I would like to be able to sync my phone screen with my TV wirelessly, kinda like air play. I tried google TV remote, but it doesn't allow it. it can only control there google tv. sometimes I'm doing something on my tablet or phone and w want to share it with the people in the room, but than have to get up and connect to TV. is there anything out there that would allow me to do this.
If your TV is dlna capable or you have an Xbox or PS3 then you can use a dlna client I use twonky server. I know there are some other ones as well that are free but for 3 bucks and for it to always work was good enough for me
I uuse imediashare in conjunction with my ps3
I want to watch movies on my TV in the bedroom using the HDMI output of the phone and getting the movies wirelessly from my PC?
I already have the NHL adapter and the HDMI cable, so what would be the best solution for getting the movies to the phone?
p.s.
are there any advantages/disdavtanges of downloading the movies on the phone directly VS wirelessly getting them from the PC?

Install allshare on your computer and then use imediashare or similar dlna app to show it on your phone/tv.

theres an app, skifta, which does that.but for that your tv has to be dlna compatible.
Heres my setup. I have dlna server on my mac, TVMOBILI, where all my vids are. I open skifta, select it as source and play it on my dlna certified LG LW5600 TV.
Other options, I am not very familiar with. To play from MHL(HDMI), it mirrors the screen of your phone basically. So yes, technically, you could set up a dlna server on your pc, then use skifta to play it on your phone from pc, and then connect MHL so that the output gets mirrored on the TV. This solution is in case your TV is not DLNA certified.

So, what I said ;-P
Imediashare let's you select which device to show it on (ps3/dlna compatible tv/phone).
It also supports windows mediaplayer, so if you have that set up you don't need allshare.

oops, you just got it before me...anyways, its not skifta, its imediashare. my bad, i messed up the apps.
Yea, imediashare is pretty awesome.
I use TVersity to stream movies from my PC to my tablet, phone, and GTV. Works nicely, but you have to access the movie through the browser, which then opens it in whatever media player you want.

Personally, I'm a pretty big fan of Plex. Although I did already have everything set up on my media server so I suppose I'm a bit biased. Seemingly working fine via MHL to HDMI adapter. :]

i think best solution is skifta:
you only need a Se7en running pc(where you have all yours 'shared' multimedia stuff), your galaxy nexus and a wifi net.
Open skyfta on yous GN, select your pc as 'source' and your nexus as 'player', browse your movie and play it! (i suggest MX video player on Galaxy Nexus)
if your tv it's dnla certified, connect it to your wifi.... then from skyfta on nexus, select as 'player' your tv
I don't know if anyone can help me but I figured I could ask. I have a LG BluRay DVD Home theater System that has DLNA ability that is hooked to my HD tv that is not. My home theater reciever is not currently hooked up to my wireless network but I see that the receiver does have a ethernet port in the back. I am mainly trying to connect my galaxy s3 to my tv to stream video etc. Does anyone know if I direct connect the DLNA capable home theater receiver to my wireless router, which will connect it to my wireless network, will I then be able to send info from my galaxy s3 to my theater system which will show up on my TV? Sorry for the noob question but i got to start somewhere.....Any information will help based on my situation of not having a DLNA capable TV lol
Unless i am wrong i dont think you can stream video from your device to the tv. IT has to be content loaded on y our device. Like a movie, song or picture.
Hulu and Netflix and anything you can watch on your device via streaming method will only display on your screen or if you have an MHL adapter.
By using the DLNA app it acts as a media server so you can use your tv/bluray device to brows certain media types on your phone and play them on your tv.
My PS3 is hooked up to my router via the RJ45 jack, and my phone is on the same network via WiFi. They will see each other.
As long as its the same network and the devices are DLNA compatible you should be able to get content off your phone and onto the TV.
Ok, here is what I want to be able to do:
Setup:
-Have a Revue googletv connected to my Denon receiver which is connected to the TV. Wife and me have a Samsung Galaxy Nexus
Denon is not networked, but am open to replacing the receiver (it is old, no HDMI switching etc.) with a networked one.
Question:
I want to be able to listen to pandora or Google Music app triggered from either of our SGN's playing through the living room speakers connected to my Denon receiver. I want to make it as simple as possible, so I don't want to power on my TV and then use Revue's Pandora or Google Music app. I want to be able to use the SGN phone's app. I know I can control the Revue with the Android app on my SGN, but without the TV being on, you can't see what's going on...
It would be great if google had airplay like functionality, so I wouldn't need to switch on TV, I can just goto the Pandora app (or Google Music) and select the Receiver to send it to and it would play it on the speakers connected to my receiver.
Any ideas?
So this is not possible then I guess?
Install Bubbleupnp on your phone's and the Revue. You will need the paid version. Set the Revue up as a renderer. Set your phones to use the Revue as a renderer. You won't need to turn the TV on, just pick the music on your phone and play through the Revue and Denon. You can even use your PC as your media server...
Is there a way to transfer files in mass via WIFI Direct to desktop? I don't want to use AirDroid that has some relation to someone else network...
I like the 1080p video and pics...and want to transfer them via wifi direct. I can't seem to find anything out there for it. Is hardwire the only way?
love to know this too...i have a carpc and a laptop and some desktops that i would love to push files to from time to time

This is a good one. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.smarterdroid.wififiletransfer
I prefer this one though. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dooblou.WiFiFileExplorerPRO
I use AndFTP
I use this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.theolivetree.ftpserver&hl=en
Bluetooth is another option. A Bluetooth adapter can be had for a USB port cheap. I have a USB 4.0 adapter I got from a local office supply store for my desktop at work. This also allows me to stream Pandora through the speakers on the desktop PC, among other helpful things.
At home I have a NAS drive that is connected via FTP using ES file explorer. Works fine. Also, DLNA is an option, that works for me too. I can enable DLNA on the phone and copy to and from the device using my PS3 and laptop, or play music off my phone through my PS3, do photo slide shows, etc.
