I wonder, is it possible to connect the Note to a TV set without NHL or other wired setups? Is there any kind of dongle one can connect to the TV to receive audio/video by Bluetooth or wifi?

U can, if the TV do have DLNA and just connect it wireless.

Do you want to stream content from the phone or see the phone screen on the TV?
DLNA would cover the 1st option - the built-in Allshare app turns the phone into a DLNA compliant server.
For the 2nd option, you could either use and MHL cable with a wireless HDMI setup or use something Android VNC Server from a PC attached to the TV.
I use imediashare from the market to stream to my apple tv2... works great. Works with an Xbox and lots of other things too.

Allshare works fine. I have connected my PC, LED and phone. Cool thing to show off as well.
Thanks, the latter.I might use one of my Nokia internet tablets to setup vnc and hook it to my TV. Won't be quick enough for gaming and streaming, though.
The wireless hdmi setup requires too many things attached to the Note to be comfortable.

The Allshare works great, running with a Samsung UNC55D8000. Images video crisp clear and very fast sync.
Is there any wireless Mirroring on the horizon?

Allshare works fine between TV and phone, but the PC client has difficulties with shared folders. It keeps delisting my media folders, and now even unable to add any folders at all.
Try Qloud Media Free in the market

Plasma TV without DLNA
Hi guys,
I have a LG Plasma TV without DLNA but with USB ports and HDMI ports.
I know I can connect my Note with the MHL cable but would like to explore the wireless options.
1) If I try to plug a wifi usb stick to the Plasma TV, will it work ?
2) If not, what are the other available options ?
thanks

OK, but will it work if I plug in a wireless usb dongle on the LG Plasma TV (which does not have the DNLA) ?
Please can someone confirm which app you guys are talking about to stream to the ps3 for movies download from my phone.

Unlikely, the USB port on your TV is likely only for connecting a USB memory stick or hard-drive to display photos and possibly videos. If your TV's firmware had support for a wireless USB dongle it would also likely be DLNA compliant.
Hi thanks. I have heard about HDMI (one side) to wireless (the other side) connection for example for HTC (HTC Media Link). Do we have similar things for Samsung Galaxy Note?

Well, there's the HTC Media Link for starters!
However, this only offers DLNA streaming, not full display mirroring.
The HTC Media Link HD does offer display mirroring, but only when partnered with an HTC One X or S.

OK,
So what are the available options for me (owner of the galaxy note and a HDTV without DLNA but with HDMI).
Is it only the MHL cable then ? Any other options to mirror or wirelessly stream ?
I saw an adapter for the Galaxy III which connects to the phone through wifi direct and to the TV set through hdmi cable. It's exactly what I wanted.
Hope out works for the Note, too, when it's available.

If your TV doesn't have dnla, Then get a dnla ready home theater / blue ray player
Those are your only two choices for wireless streaming from your Note to your TV. And it works really well.

I am streaming wirelessly. I connect the 2 via wifi direct then on my phone I open a video in the stock video player once it starts playing there is an icon at the top left to connect to wireless display and I click it and it automatically displays on my TV but is being played on my phone. I am not using a video player on my tv at all.
I know you can't do it with Netflix this way or Crackle but if you rent/buy a movie from the play store you can stream it wirelessly to you tv.

I am actually using Windows media center as my DVR and in conjunction with Remote Potato I can stream any movies or recordings (broadcast flag permitting) across local network or internet and play them through the stock video player which I am then able to stream to a TV that has wireless display capabilities. So I typically do not keep movies on my SD card.
Just for the record you can use Remote Potato with out using media center and be able to stream whatever content you have on your PC to your phone. Works very well.
you can stream anything you want even slingplayer using the allshare cast dongle! its a really nice piece of tech to own!
If you have a PS3 I posted a tutorial on how to stream from your phone.

You can wireless mirror your phones displays to your TV using the All-Share Cast Hub. It supports 1080p video output too.

Looking for a wireless solution similar to Samsung all share.
I don't know if one but if you hear be sure to tell me too.
And unless Samsung changed All Share since I had my epic touch you couldn't wireless mirror. It only would let you do videos, audio, and images wirelessly. Please correct me if I am wrong but I am pretty sure on this.
I think what the poster is referring to is wirelessly mirroring everything like browsing the net and playing games.
To add to this, I saw a Korean video of someone demonstrating the optimus g on a tv while using the phone wirelessly. So it is possible. I don't know what app it was but I don't remember a cord. If I find the video I will post the link.

I have a Netgear Miracast/Intel WiDi display adapter connected to my tv. The OG picks up the Netgear as a compatible adapter and seems ready to output to it wirelessly but when I tell it to connect, nothing happens. The OG says it is connecting but never actually does. I noticed though that the instructions the phone displays says to either connect the LG Miracast dongle or turn on the Miracast feature on the tv. So potentially a LG Miracast donlge exists that may allow for the use of mirroring the OG or maybe some LG tvs have this feature builtin and it can be used that way.

