Why would I want to pair my Samsung T.V. to my Samsung Epic Touch 4g?

Hello everybody, I have a question and I know there is a wealth of Tech wisdom on this forum. How can I benefit pairing my cellphone to my samsung t.v. set via bluetooth? I want to learn new things to do with my cell phone.

I tried this and it does not work for me.

Look for Samsung remote un the play store. Both the tv and phone need to be connected to the same wifi to work.

And you need the right model tv. Basically 2011 or newer I believe.

I am currently using Samy Go remote because it is the only remote that works in Tablet Mode. But my quest ion has to do with bluetooth and not wifi. I love streaming thru wifi. But why do they have bluetooth?

I'm guessing it has to do with options. I imagine not everyone has wifi.

yeah I used the remote app before. Works fine, has all the buttons the normal remote does. All of them don't fit on the screen though. You actually have to scroll up and down the remote from what I remember.

I don't BT to my TV, bt on my TV runs my keyboard.

That actually seems really cool to me. Do all sammy tvs do that?

Allot of the newer ones do. Mine does allot more MINE. Dont even need a PC for the TV now.

I have a Panasonic viera plasma instead of a Sammy set and it works great from my phone. It uses wifi to connect instead of bt.
With Allshare, I can view pics and stream music but not videos.
Comes in handy because my couches tend to eat my remotes, the phone is always in my pocket

It looks like the general consensus is that bluetooth from the phone to the tv is worthless and wifi is way more useful.
If I helped you out in any way please thank me. Thanks.

I connected my phone to my google TV made by Sony. I can use it as a remote to control the TV but that's about it. I'm sure you could transfer files if you found some reason you needed to lol.

Vids/pics/music on XBOX

Surprised no one has talked about this at all. Anyway, happened to be watching Netflix on my XBOX last night, and while doing so, was checking out some pictures on my phone. Saw a button I never seen before that kind of looked like a little computer screen with 3 lines kind of going through it. I guess it said something like "view on another player". This apparently being the first time I was using my S3 and XBOX at the same time. So I press the button, and it stops my movie, and shows my picture on my TV!
Did some fooling around. As long as I'm using a stock music, video, or gallery app, and the file is on the phone itself, it will stream through my XBOX at the touch of a button. The free Avengers movie in Media Hub didn't work, Netflix didn't work. USB transferred an episode of Hell on Wheels over to the phone, it asked if I wanted to convert it to assure it would work on the phone and said yes, tried it out and it worked pretty good. I can only imagine how nice it would have looked if I hadn't converted it, going to try later and see.
Was just curious if anyone else has used this feature at all? Seems pretty cool to me.

I think that's DLNA.

The TV has nothing to do with it, it's going through my XBOX. It was just crazy to me because I've never been able to link my XBOX and computer properly, and I can see my computer in the gallery app sometimes but I can never see any files. I did happen to start a test on my battery while having basically everything running and all options available, so I have activated some options I normally don't use. I think one night I tried messing with the settings on my XBOX to get it to show my phone since it comes up on my roomie's PS3 although I've never tried using this feature on that before. Since I don't use my XBOX a whole lot lately, and I imagine it's possible others don't use it at the same time, I thought I'd mention it.
aNYthing, is that exactly what DLNA is? because, if so, there's a lot of people going and buying that allshare hub thing that wouldn't need to if they have an XBOX or PS3. Obviously Samsung is not going to promote that! I don't have the DLNA share option being used so it never occurred to me that it could be using it. I guess I assumed DLNA was something that was used to go directly to the TV, which in my case, is not what's happening, and definitely not possible.

Where was that monitor icon? On Xbox or phone?

on the phone. XBOX was already playing a Netflix movie. Pressed it and it stopped the movie I was watching, and a few seconds later, it appeared on my TV. Swiped to another pic, and IT popped up. Watched a short video I took the other day, it looked GREAT! As I said, I'm not really sure what I changed or if I established a link between my S3 and XBOX before or not but hey, it was pretty damn cool to me, lol.

Try serviio on your computer and enjoy videos on your computer through Xbox and on your phone. I've been using it for years

i have heard that ps3 media server works on xbox and you can do .mkv over it, also recently TVERSITY has been updated to supposedly do .mkv but I am yet to try it

It'll work on any dlna enabled device like my bravia tv

I had issues with video stuttering or simply not playing on my Viera.

No it just streams it. If it stutters it might be ur connection or ur tv.

works great on my xbox. i'm sure the file has to be compatible but you probably won't get the other viewer option if it's not anyway.
My main purpose of this post was to find other people using the same feature and if they have any tips such as, what files will work for this or what apps can use it, etc.

had no idea i could do this until i saw this thread. thank you!

You have to be connected to the same Wi-Fi and it will work.
Or you can yes double twist and it does the same thing.

I made a tut on how to do this on the PS3 but it didn't seem too many people were interested in it. Simple though get a video converter and convert the movies to mp4 standard and don't let the phone convert it on transfer leave it the way it is and it will work no matter what, the phone sends everything by means of media player so any device that allows media server wifi conection will play from this device.

Did the mhl work for you? I ran a quick attempt and it wasn't seeing anything. MAYBE I needed to use a different cable and wall plug, I was using one that, it seems now, isn't supplying a lot of power.
Just wanting a confirmation that the mhl works.

You can do this in YouTube app. You need a TV with YouTube though I believe. Not sure how it works though, never felt the need to get it working for me.
Sent from my SGH-T889 using Tapatalk 2

mhl converter
Mhl works great. You just need to make sure if you are searching amazon or eBay or whatever you use to make sure it's the one for the s3 or note 2. The cable for the s2 is different for some reason. Allshare hub is ok but gets laggy on anything other than pics and videos you have on the phone already. Trying to stream Netflix from the phone through the hub doesn't work very well at all.

