Streaming video from Galaxy s iii to Nexus 7 without wifi

I am curious.. I'm trying to save space on my Nexus 7 by putting all of my videos that i would want to watch on my nexus onto the SD card of my Sgs 3. I was curious if anyone knew of a way to be able to stream the videos while on the road from the sgs3 to the Nexus.

Im in the same boat here. I have all my movies in my 64gb card in my GS3 and i would like to access the files with my Nexus 7.So far i am able to do this but i have to use multiple apps. Here is the list:GS3 appsFoxFi (for bluetooth tether)aViaNexus 7PDANET for tablets (to connect to FoxFi via Bluetooth)MediaHouseFirst you will need to have a succesful bluetotth tether connection. Then share your media in aVia by setting the phone as a DLNA server. Once the media is being shared, launch MediaHouse on the tablet.You should see the phone information in Play From section. I hope this helps and im sure someone else will find a much easier way of doing this. The main thing i needed is to conserve as much battery and only access my media from my phone with my tablet without using another device outside of my GS3 and Nexus 7.

Media sharing between two android devices or ipad

hi,
i just bought the OTG cable and a 64 GB stick. so i thought watching movies stores on the stick on the nexus is a good thing but what if i want to watch them on the ipad with the bigger screen !!
on home wireless network thats no problem. just install a media server app and i could watch movies stored on the nexus on the ipad.
but is there a way to do that without having both devices in the same wireless network? i mean everywhere ?
wifi direct ? wifi tether ? bluetooth sharing ? or something ?
didnt got it working till now !
thx

[Q] nexus 7 wifi direct?

Hello I'm new to the world of android but I was left to believe that all android devices had the ability to use WiFi direct but after getting the nexus 7 in the post yesterday I spent much of the night trying to get the nexus to send video to my TV and files to my Samsung galaxy s3 but all with no luck. they connected together but they just won't send files or video plus the WiFi direct icon in the drop down options is no longer there. Do I have a faulty nexus 7 or dose the nexus not have the** ability to use WiFi direct and if so will there be a fix for this problem? I no its a lot of questions but I'm stuck and I use WiFi direct a lot and I need this to work on my nexus 7 . so if anyone can help me I would be extremely grateful for your help. Thank you

AFAIK, the Nexus 7 doesn't support adhoc wifi, something to do with wpa_supplicant.

Nexus 7 needs software to support the this. Samsung wrote their own for S beam. Don't know of any third party apps that are compatible with s beam.
Check out https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.j4velin.wifidirect for one that should work.

Thanks for your help people but I have fund a fix for my problem of sending video to my TV from my nexus 7 . I remembered I payed for a app from Google play about a year ago called imediashare I had forgot I had it I did not even install it on my new phone. But last night I installed it on my nexus 7 and to my joy it worked I can now stream mp4 and avi video to my TV. I'm still looking for a way to send and receive files using WiFi direct on the nexus 7 but it I find one I'll post it here. If someone else finds a way to do it please let me know here thanks

[Q] Nexus 7 to TV question

HI guys,
I just wanna know, how can i connect my device to tv?
Is there wired connection? what about wireless connection?
What are the things i need?
For example, my tv is Samsung LED Series 5?
What are the things i can do after connecting:
- can i access my device as a storage device?
- can i play a movie to my device and have it displayed in my tv?
Thanks in advance

With the app Mediahouse (pro) you can stream movies from your tablet to you tv (netwerk).
you can choose to stream content to your tablet of from your tablet to your tv (if i'm correct)

New or old n7? This is easily found anywhere online. Old n7 can't mirror it's screen to the TV except with a mod for miracast (this mod is new). This mod doesn't work on 4.3 yet and requires supported hardware on the TV too.
What does work is dnla or upnp, which sends local media to the TV - movies, music, photos that are stored locally not streamed. Many apps support this and lots of hardware does too.
New n7, you can use slim port cable to mirror the screen

I have the old one, there is no something like adapter, converter, cable that can connect the device to the tv? i cant seem to find any on mr. google, and yeah i saw that the new nexus 7 is capable of that, thanks

Chromecast may solve your problem if you can get your hands on one.

[Q] ［HELP］ Nexus 7 3g bluetooth tethering (as a host) to another android device

[Q] ［HELP］ Nexus 7 3g bluetooth tethering (as a host) to another android device
Dear all
I have got two devices:
Nexus 7 3g (2012), system 4.4 KRT16S, and it is rooted and as taughted by a post in this forum, I flashed a zip file to enable WIFI and bluetooth tethering.
Another device is Nexus 5
I want to make N7 as a host or say modem to share its internet connection to N5.
I want to use bluetooth tethering because it saves battery. What I did is paired N7 and N5, and on N7 in "settings"-"Tethering and hotspot", I enabled bluetooth tethering.
But on N5, in bluetooth, I click paired Nesus 7 icon, there is no profile icon, and no use for internet access check box.
Does any one how to make it work?
I know how to use a phone as host and let N7 to access internet via phone. It works well. But I really need to make N7 as a host and use bluetooth tethering.
Thank you very much!

Please help.
Has anyone successfully did this? Thanks a lot!

I also tried with another device, after paired with nexus 7, it also cannot see bluetooth profile where we can enable internet sharing.