I upgraded to JB and now when I try to use Miracast with my Netgear PTV3000, it works initially but disconnects after about 2 minutes every time. Also, when streaming HD video over Miracast, its now initially very jerky/choppy (lots of dropped frames), though it eventually smooths out but then as mentioned above, it disconnects. I had no such issues with ICS (everything worked fine) so I think the Miracast streaming/disconnect problems are due to some issue with the stock JB ROM and not my Netgear adapter.
I went yo the sprint store to pay my bill and saw this on the way out. It apparently, to the uninitiated, acts like a router but only connects with allshare and HDMI to the TV. A salesman and myself tried playing with it. I'm on calkulin el29 2.8.1. and couldn't connect to the in store model. Upon further investigation, it only works with the note 1&2 and the s3. I couldn't figure out why or what's the difference that those devices have that mine doesn't. Could it be jellybean? I installed fl04 but couldn't make it back to test it out. I'm assuming it's a jb thing. So the other hardware has nfc, big f'in deal. You have to be extremely close for that to work. It can't be that it's on the n band of wifi, can it? Afaik, this phone can go dual band. Does anyone have an explanation or work around for this? I've got a roku and wdtv and Panasonic bluray and my gf has a Sony br. Very few file types actually play on these dlna devices from the phone. I've tried allshare and imediashare and a few others but if one won't play them then none of them will work. I thought there might be such a thing as a device like this one that its only function is being a dlna receiver, but I can't find anything other than this. Apparently HTC makes something similar but it only works on their phones. What the heck?

The media server and display device need to be connected to the same network.
In your example, your phone needs to be connected to the same wireless network as the shop's TV.
Allshare is just Samsung's name for DLNA media sharing. Fun to play with in the home.
FL04
Just fyi, since the update to JB, Samsung has added in some media component to the movie player so you can stream to a samsung smart tv. This feature wasnt available in GB or ICS
You can do this with photos in the gallery app as well...

Okay. Then maybe I should flash back to fl04 and see if it connects. I should download the user manual for it and see if you have to connect the hub to your network or the phone connects directly to the hub. I don't have any other dlna devices besides the phone that could feed the hub. The sales people said that it will only work with Samsung phones and allshare. That's too bad that it isn't your standard dlna hub, but it looks like its software between the phone and hub are made to be proprietary. I hate crap like that. Plus, their asking price of $100 is too much IMO. I'd pay $50 at the most for it. That was the general consensus with reviews of it. It works with only a limited amount of new phones and it's too expensive for what it is.
Dlna, across the board, has one requirement; same network as stated above. Have the shop attach your device to their network and it'll work. It's not proximity like nfc.

hmm
if you have a wirless router in your house, you do not need the allshare media hub as long as you have a samsung smart tv (not sure about other smart tv manufacturers)
When I ran the all share app it browsed my PC then streamed a video from the PC to the phone, then my Sony TV switched inputs by its self and started playing the movie on the tv without wires
You dont even need a smart TV, I play music, videos, slideshows, etc... through my xbox all I do is choose the switch player option :thumbup:

Sort of. Chromecast can show a few things (YouTube, Google Play, Hulu Plus, NetFlix) on your TV. It is controlled by an Android device (like the Nexus) but it isn't streaming it from there.
However, on a desktop browser (but not from the Nexus, that I know of) you can have it more or less grab your screen and put it on the TV. Then you can show anything but video performance is only so-so and that's if you have a screaming fast computer and network.
Why you can't do that from Android, I have no idea -- it may be because of things like Hulu being paranoid about missing out on the mobile market.

Chromecast is not mirroring. You need special apps that have Chromecast capability to stream. And currently there are very few apps that can do that (Netflix, Youtube, etc.). You can not even mirror pictures or recorded videos (yet).
There are 3 ways (that I'm aware of) to mirror (listed in order or reliability):
1. Use a long cable (wired method). You need a slimport adapter and a long HDMI cable. There are mixed reviews and many are reporting the cheaper slimport adapters aren't working well. I use the one made by Kanex and it works well, but it's on the more expensive side at about $30.
2. Miracast (wireless) - This is similar to Widi and may be compatible with some Widi units. You need a TV that has a widi adapter built-in or you need to purchase a Widi Adapter for your TV. I have a Belkin Screencast which connects to my TV via HDMI and is a Widi adapter. The latest firmware allow it to do Mracast as well. However, I had to try several times until I got it to connect. I bought the Belkin Screencast a year ago to work with my laptop, but it was unreliable as it disconnected every few minutes. Hoping the latest firmware update would fix some issues. I just connected it today to my Nexus 7 and need to do further testing.
3. Google TV (wireless) - You need a TV with a built-in Google TV box or a separate Google TV box. There are apps that you can add to both the Google TV box and your Nexus which allow mirroring. However, I found this to be unreliable. The apps really slowed down my Logitech Google TV box. Lots of lag as well.
Nothing beats the good old wired slimport cable. However, I've seen Youtube videos showing great success using Mracast with other branded Miracast adapters (maybe it's just the Belkin that has issues).
Good luck!
Just a quick question, can I switch the screen off on my mobile when mirroring to tv via slimport? I want to use xbmc on nexus to watch tv on my tv screen and use Bluetooth mouse to control it so I don't need my nexus screen to be on.

No. Slimport will mirror whatever is on your screen to your TV. If the Nexus screen is blank, the TV screen will be blank too.
Obviously a Slimport connected to the Nexus 7 is the way to go. Then it is just HDMI.
I do have a question, can you please recommend a specific slimport model where someone has had success with the airport.
