Media sync/sharing with other devices not working - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

so my g2 is pretty much refusing to share data via wireless storage or media servers, it fails at airplay, and the thing won't even show up as a drive when I'm using media sync with a usb connection to my ps3 or mac.
anyone know how I can fix this?

Wifi Streaming - Strange Problem

Wifi Streaming - Strange Problem
I am hoping someone may have come across the same problem as me because I have searched this forum and have not seen anything like this.
I have been trying to access my Music stored on my main PC via the wireless router which is connected to it (Netgear DG834G V3). I am using Pocket Player 3.5 with the new upnp plugin. I am trying to connect my HTC Touch which can connect to the internet via the wifi router no problem and I can also look at shared folders in Pocket player through adding a network folder address. I can play files this way also but the directory structure of my hard disk is long winded and I just wanted to browse the traditional way by artist/album etc..
I have found that Windows Media Player 11 does not recognize the Touch as a Upnp device and when I try and Network share on pocket player nothing happens. I have also tried Resco Explorer and it cannot map the drives also.
Something I found strange though is that I also have a laptop which is also connected to my Wireless router and when I opened WMP11 on the laptop it shared the files on the Touch. I looked at all the Network/Firewall settings etc.. on both the main PC and the laptop and they were almost identical so I cannot understand why my main PC isn't allowing the connection. The only difference is that my PC is wired to the Netgear and the Laptop is connecting through wifi.
If I actually plug the Touch directly into my main PC via the USB cable and close down Active Sync the Touch can suddenly read the WMP11 content on the main PC (although it gives the Touch a different MAC Code) however it will loose it as soon as I disconnect the cable.
Can anyone help! Am I missing something really obvious?

Allshare with Windows Vista

Hi,
I was wondering if it is possible to share media from my I9000 with my windows Vista desktop (connected via LAN)?
When I tried scanning from my phone it could not find any device. I think this maybe because perhaps a wired connection cannot be connected to DLNA? Could someone let me know if there is some way to do this?
TIA
Dear friend
You can access to your mobile files and folders via Wireless lan with WEBSHARING software.
Also I am interested to know how can I share my files in my PC with My Galaxy S
Actually I am looking for streaming not just file sharing.
Is there any way to get this within Windows itself?
make sure your phone is connected via wifi in the same network with any device that runs a DLNA compatible player (such as Windows Media Player) then run "allshare" and you will see the name of the computer(s) with the player...
I hope this helped.
it doesnt work for me. my computer is connected via a cable , while my mobile phone connects wireless to the same router..
Doesn't work for me either. In the Media Player "media sharing" I am unable to see the Galaxy S.
i just tried. it's working on my windows 7 32bit.
running the latest Wmedia Player. which i believe is 11?
streaming media FROM my phone, streaming media TO my phone.
i'm using JPY from samfirmware.
oh yea i'm connected to WIFI on both my laptop and my phone.
It doesn't matter how your pc is connected to your network (wifi or cable). You should "see" the computer that runs DLNA player via allshare and choose it. After that, your computer sees the gallery of your phone and is able to browse and play media from it.
Edit: Galaxy S shows up in the media player's library

[Q] Sharing video from phone to computer

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?

[Q] DLNA question

The GNote is dlna compliant is it not?
So I'm wondering why when I connect to my dlna samsung tv, the only drive I can see browsing via the tv is the 2.8 gb phone root.
I have no access to the 11gb extended phone memory or the sd card.
Has anyone managed to connect to their dlna tv and access all their memory locations?
And if so can you please explain how you did it?
Heres hoping.
I'm bumping this topic back to the front page to keep it current.
I was honestly expecting to find all the phones drives by simply connecting to my dlna tv with usb.
This is such a handy feature of dlna that I feel it must be do'able with the GNote, what with it being dlna certified, that I can't help but feel that it must be something that I am not doing or doing wrong.
I could browse and play all the media files, including the sd card on my old HD2 through my tv simply by attaching the phone to the tv via a usb cable.
I cant however with the sammy.
Here is hoping that some Guru can pin this down.
Regards.

What no direct cable connection? I clearly need to brush up on my wifi.
Was looking for the functionality of simply plugging my device into the tv then accessing the memory of the phone and playing the media while charging the unit. Seems to me that there is a trick there that's been missed.
Dank U wel for your response wonderwout, I'll investigate this further.
Regards.

For getting media on your tv quick Allshare over wifi is pretty good. Start a media file on your phone when in the player hit "share" from the menu and select Allshare. It will ask you to select a target device, select your tv and your set. You need to have it all on same network off course.
can anyone post dlna.apk from stock rom, please?

Yes sir, you are right DLNA isnt wifi specific though. DLNA only means media over network, be it cable or wireless doent matter. But it doesnt cover usb/mass storage mode file access.
But plugging in the note and chosing to allow usb access should put up two drives, one being the internal 16gig flash memory and a second one representing the sd card. I reckon your TV is not able to access two drives and instead just mounts the first one available with no way to switch.
If possible, update TV firmware and also, if possible, use DLNA. The TV needs network cspabilities for thst to work though...

When I connect my note to my PS3 using ALL SHARE, I am able to see the note on the PS3 menu. I am even able to play videos on the PS3 wirelessly. But I am not able to see the PS3 on the ALL SHARE app in the note. All it shows is No Device.
What am I doing wrong?

I think that PS3 is only a dlna client and not a server.

[Q] Stream music to PC via bluetooth?

Has anyone had any luck streaming music from their phones to their computer's speakers via bluetooth?
My internet connection at work sucks so I can't stream music from Google Music. I don't want to listen straight from my phone because then I might miss IMs or meeting reminders. Ideally, I'd like to stream the music I have pinned on my phone through my computers audio to get the best of both worlds.
So I successfully paired my phone (4.3) to my computer (win8) via bluetooth, but I can't seem to do anything with streaming audio. I can transfer a file no problem. If I go into devices > nexus 4 > properties > services, it just shows two "unknown services" which I've tried updating the drivers on to no avail.

Not sure about bluetooth. But there is an awesome app called 'AirDroid', it allows you to use your phone on your computer by accessing it locally on the wifi. You can create an ad-hoc and do the same.
Code:

After much toil, I figured out how to get it working. For my laptop, I had to download the ThinkPad Bluetooth package:
http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?DocID=DS032149
From what I gathered, the default bluetooth drivers provided by Microsoft do not support a2dp. If you don't have a ThinkPad, look for drivers from the manufacturer.
Hi, I just released an app that lets you stream the music from your phone and play it in any browser over wifi as long as both devices are connected to the same wifi network. It's called Weezzler.
You can get it here.
