Is there a way or an app that will allow you to project your tablet screen to a tv? For work we need a TV that will allow us to project the tablet screen on it. We have yet to buy a TV yet and we currently have Galaxy S tablet as an option or the Moto Xoom as another option. Any suggestions? I've Googled for a solution and I've also looked through the market and haven't found anything. Being able to project wireless would be MUCH preferred.
Thanks!
You have the software on the tab already its called All share but you have to use a Samsung TV and that also has to have All Share on it.

I think he means an app that can do the same thing as the HDMI dock. The HDMI dock allows everything to be projected to the TV, not just media. In other words a mirroring app such as ones that exist for the Droid X and EVO but wireless. I would be interested in this find as well. Right now I use the HDMI dock which works quiet well but a wireless solution would be gold.
I use a $24 cable I bought from ebay. Then I project my screen through my video projector, but to a tv would be just as simple.

As has been said already, this only allows you to share media (eg video) rather than apps/homescreen etc.
However, Allshare is a DLNA client/server that works with any other DLNA device, not just Samsung TVs.

This cable is a nice and cheap alternative. However keep in mind that it won't charge your tab while it is in use while the HDMI dock does.
can we log in to internet via hdmi dock to TV?

Yup you sure can. If you have a bluetooth keyboard and mouse you can do anything from your couch if you wanted to. I recommend the Logitech dinovo mini or dinovo edge if you want this option.
I know this thread is kind of old but I want to ask...I want to do the samething wirelessly on my note 10.1 2014....now I don't have a smart TV but with chromecast is it possible? Also would chromecast have to be rooted? I don't want to be able to use some apps...I want to be able to see my TV the same exact way that I do while it is on the tablet

How about the usb cable? I am not sure about your tablet, but it should have a tv out option in the settings. I hope this helps.

Hi all, I was looking at my shift, and even though it says it doesn't have video-out capabilities I see that the charging port is micro-hdmi. Is it possible to buy a micro-hdmi to hdmi cable and watch netflix and stuff on my TV?
That's micro-USB, not micro-hdmi. You use it to connect to your PC or Mac.

There is that samsung media streamer that got posted on the portal awhile back. That would be the only way I think, and it would require you have a compatible samsung tv. Or you might be able to use one of those google tv devices to stream from your phone (was that one of the features? I forget)
I use imedia share to stream to my samsung tv. Can stream things already on your phone but not netflix.

Don't think it will work for Netflix , but it does work for the other stuff on your phone. You can give THIS a try, see if it works for you.
Hi,
I am curious about this allshare cast function. Does it mirror ur phone screen to the tv exactly ? Besides using the hub, can I mirror directly to the tv or onto galaxy s2 without getting the hub ? Thanks
Sent from my GT-N7105 using xda app-developers app
Hi pool,
yea it will mirror exactly whats on your phone to the tv. including games videos internet and all. As for the s2, im not sure. Maybe a microusb to usb thingy? Someone else can elaborate.

It is out of stock at the moment though...
wanted to use the 50% off coupon on it.
I see. So the hub itself is the only device which can mirror the phone onto the tv ? I cant use xbox ?
Was thinking if I can mirror to s2, since my s2 is connected via mhl to tv already. Then I don't need get hub

Hey there guys,
Just a quick one in case anyone doesn't know, but when setting up a remote on the TV app, on cable box, if you scroll down to Microsoft and use that option, it allows you to use your TV remote to control your Xbox!

Very cool!! Thanks for the heads up
Nice one, very good info. . . .
That's cool. Is it better than Smartglass?
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
Smart glass connects through WiFi and has deep integration in the Xbox. This simply allows you to power on/off your Xbox, navigate around and select stuff in Netflix etc. Perfect for me as I have an Xbox and tv in the bedroom which is mainly used for dvds and Netflix.
smartglass is different and has many more features, but having one remote to turn your tv and Xbox on is amazing.
Works a treat thanks don't even need to leave the šofa to turn on the Xbox now lolz

HTC must publish a website for IR so we can find updates and contributions for many devices like xbox360,DSLR,TVs...
I guess it works for Media Center receiver too?

I'll make a quick video showing you what I did if you like? Might just be in the wrong place?
For me its really useful because my xbox in the bedroom doesn't have a wireless controller and the tv remote is a bit knackered.
EDIT: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0pJcYKzO0Pk
Thanks dude. Was wondering if this was possible. Sadly I did buy a remote for my xbox last month! But now I've got my HTC One, don't need to leave the sofa now! (if the remote is out of reach!)

It's not in the TV list. Once you finish setting up the TV it'll take u into the Cable box list which is where Microsoft is listed

Fantastic, great tip! Hate wasting my controller's battery just for watching TV, and after a long programme having to connect the controller again before I can do anything. Thanks!
One the reasons I bought the Kindle was because of I believe it's called miracast where you can project your tablet onto your tv. What ever happened to it? Or is there something else I can do?

I forgot Android app Twonky works also, but I had problems Beaming Mythtv HD file to my SD tv. It worked otherwise.
AllCast is also an alternative if you have a roku or apple TV. I have tested it on both and movies play flawlessly. It also supports viewing pictures and streaming music.

PlayOn works with Xbox for streaming . http://www.playon.tv/supported-devices
The miracast adapters above are needed to do full second screen mirroring. Hopefully Roku will update their device soon to allow it as well.

Yeah, personally, I'd stay away from the "HDX Certified" Netgear Push2TV device. It is utter rubish. All kinds of resolution issues (you can fix with an app, but still, shouldn't have too) & the audio is marginal at best. I have an Onkyo TX5010-NR, which is one of the baddest receivers around (& I've tested/owned lots). Chromecast will support 5.1 Dolby & PCM, so will numerous other options, including SlimPort (I have an HDMI 1.4b certified SlimPort/MyDP dongle) which also works flawlessly in regards to audio, even up to 8 channels. The NetGear HDX Certified device though only outputs 2.0 PCM. It's watchable, but nowhere near as enjoyable as other devices.
So I'm intrigued with the miracast dongles but I don't want to spend a fortune on it. I was wondering if anyone has had any luck with them. Also hoping to not spend more than $40 on it. I'm running the Nexus 5 Experience which is CM11 and it seems to support it.
Any thoughts are greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Chromecast dongle. $35. Allcast from Koush and a Chromecast dongle. I can show pictures and movies from my phone.

From what I understand is that Chromecast won't let me mirror my phone to the TV which is what I'm looking for. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Allcast allows you to do just that. Also, I think there's an app called mirror also by Koush that allows you to stream that onto an apple tv

Could you please explain how to mirror your android phone to the TV like a miracast dongle would. I purchased a chromecast and so far I am unsuccessful in mirroring whatever is on my phone to the TV. I looked up the Koush beta and it only works for the NEXUS 5...
You can't mirror at this point. But you can play videos and music from your device and stream them to your TV. Koush working on mirroring for all devices.
You can also use Allcast to stream to any dnla device like Roku, XBox PS4.
