Hey! Wondering if you guys could help me out, I have an old HTC incredible s that I want to leave plugged into my stereo and stream music from my gs3 to it, preferably over blue tooth since I never use wifi. Is there any way to set this up?

I can't remember the name of the app, but there is a program that allows 2 mobile devices (tablets and/or smartphones) to connect this way. The app for the host device is a paid app but each addon device utilizes a free controller app. In this instance, your HTC would use the paid host app to be used with a stereo, TV, computer, etc and your s3 (and any other phones/tablets) would use the free remote control app. I'll see if I can find it again

Think of how awesome this would be...
I have a 55 inch Samsung LED television. SmartTV enabled with AllShare and all that fun stuff. So here is my question...
I want to use my Epic to control my tv. And if it's not possible in the whole sense...how about just for the keyboard function. I'm trying to avoid buying a keyboard so I figure if my phone could serve that function...not only will it be so useful but sooooooo cool!!!
Basically rather than using the remote it came with to type on the Internet or chat or Facebook....I would use my phone to type. Can AllShare be used for any of this? Or does anyone know if this is possible?
I actually think I may have just found my answer in the market....
If anyone has a similar question..."samsung remote" in the market will accomplish all of these requests!!
I already use my epic to control my directv

I actually think there is. My brother in law was telling me about an Android App he found which would do all of this. I think he heard it from someone else though, as he didn't have it all hooked up yet, but I do believe he said it was somewhere in the $20 range for the app itself.
If you could use your smartphone as a remote for all that fun stuff...that would be..well..yeah, it's coming, EPIC.
Can you ask your brother in law what is the name of that app.

I did and he mentioned something called "pocketblu" but it only works via bluetooth. Since our phones don't have infrared, they won't work on standard TVs for the most part. He did mention AllShare but didn't get into the details of it.
I know he's looked into this stuff quite a bit, but the above information was through just a few texts. The next time we're together (probably Easter weekend) I'll be sure to have a better discussion with him.
I have run into an frustrating issue as of late regarding streaming music from my s3 through my xbox using the built in music player. What is happening is the music player will randomly pause while streaming, requiring me to press the play button to get it going again. This is not being caused by incoming messages or calls. I don't have voice enabled. Keep wifi on is also enabled.
Strong wifi signal through entire home. Running frosty Jb v7.
If it's a player issue whats the best alternative? I tried a few from the play store 2player, bubble UPnp, poweramp , winamp. They either have ****ty interfaces or act just as wonky.
Maybe I am just not understanding the tech of it. I turn the xbox, tv and stereo on. Then push the icon on my music player(see attached photo) and it starts streaming through the xbox. I thought it was pretty slick until it started acting up on me.
I'm getting the same thing. Happens more often when I put the phone on shuffle.

Possibly a custom kernel issue? No idea, just a thought. I know they can cause things to not work properly sometimes.
Was on stock. Good thought though.

I tried bubble UPnP for a while.. didnt like the interface to begin with.. I want to go to artist then sort through various albums. It did work however until the program itself began freezing up and not retrieving my files. So that was a no go.
I am stock. Am I able to stream music as well? Or do I need a particular rom ...Assuming you guys figure this out.

Can be done on stock as well. Its a built in feature, just need to have a wireless(wifi) capable tv, xbox, or ps3 (maybe some thing else like adapters) pretty sure anything DLNA capable. And phone and Device need to be on same wifi.

I did it on stock very easy. If you have Xbox, as long as it's on, your good. If you are watching Netflix, it will stop what you are watching. You have to use a stock samsung app. I just go through my gallery, find a pic or a movie, choose it, and there is an option which looks like a monitor with a couple of hornizontal arrows going through it. This doesn't work for streaming something on a website or whatever. If it is a file already saved to your phone it will work. All you have to do is go to the picture, or start playing the video, tap the screen and on the top you will find that different icon. Again, you have to have your Xbox ON or it won't show the icon. For Xbox it is cool because you could start watching the video or pic on your phone and want to say to everyone, HEY< WATCH THIS! and with one click it goes.
You can also connect it to work with PS3 but it only works as a media server. Meaning, with Xbox, you can decide, hey, I want to watch this on the Xbox now! With PS3, you have to search for the file and THEN, play it. It's not such an immediate action.
I saw a universal ir remote app before I bought this phone but now I can't find it .

Oddly I like WatchOn and glad Sammy went with them. I have DirectTV so it's fully functional for almost everything i need. Do with it has a full remote instead the scaled down one. But I paid for the directv remote that works on all my boxes via network, rather i'm in that room or not. Great for screwing with my kids when they decide they want to hide in they rooms instead of coming when i call.

Have you tried using wifi-direct?That may be your only option short of screen mirroring via wifi or dongle.
How do I wifi direct? My tv is a smart tv. Run the wifi on my tv and let phone recognize it?

I dont think its as easy as plugging a usb stick in the tv. My tv reads the usb stick easily. It wont do the same for my phone. Always a complication when u think or should be easy
Sent from my SM-N900T using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
You might look at AllCast.
The issue is probably the drivers then. The TV likely has a basic USB driver in it so the USB stick will work, but probably won't allow the phones drivers to install on the TV. So like what was mentioned, if you can't wifi direct or screen mirror (must have Samsung TV for that to be on the TV) you will likely need a Samsung Allcast/Allshare hub. Which in my mind isn't worth it when you can just move them over to a USB stick and watch them from there.
Theres not a rom or driver or sumthn to fix it?

Where did you get your movies from that you can't access on your smart tv? You should be able to stream them from wherever/whatever app you got them from...unless you got them illegally
But nevertheless, AllCast mentioned above is an option, but I think the better option is to get a TV video adapter for your phone? Why not get an HDMI/MHL cable? Duh! They're cheap, like 10 bucks off ebay. Make sure you have the 10/11-pin adapter, not the 5-pin, in regards of the Note 3.
If screen mirroring isn't your savvy and you want the full HD experience of accessing your videos directly thru usb, there is a way to mount your phone as a usb mass storage rather than MTP, but Samsung (and others) don't allow that capability in their OS's (probably to try to get you to use their stupid Kies software). To work around this you'll need root and a terminal emulator. In terminal enter su and type "setprop persist.sys.usb.config mass_storage". THIS MIGHT REALLY MESS UP YOUR USB & ADB CONFIGURATION. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK! Really it's not a big deal tho, to revert back use "setprop persist.sys.usb.config mtp,adb" and reboot like 3 times until it finally fixes itself.
Hope this helps!
