From your phone... to your TV?!

**Joe113** · 12-02-2012, 11:49 PM

Is it possible to somehow (whether wireless or with a wire) see what you are doing on your phone, to your TV? Thanks.

If you're one of the lucky ones with a Samsung Smart TV, you can S-Beam to the TV.. Otherwise, I believe you have to have an HDMI adapter hooked to an HDMI cord, which in turn is plugged into the HDTV..

From the Samsung website.

This is a direct link to the product page of Samsung where you'll find the adapter, and here's a helluva Easter Egg.. Register your phone on the Samsung website, and they'll give you 50% an accessory order through January 3rd, I believe is the date.. And you can get an HDMI cord at any electronic retailer..

Do you have any idea how much an HDMI cord costs at any electronic retailer?!?!

Monoprice.com is your friend people!!!

Will one work with my GS3?

Or .

**tat21985** · 12-03-2012, 12:51 PM

Yeah, both of those will work..

**IAmSixNine** · 12-03-2012, 01:53 PM

Damn, good find Joe!! I was just about to purchase some new cables for my new HT speakers I purchased! Now I can order this MHL adapter as well!!

**GrooveRite** · 12-04-2012, 11:34 AM

BTW, you need to also get the 5 pin to 11 pin micro usb adapter for the MHL adapter from Monoprice to work with your S3.

**ljbad4life** · 12-04-2012, 08:51 PM

well if you have an xbox, you can stream music, photos and video from your sgs3 as long as it's on the same wifi.

I couldn't find it either. I saw a few posts in the reviews for the adapter on their site stating that you needed it.

Thx. I'd like to find it, since it's got to be cheaper than $30, which would equal the price of the Samsung cable that includes both pieces for $40...

Wtf!! How, please share....?

**ljbad4life** · 12-06-2012, 01:13 AM

The simplest way I found is go into the gallery app or video player app. there will be a tv screen with the number 1 in it at the top right hand corner right (in the gallery app) and in the upper left hand corner in video app. the second you press it it pops up on the tv through the xbox. I don't have DLNA turned on or any other settings that I can see other than wifi on. hope that helps. Sometimes it takes a couple of minutes for the icon with the 1 in it to appear. hope that helps!

**Joe113** · 12-06-2012, 10:19 AM

Ohh yes I've done that before... But I'm saying if I wanna play a youtube video, not something that's already saved on my phone, I already knew you could do that lol.

**Herduc** · 12-06-2012, 10:37 AM

Don't buy the cheap one's in amazon because Samsung has a propietary pin connection that won't work on those.

The Rolle YouTube app will download YouTube videos to your phone. Then you can play them.

Any idea if your Xbox will play various file formatted videos from your S3 like mkv, x264, etc..??

you can play video that is saved to your phone or sd card via the video player app, that is what the first pic is showing.
