Hey, I've been having trouble getting my s4 to connect to my Xbox360 through Wifi Direct, bluetooth, and file sharing. All I want to do is play my music through my xbox without connecting my phone to the xbox. I even tried to do it with the phone connected and it will see all the files but not play them. Help? Or will it never work?
I use imediashare and it works fine. I remember for xbox glass to work both the box and phone had to be wireless on the same router to work maybe try that

I need to share videos on my phone to my work laptop.
I cannot install programs on my work laptop (So VLC won't do. Neither will portable VLC, I think.)
I already tested I can run barnacle wifi tether.
I can create adhoc on laptop as well.
I can't use my laptop to use the work network to do non work functions. I doubt they'll not mind a few websites, but streaming videos will definitely get me in trouble.
I can bypass this by streaming it from my phone. No business bandwidth used, no programs installed, no files copied onto the computer.
I assume you're not allowed to connect USB storage to the work laptop? Otherwise you could just put the phone in USB mass storage mode and play files that way.

Forgot about that one. I wouldn't want to try. They've given us password protected, metal encased, waterproof USB sticks to move things between work computers. It would be much better to stream media.
Oh, also, Windows Media Player is installed. And Real as well, I think.
If either can function as a DLNA/UPNP client, the DLNA app preloaded on the Atrix has the ability to stream media stored on the phone.

So, what would need to be done?
DLNA running on phone. I guess WiFi from either. But, how do I access it if I can't install DLNA software onto laptop?
Windows Media Player can act as a DLNA client. Google is your friend.

Looks like there no "find media that others are sharing" option on WinXP. But we're supposed to switch to Win7 soon.
Any other options in the meanwhile?
I've managed to connect to my phone through barnacle, but then I can't run Wifi File Explorer to stream media. Barnacle makes the phone at 192.168.5.1, but I don't know how to access files to stream by connecting to a URL through a media player. Is there a way to serve streaming media from on the phone to a computer when running barnacle?
I can't seem to connect to an ad hoc network created by my laptop. I keep getting stuck on "Obtaining IP address". Apparently theres a file that can be edited to remedy this, but some people have made their wifi broken without being able to fix it by restoring the original file. Has anyone done this on the Atrix?
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...
Anyone use their phones with tethering to power these new consoles?
Will mainly use it for streaming purposes i.e. netflix and what not. I know some devices have issues connecting to the way tethering is set up on phones, so was just curious if any of you guys do it and if it works at all.

I do this indirectly with my xbox 360. I tether my HTPC to the Note through a wireless dongle and then the PC shares it's connection through to the xbox via an Ethernet cable. The two connections are bridged so all the xbox sees is a wired connection with internet access. I can stream Netflix, xbox movies etc fine using this method.
Yea I do this on my 360 also because it doesn't have the built in wifi. However, knowing the one has built in; I hope i can just wirelessly tether.
Anyone else have this setup? Or the ps4 even. Whether there's any issues.
I have seen videos on you tube showing s3 and s4 connected wireless threw the ps3 media server but when i try to use it in the same way ps3 wont find s5 and s5 wont find ps3. Both ps3 and s5 can find my pc though . Wifi is on and tried quick connect and ginkgo dlna app but still no joys. Ive got network settings selected on ps3 but no luck. Any help?
Hi guys,
Is there any way to connect an unrooted android phone to Chromecast without a WiFi? My phone will have an internet and it can use it's hotspot to connect to Chromecast. But, turns out, turning hotspot on will turn off the Wifi automatically. This seems to be a unsolvable problem, do any of you guys know any better?
Problem:
I'm trying to connect my phone to a LCD display in my car. The car display has a video input. So, if I can connect Chromecast with a HDMI to video converter, then I can have my phone control that display. I don't necessarily have to use Chromecast, I can use whatever... like Amazon fire stick or something if those are better for this purpose.
I appreciate any inputs. Thanks.
I haven't done it yet personally but you need another phone or device to act as the hotspot or wifi.

Heres the video.
Simplified Instructions maybe?
-Turn on your phone's WiFi hotspot
-Connect a computer to it
-Set up your chromecast to use your phones hot spot as the network
-Plug your chromecast into your radio, TV, or AV reciever.
Do the initial setup for the chromecast on your home wifi, then set your phone's hotspot with the same ssid and password as your home wifi network. When you turn on the hotspot, the chromecast will connect to it automatically and you can stream video from online via the wifi hotspot.
