Does anyone more familiar with DLNA requirements know if this will be exclusive to the LG phones for hardware reasons or will this same app be able to work on phones from, say, HTC? This sounds like it could potentially be a great feature with my Onkyo DLNA AVR. Could be a deciding factor for me in which phone I ultimately decide on.
As i understand it LG developed it together with Microsoft and is only available on LG phones. If it will show up on other phones later i don't know but we can sure hope so. Right now i would buy the LG just because of that feature.

I think so, unless another phone has the DLNA hardware. LG is great! If you have a LG tv, stereo, surround system you can control them all with any LG remote. Im willing to bet that if you have a LG tv you won't have to set up your phone or tv to use the app.
Oh so it is a hardware issue? I thought hopefully, just maybe, it would just be software... damn, I really like the surround. Wish it had dlna
There's no such thing as DLNA hardware.
Awesome, that's what I was hoping. So all that is needed is wi-fi. Theoretically, this should be able to be ported from the LG to any wp7 device, correct? If that's the consensus, it will make my decision much easier.
It may/will be ported when/if WP7 is jailbroken. Apart from that, DLNA isn't something that belongs to LG and can't be done by someone else. When Microsoft provides access to socket APIs there may be third party solutions.
Dlna is using wifi it has nothing to do with any kind of hardware , and it havebeen ported to hd2 with Dhd android port
So I can connect my phone to my tv wireless now?
Damn thanks for the info! I thought I needed one of those players.

Your TV must support DLNA.
I knew DLNA wasn't proprietary to LG (my Onkyo receiver, Samsung blu-ray, and wmp11 all have it), I just don't really know how the internal phone stuff works like drivers and stuff so I wasn't sure if it would ever work even after the imminent jailbreak. HTC Surround, here I come! Thanks for selling me on it guys!
but if you have windows 7 that could be a stand in
Any way to side-load "play to" to a Samsung Focus yet?
I have to check it out at some point. I have LG.
I can sideload Play To to my Focus, but when I start the application, it's always said that I need the update my OS to the latest version (and I''m on 7392 at that time).
I can search for DLNA device, but since I don't have any DLNA device, I don't know if it's worked or not. Can I use my Windows 7 laptop ??
is there any way we can do hdmi at all, this dlna thing does not seem to be catching on and it seems rather bulky. it will not play any of my windows media files?
DLNA not catching on? Like every new TV I see has it, almost all bluray players have it, the PS3 and Xbox has it, and every single computer is capable of it. Pretty sure it has caught on pretty well.
But no, there is no HDMI solution right now.
I'm not a huge fan of DLNA myself because it's not useful for older HDTV's, and it's a lot more cumbersome to setup than plugging in a cable and pressing play. I thought we were supposed to get HDMI out via the USB port, but I'll believe it when I see it.

Well I wasnt expecting a rude answer but yes its not catching on , they may have it but it is bulky and cumbersom to use , the standard is not quite standard yet. some companys call it allshare, (samsung) some call it DLNA and the operation of it is not the same on everyone of them.
plus they may have it but not everyone has the money to do out and buy a new system just to support DLNA.
Wasn't meaning to be rude, its just what you said made no sense. Allshare is just a program that uses DLNA. DLNA is the standard. Every computer supports DLNA, most bluray players and many if not most new TV's support it. Also, the Xbox360 and PS3.
The only company that changed the standard to only work with their devices is Apple, who is promoting their airplay nonsense.
You can use ANY of these apps to play to a DLNA device:

I thought it made perfect sense, and yes I know its the standard , but not everyones "program" is the same? but thats neither here nor there the question was simple was there a way for HDMI to work with maybe the micro usb. you answered it , although in a way I wouldnt have, but you answered it.

I'm not sure if you know this or if this answers your question but there is a dlna hdmi converter box thing for like 140 bucks. It was down on engadget like a few weeks ago.

