I hope the answer based on my Note 2 works for him. I was in the car listening to my wife with one ear and to by grandson with the other and just assumed the question was for a Note 2 since it was in a Note 2 thread. Hope I didn't waste too many peoples time (other than my own) explaining something that was already working for everyone.

wow.. i thought this was a sam s3 forum.. my bad.
Ok so some background. I got the note 2 since release. Recently I had the sd card slot fail, so I brought it to AT&T to get replaced. When I got it home I was looking at the photos on my SD card and it had a new icon. I pressed it in curiousity and it displayed the photo on my tv. I never seen my old phone have this option. I tried it with a few others and thought it was a feature I didnt have on my old one. I decided to see if it worked on any other tv, so i went downstairs and the icon was gone. It was normally on the top right on the gallery while looking at photos near the share button. Back to my room, and the icon was gone. WTF was it that I was able to do but never replicate again?
The tv is a Panasonic plamsa tcp50st50. I didnt have any apps on my phone that connected to my tv. what is it that i did and how do i get it back>? It looked like the share button but a little different.
This is a pure guess on my part, but I was in the gallery and clicked on the share button, then clicked on show all, then clicked on Wi-Fi Direct. Although I don't have a Wi-Fi TV nearby when I return to the gallery the Wi-Fi Direct icon is to the right of the share icon. Hope that sheds some light and you keep us updated on what you find out.

If you had an xbox or other device connected to wifi it would allow you to send any pic or video to it.

It's the DLNA/AllShare. It only works with DLNA or AllShare devices. Make sure your TVs are turned on and connected to your network, the Note II is on Wifi, and open the gallery app, select a photo or video, tap menu, then Scan for nearby devices. Give it a few seconds, then you'll see the icon that looks like a TV or monitor with some lines on it. Tap that, and it will send the video or pic to the TV.
