[Q] Can I use wireless display to get video on my computer - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
Is it possible to show the image of the nexus on my computer screen ?
My computer is Wifi-n capable.
If it is, does the software exist to do that ? I didn't find anything, maybe i'm using the wrong words...

Yes, u need to use a program like serviio http://www.serviio.org/ (there are more dlna media server out there.. just google free dlna server). This program uses DLNA. Install that on ur PC and make sure ur computer and phone is connected to the same network.
for more info go to

If u don't see DLNA on ur phone, u might need to DL an app that enable DLNA on ur Nexus 4 (imediashare is a good app)

Thans for you answer, but i am looking for a solution that displays the whole smartphone screen - not just a way to share multimedia content.
This is possible with miracast through a compatible TV, but i was wondering if software could make a computer do the same.

By DLNA, what it does is just show pictures, play musics and videos right?
what if I want to mirror whatever I do on the device? because I'm currently doing my final year project and was thinking of buying a Nexus 4 to use the Wireless Display feature (to my laptop which then connected to a VGA projector) for my presentation.

Tried it, it's VNC, not that fast but that should be sufficient. Thanks ^^ was really hoping for Nexus 4 Wireless Display to work on computers though, would make life somewhat easier for me XD

Anyone know if it's possible to use the WiDi in the phone to show its display on a WiDi compatible laptop? I know the laptop WiDi chip is designed to send the signal, but surely it can receive too?

I'm pretty sure itt can't. But I think it would probably be possible to do so with any computer with wifi n, and the right software. The question is, does that software exist ?

I believe all those solutions are more interested in using the PDA as a webcam. What I am interested in is using the PDA to monitor my room where my webcam is (coz thats where the baby sleeps). Is there anyway this can be done?
maybe a search like this

I had done that earlier, let me find out how did i do it?
Best i got...
So far the best , but not very elegant at all, solution I have is to use logmein. Not only does this go through the internet, which is something I am trying to avoid, but it also gives entire control of the pc, whereas I just want a quick stream over wifi of what the webcam is seeing.
Surely there must be someway to stream directly over the network?
Tried http://www.google.com.au/search?cli...+webcam+over+network&meta=&btnG=Google+Search or http://www.google.com.au/search?hl=...m+webcam+over+local+network&btnG=Search&meta=
try digi-watcher. works for me.

logitech used to have that feature to publish to a webpage and would update the picture at a user specified interval. don't know if they still do. i'm surprised orb didn't work. i would have tried logmin as well or a remote desktop client directly if your just at home with wifi. other thought is any webcam streamer that has it's own internet server. years ago i bought a security program cheap (under £10)
called supervision cam. it does time lapse capture or motion change capture and then would upload pics to a website or email to an address. it wouldn't be a stream as such but if you told it to not change the file name by adding a number and only use the same name every time then you could get a 1 to 3 frames per second update to a web page. then just compose the page to auto resfresh every few seconds. just don't do it from a mobile gprs connection unless your data plan has a huge inclusive
I cant believe it - all you need to do, is to put your keywords into google

Windows 7 and WM

Hello
I would like to stream music from my Win 7 pc to my Blackstone connected thru wifi to the same network.
The thing is i cant get my computer to 'find' my phone.
In the help section they talk about something called WPS.
I searched a bit and couldnt find anything really helpful.
if anyone can help
Thanks in advanced.

I dont know about streaming (im assuming you are trying to use WMP), however, you could accomplish this by using the Network Plugin:
http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-network-folder-plugin-v1-0.html
Then play them direct from the network, it works well for me.
streaming means connecting to a service and getting the music as it plays
lots of people confuse it with just having access to a shared dir on the computer
or even syncing in some cases
it helps searching if one is 100% clear on what the various terms really mean
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streaming_media
if you already knew this just ignore my post
Hello
Thanks you both for your responses.
Rudgear:Thats exactly what i am trying to do.
Windows 7 WMP has a built in streaming capability on what they call the home network.
i would like to know how to connect my Phone to the home network in order to use these feature.
I connect my phone using wifi on the same connection as the computer.

LOL, sorry i should have clarified, i know what streaming means, i was just meaning that I dont know about doing it with WMP
Also, is this actually possible with WMP from Windows 7, after all streaming has only recently been introduced at WIndows 7, does WMP in WM 6.1 have the client end of the streaming implemented?
An alternative is to use the Network plugin, effectively its streaming anyway because the data is only retrieved as its required, the whole file ISNT copied first, I use Core Player with the Network plugin to play movies on my Blackstone over the network all the time, so unless there is a specific reason for wanting to use WMP you can do it this way.

