Do you think it could be possible to use a GN as a portable device on an Xbox.. I connected via USB and it shows as a media device on the gn but nothing on the Xbox. Xbox is supposed to recognize mtp devices..
I dl a torrent and wanted to try it.. I prob will get a mhl cable but for the moment I was just wondering
Thanks

Same question. I wasn't able to get my XBOX to see photos or videos on my GN.
This did work on my Droid Charge.
If you download Twonky Server then you can stream over wifi as long as the Xbox and the phone are connected to your home internet it will stream over dlna I do it all the time it works great. The app is only 2.99 but you can get a trial mode to make sure it works
according to details on MTP, the xbox 360 and PS3 can both read MTP devices, but i haven't gotten either of them to read the GN. Safe to say they're not going to work.
but as angelino said, you can use streaming apps and those will work just fine.
Literally yesterday I tried an iPhone gnex and a W7 phone with an Xbox on the new dashboard and none of them worked I think it currently is a problem with the new dashboard as it only in the end recognized a standard USB stick with songs on it

Just a simple fun fact, I watch and listen all my content on my TV screen via de PS3 skipping the TV cable necessity. I just use the USB cable and hook it straight to my system. It recognizes all my storage card content. You can probably do the same off of the XBOX360.
yeah i do that, but what've been trying to do is get my phone to act like a bluetooth keyboard and mouse.
I installed this app http://www.mobilesrc.com/mobileremote.aspx
then i went to my ps3 and searched for BT devices and it just kept searching for a long time and stayed on the searching screen for like 3 minutes and i just canceled
can someone try it out and see if it works for them.
Hey all, just read about this on Gizmodo. As of yesterday, AirSync can sync music to your Xbox or Ps3 to play over wifi. This is very exciting news to me because now I dont have to have a crappy usb plugged in all the time. It warns that it might not be compatable with some htc devices but it works on my g2 so im not complaining. Not sure about the Ps3 but on the Xbox all you have to do is go to music library and it should show up as something to play on besides the HDD. Very useful. Enjoy

Edit: Forgot to mention you can view photos and videos(if their in the right format) too!!
Very nice, I should try it now. Thanks for the post!

I just spent 10 minutes trying to get my G2 ps3 doubletwist connection working without success. Let me know if there is any special step I might be missing. I searched for media server with no success. Also my auto sync with my desktop doesn't seem to work all the way. It only copied a few videos but no pictures. I only have it set up to sync from my phone to pc.
Mine has sometimes stopped working too. Since I have no ps3 I can't tell you what to do there but just try restarting everything. Did you make sure airtwist is on? Open doubletwist music player > settings > airtwist. If it is checked try toggling it off then on
how to for ps3
Hey im doing this on a note 2 but to connect it to the ps3 turn on airtwist and go to your ps3, search for a media server and just connect to it
I know xda has some gamers out there so I have a question. I'm trying to share media from my phone to my 360. This used to be possible on sense roms before Xbox received that last dashboard update that messed with the usb settings. In the past you could use your phone mount it and your Xbox would let you share music and photos via USB. I haven't been on a sense rom in a long time so I don't know if it still works. When I mount my phone (USB) the Xbox picks it up as "portable drive" and lets me scroll the contents but choosing music just hangs. I tried this app called "Twonky Media server" which lets you wirelessly stream music to your Xbox it works perfect but I'm trying to do it via usb because it lags my game sometimes. Can someone on a sense rom with an Xbox let me know if you share music via usb? Anyone try this with cm7 because I can't get it to work!
Anyone lol?
I want to control my samsung galaxy nexus via my pc but I dont need display I just need to use the keyboard and mouse.
Let me tell you why....
I currently have a spare monitor and I have connected my Samsung galaxy Nexus to it via an MHL adaptor but I would like to use my pc mouse and keyboard to do stuff on it and then just change back to pc when I want.
Anyone know any tools to do this?
Thanks
Bluetooth keyboard and mouse is the best option.
Try free AirDroid which lets you use many features of your phone including texting and managing apps via your browser on a PC as long as you're on the same network.

I had been using Droid VNC Server in the past, however it doesn't seem to support ICS. knoxbrder seems to be very close to having a working version for the Galaxy Nexus, you can take a look at this thread for some details.
Once this is running, you can run vncviewer on a Linux system, or download RealVNC for Windows and access your phone when it's on your WiFi network.

LMAO Are you going to hook your microwave up to a monitor as well? How about your toilet? Maybe you can get to the point where everything you own from phone, to coffee maker, to wrist watch has its own monitor. Clearly you need to get out more brah
I've found the remotely controllable phone-to-TV connection very useful. My old TV didn't have Pandora support so I used to hook up my X to it so I could listen via my sound system speakers. I now have a Google TV with a Pandora client, but with a dumb monitor you can also throw in Netflix and Amazon video to turn it into a smart TV. Or just turn the phone into a mini-desktop, it's already just a pocket computer.
i have been pretty disapointed with android options in this department.
i had veency running like a charm on my iphone, but nothing for android. and most of the vnc/rdp programes in market are not what they claim to be.
Hiya... did quite a bit of searching, but couldn't find a lead on this. I feel like it should be doable... but the built in setting and the apps I've tried don't seem to work. (AllCast, pixel media server)
I'm trying to stream movies from my phone through my Xbox while tethering onto my tv but it's just not happening... the built in function requests that I connect to Wi-Fi, but I don't have a router, just the tether... any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!

Why not just get an HDMI adapter and save the tethering data? Not positive, but I believe you need wifi to stream to the Xbox anyway. I assume you mean like Netflix or whatever? You can use the Allshare Cast Dongle without wifi but a lot of times the sound can lag behind. Keep in mind if you are trying to stream anything from your phone to your Xbox, it HAS to actually be on the phone itself, I don't even think it can be on the external SD card. This means trying to use DLNA for Netflix will never work. I could be wrong about it being on the external but I don't think so.
I'm trying to stream a local video file from my phone to my tv through my xbox360. I don't have an hdmi cable for the phone. I don't have a wireless router....just my phone and the xbox..I can get the xbox connected to my phone by tethering, but I can't figure out how to get the DLNA stuff going without the wireless router.
I feel like it should be possible. I don't need to stream Netflix or anything... just local videos on my phone to the xbox.
I'm still trying to figure out a way. Thanks

I'm not sure how WiFi direct-connect would work with an Xbox...but I've used it with a Mac at work with no problems. Kies? I'm just spit-balling ideas, as I am on CM (and have been since I got the phone home) so I'm a little out of my element. But I'm sure there's a way and it's likely down this path.
Or, failing that, head down to your local Salvation Army or Goodwill (or other thrift shop type place) and pick up a wifi router for $3-$10....I've done it many times before. If you can afford a Note3 on T-Mobile you can afford to spend $3-$20 for a used (discarded, unwanted, otherwise undesirable) WiFi router.
EDIT: or spend $5(?) for an MHL adapter to plug it into your TV directly and screw the middleman Xbox.
Yeah.... those are where I'm headed in the solution department. I just wish I could connect it to the phone via tether and then pick up the video file over that connection.
I'll keep looking for a simple and elegant software solution. I have an hdmi cable for my laptop that works ez pz... but I was going I could accomplish it through my phone.
Thanks though!

Twonky Remote works perfect for the X box ... it's scan your Internal And External Memory For Audio/Pictures/Videos etc...
