Using my Epic as a remote...

Think of how awesome this would be...
I have a 55 inch Samsung LED television. SmartTV enabled with AllShare and all that fun stuff. So here is my question...
I want to use my Epic to control my tv. And if it's not possible in the whole sense...how about just for the keyboard function. I'm trying to avoid buying a keyboard so I figure if my phone could serve that function...not only will it be so useful but sooooooo cool!!!
Basically rather than using the remote it came with to type on the Internet or chat or Facebook....I would use my phone to type. Can AllShare be used for any of this? Or does anyone know if this is possible?

I actually think I may have just found my answer in the market....

If anyone has a similar question..."samsung remote" in the market will accomplish all of these requests!!

I already use my epic to control my directv

Is this different than the app by directv? Because I have that app but I don't have an option to use it as a remote. Ill have to do some market searching.

Its on the directtv website. It allows me to control my dvr. (i can tell me dvr to record anything even if I'm not home). I can purchase movies from ppv and cineplus.

Oh...I can do that. I'm speaking more of changing channels, volume, using my keyboard in place of my remote, etc. The Samsung Remote app does this. Setting my dvr, ppv and cineplus I can do using the directv app as well.

I'm guessing you have Directv , but there is also a Verizon Fios Remote app for Android and IOS.

I actually think there is. My brother in law was telling me about an Android App he found which would do all of this. I think he heard it from someone else though, as he didn't have it all hooked up yet, but I do believe he said it was somewhere in the $20 range for the app itself.
If you could use your smartphone as a remote for all that fun stuff...that would be..well..yeah, it's coming, EPIC.

Can you ask your brother in law what is the name of that app.

I did and he mentioned something called "pocketblu" but it only works via bluetooth. Since our phones don't have infrared, they won't work on standard TVs for the most part. He did mention AllShare but didn't get into the details of it.
I know he's looked into this stuff quite a bit, but the above information was through just a few texts. The next time we're together (probably Easter weekend) I'll be sure to have a better discussion with him.

you know rc3 has been released right.. try updating and see if it works. If not try peopleROM and see if it works, if it does, report the bug in the cm7 bug tracker

Doesn't work for me on rc2 or rc3. It does work on my tablet and asks for root access. It never asks for root on cm7.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA

Now on rc3. "Unexpected error during integrity validation". Thats what it says when I try to stream. I have un and reinstalled several times.

Ok so here is the scoop:
Xfinity TV: control recordings or what you're watching on your TV.
Works w/o issues
Xfinity Mobile: watch comcast content.
this apps says it is ICS compatible now, but I had no video just sound.
new app called Xfinity Player:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...laynow&feature=nav_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDNd
works perfectly, I installed (11mb) and ran a show w/o issues.
I hope that helps; looks like comcast may be moving things around.
I'll restore back to Thunderhawk (OMG the batter life) and test the same apps and report back - about if the xfinity mobile app acts the same.

Damn, sorry to hear that.
You'll probably have to pose the question to xfinity.

I have also had this problem, even when I upgraded from rc2 to rc3, switched su's and moved to sd card, clear data, etc.

Watching Avengers on TV

I downloaded it on my phone but I am unable to stream it on my LG Smart TV. DLNA, WiFi Direct nothing. Could neone watch it on the TV?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app

I think you have to use AllShare Cast to watch it on your TV. You'll have to buy the dongle.

Watch it using mxplayer and hdmi adapter. It is stored in a hidden folder in internal storage. Move it to a folder that is not hidden.

I moved it to my extSdCard and tried to use All Share Play over wifi, but since its a DRM enabled .pyv file it didnt work.

Wouldn't it be cheaper to just buy the movie!!! I tried everything to get it to play wirelessly on my tv but it would not work.

Can it be played through a Xbox or PS3?

Been trying to figure out too without buying the dongle. So even using wifi direct wont work?

I don't know anything about how any of this technology works, but that seems unnecessarily restrictive to me. As long as it can only physically play on the phone why should they care if you can stream it?

You, sir, are waaaaaaay too logical for your own good.

Where exactly is the movie file stored after you download it from media hub

All this drm crap is making this way too difficult. If the Avengers movie is being offered to me for free, why can't I be able to view it on my "smart" tv wirelessly.

[Q] How to share movie files from computer to samsung via wifi?

How do I share video files from my computer and stream them over my wifi on my galaxy s3?
I did a google search and it came up to use AllShare Play app but I cannot find that app in the playstore.
I'm running slimbean if that makes a difference.
Thanks,

I think allshareplay is touchwiz only.
I use my dropbox for smaller videos you can stream or download it completely for offline use.
I'd like to hear alternatives also.

MediaHouse Pro is my favorite app for this. There's also a free version.

Where is the Fire TV Remote App?

I was reading the info page on the new Amazon Fire TV Stick and it says
Download the Fire TV Remote App on your Android device (coming soon to iOS) to instantly search TV shows, movies, actors, and genres using just your voice
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Even though the device itself is not out, the above makes it sound like the app is out and available on Android. I lost my remote for the Fire TV and really don't want to shell out another $30 for one. Where can we download this app? I have been using a wireless keyboard, but would prefer to use the app.

Yep, another one searching for it here...

It hasn't been released yet.

Mine is shipping in 2 days, and I still am not finding it in the Amazon Android Appstore, or Google Play. Could it really not be released yet? Anyone have any luck getting this app?

It is out now, search the Google play store

Works fine for me on Ethernet. Once there is a network connection, it doesn't really care if it's wifi or Ethernet. My firetv is on Ethernet and my phone was on the matching wifi. Are you sure your router isn't doing any kind of separation between the Ethernet and wifi?
