Q-M8 features - One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am wanting to buy this phone. I need to know if this phone is capable of streaming from the phone to my smart tv. For instance music and movies through an app already on htc? I can do this on sony and samsung just wondering if htc can do it. Thank you your answers will make me get it tonight. :laugh:
edit: while of course on wifi on the same network.

I'm streaming to my Xbox one right now using the stock gallery app. Can't see any issues doing it to a tv......

Hi all, does anyone know of an application that can control my samsung tv? There is an app on the ipod that can do it, but I haven't found anything similar on the desire, it runs through the wifi if that's any help(its a 2010)Internet tv.

Close but no cigar, thanks anyway! I will keep on searching, I am surprised samsung haven't done one for android, as they make android phones although they have released on one on ipod/iphone!

[Q] Video Out?

Is it possible to have video out? So I could either Wired or Wirelessly send my phone display to my TV/PC Monitor/Display etc?
I'm going to guess this is a no but would be something I would love to be able to do!
I would like to know to I sold my EVO and then a few weeks later I got a huge flat screen lol sucks right. But I got the g2 and still would like to get something now but not sure if its possible.

you can stream wirelessly via DLNA with the Vision. check Twonky out on the market.
whatever you're streaming to must be DLNA compliant, if it needed saying.
Ill take a look at it! Thank you

I tried to look that app up in the market and all I get is some bubble app that's has something to do with linn and ds stuff but it only mentions twonka as a weblink or something is there a direct sit that we could go to maybe to see what its about?

Here you go.
also, if you want a nice resource on how to use DLNA, their website is pretty helpful at explaining what it is and how to use it.
I am not a twonky spokesperson, in fact I don't even use it anymore, but when I was doing DLNA streaming, it was my fav. there are others out there, just do some googling for android DLNA apps.
happy streaming!
Oh sweet thanks for the help about to look at the links right now

Is the DG H200 HDMI Adapter connectable with other Devices?

Hi Folks,
I´m thinking about getting a DG H200 HD for my HOX. But it would be fine if this can be connected with my Android Tablet as well. Does anybody know this or has some experiences with the DG H200?
I've got the media link hd, the bubble upnp app picks it up as a renderer, so using my 8" tablet I can send all my videos on my media server or tablet to my tv.
In other words the medialink is usable with other phones, tablets etc.
Edit... When it's all on the same network.

Are you able to turn the screen off and still do it?? That's the only thing that bothers me about this adapter...having to keep on screen whilst I stream.

Yes screen can be off, I've noticed it uses very little battery drain, I thinks it's because everything is loaded onto the network, and nothing directly through ur phone / tablet.
I only use the hd media link as advertised when on YouTube, the rest of the time it's used as a renderer using bubble upnp, as it runs a lot smoother.

Okey, i will give it a try. if you can really use this adapter with other Androids it is usefull. What about the Quality?
As for quality I'm not sure, I will check the settings on the upnp app when I'm home tonight and try and play some mkvs etc. Iv watched standard avis and they look fine.

It shows up as a DNLA device on pretty much every thing that's capable of transmitting via DNLA. Windows Media Center works as does Windows Media Player. My G-Tab 10.1 connects to it but there's some funkiness with video content being streamed I haven't had time to troubleshoot yet. You can also play music to it and it shows album, title, artist and cover art on the output device.
I had a play with it last nite, and found that not all avis work, most do but some don't, this was the same with mkvs.
Iv been told this is because of the limited amount of codec support the media link has. So be warned not every video will work.
These vids that didn't work on my tablet, I was still able to play using my one x and then connecting the to the media link as advertised, but this is because it is then playing through mxplayer and just being mirrored to my tv.

[Q] S4 Screen mirroring using a TV streamer?

I have a brand new panasonic TV streamer that does miracast and DLNA, and also a roku. I want to be able to mirror my S4 to one of those devices, but I cant seem to make it work. I know youre supposed to buy the samsung dongle but that seems like a waste of money. I CAN use an app called 'Beam' that will let me choose online videos from youtube, vimeo, or any other website and stream them to my panasonic TV streamer or roku. So I know the S4 can see and stream content to both devices, but I want to be able to stream my entire phone and not just videos. Does anyone have any idea of how I would be able to do this? I am rooted. I would VERY much appreciate any help.

Do you have it working? On which CM rom?
because I found a post from last month from a CM admin saying that it doesnt work on most samsung phones http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/...en-mirroring/page__hl__+mirroring#entry390601
But I obviously havent tried yet, so if you do have it working id love to know!

HTC one picture to TV

I was sitting in the bedroom last night watching the game and all of a sudden a prompt came up that said something about media device. I clicked ok and a picture of my daughter was on the screen. My fiancee came into the room with her S3 and was responsible for what was going on. Nothing additional is added for this to work with her device. Why didn't HTC add something as this to there Flagship device?

Anyone know of a way to accomplish the same task without the HTC media device?

I have used an app called "AllCast" from the play store to display photos & videos located on your phone on our Samsung smart TV.

Thanks. Tried it, choppy on videos. iMediashare works great. Found it on the play store.

Chrome cast for $35 is the universal fix. Portable and works on any HDMI tv

They probably didn't add it because they don't make TVs, which is why they have the media device

htc one can send pictures, videos and music to smart tv's. if your fiancee did it with her s3, you can probably do it to.
first, your tv and your phone have to be on the same network, so you can't use 4g on your phone. connect your phone to the wi-fi router that your tv is connected to.
second, open your gallery, click on a picture or video you want to show on your tv and click on a little "play" icon in top right corner of your phone. it will search for devices and if your tv is compatible it will be shown there. click on it and voila you can play your pictures or videos on your tv. you can do the same thing in music player.
also, depending on your rom, you can accomplish the same thing by sliding three fingers up on your screen.
note: I've noticed that it doesn't work for pictures or videos that are not on my device e.g. facebook pics and such. also my videos are choppy, but it could be my tv being not fully compatible.
