Wondering if there is a hack or work around for full HDMI mirroring regardless of what app is running. Specifically I'm hoping to mirror the NFL Mobile app so I can watch redzone via HDMI on my TV.
Has anyone successfully been able to watch NFL Mobile via hdmi?
PLEASE, this is a huge letdown...
I was super disappointed too but for now I've found a work around. Grab the "Xternal Display" app from the market. Plug in your phone to your TV and run Xternal Display before launching NFL mobile. This worked for me.
That's great news. I'll have to give it a try. How is the quality?
Also I'm assuming you haven't tried this with a webtop interface? I was thinking about getting the HD doc but would want to be able to run NFL Mobile for sure.
I haven't tried it with webtop. The quality is okay, it's nowhere near HDTV quality but it's watchable. I probably wouldn't invite a bunch of people over to watch redzone or anything... but it's not bad.
I have been unable to get it work with the webtop.
Is there a setting somewhere to prevent NFL mobile from minimizing and asking if I'm still there? I don't want to get up off the couch to hit "yes" every few minutes if I'm streaming to me TV...
Does it work when you stream to the tv?
How do you get NFL Mobile to even run> It force closes everytime I open it!
Has anyone gotten an updated version of this app that is hacked?
They have forced us to upgrade!!

I'm on ICS and it doesn't work. I used it all last year with Xternal Display app and ever since they upgraded NFL mobile can't get pass the message popping up saying HDMI is plugged in. Any work around yet?

This would be a very nice thing to have working.
I thought it may be possible to change settings around with SQ Lite but I don't see NFL Mobile in SQ's databases.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I tried searching but I didn't have much luck...
Is it just not possible to mirror hulu plus via HDMI? The best results I found said that it's just a matter of processing power and even the Bionic isn't up to the task. It's nice being able to stream hulu on my phone, but it would be even better if I could just connect it to my TV to watch everything too.
If there is a way to mirror with hulu, I would appreciate any help is far as pointing me in the right direction to get this working. If it's simply not possible at this time, then I guess I'll just have to live with that fact lol.

I think I found the thread you're talking about. If you're talking about the xternal display app, then it doesn't seem to be working for me or I'm doing something wrong. I've tried enabling it before plugging in the hdmi cable and after plugging it in. If I ignore the stock mirroring pop-up window, it just displays the red moto logo on the TV. If I select the mirroring option in the stock pop-up, xternal display says an error occurred and then hulu displays the same message saying that mirroring is disabled.
i couldnt seam to get it to work, sorry. you can always flash the webtop hack and watch hulu thay way without any docks just hdmi cable. i know that works for sure cause i watch it that way myself

Thanks for confirming that doesn't work.
When you run it on webtop, are you using the hulu app or pulling up the hulu website? I tried running the app in webtop and it still pops up with the HDMI out disabled message.
from the website
So last night I noticed some odd behavior (I think?) from my Chromecast. I turned on my TV and my tablet and for whatever reason the Chromecast icon wasn't available on my Netflix app. I didn't think much of it and didn't have time to mess around with it since I just wanted to watch a quick show before bed, so I turned on my PS3 and started watching via the Netflix app. About halfway through the show I look at my tablet and it shows Chromecast in the notification bar as if the show is playing via Chromecast and not my PS3... so I hit the stop button because I thought the app was just misbehaving or something... and it actually stopped the video I was watching via PS3. I was pretty confused at this point and forget if I resumed the video using the Chromecast app or my PS3 remote but in any case it resumed on the PS3 (didn't switch inputs and start playing on Chromecast or anything). Has anyone else experienced this? Could CEC allow the Chromecast app on my tablet to "talk" to my PS3 or something?
I noticed this too. I can control Netflix on my ps3, on my tablet.
I guess it just detects other instances of Netflix across your network. It doesn't matter what device it's on.
I almost don't need to buy a chromecast now.
Apparently, this has been a feature for nearly a year:

Thanks for the info! I don't know how I didn't know about that since I try to keep up with news on cool features like this.
This also works for the YouTube app on the PS3.

