You can do this with Media Server that is already on your phone - http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/sup.../usemediaserverxperia/xperia-play?cc=is&lc=is
I don't get it. Why pay money for that device for something you already can do? :S It's like you're advertising..
Or don't know your own phone features

Heh I was gonna say the same thing can be accomplished using a $5 Bluetooth dongle as well.

Yeah I didnt see the price of it when I posted that lol. Had only read the article, what a joke expected it to be £10-£15.
So if I buy a cheap dongle will it just plug and play like that?

I didnt read your link, but if you mean connecting to a wireless network its not the same thing is it.

Not quite...
With all the due respect to your expertise please note:
The mobostick is a fundamentally different device in that it allows complete mobility and functionality. Simply put, you put it in your pocket and can turn ANY USB equipped playback device (anywhere - at your friend's place, in your car or at a boardroom without carrying your TV on your back from home), to a client to your Android smartphone or tablet. No DLNA devices dependencies on full compatibility...
Additionally, you do not need a router either. All you do is turn on your Access Point on your smartphone or Tablet and you have instant connection in the absence of a wifi router....
Also it is not restricted to just media files. It has simplified sharing which allows you to copy wirelessly files from your device and also beam ANY document to a playback device (presentations, spreadsheets etc...).
As you can see, there is no similarities and no restrictions - therefore there are no comparisons... Apples - Oranges or better, Apple - Android....

Can you walk into a friend's place who does not have a Wifi router, , or your car, turn on your Access Point on your device, and playback anything you want in a heterogeneous environment?
In contrast, you plug the mobostick to any USB equipped playback device and share ALL the files you wish from your phone or tablet, anywhere.....

Its nothing to do with having wifi its being able to connect via plug and play to components with a usb that are not on a wifi network.

Hi tech - especially Gen1 devices - have a certain cost to bring to market. Having said that though, when you think that sometimes we shell-out $30 and $40 for a set of hi-end cables for connectivity, it seems inexpensive to spend an additional $20 bucks on a mobostick and have all the wireless connectivity we want, anywhere, and without cables to trip over... Of course, we all have our own budgetary restrictions and it is all a matter of convenience and application.
On another note, you seem to be very well informed as to what is out there that is worth noting...

You have a router in your car?
Guys... you are all smurfs
Mobistick is a super gadget.. you dont know what are you talking about.
You can stream WITHOUT a router or wifi hot spot or anything. It is just connecting your android device without cables to your media player or any capable device that have a USB host and if this device can plays 1080p then you can stream 1080p without the phone to render or decode anything. You can play your game or make calls the same time while someone wathcing a 1080p movie from the storage of your phone.
omg.. you are all dummys

Asus, the maker of our N7, had to cut corners to come under $200 mark, so they specc'd a cheap WiFi/Bluetooth chip in the N7. Furthermore, they cut corners on QC, thus the atricious build quality and service issues.

I take this back. It doesn't happen all the time and a reset usually fixes it. Sometimes when I pair my Moga, my play store won't load. I can still surf but some apps wont connect. Rebooting fixes it until I attempt to pair again. Its not every time but about 1 out of 5 times.
I thought it was just the Moga Pivot app at first and I just use the universal driver now... but it still cuts wifi occasionally.
Probably just a quirk with 4.2.1

Hello,
I have 3 NFC tags, 1 I use near my front door to turn on and off WiFi and the other one on my bedside table to turn on alarm clock.
I have 1 more, and I can't find any uses for it.
I've been searching the internet for good ideas and I didn't find a useful one. Can you help me?

I put one on the satnav holder in my car. I attach the phone to it and it opens up car mode
i put the other just near the door and that starts the laptop up by sending a magic packet via wifi

Enable magic packet/wake on lan (WOL) on your computer
Find an app that can send these magic packets to your sleeping computer
Computer is awakened.
I think it works on ethernet LAN too...not sure on that, though.

Sounds like a neat idea, I'm going to venture off on this and see what other uses I can think of :3

use NFC smart Q to format the tag, then try writing to it

OK so the weirdest thing happened just now. I was charging my atrix HD when I went on it to check a phone number. Then it started opening apps and going on xda then other apps. I had no control over it. I couldn't even turn it off. I had to do the power and volume down thing to shut off. It was very creepy. I was just looking for a minute while the person did what they did. It was like when a person from dell controls your computer if something isn't working right. At first I thought it was being laggy but no! It kept going settings were changed and the person tried playing music on it! I turned it off before he could but the wierdest part is that I had turned of my wifi and set my phone on airplane mode so it can charge faster. No communication what so ever. Right now its off and I plan to keep it that way until someone can tell me what to do to protect myself. Also this could have been happening before i went to go check my phone. Which was like 15 minutes before I checked it. Please help

That's what I'm thinking. A bad app. The likely hood of it being hacked are slim.

android is very hard to hack probably a virus delete data in cwm
Best thing to do is just wipe.
Easy way to do it is to go to Settings->Privacy->Factory Reset
It was probably a bad app.
Click thanks if I helped!

Another thing to be aware of is I've noticed Motorola's screens (at least on the Atrix models) are kind of finnicky. If there's a little bit of moisture around they just start registering touches on their own sometimes.
With my battery life being... less than ideal.. I find myself plugging into all kinds of chargers along my travels. Some non moto chargers make my phone go nuts, exactly like what was described - apps opening etc. Have experienced this several times. Feel the other explanations are possible of course but highly unlikely.

There was a story on the news recently that someone's iPhone was hacked by trying to charge at a public charging station. I would be weary of these charging stations.

Airport WiFi connections are VERY insecure. Basically they monitor everything that goes through. Text messages, calls, anything. Maybe they also have access to control phones?

I agree with above post non oem chargers can make the phone act funny especially the cheap dollar store chargers get an oem cable the you will know that it will work for charging and data.

Stock 3.05.651.6. I usually send files to my computer via Bluetooth, but since one of the last updates when I go to share anything via Bluetooth to my paired computer, it just searches for devices and doesn't show my paired devices until I shut Bluetooth off then right back on again.
Anyone have this issue, or hear of it?
