Wireless video out: possible?

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

Awesome! How cool is that? Am playing movies straight from my phone via the PS3 to the big screen with no cables. Magic.
Much appreciated. I shall now have to tour friends' houses to show off!

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.
Thanks guys

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.

Trick's done on Commercials (send video to TV)

I'm sure you've seen at least 1 commercial for the SGS3... and near the end they always show the person sharing or sending the video to a large screen tv or whatever.... how is that done? BE SPECIFIC .... Thanks

I may be mistaken, but i believe it's done either via AllShare Play app or via DLNA. (settings - more settings - Nearby devices). Your TV has to be DLNA enabled - that's a fact.

Wifi direct? Both have to have wifi

de.klox yes I believe its done via Allshare. Both devices need to have wifi and tv should be a "smart" tv.

Stream Phone on TV wirelessly

So i have a LG smart TV and of course GS3. Now i know DLNA will let u stream ur offline content to ur tv but how about streaming ur entire phone on TV. I mean if i could play netflix or some other movie app on my phone and stream it wirelessly on my TV. Is it possible?

Actually I have a LG 7600 and I am able to stream recorded videos (or movies I have uploaded from my pc) to my TV using the default video app and pictures using gallery through wifi direct and the wireless display feature on the LG. It is limited to those 2 apps as far as I know though. Is that similar to what you wanted to do?

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.

Samsung allshare cast dongle

I have htc media link hd but GE based roms don't run this device. I gone to samsung centre, tried allshere cast dongle and ok..... GE 4.3 Setting > screen > wireless display. I bought one and happy. (1080p is ok)
Sorry my English.

but before conection reset device everytime

I'm not familiar with this device, but doesn't the Google Chromecast have more potential?

I have a samsung galaxy s4 and am planning to buy the allshare wifi dongle/cast, but i have a doubt after reading reviews in the Amazon on this product. Can you/any one please confirm this: I have a home WiFi network, and I am planning to Browse internet, watch youtube on my phone after connecting to all share dongle. will it possible to do it? I heard that you have to enable wifi direct on your phone to connect to the dongle, doing so will disconnect my phone from Wi-Fi Home network ... is it Rit?

Difficult to say at this stage, whilst they are similar in concept, the execution is very different. Chromecast doesn't screen mirror, but does stream separately from your device. I have both, and have different uses for both.

I use AllShare Cast on my Galaxy Note 2 and 8 - yes, it does connect via WiFi Direct, but this doesn't mean you are disconnected from your home network. i.e. you can still browse the web, watch Netflix etc whilst screen mirroring via AllShare.

It does appear as a Miracast device to my Nexus 4, which detects, connects, and mirrors.
My HTC One detects it and I've had it connect and mirror for a few seconds, but haven't been able to connect again.

Not anymore, it doesn't.
Google just pushed an OTA that breaks any kind of local streaming capability except the PC Chrome > Cast one.
It's obvious that the Chrome cast was subsidized by big media companies, and they didn't like it when devs like Koush were able to stream straight from phone to TV. This would make piracy easier.
This is absolutely ret... dumb. The biggest reason I bought Chromcast was to stream my photos and videos. My CC has been sitting behind my TV collecting dust since the day I got. I tried out Allcast, it was great. Then this came along... I'm considering returning my CC.

Hello, anyone know if it´s possible to emulate the allshare cast dongle with a PC ??
i mean, that piece of hardware must use some software that can be inatalles as a program in a notebook and then the notebook connected to the TV.
Could this be done?
PD: chrome cast doesn´t mirror the games for example and samsung dongle yes

Hello everyone.
Am I able to connect my lg g3 to samsungs allshare cast dongle for mirroring and etc.?

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.
