Htc media link ?! - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

I've done some searching and can't seem to find any answers, as to if there its any way to get the media link to work with other devices other then htc devices. Sammy shows the link in the wifi connections tried allshare an even 3rd party apps like twonky no dice... Not sure if there is apk or something more to it.
Thanks in advance this could be a awesome acc. If we can get it to work with our devices !

I would also like to know if there is something like this for the galaxy note ...wireless mirroring done right in my opinion

Actually, for some reason, the gmail button doesnt work :-/ But the other back, home, browser, etc buttons work
Microsoft Bluetooth mouse and keyboard both work. I'm going to play around with the keyboard layout files and see if I can improve it but it works as is.
I've tried to connect my microsoft keyboard and it doesn't get seen, did you do anything specific to get it to connect?

Any specific ms models? I'm going to my local best buy in the morning... doubt they will have accessories but I'll see... I may end up with a xoom keyboard or a genuine sammy kyb if they have them in stock tomorrow...
Freedom Pro keyboard works
I decided not to link all the threads I found for bluetooth devices... A conservative count would put the number of bluetooth device threads at about 1:12... that's pretty good odds that you did not search, let alone read before posting.
Just a thought. BTW, it helps to put a topic in the thread title.

Slingplayer phone will not work on my Galaxy Nexus (fixed)

I have been a Slingplayer user for over six years. Yes I know how to set up my router. I can sling to any computer, to my iphone, to my ipad2, but when I try it on my Galaxy Nexus it will go to the screen where you choose your slingbox or the "directory" then just stays on that screen. I can click my box but to no avail.
I am 100% sure its an issue with either the android app, my Gnex, or another app that may be conflicting with it.
I am on CM9Kang 4.0.3 with the 4.0.3 radios and boot loader, I am using fracos kernel 12, and nova launcher. has anyone else had any issues.
I use the Sling Player and it has been working fine for me. I'm running the Codename Android rom.
Sent from my GalaxyNexus using XDA App
Me, too. No problems with Slingplayer on the rooted stock ROM.
What radios and bootloader do you have?
This is as far as I can get.
using 4.0.3 radio. Have you tried a different sling player apk file? I'm sure its something within the phone if its working on everything else.

I wouldnt know where to get a different APK, just google it?
That fricken P*** me off. I just downloaded an APK and it works. So the app I payed 30$ for doesnt work and the app I didnt want to download because I felt it was like steeling worked. No wonder no one likes to pay for android apps, its a friggen scam!
Oh thanks for the advice.
Please help
Guys,
I am experiencing the same thing as Chakra. My Slingbox works great on my iPad but when I connect to my Galaxy Nexus it fails to load past the Directory Screen.
I spoke to supervisors at Slingbox and they have no clue what to do and told me to reach out to Google who has no clue what to do. This is the only forum on the web who has someone that has gotten past this. Please help me out.

Rogers One Android App out! (but only for tablet, possible non-tablet fix?)

i noticed that this was very very silent news as i assume rogers doesnt want people to use this, since it basically allows free unlimited calling:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...t#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsImNvbS5yb2dlcnMudm9pcCJd
however, i am unable to download it as i dont have a tablet. i've actually tried using a device spoofer to make my galaxy S be recognized as a nexus 7 but still doesnt let me download.
does anyone know if non-tablet can install tablet apks?
regardless, perhaps this opens up more of how one can develop a non-tablet version.
I created a backup apk (https://www.dropbox.com/s/i0x1q4d5yj1toyv/One Number_1.2.1.apk) and tried installing it on my phone but it FCs after the splash screen... not sure if someone can try seeing what's happening?

thanks! i was able to install it but yes crashes also after splash. i assume it needs at least a minimum resolution.
also tested on galaxy note (tablet resolution), no dice,also crashes.
The app works great on the transformer Prime. Use it all the time. Would be awesome to get it working on the s3.

