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.
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?

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.

I bought me a xbox 360 and planned to use my data on my phone to use to tether to my xbox 360. I used it at am buddies house before on his, worked flawlessly. Im using serenity 1.2 and just flashed back to the M6 firefly of the jellybean port by DG. When I open up multiplayer on xbox live, the screen says NAT:Strict. Anyway around this? Thabk you for whoever replies.

I know with routers you have to forward the dmz host to the ip of the console. I would try out the port forwarding app in Google play https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=at.bherbst.net

You have to re-pair it with the ps3 again by plugging it in.

I'm going to have to re-pair it between my Nexus 4 and my tablet every time I switch, won't I?
It makes sense, it's just annoying. Especially because I keep my games in sync using DataSync+.

I know this thread has been done for like a month but I have an urgent question.
Everytime I try to pair my N4 with m ps3 sixaxis dualshock it says
"
Attempting Connection type 1...
Driver Starting...
Could not start driver. Check that the driver has been given permission to run by the superuser app.
Attempting to close server...
restoring previous bluetooth state...
Disconnected
"
I rooted my phone months ago, I have made the supersu app grant all superuser permissions and still nothing.
Can someone please help me?

lol are you chewing gum in the vid?
Ive also been wondering if non sony controllers will work but I dont think they will cause the sony dualshock ones use bluetooth built in to the controller and a lot of the cheap ones I've seen have their own usb reciever over a diff wireless frequency. like a usb you plug into the ps3 to make it wireless. Don't think those will work.
Just wanted to say that Dead Trigger (and some more games like GTA:VC) have native controller support and you don't have to edit the key mapping (but you can do it if you want to change something).
I have setups that fill well to Real Racing 3 and PewPew if anybody is interested.

sixasis controller problems!!
hey there, ive an into some problems with the sixasis app, ive done all the steps shown in the video and when i press start on the sixasis app it says "driver starting.." and stays like that. i paired the controller on the pc and tried to do it on the nexus 4 it said "no controller found please connect it via usb cable. any1 suggestions???
Ok so ive been digging around here and there and really want to purchase the allshare cast hub to use my note 2 on my tv. That being said I have read many negative reviews about how horrible the sound is or how bad the quality is/ lagginess, etc.
Can others voice there experiences with the allshare cast hub?
On the other hand there is also this smart dock I have been reading about that turns your phone practically into a desktop computer. I think its sweet as hell but the 144 dollar price tag tells me other wise.
Please start ha all information is good information, maybe this can be a quide/ review page of people's experiences with the allshare cast or something like that, thanks! have a good one brothers and sisters!
I tried using AllShare on my Windows 7 computer. I have a pci-e card with 4 cable ready tuners. It uses windows media center to record in HD using (.wtv). This format is not supported by AllShare. I could not find anyone in their Allshare tech support to help. Samsung TV support could not tell me what speed their network ports are or what standards the Wifi on the new TVs is.

I have been using the allshare cast hub in my car hooked up to a Pioneer Appradio2 to mirror my display on the appradio and I have no sound quality issues. Connection is quick and easy. If you are rooted you will need to make sure your flash counter is set to 0 or the allshare cast will not work.
