Allshare facility - how to use?
Hello,
I have a Samsung GS2 and am trying to use the allshare facility . However it appears that you need to use a wifi network. I have tried using the phone's wifi hotspot but it doesn't work (I have an unlimited data plan). It seems that it want's to search for a seperate wireless network but I don't have one. is there a way of using allshare either using the wifi hotspot or by using a cable? |

Allshare is a program designed to let you access media on your home PC using your mobile via your Wi-Fi network. It can stream videos from home PC to Phone and to other devices when the phone is attached. It is a media server similar to Twonky and others available from the Play Store.
What do you want to do with the program? |

I would like my ps3 to be able to link to my phone. Both are ok with Allstate, but when I turn Allstate on my phone, it searches for a wifi network. I want to use my portable wifi hotspot on my phone as I don't have broadband, but the phone can't do this?

are you just wanting to use your phone for tethering then?
Settings->wireless and networks more...->tethering and portable hotspot -> Portable wifi hotspot. |

Thanks again - It's not tethering as I can already do that.
It's just a case of using allshare to be able to stream the phone content through to my PS3. My problem is that when I activate Allshare on my phone, it looks for a wireless network. I wouuld like to use the portable wifi hotspot as that wireless network but I don't know how to do it. |

That is not possible because when the phone is being used as a Wi-Fi hotspot (for tethering) the Wi-Fi connection to any network is switched off. It cant be on two networks at the same time. It either works as a WiFi hotspot or it connects using WiFi to an exitsing network.
Hope this helps. But this lead to another thing, if you can help: Would the same problem exist if I were to buy a smart TV? Thank you for helping. |

It does, thank you. A shame because I got rid of my home broadband as my phone's internet performs better.