Youtube is a great place for ANY tutorials, literally.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VM5A91JaHiY (Allshare should work the same as DLNA app in the video.)
HI
I recently got a galaxy note 10.1 wifi model and wanted to mirror the screen on my lg smart tv. I understand that both these devices are capable of mirroring but they don't seem to play nice together I contacted samsung customer support and they said look for a 3rd party app that might do it.
I have been doing exactly that since but all i can seem to find are apps that allow file sharing not live mirroring of the note 10.1's screen onto the tv. I understand that samsung have some sort of dongle that might allow it to work but i would prefer not to fork out another $100 for something that seems like it should just work without it. I would prefer to simply use an app that would allow me to connect it via the wifi. Does anyone know of such an app?
Thanks
Allshare Cast dongle or hub is the only way to mirror afaik. I think some newer Samsung tv's might have Allshare built in but not sure about other brands.
Dongle:
samsung.com/se/consumer/mobil/mobil/mobiltillbehor/EAD-T10EDEGSTD?subsubtype=multimedia-and-general
Damn was hoping not to have to buy one of those. I thought with Alshare, dlna and WiFi direct a least one option would just do it. The tv has all those options except allshare it has LG smartshare I believe instead.
Is the Samsung dongle the only one that will work Belkin and HTC make one as well don't they?
I got samsung smart tv with all share cast too, and looking same as you for a way to mirror my screen to it through wifi... its not possible only images and video no screen mirror.
So I guess the the dongle is a must....

I thought that should work due to the tv and the tablet being the same brand and both having allshare cast. My problem is that my tv is an lg tv and the tablet is samsung

Unfortunately Sammy TVs right now do have ONLY AllShare PLAY not AllShare CAST !
Hope AllShare CAST will be added with the Smart Evolution Kit for Sammy TV by March 2013 though.
Right now no mirroring w/o Dongle ..........
One more question about screen mirroring and the need for allshare cast dongle. What exactly does the dongle do that can, t be done with an app? As I understand it with what little knowledge I have is that allshare is based on miracast and so is the dongle, LG's smartshare is based on the same they just both have their own skins overlaid onto miscast technology so you have to go out and spend more money on their hardware to make everything work? What I am wondering is why can't a general app be made that just does the screen mirroring o onto tv's if Both devices are miracast capable, dlna capable and wifidirect capable surely one of these options should allow screen mirroring on a tv without the need for a dongle That costs another $100 or so to purchase on top of the tablet just to get this function. I hope this all makes sense, if someone could explain all this so the dummies like me could understand it that would be awesome. Oh and there seems to be many options for screen mirroring with your pc why is this different?
Thanks

The only way i know of, if you have a capable android phone that you already have hdmi connection to tv, is to use mirrorop sender/reciver app, two apps, one on the note one on the phone, allows you to mirror one android to another vice versa. Ive not managed to get a working mhl/hdmi for my s3, so i dont know if there is a limitation to then hook up the phone via hdmi to tv, wouldnt mind a confirmation on that one my self
Pro
Ive mirrored my note to my s3, anything static it does ok, pics, browsr, pdf, slow/static games
5 minute trial, restart app to reset
Cons
Doesnt transmit sound [i guess the dongle trumps that]
Fast paced games have lag, specifically game controls
Picture quality options at the sake of speed
5 minute trial, restart app to reset

Yeah I looked into Mirrorop but seen as I only want to mirror my galaxy note 10.1 onto a tv it's of no use to me. Funny thing is, is that the LG smart tv I have used to come with a mirror op receiver app p re installed but for some reason it was removed from the model in all countries except China. Sounds like money grabbing on LG's part if you ask me.

One suggestion if you decide to grab the Sammy dongle: register your note on the Samsung web page and you'll get a $50 coupon for the Samsung store. That's how I got mine. Cutting the price in half makes it a little easier to swallow and it does work well certainly glad I got mine.

That sounds alright just one thing is that valid for Australian customers? Also does anyone no which Aussie stores stock them? I went onto Samsung's au website and it seems to be greyed out so I don't no were they are stocked .
online I guess any one know who has the best price?
I've a further related noob question. I have owned my Note 10.1 for 4 days now and have found it great, but I would love to be able to mirror it's display. I actually want to project it (I'm a teacher), but have found a workaround with an iPad where I mirror the iPad to my laptop and display the laptop as normal. Is anything like this possible with the Note?

