DLNA issues

I have a PS3 and Apple TV. So far, I have been unable to get the built-in DLNA on my One X to see either. I installed iMediashare, which has always worked on my other android phones and it doesn't seem to work correctly.
At this point, I can't seem to push any media from my phone to other devices.
Anyone know of an app that works, or am I doing something wrong?
Update: I have tried pretty much every DNLA app on the Play Store and none of them work. Most of them lock up my wifi and I have to reset the connection to get internet working again. WTF? Why do the simplest things (voice dialing, DNLA, multitasking) not work on this phone?

Just tested iMediashare on my One X and it is working just fine. So it shoud work...

Yeah, I got an e-mail from the Developer. Turns out, it was something wrong with their servers. It's odd, because my Nexus was working fine at the time the One X wasn't. It's working fine for me now, too.

you have custom or stock rom, what is it?
mine work fine, I play it every day

Don't know if any asker still needs this, but here goes. I was also quite stumped as to how to stream media from HOX to PS3.
After quite extensive searching high and low on the interjacks, I come to these conclusions/solutions:
1. HTC purposely make it difficult/impossible to simply share media with DLNA clients JUST TO SELL their MediaLink HD.
2. For those who wants to stream their media (videos/pics/music), especially to Playstation 3 (PS3 - [for search engines]) simply download the free SKIFTA from Google Play. Instructions are straight forward, I was playing silly videos and HD trailers off my phone in no time.
Press that little thanks button if this has been helpful Thanks.

Found this thread through a search.
How is browsing other devices' content via DNLA done on the One X?
Mine is stock, S720E, CID_001 running Android 4.0.4.
From the gallery, whether viewing a picture or a movie, More > Select player shows my TV (connected to the same SSID as the One X). Hit it and it the content on my TV screen.
However from the TV, I am unable to browse the One X, like I am able to browse my SIII (GT_I9300).
Could anyone help please?

Miracast to Sony TV ?

Hello Everyone,
I was wondering if anyone has been able to screen mirror via miracast their Tab S to a non Samsung TV without using a dongle (to a miracast capable TV)?
Thank you for taking the time to look and especially if you can help!
-T

Yes,
I was able to connect my Tab S 10.5, 32GB version to a Sony KDL-65W850A television without any dongles, or problems at all.

You bet! All I had to do was turn on the screen mirroring by pushing the "screen mirroring button" located in the drop down menu(the toolbar that shows up when you pull down the notification bar, sorry, I can't think of the actual name of the menu right now). Then go to your TV and go to the input menu and scroll over to the right and you should see an input for a wireless device, or something to that effect. Click on that input and it will start searching for your tablet. The first time I had to restart the scan from my tablet because the television didn't find it. Almost instantly after restarting the scan from my tablet, the television found it. I'm not by my TV now, but if I remember correctly, the very first time you try to connect a new device, the TV comes up with a list of devices and you have to click on the tablet. After the TV has successfully connected with a device, all that needs to be done next time is simply turn your mirroring on, and click the wireless device input on your TV, and it will connect without having to choose your device from a list. That's all I had to do. Good luck!

Sounds good! I have a w905, so hopefully it works as well as for you. Thanks for the help!

Just got my Samsung Tab S 10.5 last night. Have a Sony KDL-55HX800 tv.
I followed your instructions above, but my tv is not detected by the tablet.
Both the tablet and tv are on the same network.
Is my tv too old?
Any help, greatly appreciated.

Hello,
I did a little checking around for you. From what I read on Sony's website, it looks to me like a USB adapter is required for a wireless network connection. The adapter is a UWA-BR100, but after doing some research on the adapter, it looks like it won't work for miracast. Now, I couldn't find it on Sony's website, but several people made the comment that the adapter specifications state that it does support miracast, although nobody seemed to have been able to get it working. It may be possible to wirelessly stream through the adapter, but I wasn't able to find anybody that had been successful. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

I have a Chromecast, and am hoping the Tab S gets the update for screen mirroring that way. Just thought I might be able to do it before the update.

