Streaming from phone through TV

On a Android phone can you use the transfer/charge cable to stream movies/youtube etc. to the USB input on your TV? I know it would depend on the TV and possible what version of the android os but has anybody tried it? My phone doesn't have a micro hdmi output to use.
Thanks

If the TV could mount the phone as a USB device it could probably play movies...not true streaming but it might work.

Bluetooth streaming from phone where is A2DP SINK?

I've had this computer for over a year now and have never been able to stream audio to it from my iphone5, it pairs easily.
Ive been checking for updated drivers for it for awhile, but the last updated driver @ HP is from 2013. I went to Media Tek's website today after i found out they bought Ralink and found there updated driver dated 2014 and tried it, but i still can't stream from phone to pc. I also tried uninstalling the driver and then installing a generic driver but there is none listed. What can i do to get this functioning?

Hello @Late4Dinner,
I understand that you have been having issues streaming from your iphone5 on your HP ENVY h8-1534 Desktop PC running Windows 8.1. Are you able to sync and stream via bluetooth to any other device on your computer? Have you tried it on the original operating system Windows 8? I would advise you to use all the drivers that are on the HP ENVY h8-1534 Desktop PC Drivers page. As these are the driver specifically designed for your computer they will have the best chance of working for you.
If you could answer the questions I have raised in this post I will endeavor to look into a solution for you. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!

Possible to stream from phone to laptop?

I'm guessing the answer to my question is "no" but thought I'd ask anyway in case I'm missing something.
Without jailbreaking, is it possible to stream my songs from my iPhone 4 to my laptop using a bluetooth or wireless network?

Since all iTunes content on your iPhone should be in your iTunes library on your computer, why not play the music with iTunes on your computer? You can stream from your iTunes library on your computer via wi-fi, but not from your iPhone, and you can use your iPhone as a remote for your iTunes on your computer.

Audio streaming from phone to yoga 2 pro via bluetooth issue

Hi everyone,
I have got a Yoga pro 2 recently and the problem I'm having is that I;m unable to stream audio from my Nexus 5 phone to the pc through bluetooth. The device and the pc paired normally during setup. Though I find it odd that when I turn off bluetooth connectivity on the phone and turn it back on, the pc does not automatically connect so I have to unpair or remove and redo a new find and pair for the two. Ok, now the problem is after the connection is set nothing happens and there is no way to stream the audio to the yoga pc running windows 8.1. On my other pc, a Sony Vaio, also running win 8.1 pro (upgraded from win 8 pro) , once the phone and the Sony are paired via bluetooth, a windows pops out to immediately play the audio. I have check all the bluetooth drivers and they are up to date, and I even downloaded bluetooth drivers from lenovo support but no change. What's missing? Why can I not stream audio via BT? Why nothing happens when connected?

Bluetooth tethering is sharing your phone's internet connection with the computer, that's why there is an extra charge. This is not what you want. I would go into the bluetooth settings of both your phone and computer to make sure you are not missing something. Also, an easier solution (bluetooth is unbearably slow for file transfer) may be to look into the app called AirDroid. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sand.airdroid&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5zYW5kLmFpcmRyb2lkIl0.

Why does the connection drop every other second when streaming from iplayer through safari to apple tv?

I am trying to listen to iplayer radio through apple TV from my macbook air. When I switch back to just using the macbook the stream is consistent and works well but when I switch to airplay mode the sound stream literally drops in and out every other second. Ha! I have just gone into iTunes and I have the same issue!?
I have checked for software updates on both apple devices and restarted my router but still I have the same issue.
This is really annoying as this is the main reason I got apple TV! Can anyone help??

This may sound stupid, but I'm gonna throw it out there anyway. Is it possible, that if I have enough junk on my desktop it might disrupt the signal? It seems odd, but it kind of looks like my signal is strong and relatively steady now that I've cleaned my desktop. I do tend to get very cluttered. I use a lot of reference images and save text clippings to use later... it just piles up very quickly.
So, I wonder if all that extra effort my system has to do keeping up with the junk might have something to do with the drop outs?