Hi, I am a teacher as well and am using the Note 10.1 in my classrooms.
I use the Allshare Cast dongle, connected to a HDMI-VGA converter, to the projector. Don't use the converters that don't have a separate power supply; the display will cut in and out because the dongle cannot supply enough current.
Alternatively, you can try using the Netgear push2tv device. The recent beta update enables compatibility with Allshare devices.
If you have rooted your Note 10.1, you need to triangle away to clear the flash counter.

Thanks for your reply. Do you happen to know if there are more than model of Allshare Cast? Prices seem very variable - Amazon go from £30 to £107! I haven't rooted my Note - I'm not really sure what the benefit is - although I seem to have read that it may allow me to access my email through the school proxy, which I can't do at the moment. Can you recommend a HDMI-VGA converter that works?
Do you guys get sound when you conect using the mirror cast not using the dongle I get picture and no sound
I bought new Samsung TV series 6, and it have bulid in Screen Mirroring but in menu options on my Note 10'1 from 2012 i dont have this options.
There is some one hack or addons to my tablet to get this options?
Anyone know of a way to mirror the screen from the Maxx HD to a HDTV or Roku box? Something like the apple airplay equivalent. I just got a Roku box and have been playing around with it and I have used apps like Twonky Beam and Juice, which will beam content like music or pictures or video that's stored on the phone to the Roku. But I want to be able to stream anything that's on the screen, like play a concert from Concert Vault on the phone and stream it to the Roku.
Not sure anything like this is available.
Allot of new phones being released will have miracast. This is the technology standard you'll need for android. I'm guessing its a hardware thing so may not come to RAZR HD. ;( hope I'm wrong.

As far as I know Roku still doesn't support dlna, so I don't think you can beam to your TV via the Roku. There is a Plex channel but I think it only streams from a pc on your local network.

It looks like Doubletwist for android has airplay support, would work with Apple TV. Have to decide if it's worth it to return my Roku and get an Apple TV. It looks like Concert Vault is no longer free anyways so that was the main reason I wanted it, to stream concert videos from Concert Vault to the TV.

This phone does have dual band WiFi so it's possible we could see Miracast support in a future update. At least, that's what I'm hoping for because DLNA is kind of a hassle, and really not supported at all by today's streaming apps like Netflix. Recent news says Netflix and YouTube are looking into another protocol called DIAL, which is really an interface where you pick the video, but the box connected to the TV does the streaming from the internet. I think that is the future for this kind of thing. Why should I have to stream it from my phone? Same for music services.
If you're streaming from your own personal collection, then DLNA and PlugPlayer work well if you have a DLNA server and a receiver like a PS3.

I thought Miracast had to be built into the chip, like Tegra 3. Not sure a firmware update would do it.

The only thing required for Miracast is WiFi Direct support (which most devices released in the past year or two have). Assuming we see a 4.2 update, which has Miracast mirroring baked in, all we would need are receivers to display the content (it seems not many exist at this point).

as per the title. can you still use yr wifi connection if you're using miracast on the s4? for example, be streaming a movie over wifi from a NAS drive at home from the s4, then onto the tv via a ptv3000 or some other such miracast dongle?

Yes our phone has WI-FI during sending image to the smart tv.
I tested that yesterday, i was browsing with my phone and the image was streaming to my Smart Tv without any other accesory using screen miroring in the first TAB of our settings .
cool. Thanks for the info. does yr tv have inbuilt miracast or were you using a dongle like the ptv3000?

Is there a thread where people share experiences on the dongles in the market right now?
The PTV3000 seems to be the only reputable one available but I have read in multiple places that it has HDCP issues where you can't connect it behind an AV receiver. I want to know if there is any other options...
Inbuilt compatibility is nice but I want a dongle that I can carry while traveling...

my ptv3000 and lg bluray player BP730 both work fine for miracast. if having it plugged in behind an av receiver is causing issues then just use a short cable to bring it to the front or top of the device. i have mentioned the same on my video review on youtube a while back. i have reveiewed both the devices i mention.
