DLNA With PS3

Having trouble finding my phone as a media server on my PS3.
They are both connected to the same wifi, and after opening allshare on the phone and selecting play file from phone I search for media servers on the ps3 and it finds nothing.
Are there specific ports that need to be open on the network? could anyone give some pointers?
Thanks, Dan.

are you sure you have media server enabled on the ps3?

Thanks for the reply.
Yeah, I've also tried disabling it and then re-enabling it as I read somewhere that it uses different ports each time, but I've had no success

Same happened to me, I powered the phone off/on and it the PS3 was able to find it (it seems i have a few issues with this phone that require me to power on/off, annoying but w/e). My problem is i get an error message from the PS3 saying the the videos are not supported, so I cant play them...

[Q] 4.2.2 update, now WIFI probs. Anybody else?

I run my N7_16G_WIFI stock.
I received the 4.2.2 update over the weekend. Now, though my wifi seems to be connected, and you see upstream/downstream animation in the notification area, play music isn't downloading the download queue, but fails. Websites load, but speedtest app fails to complete the searching for server phase. Installing apps from the play store works, eventually, but Netflix, YouTube, and other medium to high bandwidth apps are not. Even my weather app will only load the weather alert page, yet maps, forecast, etc are unusable.
Will test LAN performance to gauge the extent of the problem, perhaps related to traffic passing through the gateway. No other devices on the network are affected, however. I usually stream files from my DLNA server with no problem, so I can test that tonight.
Has anyone had any issues with flaky WIFI after the update? I had no such issues before.

I've been having constant disconnect/auto reconnect after the update to 4.2.2. No other device on my network is having this issue though.

Dang

My wi-fi was flawless before the update and is just as good after 4.2.2. I sincerely doubt the update caused a problem if it installed correctly. Many posts refer to fixing wi-fi issues by updating/resetting the router. I have a pretty new router with the latest firmware update.

My first thought was it may have been the router as well, but my Nexus has been experiencing constant disconnects on every network I've connected to.

Same here. I expect to have problems in my neighborhood; Urban area and everyone has WiFi. I brought it to work to test on our Meru network, though, and still had the same problem. At work, we are the only building on a 100+acre lot, with saturated WiFi signal. I still had the same issues.
On a factory upgrade, not sure what I could have done incorrectly, since I just tapped "Yes, install" and went to bed.

Tmobile Unlimited Video streaming... But to a TV screen?

So i love the fact that tmobile is now offering unlimited video streaming from 20 some odd suppliers of video content. However, I'm not one to watch videos on my phone much. I want to use the "optimized" data speeds of tmobile to stream videos to through my phone and tmobile network, but to my TV. Why? Because my home internet sucks, i'm renting and... long story.
I know the nexus 6p doesn't have HDMI out, as that would be the perfect option, can anyone else think of anything that would solve this for me?

Depending on how he does it, he will have to use tethering, and tmobile is not allowing unlimited streaming with these video services through hotspot.
With that said, I believe you can mirror your screen through Chromecast without it using hotspot data. Some apps have an audio delay and other visual glitches doing this though. Netflix and YouTube are what I do this with often, and they both work flawlessly. Another caveat to doing this is you have to leave your phones screen on. This will tear through your battery and make your phone quite hot. It pretty much has to stay plugged in.

I don't see where that the "chromecast" reply went, maybe deleted. But chromecast uses wifi to draw the video stream from netflix (for example) once i perform the phoen to chromi handshake. But ya i did consider the mirror. too

Doesn't looks like that cable is for anything more than the pixlebook

Yeah. The Nexus 6P sadly does NOT have the capability to output HDMI.

I'm assuming since he wants to use his new unlimited streaming data, he doesn't have wifi available. So it would use his phones tether data.

there's some weird information in here so hopefully i can help summarize some of the things that have been posted.
T-Mobile will forgive certain streaming services against your data plan.
The data forgiveness does not apply to tethering/hotspot connections.
Utilizing Chromecast as a streaming source (instead of mirroring your device) will require a WiFi connection. As stated above, this bypasses the forgiveness by utilizing the tethering/hotspot of your device.
The N6P does NOT have an HDMI out but can have miracast enabled and/or utilize screen mirroring through Chromecast.
Many streaming applications prevent Chromecast/Screen Mirroring from your device.
OP, the short answer here is that you're limited to your phone, unless you're willing to work for another solution. If you're looking for a solution while you're traveling, I would look in to buying a cheap "travel" router that allows you to authenticate to hotel WiFi and still use CC.

I have same issue like this. The only thing is I don't use a Chromecast. I hook up my TV with LAN (Old Sony Bravia) to my router and my phone to same routers WiFi. So I am able to share and connect with TV. No issues. I have a crappy wired internet connected to it. I also have unlimited 4G plan on my phone. I use AllConnect to cast from my Phone to TV. Now I am able to cast Movie HD app via AllConnect on my TV. But as soon as I disconnect the wired internet from my router. I am not able to cast. I want to use my Phones 4G internet to stream on my TV. Theoretically it should be possible to cast using my routers LAN which I am able to. But as soon as I disconnect DSL cable from my router the streaming stops. Can anyone help me here.

Cannot download app in Google Play Store via Wifi

I got the device yesterday. When I first set up, it couldnt pass "checking connection" after connected to wifi. I passed by switching to LTE. Then I realized that I couldnt download any Play Store apps by wifi (it keeps saying download and then fails). LTE can make normal downloads. Wifi still works for browsing, playing games and any other functions. I did a factory reset, but it didnt get any better. The same result with my brother device (on same wifi network). I am wondering anybody having this issue

Just got my phone from tmobile today, and was having all the same symptoms as you guys. In the back of my head I keep thinking I had the same issue back with my SGS1, but couldn't remember what I did. Worst of all, my SGS3 was working fine on wifi. Finally reading some posts from people with the same issue at Verizon it hit me.
I'm using an old Netgear WNDR3700v2. 3 steps:
1. Disable IPv6
2. ?
3. Profit
Hope this helps.

I had the same issue. If you have access to router settings add 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 as Static DNS addresses. Those are the standard Google addresses. Fixed my problem.

HD 10 2017 mirroring or Wi-Fi direct to phone?

After a few attempts, without success, I figured it wiser to ask here than spend hours.....
Trying to sync files directly from my android phone to the tablet, without using data or Wi-Fi. Tried mi drop, refill sync, refill sync, and allcast with no connection made. Shareit worked for sending from fire hd tablet to phone but not from phone to tablet.
I see the tablet has hotspot but I can't find that setting nor does my phone see it when the apps enable it. Does it have it?
Second, I would like to mirror my phone to the tablet if possible. Is it possible? Apps?
Suggestions?
Thanks in advance!

Without using data or WiFi, your best bet might be to manually copy files using a microsd card if the phone supports it.

That's what I did. Then used "folder sync" to keep them synced to Google drive....though really would like to mirror the phone for streaming video over data so I'm not using the hotspot.
Thanks!

Without WiFi, I can't imagine how to do that. There's no hardwired input for video on these devices.

I know apps can turn a device into a Wi-Fi sink & sender but I don't think the fire tablets have the ability for Wi-Fi direct/hotspot, although a couple apps I installed turned on the hotspot I don't think there really is that hardware ability - certainly wasn't found by my phone.
My guess is, Amazon neutered that hardware ability because they're trying to force people into their cloud options, only....but I'm not certain.
