AirVdeo like application for WM

First of all thank you guys for such a great apps environment you created for our lazy WM platform.
Second of all I hope I am posting my request in the right place. Could someone start developing an application similar in functions with AirVideo for iphone. Its a basic app with a server(PC) - client(device) side that allows you to play on the phone any video stored on the PC (and any other storage media connected to the PC) without having to actually transfer the video on the device itself.
For more info please check : http://www.inmethod.com/air-video/index.html
It would be amazing if someone could achieve this. I would gladlly pay for such an app as I oftenly like to review my video courses I have stored on my PC from the convenience of my phone.
PS: I gave up the iphone platform 6 months ago and I am so much happier with my HD2.

Try orb. i use it on my HD2 and it works great. There's no need for a client app either! Just a browser (built in IE will do).

10x for the suggestion, I wasn't aware of this software.
Does it provide access to my content through my wireless router (under a local connection - PC and phone using the same WIFI) or do I have to stream everything through my broadband and their online servers?
All you need for airvideo is that the phone and the pc are connected to the same WIFI. All the streaming is done using the local connection which is good for privacy and there is also the option to convert a video file on the fly.
This sort of functionality I would like on the windows mobile platform if a developer would like to give it a go.

Orb basically turns your PC into a media server. You just use whatever means you want to connect to your PC. I have a use one of those services that gives your PC a name, and I just connect to it via that, so I can do it via my internet connection if I want to, or connect via wifi and use the local IP address (192.168.x.x) to connect that way, but I don't tend to do that much, as I'm obviously in range of my PC if I'm in range of the router
Orb gives you access to specified folders on your PC, and all the media within them. It does images, video and music, so it really is a great addition to any device.

How to Get PC to See S3 w/o Windows Media Player??

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.

[Q] Transferring Large Files Between Phones??

Ok, I know I'm not crazy, but is there ANY way, besides Bluetooth, to transfer large files between the LGOG and another Phone?
I've tried the LGOG's FileShare app but it refuses to recognize my GS3 even after they both connect via Wi-Fi Direct. And just using plain ol' Wi-Fi Direct doesn't even come up as a sharing option on this phone. I can't use NFC obviously because it's only intended for small files and links. I've already tried bluetooth, but I have another thread floating around this forum detailing my experience with my LGOG being unable to connect to ANY other phone after it powercycled when connected to a friend's GS3. (On a side note, it did it AGAIN when I was connected to my bluetooth speaker today)
This is the only thing that freaking bugs the hell out of me about this device. The lack of options to wirelessly share files between devices. Obviously my bluetooth is most likely defective. Waiting on a custom OS to see if that will resolve my BT issues. But come on, this is ridiculous.
EDIT:
Oh, and the SmartShare app limits you to only Pictures, Video, and Music!

You could always connect both phones to a PC and put them in MTP mode (not charge mode) and the PC will recognize them both as a media player, allowing you to browse the entire file system. Then just copy the file from one phone to the other using PC.

Can't WiFi direct be used? I know you tried it but maybe your doing something wrong. Sadly I've never messed with it

Yeah, I know the old school way. I'm just looking for a way to do it wireless.

Well, I have a GS3 also. On that phone, whenever you long press on a file/app and click "Share", Wi-Fi Direct comes up as one of the options to use as a file transfer medium. All you have to do is clock wifi direct and click the device and BOOM! The file starts sending. However, on the LGOG, it's not that simple for some odd reason. I can turn on wifi direct on both phones AND link them. But if i wanna send a file from my LGOG to another wifi direct device, it doesn't come up as a share option. You can open up Smartshare and use the LGOG like a DLNA server and play/upload music, movies, and pictures from the LGOG to the other wifi direct device. But Smartshare (unless i'm using it wrong) only limits you to those three options. What if I want to transfer an 850MB .zip or .iso file???

You could try "samba file sharing" on the market. Phone should show as a samba share on your windows network. Then you can use es file explorer, LAN, access the share. Have not tried, but this should enable wireless file sharing.

Haha, so funny that you mentioned that app. I did an intense search and ended up stumbling on Samba Fileshare a few hours after my last post. Has a tendency to force close every now and then but it works pretty good.

I got a pic to display on my tv wirelessly and cant replicate it any more.

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.

[Q] Best Apps for transferring files over WiFi?

Hi everyone,
An iOS App called "DeskConnect" caught my attention because it is pretty neat at what it does. It allows you to send files from your PC/Mac to your, in this case, iDevice (or vice versa) over WiFi in a breeze. You just have to download the App on the computer and iDevice register with the same account on both devices.
My question is, is their an application similar to DeskConnect for Android? I'd like to download an App on my Mac and HTC One and be able to send stuff from my computer by just dragging what I want to send into the application and then receiving the document in the application on my phone.
I know I can probably connect my phone via USB and then transfer files like but I want to know if there is an easy way to do this over WiFi.

AirDroid is pretty cool for doing that.
For me sometimes a bit buggy though. (especially when transferring mp3)
Still in my opinion the best choice!
Everything runs over your browser.
Ps: the registration is only needed if you want to transfer files through the Internet rather than using your network.

PushBullet is what I use. But the limit for uploading a file is 25MB. I know some apps are bigger than that but it's worked well for me so far, light on the PC and phone, just runs on the browser as well.

PushBullet!:good: It's simple. Download the app to your phone and the Chrome extension, log in to both and voila "push" files with one click!

I've been using WiFi File Transfer Pro for a good while now, it's very good..... https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.smarterdroid.wififiletransfer&hl=en

I would say Air Droid is best because you can also control your camera and have notifications displayed on the PC

Android has a lot better solution than that. You can install "Software data Cable" . Chose Sync and it create an FTP server. You just need to have a FTP client on your PC/Mac/Linux.
What's more, when the phone is not in wifi network, it can create an wireless Hotspot.

i use this:

ES File Explorer which is very easy to setup, especially using this guide

Solid Explorer has a nifty FTP share feature... I used it because for what ever reason I couldn't mount my One via USB. Airdroid works well too.

Whoa! Didn't expect to get a lot of replies, thanks you guys!

Been using Wifi File Explorer Pro for about 5 years now without a single problem. I can highly recommend it
Swiftkeyed from my Renovated HTC One

Why install extra app
ES Explorer do all jobs
Activate WiFi Hotspot or connect phone to PC WiFi
open ES explorer >> tools >> remote manager >> click on Turn on Note ftp address >> Windows explorer >> address bar >> fill Ftp address from phone to bar & now you can access all files
Phone to phone file transfer same way & 1 more short way
SuperBeam is Also for both PC & Phone

Zapya has a perfect interface and possibilty to connect to iphone and PC by wifi direct. Approximately 3MB per second