Sending Commands to Comp from Phone through Mail Problem

okay so I want to be able to send commands to my computer from my phone. the best way I found to do this is via mail. so I would say send a email saying "weather Madison Wi" then it would recieve the email and send me the result. Problem is when i run the code it only pauses itunes then does nothing else. idk why. heres my code any help would be appreciated:
on performmailaction(info)
-- see if iTunes is playing
set itunes_playing to false
tell application "System Events"
if (get name of every process) does not contain "iTunes" then
set itunes_playing to false
else
tell application "iTunes"
if player state is playing then set itunes_playing to true
end tell
end if
end tell
-- pause iTunes if needed
if itunes_playing is true then tell application "iTunes" to pause
tell application "Mail"
set the_messages to |SelectedMessages| of info
repeat with a_message in the_messages
set the_sender to extract name from sender of a_message
set the_subject to extract name from subject of a_message
set the_content to extract name from content of a_message
if (junk mail status of a_message) is not true then
say "Mail from " & the_sender
if the_sender is "My Name here" then
if the_content contains "weather" then
get the second word of the_content
set s to the result
get the third word of the_content
set c to the result
set temp to get_temp(s, c)
set theNewMessage to make new outgoing message with properties {subject:"Weather", content:"Current temp is : " & temp & " in " & c & "," & s, visible:true}
tell theNewMessage
make new to recipient at end of to recipients with properties {address:"my sms number"}
send
end tell
end if
else
set theNewMessage to make new outgoing message with properties {subject:"New Mail", content:"New Mail From: " & the_sender, visible:true}
tell theNewMessage
make new to recipient at end of to recipients with properties {address:"[email protected]"}
send
end tell
end if
end if
end repeat
end tell
-- resume iTunes if it was playing before
if itunes_playing is true then tell application "iTunes" to play
end performmailaction
on get_temp(stat, cit)
tell application "Safari"
activate
set state to stat
set town to cit
set URL of document 1 to "http://www.findlocalweather.com/forecast/" & state & "/" & town & ".html"
set page to text of document 1 as string
set pos to offset of "Temp: " in page
set final_pos to the offset of "°F" in page
set pos to pos + 8
set temp to characters pos thru (final_pos - 1) of page as string
quit
return temp
end tell
end get_temp

I'm not sure why you think you need to pause iTunes as part of the script, but I'll leave that for now.
The problem may be that Mail.app cannot send a new message while it's processing a rule via AppleScript. There are numerous discussions about this, both here and elsewhere, so it may well be that there's nothing wrong with your script, it's just how it is. Take a look at this thread for some suggestions.

Bluetooth audio from my phone through BT4000P

I've had this head unit for about a year, and until recently streaming music from Google Play Music via bluetooth worked perfectly.
Recently though it stopped displaying song/artist/album info on the display. It will only say BTA even if I cycle through with the 'display' button. Perhaps there's some setting I messed up? I looked through the operating instructions and couldn't find anything that might do this. It did say that streaming from some devices wouldn't display information on the screen, but this exact phone pairing did until recently.
Any ideas? Phone is a Samsung Galaxy Nexus.

Please check if Google Play Music app has any available updates. If app is updated, you may reset the bluetooth connection between two devices (disconnect and reconnect connectivity).
If issue recurs then car stereo may require service. Visit the link below and enter the complete model number MEXBT4000P to check for available service options.

Success!! There truly is a light at the end of the tunnel. Apple support really did come through and I am successfully back into my account. Ready to purchase more music. I followed the instructions, with patience I thought I lost, submitted my problem, someone emailed me back within two days and all is now perfect. Thanks again Apple.
To all the frustrated users out there, don't lose hope!!!

My wife and I both have the new iPhones. Is there a way to set up two separate iCloud accounts but have photo stream from both phones sync with one family mac? So we don't want to share contacts or anything else, just photos... Thanks in advance

If you turned off Contacts wouldnt that mean that the Contacts would no longer be backed up to iCloud as well? That would make it a pain when upgrading a phone to not easily pull contacts back down.

My phone was stolen and I discontinued cell service to the phone through my provider. Before discontinuing service, I locked my phone from the icloud. Now that it is no longer being serviced by the service provider, will it remain locked?

Thanks, James. Sadly, I had not upgraded to iOS 7 as I only had an iphone 4 and those I knew with the 4 who upgraded had major issues with battery life, so I decided not to upgrade. However, I know the phone was locked because the new "owner" called and hung up on me while calling the number I listed in the "This phone is stolen message" set by the cloud. Are you saying that my phone will remain locked if they don't know how to break into it? Or are you saying that it will no longer stay locked once I turned off service to the phone?

Hi I deleted my photos on my phone in photo stream. How can I get them to download back onto my phone through I cloud. Thank you

Could you play a live stream from safari to apple tv without going through itunes?

could you play a live stream from safari to apple tv without going through itunes?

There is no way to stream Safari content, with or without iTunes, to your AppleTV.
The only way would be to use a mirroring feature given that you have an AppleTV 2nd gen or newer and a 2011 or newer MBP running mountain lion.
If not, some third party software like AirParrot can also gives you way to mirror your MBP display on the TV.

Streaming video from phone

I want to stream video from phone's cam to a server.
I found MMAPI, with RecordControl I can:
try
Player player = Manager.createPlayer("capture://video ?encoding=gray8");
player.realize();
RecordControl rc = (RecordControl)player.getControl("RecordControl");
ByteArrayOutputStream output = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
rc.setRecordStream(output);
rc.startRecord();
p.start();
//Thread.currentThread().sleep(5000);
rc.commit();
p.close();
catch (Exception e)
this way the video is in "output" only after "commit()", then I could send it. Is there any way to have real streaming??

What do you understand with "real streaming"? Do you refer to frequency of transmission? The real time streaming is "not so real". If you put a small sleep time you will get a higher frequency and it will simulate a "real-time" streaming. To speed up your transmission, use UDP protocol instead of TCP, because media streaming in all techs is on top of UDP.