HTC One M8 - Screen Mirroring without ChromeCast

HI, I hope someone can help me with connecting my HTC One M8 to the Toshiba Smart TV using MIRACAST/WIFI Direct.
To clarify:
I dont want to use HTC Media Link Accessory.
I also dont want to use Chromecast Dongle Accessory.
My HTC One M8 is with KitKat 4.4.2, sense 6 Stock. I believe any android 4.4 onwards is MIRACAST/WIFI DIRECT enabled. My Toshiba TV is also wifi-direct/miracast enabled.
The phone finds my TV as a miracast enabled after scanning through MEDIA OUTPUT option. When I press connect, the TV screen screen shows a pin to use which I put into my phone request box and then after a few seconds, the phone displays " UNABLE TO CONNECT TO TOSHIBA TV "......
It is driving me crazy. I have trie dit many times, reboots etc. but same result all the times. I have successfully connected my previous samsung galaxy note 3 to the same tv using exactly the same process and worked like a treat for screen mirroring.
Is it something wrong with HTC M8? I heard that there is some problem with Sense 6 ?
Anybody please help ??? Appreciate it in advance

Screen mirroring to Apple TV device?

Hope this is the correct location for this thread for this, I apologize if it isn't.
I am trying to connect to an apple TV device (to display my tablet on a projector wirelessly) and all the apps I have found only allow me to show videos, pictures or music. I would like to have it mirror my screen. I tried the mirror screen button and I can't get it to recognize the apple TV device.
Is this function not available for android users (my friend with an Ipad can quickly and easily connect to it and it shows his desktop and his browser when accesses the internet) or do I need to be rooted or is there a specific app that I"ve overlooked?
Thank you so much.

I went through this path before and let me tell you...It's not worth the trouble try to mirror your phone to your Apple TV. I found a really solution is to get an Android TV box (just like your phone) and plug directly to your TV and you have Android device on your TV. The device is very compact (as small as a usb stick) but running Android 4.4 quad core and what ever you can do with your phone, you could do the same with TV box. You also could use your phone/tablet/wireless keyboard or wireless mouse to control the Android TV box. So you don't need to use your phone to stream/mirror any more because your TV is now your phone...basically...or you could download apps (many to choose from) from playstore to stream video/pictures from your phone to TV if you still wish to do so.

Thanks for the reply, however I'm not attempting to connect to my TV or my personal projector so I can't install my own device to it.
Is there a thread already discussing this out there? I couldn't find one.
Are there any other options?
Thank you

Is your Apple TV connected to your projector?

Maybe you don't understand what's Android TV box, it's exactly like your Apple TV, but it's running Android 4.4 O/S which is exactly like your cell phone and it comes in 2 different size. First size is small like Rogu or Apple TV, second size is as small as an USB stick. The biggest different is it acts just like your phone. It plugged directly to your projector. So when you turn on the TV box you will see Android on the screen with youtube, browser, Facebook, Gmail, hotmail,contacts, calendar, map, gps, google drive cloud storage etc...it can connect through your home wifi or direct ethernet. Search youtube for "Android TV box" once you have this, you will cut Netflix, Hulu plus, Amazon prime, because it will provide you with the LATEST movies/TV show in HD quality for free. So at the end you don't need your phone anymore to push content to your projector, the Android TV box can do exactly what your phone can do, but you also have option to push content from your phone to the TV box in order to display on your projector too...as a bonus. You also can use your phone/tablet to control this box if you don't want to use its remote. In short, its like you connect your phone directly to the projector but you still have your real phone to make calls.

You were right, I didn't know what an android box was. Thank you.
With that said I still don't if that will work for me. The projector is not my personal item and the apple tv is not mine either, they are used by many of us. If ipads and iphones can't connect to it then your solution (as good as it is) won't fix my problem.
Will the device connect to ipads/iphones?

[Q] Chromecast Partially Working

Hi, Has anyone been able to get Chromecast to work with our M9?...Please let me know if there is a hidden setting to turn it on or something else. I am able to connect to all my devices but my Chromecast and my Nvidia Shield tablet connects ok with it so the device is working.
Thanks.
Chingonazo

Works fine on my M9, no special setup required.
I had it paired with an HTC One X. Got the M9 and downloaded the Chromecast app, launched and it found it and connected fine and casts with no issues.
Maybe try clearing data and cache in the app defaults or a factory reset on the Chromecast itself?

Hi ZombieSuffer, I appreciate the suggestion, I did that but still no go, Just so I am clear what my issue is, I can cast individual apps but I am not able to mirror the entire phone like I can do with my M7 or Shield tablet. I Also tested it with my Roku 3 player and same problem.
Thanks
Chingonazo

Oh, I see. Not sure if this helps but I found a thread around 9 months old that might have some steps you can run through to get it to mirror.
