1. is it possible to connect your phone (like usb mass storage) to your computer via wi-fi through my network? if so, how? i can sort of get streaming to work through allshare and windows media player but i can not move files , only stream.
2. i have not used samsung media hub yet because i dont want to sit there and watch a movie on a 4" screen. so my question here is , if you rent a movie on the media hub, can it be played on a computer either by usb or streaming?
to help answer these questions, heres my set up:
phone: sprint ( usa) samsung epic. no mods have been done to my phone, everything is factory.
PC: quadcore cpu , geforce gtx 275, 4gb ram, running windows 7 64bit. my pc is hooked up to a westinghouse 47" 1080p monitor.
Search for "xda samba android" in google. Should be like the first link.
I use Websharing and WiFi File Explorer. Look them up.
those apps you mentioned work great for photos ive taken or videos ive recorded, however it does not work with media hub. i tried streaming and it will not find the movie on my device , i hooked my phone up directly to my pc and the movie file is not supported by windows. so im still looking for a way to watch media hub files on my computer. any suggestions?
Nope..Media Hub has the DRM :/...and All share is not compatible..so that ends that.

I've used orb and its pretty amazing, but I want to take this a step further.
Orb allows you do download and play music files that are stored on your pc's hard drive.
What i want to know is if there's a way to stream whatever audio is being played on your pc at any time to the mogul.
Basically what i want to do is set up my napster account to just continuously download and play random songs from their radio feature on my home computer and have my pda pick up the audio that is coming out.
Does anyone know how to just stream all sounds that are being outputted from the base machine to the mogul?
Thanks
Figured it out.
Windows Media Encoder to the rescue!
God damn i love technology.
...well? Can you share how you did it with the rest of us? I have a Napster subscription as well, and since the Sprint Mogul doesn't support Napster at this time, I'd love to figure out how to listen to Napster on my mobile, even if I have to leave it running on my home computer.

I used windows media encoder and virtual audio cable. Virtual audio cable basically emulates an audio cable going from your computer line out into your computer line in or mic in so that there is no loss in quality. I then used windows media encoder to broadcast a stream based on whatever was coming into the mic in.
With virtual audio cable, anything audio that I play is automatically fed into windows media encoder and then broadcast as a stream that i can pick up using windows media player or core player on my titan (now touch).
Basically it goes: whatever is playing -> virtual audio cable loopback -> windows media encoder stream broadcast -> mogul/touch
Using remote desktop, I can go in and change napster stations and playlists, and so on. Better than xm or any of those because i get full access to all of napsters content.
No more sd card for me hah.
I have a 56" Samsung DLP HDTV HL56A650.
I know the TV has wiselink but I am pretty sure not wiselink+.
I have hooked my phone into the wiselink usb slot and successfully viewed pictures and music that is stored on the phone. As far as I can tell right now, it will not play .mkv videos, but does support x264.
I also can't seem to find out how to hook my TV up to the Ethernet which leads me to believe I don't have the + with my wiselink.
Anyone else have a Samsung TV that they can do this on?
Maybe wrong forum? This is not a TV help forum.
Yeah, wiselink has nothing to do with the phone... it just uses the SD card as mass storage.
Wireless DLNA is what the SGS is all about..
i believe Kies has video convertor for the .mkv files
I have a Samsung LN46A950. I have it plugged into my network via ethernet, and when I start the DLNA server on my Vibrant it shows up as a server on my TV. I'm able to view pictures and the Avatar trailer this way, but I can't play video. Apparently my TV doesn't support the correct CODEC to play Vibrant's video files.
It's a non-issue for me since I have an HTPC connected to my home theater that can obviously handle any format. I still kinda wish my TV could play the files, though, just because it'd be cool.
Thanks dex. Thats the kinda resoonse I was lookin for. I dont particularly need help with my tv, was just interested in seeing if anyone else has had success with playing videos from their vibrant to their samsung tv.

