I am trying to figure out the best way to watch TV on my phone. I tried going to Justin tv on the web browser but it is having problems. I was wondering how you guys watch sports (or whatever you watch on your phone)

Well idk about live t.v,

I have a dish network receiver with sling built in, so I just use the dish app to watch mine. Works for live or recorded tv and its no extra cost.

Pop-Up Video Help

I'm trying to watch a movie that I bought in the media hub and it isn't giving me the option to use pop up video. Why isn't it working? If works when I watch movies trailers but not for my downloaded content. I purchased the movies back 2 years ago when I had the infuse 4g but from what I've read that doesn't make any difference. Please help me. Thanks.

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.

Lg video player dual play???

Ok guys I've been searching for this answer for a long time to no avail. Hopefully someone can help.
I use miracast a lot to watch movies on my big screen. The LG video app has a function called dual play which allows the movie I'm watching to play on my tv while i can still do other things on my phone like surf xda without interrupting the movie playing. Does anyone know of any other video app that has this functionality i can use on aosp roms????

Guess not lol