Yeah, the YouTube app has for over a year had a similar button for smart TVs and Google TV. If you walk into a store like Future Shop that has a bunch of smart TVs, phones and tablets on the same wireless network you can actually load up the YouTube app and push video to their TVs. Much to their bemusement
So we're going on a cruise in a month, and with a little research, I discovered that Carnival has Samsung TV's in their stateroom. My question: has anyone ever successfully used S-Beam or Allshare to watch videos or view pictures on their cabin TV from their S5? I have a chromecast, but for the time being (until the update is released), it requires a wifi signal. There's no way in hell I'm going to pay the exorbitant internet fees that cruise ships charge, and I read that the hdmi ports on those TV's are "turned off" anyway. BUT, I also read that I could use the Samsung Remote Control app to change the settings on the TV to "Global" and then go from there. Any thoughts?
Does sbeam or allshare require permission to access the files? I have never used these apps for much so I don't remember if you have to send a signal to another device which then has to accept it to connect. If that is the case the ship probably has it set up where only specific devices are allowed to connect. I'm sure it can't hurt to call the company and ask if they can do something to help. Good luck tho.

In order to use allshare, the Samsung tv has to be a smart tv . Yes you can use your S5 remote control on those tv.

I just bought a one m8 to replace my old RAZR maxx . I do not have unlimited internet at my home but still have it on my Verizon phone. I use the micro HDMI to HDMI on my razr to mirror Netflix and hulu . I'm looking at the best but cheapest way to mirror the htc to my tv. Any good cables or has any one had luck with the new mirroring on chrome cast?
Chromecast works well and you can cast almost anything to it using the localcast app. This setup works well for me.

But I need to be able to keep the phone on 4g and the chrome cast would only be hooked up to my WiFi for updates and not streaming. Would the mirroring work like that?

I use a screen beam pro. Works great for my phone and tablet. Mirrors the whole screen.

What kind of internet do you have at home? Sounds like a curious situation.
You can use wifi hotspot on the phone and connect your chromecast to that network, that way you'll have your 4g and be able to cast netflix to your TV.
Hey Guys,
I've been using a 256GB Exynos Note 8 as my first ever Samsung Smartphone for almost a year now, and I've been really loving the extremely versatile featureset it packs. It has hands down been the most useful Smartphone I've ever had after over half a decade of jailbroken iPhones and just switching to Android on a OnePlus One back in 2014. So much so, I've literally been using it as a Pocket PC for most of my computing needs, relying less and less on my Surface Pro 2.
However, there has been one pet peve that just keeps getting in the way of me enjoying my Note 8 to the fullest; whenever I try to miracast Netflix running on my Note 8 to my Microsoft Wireless Display Adaptor connected to a big screen (be it in my living room, bed room, or a hotel room), I only get audio and subtitles, no video Everything else -- including presentations, games and YouTube -- stream smoothly and very reliably from my Note 8 to whatever big screen I want, way better than even my Surface Pro 2 (1st party hardware). However, I just can't get Netflix to stream over miracast from my Note 8. Oddly enough, it works from my Surface Pro 2 with the latest Netflix app from the Microsoft Store.
Any genius out there have some suggestions on how to get Netflix working over miracast? I don't want them chromecast as they require their own internet connection instead of simply functioning via WiFi direct. Thanks in advance.
Try loading Netflix, then only starting the miracast?
Are you plugging this adapter into a TV at a hotel etc? Or is it your home TV?
The casting is something Samsung needs to fix its quite fiddly. If I'm casting to a TV I use Smart Things.
I think you should be running the app you're trying to cast from first. Then when you click the option it should recognise your MWDA.
I used to use my Surface Tablet to cast Netflix and it was a nuisance, so I gave up and plugged it directly into the TV and used a Bluetooth mouse.

Sorry for the very late feedback, for some reason never saw a notification in the XDA Labs app despite responses to my thread.
I just attempted this but all it does is still show a black screen with audio over Miracast, while the video appears on my Note 8's screen.

I tried it both at a camp/hotel and at home. Doesn't matter which TV I'm plugging it into, it's still the same end result; my Note 8 reliably connects over Miracast to it, but Netflix refuses to display.

Hmm, isn't that using Chromecast though? My Wireless Display Adapter doesn't show up when I attempt to add a device in SmartThings.

The problem might be the MWDA. I never used one, I used a 3rd party display port to HDMI cable when connecting my Surface to a TV.
I cast apps from my Note 8 to my TV using Smartthings app. Or if you click the button which says 'button order' for your notification shade, there should be one that says 'smart view' I have successfully cast Netflix on my phone to my TV this way.

The MWDA works perfect and reliably for ANYTHING else, besides Netflix. SmartThings is casting via Chromecast in your Smart TV, that's why it works with Netflix.

That's exactly how I cast from my Note 8's screen to the MWDA, again, it works reliably with everything else but Netflix. The difference is it's using the Miracast protocol in the case of my MWDA, whereas the one to your Smart TV is using the Chromecast protocol (SmartView supports both).
Anyone else have any suggestions on getting Netflix to work over Miracast?