I tried this, but after it finds my PC and I set up the name and password, it shows it on the list, but nothing happens when I tap on it (or on the + sign). Am I doing something wrong? I've been looking for something like this.

Windows software on Android

Hello
I am trying to find a way to run some software I have for the pc on an android divice.
I would like to get some car diagnostic software to run which has to be connected to the car through usb to ODB2 port on the car.
Is there and emulator or some such software I can install on the android pad to get this running?
This would be so cool if I can get this running.
I found a stereo with an android 2.1 tab attached which is the screen for the stereo.
Anyway if anyone has any ideas then please let me know.
Thanks
Alex
Short answer: No.
Long answer: If it's DOS application, maybe. But I doubt it'll be able to access any of the device ports. If it's a Windows application, forget it.
Your best bet is to look for similar apps on Android. They DO exist... The market has several apps that read car diagnostics over bluetooth, some might also work over USB. There are bluetooth adaptors available for your ODB2 port.

Just a thought, could he run a linux distro on the A500 and use Wine (windows emulator) to run the application?

Citrix? You're kidding, right? Do you even know how Citrix works? It's essentially a kind of remote desktop. The applications don't run on your machine, they run on a server. A server which you have to pay up mucho cashola for and configure correctly.

And even if he had access to Citrix XenDesktop virtualized Windows I don't know if it would allow him to use car service software by connecting OBD2 interface to the tablet. Even if the port I/O could be forwareded to remote machine as a virtualized USB port the latency would make the OBD software very ustable.
Can't tell you about connecting it to the ODB2 port but as for x86 emulation on a arm device:

I mentioned it before, but didn't bother to post any links, not that the OP has bothered to reply, but anyway..
THIS is what he's looking for, with no silly emulation bullpoop.
https://play.google.com/store/search?q=odb2
That took all of 2 seconds to search for...
BTW it is NOT ODB2. It is OBD2 as in On-Board Diagnostics level 2 .
Bleh. The search still worked!
Torque works really well I use it to get codes and you can monitor real time info from all of the sensors attached to your ecu. You can also do data logging. If your trying to run tuning software( like hp tuner or ROMraider) you are prolly out of luck.
Whenever I need to use a windows app, I just use TeamViewer and remote into my PC. I can run any windows app I want to and see it on my display. If I'm not in a Wifi area, I tether from my 4G phone.

Did you actually read the op? Teamviewer is totally useless for this, as is ANY form of remote running application.

Tru dat. Not sure what I was thinking when I posted that....I think my mind was just stuck in the subject line and not the meat of the post.
How about the upcoming Windows 8? Will it support our A500?
No.
How did we stretch "no" into two pages?

[Q] Is it possible to use the tab as a second screen for a linux laptop

Hi,
I would like to use my tablet as a second monitor for my laptop (running on linux -> ubuntu).
I manage to use it a mirror screen trough VNC but this isn't what I'm looking for.
Are you aware of that kind of solution/app ?

Teamviewer https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teamviewer.teamviewer.market.mobile&hl=en
That maybe a possibility.
To act as a monitor it would have to take in a video signal, which the tablet only send out video. So no it wouldnt be possible unless you open the tablet and splice into the LCD connector on the motherboard.
maybe something like this it doesn't have the best reviews though, you might find something similar by somebody else on the market... the results will always depend on your network. I know splashtop is great at using your pc on your tablet, but it can't be used as a secondary display unless you trick your pc to think there is a second display somehow.
Thanks guys!
I'll give a try to teamViewer but this isn't really what I was looking for.
IDisplay doesn't have a server app for linux (windows and mac only )

Stable and reliable app for viewing Android Phone Screen on PC?

Hi all,
I have used mymobiler and another one (cant recall) and find none of them reliable. Needs reboot of the PC or some different kind of circus to see the phone screen on the PC.
I wanted to make a youtube video showcasing few themes etc.. but unable to find a reliable app.
What do you use in here, whats a good one that i can use?

look for "phone screen sharing" in samsung apps. there you'll find the mobile client!
there are also versions for all kind of PC's "floating" around, as normally the PC client is only for certain samsung models.
otherwise this tool works great!

Is your phone rooted? If so, I use VMLite VNC Server.
Just wanted to add, VMLite VNC Server works without rooting. Regular Note 3 works just fine, you will need a free desktop program to start the server, though. Once vnc server is running, you can use a vnc viewer on pc to view and control the android phone, and record a movie. etc.