I use my xbox360 to stream stuff from my phone to my tv works flawlessly for music video and images. If you have any other device that supports DLNA that would work as well

I actually use that feature... pretty much go into your tv youtube app and under the sign in part theres something where you share your screen, pretty much go into that and take your tvs code and type it into your phones youtube app and a little button will appear for you when looking at videos on your phone similar to the one in gallery to share pics/vids...
Great for old movies or tv shows on youtube

Just use the mhl adapter. get one from ebay. cost like $10. This is the one I got and it works flawlessly:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/251194581683
Just plug it into the phone then plug in the ac adapter (it needs power) and connect the HDMI cable from adapter to tv and BOOM, a mini power computer. I have a bluetooth mouse and keyboard paired to the phone and it works great. The only thing it would make it perfect is if I can stream the optimum tv app. unfortunately the optimum tv app can detect if you are using an "external" display and it won't show the video on the tv. But you can stream watchespn, hbo go, max go and pretty much any other apps onto the big screen.
I tried to ask if anyone can hack the optimum app to allow it to be used with external display but no one replied.

No one has heard of the app mirrorop. Haven't tried on note yet. But on Asus Transformer Pad TF300T it mirrors your screen exactly but to a PC. (Which I had connected to my TV via HDMI) only downside is doesn't stream audio. Use some Bluetooth speakers. Works well

using mhl update
tv must be mhl compatable or the cable convert to hdmi n not just wires but some actual brain
second. get the 11 pin not the 5 pin mhl adapter or it wont work on note ii. [sgs2 mhl adapter wont work]

Yeah have been using the allshare dongle myself got it with the 50% disount off sammys website.... works perfect for me only problem it doesnt work on anything but stock/rooted rom .... there is a bounty in another thread but not looking to good so for now mhl or the dongle are the best choices out

I use iMediashare.

Hi, I bought a cable off of ebay (red) for $11.00 packaged for the SIII but works fine on my N2, and with my stock 2.0amp charger it stays charged, though is barely charges because of the power drain. But output of both the video and audio come through fine on my vizio tv.
Hope this helps.

Thanks i will try and look into that card the previous cord i got doesnt work at all

For any of you guys who own a Roku media box. You can use the app from the Playstore: Juice for Roku. You just add the Juice channel to your Roku device, install the Android app...connect it to your Roku, then you can stream your Pics (individually or slideshow), and video's all wirelessly to your TV through your Roku.

I use ArkMC app for long time, it works well with my htc desire, you could try

[REVIEW] Netgear Push2TV PTV3000 with my Note 10.1 and AllShare Cast

I made a quick video showing me using AllShare Cast and the Netgear Push2TV PTV3000 with my Note 10.1 tablet.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JnqhZdjm16s
Works quite well so if you want to mirror or wireless stream video, this is a great solution and only $60 on Amazon. Wider compatibility than the Samsung AllShare Dongle, but keep in mind you cannot use AllShare Cast at all if your device has a flash counter higher than 1. If you can get it back to 0 and it says "Device Status: Official" then it will work great. More info about this in the video.
Let me know if you have any questions -- and sorry for the bad quality.
Edit: Using AllShare Cast does prevent using multiple apps at once. The UI speed when streamed does not run at 60fps.... looks like 30fps to me. I find this perfectly fine and the lag is too long for playing a game on. (My TV introduced some lag as well.) I have used Apple Airplay and this fees exactly the same when it comes to lag and performance.

did you say nexus 10 in the video? lol
could put a pop up note to correct that.

So that means if I am rooted (status modified) l am not able to do all share cast at all? Never heard of before, thanks a lot for that ! Am l still able to do other allshare operations?
btw: nice vid!

That is correct. You have to Triangle Away for any Samsung device that is using AllShare Cast.
As a side note, the AllShare Cast dongle supposedly works with Miracast now. Has anyone tested this yet? I have the dongle but no Miracast devices...

Yep I tried Triangle Away on my Note 2 but I couldn't get it to stick. Something on my phone keeps flipping it back to modified right after boot which also increments the flash counter back to 1. I wish I had known about this limitation before I bought the adapter or I would have just stuck to HDMI right from the start.....
And it is a rather annoying limitation.

Thanks for the review. Any issues with audio sync? Any method to get this working on CM10.1?

Thanks for this demo. I was thinking which to buy, the samsung made allshare dongle or Miracast compatible devices. Now I get a obvious answer.

I bought the netgear hoping to stream lots of video to my TV (Netflix, etc.) but the audio cuts out for a split second every few seconds - makes it pretty unique watchable. I'm running unmodified stock on my Note 10.1 and Note II - it's the same on both... anyone have any troubleshooting advice?

note 3 PS3 controler

I have an UNROOTED note 3. I purchased the official Samsung OTG cable to connect my sixaxis ps3 controler to the note 3.
phone. I have sixaxis checked under language and input.I hit the ps3 button and it just flashes for a while and turns off. The phone recognized that a usb device is connected.

You still need sixaxis app. To configure everything. With root the only difference is blue tooth versus being connected through OTG.

i do have the sixaxis app. I have the ime set to sixaxis. in the sixaxis software I have gamepad checked. Still cant get any sort of control out of it. I just ordered a new otg cable to see if that is the issue. Anyone want to spend some time and do a small right up. Every video I;ve seen show you just hook it up and it works.
