I'm sure some of you know about the Xbox Smart glass app just being released to control your Xbox dashboard with your Note 2, but if your in the gallery looking at pictures and click change player at the top then it automatically displays on your TV using your Xbox! Works with videos, pictures, and music. You must go to console settings and turn on "Smart glass apps", and "Play to" on your Xbox for this to work. Let me know how you guys are liking it.

Ok so ive been digging around here and there and really want to purchase the allshare cast hub to use my note 2 on my tv. That being said I have read many negative reviews about how horrible the sound is or how bad the quality is/ lagginess, etc.
Can others voice there experiences with the allshare cast hub?
On the other hand there is also this smart dock I have been reading about that turns your phone practically into a desktop computer. I think its sweet as hell but the 144 dollar price tag tells me other wise.
Please start ha all information is good information, maybe this can be a quide/ review page of people's experiences with the allshare cast or something like that, thanks! have a good one brothers and sisters!
I tried using AllShare on my Windows 7 computer. I have a pci-e card with 4 cable ready tuners. It uses windows media center to record in HD using (.wtv). This format is not supported by AllShare. I could not find anyone in their Allshare tech support to help. Samsung TV support could not tell me what speed their network ports are or what standards the Wifi on the new TVs is.

I have been using the allshare cast hub in my car hooked up to a Pioneer Appradio2 to mirror my display on the appradio and I have no sound quality issues. Connection is quick and easy. If you are rooted you will need to make sure your flash counter is set to 0 or the allshare cast will not work.

Did anyone figure out how to play Netflix on tv in full screen. On my tv looks shrunk to 4x3 instead 16x9. Is there any solution?

There is an app that will force landscape or portrait mode, I think that may be what you're looking for. It'll force the device to rotate, even though the dock holds it upright, thus using the full width of the HDTV.
Thanks for reply. My problem is that Netflix plays fine on note, but when connected to smart dock only Netflix main menu comes up in full screen. When playing video picture is shrunk horizontally. Other players and youtube play perfectly in full screen. It must be error in app itself.

I don't know if this will help but here is the link to the app, I believe, muqali is talking about. It's a paid app but has a free trail. Check it out. It might help..great app for TW ROMS btw.

Thanks everyone. I read some user opinions about Netflix app in Play Store and looks like I'm not the only one with that problem. It appears that problem is within Netflix app. Forcing rotation doesn't change anything. I need to wait for netflix to fix that.

So I watching espn on my xbox and going through the pictures on my phone. There was a button at the top of the screen that said "change player" that I had never seen before, so I hit it. Boom. All of a sudden my pictures were on my t.v. I tried it with some videos and they played smoothly too. Audio and video. Anyone else try this before or even know it was a feature?

Yup. I found this when i had the S3. I download movies to my phone instead of trying to use the Hub, never works rooted anyways. You can stream thru a PS3 but theres a lil more work involved with settings and what not. Love the feature. Enjoy!

I'm glad I wasn't watching any porn when I discovered it. my 4 year old daughter was watching a movie on my xbox and I was looking at some videos I shot that day, saw the button and of course pressed it and boom there it was on my tv hehe. I was like oh that is cool. And my wife goes, you just wanted to show that off! But I really didn't know haha.

It's basic DLNA capability built into pretty every phone now. Different companies like calling it different things. Microsoft calls it Play-to for example.
I've been using it with my receivers for years now.
The only problem I have is the Note has issued controlling playback on other devices (play and pause don't work properly).

A few months ago, Amazon had the app iMediaShare for free and it has quickly become one of my favorite apps. It will find all available devices that your phone can stream to. In fact, I only have an xbox hooked up to my projector. It is a media extender for my htpc and then I just download movies to my phone and play them from the xbox through dlna.
Does the watchON remote work with Xbox 360?
I have me TV, BluRay, and AV receiver set up just fine with the watchON universal remote, but I can seem to fina way to get it to talk to my Xbox 360. Does anybody know what the trick is to get this to work. I basically just want to have the ability to turn on my Xbox and turn it off. Anything past that isn't required for me.
Thanks.

Ya. I was hoping somebody might have found an IR code that would work to simply power on the Xbox 360, since pretty much every other universal remote on the planet can do that and more. Too bad.

should work all the time, mine does. Make sure you are pointing it at the xbox, remember it is IR, so it communicates through light.

If you go to settings you can add a device to the room and when you select media player the is an option for Microsoft which will let the app control the Xbox.

Hmm, so the options on the remote for the Xbox are a bit lacking. Basically just power and navigation (see attached), with no option for numbers or changing channels in Windows Media Center. It also still uses the "TV remote" when using the TV guide. I use a cable card and media center but looks like the app doesn't support that setup. Still nice being able to turn the Xbox on.
Also if you have the Xbox glass app you can do things like open netflix, xfinity, or HBO go. They don't really use the glass app much, but you can do some scrubbing of video and the "controller" has a few more buttons like the Xbox home button. See attached screen shots for more details.
Is there some kind of app that will display all of my media (video games, movies, TV shows, music, gallery) in one place? Kind of like windows media center.
Also, I wouldn't mind if it were a launcher either, not just an app

XMBC does the job. But it wont show games or apps, only media.
I hate Nexus apps and themes section.
It's full of requests.
I used to see new mods and themes every day on XS section....
This is ridiculous, only requests.
Sorry mate for taking yours thread to say that, maybe I should open new thread just to say that!?!
Moderators...why do you allowing that?
All good mods and themes are gone on bottom.
