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.

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] allShare cast + Windows 7

Hi,
I am very happy with my Note II since two weeks, I never had such a perfect phone before.
There is an option called allShare cast, I read about it and it seems that this is some kind of DLNA stuff.
Since my TV is connected with my PC via HDMI by default, I don't want to buy the Samsung allShare device box, which is around 90 Euros.
Is there any program for Windows 7 that can emulate an allShare Device?
I already tried to connect it via DLNA and Windows Media Player, but without luck, the allShare Cast Assistant on the Note 2 is not able to find the DLNA Server.
It is really a cool feature, would love to play GTA III on my TV or Computer Monitor with my phone, or watch Videos, show images or what ever.
It would be also alright if I had to use another App, it just should transfer ("mirror") the screen of the phone without a big delay and of course 720p....

No one?

Try skifta app on the phone (from market)

Hi there is samsung allshare cast program for windows 7. Open samsung website it should be there.

Thanks for your reply.
I already downloaded this application, but it can only stream music/images/video but not games or other apps....

I am looking also for this, but I doubt there is one.
Mainly because I *bought and rented movies from the Video Hub (*with a free voucher I got), and I don't want to watch a movie on the small S3 screen.
The app mentioned above is AllShare Play, which does only dlna/upnp of the connected devices to share music/video/pics, not the VideoHub movies or the screen mirror...

You can install Foobar2000 for music sharing. It must work with AllShare.

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

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...

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.

Does watchON work with Xbox 360?

Does the watchON remote work with Xbox 360?
I have me TV, BluRay, and AV receiver set up just fine with the watchON universal remote, but I can seem to fina way to get it to talk to my Xbox 360. Does anybody know what the trick is to get this to work. I basically just want to have the ability to turn on my Xbox and turn it off. Anything past that isn't required for me.
Thanks.

Ya. I was hoping somebody might have found an IR code that would work to simply power on the Xbox 360, since pretty much every other universal remote on the planet can do that and more. Too bad.

should work all the time, mine does. Make sure you are pointing it at the xbox, remember it is IR, so it communicates through light.

If you go to settings you can add a device to the room and when you select media player the is an option for Microsoft which will let the app control the Xbox.

Hmm, so the options on the remote for the Xbox are a bit lacking. Basically just power and navigation (see attached), with no option for numbers or changing channels in Windows Media Center. It also still uses the "TV remote" when using the TV guide. I use a cable card and media center but looks like the app doesn't support that setup. Still nice being able to turn the Xbox on.
Also if you have the Xbox glass app you can do things like open netflix, xfinity, or HBO go. They don't really use the glass app much, but you can do some scrubbing of video and the "controller" has a few more buttons like the Xbox home button. See attached screen shots for more details.
