So i bought this tv today, and in every review it says it has DLNA, but my SGS II cant find my tv in allshare. If you gotta do something with the monitor to turn it on somewhere, i cant find it anywhere. Need quick help please. Thanks.

Are they both connected to your home wifi network?
If the TV has DLNA make sure its connected to the router via a Ethernet Cable.
If it has Wifi make sure its using the same access point as your Galaxy S2.
Didnt know it has to be connected to my router. Ill test soon with an ethernet cable. THANKS GUYS!
EDIT: Didnt find any Ethernet inputs, but in the user manual it shows a picture that looks like it has wireless connection, but i cant find out how to connect to the router. :/

Are you serious?
It would be better to just buy a NEW wireless router than all that adapter stuff

Doubt it would be possible since wouldn't there need to be drivers for the adapter built into Android?

I think that's a fair question, some hotels don't have wireless internet in the rooms just the lobby

I wanted to know because some places in European hotels don't have wifi but they have Ethernert cables... I really hoped it would work

why all the disbelief?
The G-tab has a dock available with an Ethernet port, and it is functional. However people have also tried a usb to ethernet adapter and that didn't go as well thread
If you get a dev who sees a demand or needs this personally for some reason then I wouldn't be surprised if it gets made.
we use ethernet-to-usb dongles at my work when we don't yet have wifi working on our tablets. I don't work at motorola, so I can't say anything about the xoom in particular, but I don't think we made any modifications to our tablets to get this to work. So, in other words, yes. It should work.
It is a fair question but unfortunately the answer is maybe for a custom ROM but probably not for stock. The problem, as mentioned earlier, is that support would need to be built into the kernel and it is not something most people would need with the xoom. The main reason I can think of would be to sniff a wired network for troubleshooting and such.
My suggestion would be to pick up one of the ultraportable waps like the d-link dap 1350. (Not an endorsement, just a likely suspect that came up in a Google for portable wireless access point.)

Since you'd have to carry the dongle with you anyway, it may be a good bit easier to pick up a portable wireless router. They make them VERY small and it would (in theory) sove the problem without tying you to a cable.

I would use this, it would be great if motorola put that into their docks
Trying to get my phone connected to my a500 via USB cable. The nexus1 recognizes that it is connected and i can turn on USB storage, but the a500 doesnt seem to see the phone at all (nothing shows up in /mnt/usb_storage).
anyone have any luck doing this?
I tried that, no luck.
Also not having luck with my EVO, if anybody can get this working would love to know.
Same problem with my nexus s. USB storage and teathering and storage don't work so I'm forced to wifi teather. Would love to be able to charge my phone and share 3g with my tab.

I have an Acer iconia a500, a rca television, and a micro hdmi cable. After many failures i took my iconia to bestbuy, where they successfully connected my tablet to a lg tv with full mirroring. My tv's hdmi input is working properly, (tested by a xbox connected with an hdmi cable). After conencting the cable from my iconia to the rca tv the message unusable signal remains on the screen. Whats the problem?
Thanks for your help!
I'm gonna take a wild guess here and say that the RCA unit didn't support the a500 native resolution. I wonder if there is a build.prop resolution hack for this.
Are you rommed and rooted?

Did the bestbuy guys used your cable? Try different cable or your original cable to another tv.

Yes that's what is suggested from vendors.

rca and nvidia
This is going to sound stupid.but I had a 42 inch RCA LCD TV.when i would try to connect my nvidia graphics laptop to the TV same issue.even tried a desktop.using the VGA port.would not work.I added a old sis.video adaptor to the computer.it connected right away.there was a web site I found back then about this.
I still do not understand why it was such a issue.but you are having the same as I had forget about it.I did send a report to nvidia and RCA.but no response.
My tab connects to both my TVs now I gave the RCA to my mother and got a Sanyo.its a OK 47 inch.my other is a 40 inch Samsung led and it Rocks can connect anything play videos on the tab to TV across wifi.as well as HDMI my tab will also use a Samsung wifi remote app to control the TV.
Sorry for your luck if you figure it out I would love to know what I was doing wrong.
Thanks good luck erica

Thanks. .I have one of those that I used with the Og Evo!!! It's nor working with this phone. Is there any differences between mhl adaptes or r they all the Same? ?
Sent from my SPH-L720 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Yup u need the one designated for the s4. I sent u that link as an example of what they are. Personally I would get it from samsung. I've bought 3 that said they work with s4 and they didnt. I have a friend who got the one from Samsung and his works fine.
Sent from my SPH-L720 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
a lot of them DO work with the S4 still that are "older" mhl adapters, but you also need the 5 to 11 pin adapter for those to work like this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0089...qid=1388224095&sr=8-10&pi=AC_SX110_SY165_QL70
Otherwise, just get one line what was noted a couple of posts up, as it's already utilizing the 11pins and saves you the trouble. (make sure you're getting a legit one & check the reviews!)
Alternately, you can get the allshare cast hub (by Samsung) which also mirrors via hdmi.
It is also possible without an mhl dongle or allshare cast hub to push things (pics, movies & youtube) directly if you have tv/home theater/blu ray that's dlna enabled to push to.
I've done it from the older mhl w/ 11 pin adapter, newer 11 pin, allshare hub & by dlna enabled device without issue. I mainly use the latter nowawdays, but still use the other methods on occasion because of the screen mirroring.
As a side note, both mhl adapters are OEM.
Its sad I didn't know this thing had HDMI out capabilities
How do i share my wifi connection from my note 3 to my laptop? when i try apps, it just disables the wifi, thus defeating the whole sharing process. can anyone help?
Your 4G internet is shared using wifi. you cannot use wifi for both.

If this physically works out for you, place the laptop within range of the router and host your laptop as a wireless access point/wifi via ICS(internet connection sharing) within Windows to your Android phone
So it would be like Router ---> Laptop ---> Android piggybacked where the phone is the one not in range of the Wifi
Another option is to upgrade your router/laptop to a longer range. If you're on N, upgrade to Ac if your wallet allows it
or just buy a Wifi range extender.
seems a bit sublime to be trying to use a mobile device which is likely to move all over the place as a range extender - when the problem that needs to be solved involves distance & orientation relative to fixed stations.
