Hello to everybody!
I happy to find such a forum. I recently bought an hdmi cable for my arc in order to connect it with the tv. I have plugged-in on hdmi2 port on TV.
Everything works fine. I just facing a problem when i am using Skype video call, on the phone i can see the other person that im having the conversation but NOT in the TV. The person that im skypeing with i cannot see him on TV but only on the smartphone. On TV i am able see only myself when i having skype vedeo call.
Is there any option that i can choose in order to transfer the person that im having skype video call from the phone to the TV?
Thank you for your time in advanced!

As the title goes really can you send a TV signal down the socket througha home made adapter lets say to display video from phone to TV? Something similar to what the N95 did via the audo jack?
No.
You could always use DLNA to stream stuff from your phone to your tv (if your tv supports it)
Hi everyone.
When I'm using my Samsung HDMI adapter (EPL-3FHU), it looks great on my TV. But, whenever I receive a SMS, the TV cuts in and out (while the phone's display stays on). This issue isn't application specific; the TV's display will cut in and out for each SMS.
Has anyone experienced this? I would love to get this resolved so I can use Splashtop and have intense two-player games of Dr. Mario without interruption!
Thanks!
Any input from the group is greatly appreciated!!
i think samsung is not provides you to connect the note2 to hdmi directly.
you should have a MHL cable from samsung and hdmi cable from 3rd party.
I spent my entire day to figure out the best way to connect my xperia ZL to a HDTV. What I want to do on my tv is:
a)Play all my music, tons of Mp3 in my phone.
b) Plays youtube video, sometimes I have friends over and its fun to watch music video or even dance with them (lounchign playlists)
c)Browse the web on the tv.
At first I thought to buy a smart tv, but then after reading all the reviews it is not really worth it. Cause people say that browsing the web with smart tv is a pain, and most of them do not have an hard drive where I can store my music to be played, and the utube app does not have the option to add adblock in order to play a youtube compilation seamlessly when I have a gathering/party. Therefore I decided to buy a standard tv and mirrow/share my phone screen to the TV. The available options are:
1)Connect by cable. Here I need to buy an MHL to HDMI Adapter + an HDMI cable. This seems like a good solution: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RHa56Dm2j_8 . Wireless mouse and keyboard are an extra, I might just buy a 15 feet long HDMI cable that goes from the TV to my couch and use the phone. Do you have any experience on this? what MHL to HDMI Adapter works for the ZL (the one one the youtube video works for Z not sure for ZL)
2) Connect via the Throw sony feature. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KVRV1u6qLWg I need either bluetooth or wifi on the TV, and it only works for 3 applications (walkman, album and video). You cannot throw youtube video. It could be an extra fast option to throw my music to the TV in case I am walking around the house but it would not be the solution for all the three a), b) and c) points I posted above. So this is excluded.
3)Using Chromecast. Seems like a good option. I dont know how fast and responsive it would be but it allows you to share the internet chrome browser and play utube video. But does not allow playing music I guess. And I guess no option to launch ad-free utube playlists since it would use the chromecast app to play video rite?
4)Using a android mini PC.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vvozNRIms78. I did not dig into it too much. It has an harddrive where i can copy my music...but im not sure its convenient.
5)using the mirroring screen capability under settings-> display-> screen mirroring.It seems like I need a Miracast wifi gadget to add to my TV, like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DgCDlrzqgdM . Cons: in the comments of the video it is said that you cannot connect to the wifi while you are mirroring, only 3G/4G I guess. What do you guys think?
6) Using NFC. Here is a ufficial video, but guys I have no idea what TV i should buy for doing this.
For what I have understood the easiest way is the old way via cable (point (1)). The only thing I am not sure of is: how can I charge my phone if the micro USB outlet is used buy the MHL to HDMI Adapter?? In 1 hour of browsing my phone will die!! could u enlighten me please?
As for wireless options, I like Miracast, but not sure if the fact that I am stuck on browsing with my 3G/4G network might be a problem. What do you guys suggest?
Thanks

I'm using Chromecast, it's amazing for YouTube, Netflix, Google Play Movies and Music (for while)!
Edited: in chromecast forum you can see how to stream local video from your desktop

Hello frineds,
First of all, please forgive me for my imperfect English (It's not my mother-tongue).
I was looking for information on the web, but have not received answers to some questions and I would like to get some of your help, please:
I have a Samsung Tab 3 10.1" (model 5210) tablet and a Sharp TV (not a smartTV) with USB and HDMI inputs.
I would like to watch movies I downloaded to my tablet - on the TV screen and looking for a good way to do it (preferably wireless). I need a way to mirror my tablet on TV, to be specific.
1. Is there any possibility at all? If so:
2. Does ChromeCast doing the work? (Again, we're discussing about downloaded video files from the web, not watching YouTube and similar)
3. If ChromeCast can't do it, is there a wireless device that does this? I heard about "EZcast", what do you think about it? I'd be happy to have your recommendation.
4. If there's no wireless option -what kind of cable will I have to connect the the TV?
5. Other things that I should know? (Video-Audio sync... etc)
Thanks in advance,
PT
I know the Tab 3 8.0" has a screen mirroring function included, but perhaps the P5210 does not.
What version of Android are you running? Is it the stock 4.2 Jelly Bean? I've read that Mircast needs 4.4 and up, and Chromecast needs 4.4.2 and up. Also, I'm unsure if AllShare Cast/Samsung Link is an option for you...
Have you tried the Galaxy HDMI adapter from Samsung's website? Item ET-H10FAUWEGUJ
I have a chromecast and use an app called localcast to play my downloaded videos to my tv. Works really good, pause, play and volume control from device. Though it is not true screen mirroring as the video does not play simultaneously on tablet and tv, it just sends the video to the tv. Hope this helps.
Hello All,
Apologies for asking it here but it is in a way related to OP3 as well. So i will buy a new LCD TV next week probably. And chromecast seems like a great gadget to have. So, my queries are to people who already own chromecast and OP3/Laptop.
1. Would i need internet connection to stream offline content like my videos and tv shows downloaded or it can't stream those?
2. Will it stream just the video or both Audio/Video to the LCD? I am asking this cause i would want to listen the audio through the headphones but the video via chromecast streaming. Is it possible? (You know why i need these "private" moments sometimes, lol)
3. Does it only work with specific applications + Chrome Browser or can i stream a file playing on VLC player to the LCD as well?