The Ever Elusive "Miracast" Feature

Okay let's see if we can clear this up, cause I've seen many different unanswered posts on this subject, and my brains about to turn to goo
Alright, Google announced that Miracast (screen mirroring for display on a compatible smart TV) would be included in version 4.2 . Obviously, this feature would only apply to devices that already contain the necessary internal hardware (such as Samsung devices that come stock with AllShare Cast (not AllShare Play which is just a WiFi-Direct/dlna push app))
With dlna/WiFi-direct you can, with the press of one button, send almost any picture, movie, or sound file to a smart device. Which always works for me.
With Miracast (also known as Wireless-Display) you can show your whole device screen on your TV so you can do whatever you want on your phone, but show it on your TV at the same time.
So why is this feature not only NOT included in most ROMs, but the stock feature itself has been stripped from the ROMs as well??
How do I get it?
My brain is so close to exploding I can feel the cold hand of Death on my shoulder

Does anybody use screen mirroring? Or am I asking about a feature that the only one interested in it is me
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I use it to mirror my phone on my appradio 2 in my car. I asked this question long ago in a thread which u replied to. It looks like we are the only 2 who care
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Tapatalk
My opinion is pure speculation.
I would imagine that since our device has not had an official release above 4.1.2, Miracast is probably something that is low on any dev's priority list (as was HDMI out for a long time for AOSP etc... hell I don't even know if it has been fixed).
I would imagine that it would be pretty hard to build or cook into a ROM for our device since we do not have the official drop (yet) and on top of that, it would be pretty hard to test since it seems only two/three members of these Note II threads are wondering about it (although it would be a neat feature). IMHO anything that I would share with my TV would be photos and videos; both are easily accessed through my DLNA device (PS3) over WLAN.
Also, there is the external hardware needed for Miracast to work and I can imagine a lot of us do not have said device (Push2TV or a Miracast certified HDTV) and so to test it, a dev would have to go out and grab it or count on the community to have it for testing... I think a lot of that energy and time would probably be best put towards stability and solving more "popular" issues.
Again, pure speculation.
It would be a neat feature but after all of the reviews I've seen on it, there needs to be a lot of work done to smooth it out in the first place.
Damn shame too... AppleTV's got this feature down very well...
You guys want to take a look into the Chromecast threads.
I'll just say this I have All Cast working again on my device no problem:thumbup:
I DO understand we'll like the mirroring thing to work but maybe it'll take sometime to get it functioning correctly.
But you can take a look HERE:

[Q] What are you using for Flash Player?

My Galaxy S4 on stock rooted 4.3 displays videos on Facebook and other sites just fine using Chrome. But my G Pad will not. After clicking on a video link, I get a message that I need to install Adobe Flash player but that my device does not support it. I searched XDA and everything I found says Chrome is not compatible. But Chrome is obviously compatible since it works on my S4. Any ideas how to get around it? I'm stock rooted on my G Pad.

There's a KitKat compatible Flash Player .APK floating around the xda forums.. Basically some framework needed to use Flash was removed from Android in KitKat, that made it impossible to use Flash, but then a dev repacked this framework into Flash Player .APK itself and relinked the paths. So.. Basically you will have to search for that special .APK, (It is over in the Nexus 5 or Nexus 7 2013 forums somewhere.)
They recommend using Dolphin Browser and Dolphin Jetpack along with this .APK.. But I guess you could try other Flash compatible browsers such as Maxton, Boat and Holo Browser.
Who knows. It works at least for me.
Also Chrome isn't compatible with Flash, never have been and never will be. It must have been something else.. HTML5 or whatever they use these days. Chrome has never been able to play Flash content.
Hope this helps.
Yea, I've seen that thread about it. But I'm currently on stock 4.2.2. And I agree about Chrome, that's what I've heard too. But seriously, it works on my S4. I can use Chrome on both my phone and tablet, navigate to the same exact site, and click on the same exact link. It will play on the S4 and give me the error on the G Pad about needing flash player and my device not being compatible. I'll ask in the S4 forum to see if anyone knows why/how it works. Appreciate the quick response CuraeL.

How about the "Request Desktop Site" in Chrome drop down menu? Is it enabled on one of the devices. I reckon it will work better if it's not set to request desktop since it may use a mobile player plug-in instead. Perhaps that's the catch?
If not, then I don't understand how Chrome is doing anything, it has never been able to.. ;/
But yeah, maybe the Sammy S4 boys know something we don't, lol. ^^
Let us know what you find.
