Hello,
I am planning to buy SGS2 OR Galaxy Note and was wondering if it can play 1080P/720P full length movies on it... All my movies are around 5-7GB in size.
Also, will there be a problem playing frm internal memory as it wont support anything greater than 2GB?
Plz post your expereince for "playing Big Files"
i have played 10 gb blue ray rips(full hd), via wifi streaming and it played like charm. Didnt tried copying things to phone memory, as you said the file system wont support larger files, but you can try formatting your card to ntfs or exfat with suitable mods, if you want to use those bigger files
The CPU/GPU cannot be beat by anything in the market for playing hidef movies. No matter the format or bitrate I can't find a file this phone can't play, and most of my downloads are 1080p high profile from my media center PC. BUT if you use fat 32 (default) you'll be limited to 4gb per file. Maybe use ntfs (search here)?

From the above, i see tht the phone can play big files with no problem and i just have to format my Sd card to NTFS... But wht about internal Memory? can it be formatted to NTFS - If yes, its simple OR i have to hack sumthing ??

For it to support NTFS, you need root and do some trickery. It is not straightforward.

Frm wht i understand i have to buy a "USB Wifi-Adapter" and plug it into my windows PC, and pair it simply with my phone and i can play all files on my PC on my phone, Am i understanding right?
Also, i am using wired internet on my PC, this way will i be able to use my wired internet on my phone as well thru Wifi ?
If i can manage the above with just an adapter, then whts the use of Wifi Router? Pardon My ignorance...

A wifi router is simply enough to do the task. Yout pc dont need a usb wifi adapter.
All the data are transmitted from your pc to mobile via wifi router.
Once you have a wifi router on your pc to transmit data, you can try the following apps to play the movies from your pc to mobile.
1.VLC direct.
2.ES File Explorer.
The later one is much efficient
Hmmm... Wifi Router is big and pricey.
So, i think if work can be done with a portable USB Wifi adapter why to see anything else?
Plz can u do lil more explaining, as i really suck at this part of wireless technology and why i cant just use adapter?
@craige
Wifi router is not that much expensive, you can get one from belkin or netgear for cheap rates.
1.Once you install your wifi router in your pc, the work is pretty much done.
2.Connect your phone to your wifi.
3.Installed the above mentioned softwares.
4.Configure it and start watching movie from anywhere within your wifi range.
USB WiFi adapter will most likely only allow PC to connect to WIFI network. But you need a router or WiFi access point to host your wifi network. WiFi is not like Bluetooth where you connect one device directly to another.
So cheapest option might be wireless router or access point. It all depends on your network configuration at home, like what other devices you have and is there an empty Ethernet port on your main internet box (broadband modem).
Why not watch the movie on your nice big monitor? Or better yet, stream to a massive tv rather than a 4.3" screen. I can't see why I'd need this in my own home...

Installed ES File Explorer and now I can browse all the shared folders in my PC over WiFi but I can't seem to play MKV files. Do I need to install a different player app in the phone or should ES File Explorer do it?
Install MX Player, that should help.

Just about to say the same....
How do you guys stream 1080p mkv's smoothly, I just bought a TP-link WR1043ND 300 Mbps N router and on my phone it says I'm connected at 65mbps. I stream SD movies from my pc to my phone fine but HD movies stutter.
P.S. using ES File Explorer and Dice player
Hi
I have an HTC Evo 4g that allows me to wireless play content on my dlna tv with HTC Media Share.
Tried everything with clear.fi and media server on the acer but cannot get it working.
On latest stock 3.2.1 rooted.
Anyone managed ?
I have had no problems using Clear Fi
tv Wired or wireless or behind a switch
It works as well on my tv /xbox that is wireless.. We have a very large home network in the house.. well beyond the 4 ports of the Netgear router.So the tvs in bedrooms that are wired network. Are behind a switch..(network hub) sometimes i have to reset the router to get one of them to see the tablet or the windows media center from my server pc.. its a Sanyo 47 inch lcd tv. my samsung Tv howerver on the same switch Works awesome with no setup or frustrations..
We use this feature very often.. I think its a problem with the sanyo. but cant say for sure because there is no place i have found to see the network settings .. they are all automatic and cant see or adjust ..
cheap built lame but costly tv...
HI guys,
I just wanna know, how can i connect my device to tv?
Is there wired connection? what about wireless connection?
What are the things i need?
For example, my tv is Samsung LED Series 5?
What are the things i can do after connecting:
- can i access my device as a storage device?
- can i play a movie to my device and have it displayed in my tv?
Thanks in advance
With the app Mediahouse (pro) you can stream movies from your tablet to you tv (netwerk).
you can choose to stream content to your tablet of from your tablet to your tv (if i'm correct)
New or old n7? This is easily found anywhere online. Old n7 can't mirror it's screen to the TV except with a mod for miracast (this mod is new). This mod doesn't work on 4.3 yet and requires supported hardware on the TV too.
What does work is dnla or upnp, which sends local media to the TV - movies, music, photos that are stored locally not streamed. Many apps support this and lots of hardware does too.
New n7, you can use slim port cable to mirror the screen

I have the old one, there is no something like adapter, converter, cable that can connect the device to the tv? i cant seem to find any on mr. google, and yeah i saw that the new nexus 7 is capable of that, thanks
Chromecast may solve your problem if you can get your hands on one.

you cant do that! your tv doesnt have the drivers to support the wireless lan adaptor... also your wireless Lan adaptor doesnt have some video output like miracast... so... your only option is to buy a chromecast or somenthing like that. :good:

You can do it.
first: after mounting the WIS12ABGNX Wireless Lan Adaptor to your tivi, you set Lan connection for it
then you turn on : Nearby Devices (In the setting) from your note and you samsung tivi requests to connect to your phone
then you play a video, and press the "Screen Mirroring" button on the stock video player
then you see 2 options, choose your tivi, and enjoy
Hello everyone , my name is Siddharth. I am new to this forum.
I was wondering if I could use Screen Mirroring feature on my Note 3 (SM-N900 , Exynos International model) to stream media wirelessly to a Sony Bravia 42-inch TV (Model: KL V-40S200A) with the help of a Tenda USB WiFi adapter (Model No. W311M).
The TV was brought in February 2008 so it's definitely not a Smart TV or has built-in WiFi. The dongle and was bought in August 2013 to the best of my memory.
It would really help if I could watch photos & videos shot from my phone without connecting those ugly two port MHL or even HDMI cables.
Hi there,
im no expert in these things, tho what I understood is there is no cable possibility to screen my yoga 2 on an external monitor cause of the lack of mhl.
I tried to figure out what this chromecast is about, but I guess screening sheets and calculations in the office might not be appropriate for this donglethingy. As well I dont feel like harressing the adminguy with including the chromecast in the company's local network.
Is there any possibility to work with my yoga 2 on a big screen here and then? Any workarounds or even mhl?
Regards

I use a Google Nexus player, rooted with a Lollipop AOSP ROM. It's connected to the TV through HDMI.
My Yoga 2 is running the LL release. I use the Cast Screen function which finds the Nexus Player, sending the Yoga's display to the TV. It's real-time enough that none of the games or streamed media ever lagged.
With Chromecast, check the Google Play store. There are some apps designed to cast an Android device over the uPNP/DLNA type of connection that Chromecast likes.
For clarification, make sure both devices are on the same wifi router (and on the same frequency if you're using a dual-radio access point).