Hi,
I was wondering if it is possible to share media from my I9000 with my windows Vista desktop (connected via LAN)?
When I tried scanning from my phone it could not find any device. I think this maybe because perhaps a wired connection cannot be connected to DLNA? Could someone let me know if there is some way to do this?
TIA
Dear friend
You can access to your mobile files and folders via Wireless lan with WEBSHARING software.
Also I am interested to know how can I share my files in my PC with My Galaxy S
Actually I am looking for streaming not just file sharing.
Is there any way to get this within Windows itself?
make sure your phone is connected via wifi in the same network with any device that runs a DLNA compatible player (such as Windows Media Player) then run "allshare" and you will see the name of the computer(s) with the player...
I hope this helped.
it doesnt work for me. my computer is connected via a cable , while my mobile phone connects wireless to the same router..
Doesn't work for me either. In the Media Player "media sharing" I am unable to see the Galaxy S.
i just tried. it's working on my windows 7 32bit.
running the latest Wmedia Player. which i believe is 11?
streaming media FROM my phone, streaming media TO my phone.
i'm using JPY from samfirmware.
oh yea i'm connected to WIFI on both my laptop and my phone.
It doesn't matter how your pc is connected to your network (wifi or cable). You should "see" the computer that runs DLNA player via allshare and choose it. After that, your computer sees the gallery of your phone and is able to browse and play media from it.
Edit: Galaxy S shows up in the media player's library
The GNote is dlna compliant is it not?
So I'm wondering why when I connect to my dlna samsung tv, the only drive I can see browsing via the tv is the 2.8 gb phone root.
I have no access to the 11gb extended phone memory or the sd card.
Has anyone managed to connect to their dlna tv and access all their memory locations?
And if so can you please explain how you did it?
Heres hoping.
I'm bumping this topic back to the front page to keep it current.
I was honestly expecting to find all the phones drives by simply connecting to my dlna tv with usb.
This is such a handy feature of dlna that I feel it must be do'able with the GNote, what with it being dlna certified, that I can't help but feel that it must be something that I am not doing or doing wrong.
I could browse and play all the media files, including the sd card on my old HD2 through my tv simply by attaching the phone to the tv via a usb cable.
I cant however with the sammy.
Here is hoping that some Guru can pin this down.
Regards.
DLNA is wireless media streaming there is no USB connection involved

What no direct cable connection? I clearly need to brush up on my wifi.
Was looking for the functionality of simply plugging my device into the tv then accessing the memory of the phone and playing the media while charging the unit. Seems to me that there is a trick there that's been missed.
Dank U wel for your response wonderwout, I'll investigate this further.
Regards.

For getting media on your tv quick Allshare over wifi is pretty good. Start a media file on your phone when in the player hit "share" from the menu and select Allshare. It will ask you to select a target device, select your tv and your set. You need to have it all on same network off course.
can anyone post dlna.apk from stock rom, please?

Yes sir, you are right DLNA isnt wifi specific though. DLNA only means media over network, be it cable or wireless doent matter. But it doesnt cover usb/mass storage mode file access.
But plugging in the note and chosing to allow usb access should put up two drives, one being the internal 16gig flash memory and a second one representing the sd card. I reckon your TV is not able to access two drives and instead just mounts the first one available with no way to switch.
If possible, update TV firmware and also, if possible, use DLNA. The TV needs network cspabilities for thst to work though...

When I connect my note to my PS3 using ALL SHARE, I am able to see the note on the PS3 menu. I am even able to play videos on the PS3 wirelessly. But I am not able to see the PS3 on the ALL SHARE app in the note. All it shows is No Device.
What am I doing wrong?

I think that PS3 is only a dlna client and not a server.
Hi guys,
i'm currently quite confused. My TV has a USB port that I can playback videos stored on a memory stick. This also worked with videos stored on micro sd card in my HTC Sensation when I plug the phone into my TV via USB.
However, when I plug in my Nexus 7, it can't find anything.
I tried it on a Sony N100 media player. Again nothing.
I then tried it on a WDTV Live. Again nothing.
I then plugged it into my laptop, went into the folder on my Nexus 7 where i store my movies, and clicked to play it on my laptop.
Instead of playing it, it began to copy the video file to somewhere on my laptop.
What is going on here? Is there anyway to get it to playback via USB connection onto a TV?
My Nexus 7 is unrooted, and am hoping for some kind of work around.
Whilst I primarily bought the tablet to watch programs on the train whilst commuting, I also wanted to be able to load some videos on it, take it to a friend's and play it back on their tv.
As it always worked fine on my android phone, I just assumed it would work on the Nexus 7.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
thanks!

The Nexus 7 isn't a UMS device. Which means that when you plug it into something, it DOESN'T look like a USB flash drive (no FAT/FAT32/whatever filesystem). In order to access files on it, you'd need a host device that supports MTP (or PTP). Windows has this support built in, but I imagine most devices that don't run windows are lacking that ability. My MacBook won't even read files off of my N7 without "Android File Transfer" (and there's no MacFUSE driver available).

I take it that even rooting the N7 wouldn't help here then?

I remember seeing an advanced option in some CM9/10 builds on my Nexus S to enable UMS, but I can't comment as to whether that feature exists/works on the N7. I'm (shock!) running unrooted stock.
