Galaxy S2 attach to TV through DLNA

With Galaxy S2, you could easily stream your music, videos and photos on your phone to any DLNA enabled devices like TV over WLAN. The AllShare service from Samsung allows you to stream all the full HD videos, music and pics across any devices that support AllShare services, such as PC, TV, mobile phone, and digital camera.

In this post, I’ll guide you how to share videos, music and pics from Samsung Galaxy S2 to TV though wifi network.

Since my LCD TV [Panasonic] doesn’t support DLNA, I used Sony Blu-ray player [Sony BD-370] to stream the data to TV from Galaxy phone. Follow the below steps to stream data from phone to TV via DLNA enabled bluray player.

Connect the Blu ray player to the same WLAN network to which your SGS2 is connected. That means if you’re using a wireless router, connect your galaxy s2 to it’s wifi network and attach the LAN cable from router to your DLNA compatible player like TV/Bluray.

Open the application Allshare in your SGS2 and you’ll see a connected symbol.

Now make sure the internet connection settings are ok in your TV. If it’s ok, you’ll see the I.P address assigned as shown in the image below.

Now start the AllShare application on your phone and check the connection server settings in TV.

Your Samsung Galaxy S2 will be shown under the server name along with the Mac address as shown in figure below.

Now you’ll be able to browse through the videos and photos on your phone from your TV. For accessing the videos from mobile on TV through DLNA, go to the videos tab and click on the mobile device which appears, in my case it was GT-I9100 which was indeed my device name.

Similarly, for browsing the photos on Galaxy S2 via wifi from TV, go to the photo tab and select the mobile device which appears.

Connecting Galaxy S2 to TV via DLNA is very easy and doesn’t require much effort. So try it and if you encounter any problem post them in the comment section below.

P.S: Other connectivity option for SGS2 is through MHL cable from Samsung, which can be connected to the HDMI input of the TV.

How can I Make free of charge International Calls from PC to Mobile anyplace in the world

You can now make free calls from your pc to any mobile network allover the world. All you need is a Yahoo messenger, a mic and a decent internet connection. I’m now using this free call method for over a month now and the great thing is that, this trick can be used to make unlimited call to mobiles all over the world and not limited to United States. It even works to make free local mobile calls in India :)

So how do we make a call from pc to mobile phone for free?

Install Yahoo messenger, incase you don’t have it (go for the latest one which have voice support)

Sign into your yahoo messenger.

Configure your microphone and headset (don’t use speakers as it cause disturbances)

Inside your Yahoo messenger dial 18003733411 and press enter (as shown in figure).

Now a small window pops up like the one shown below.

An operator greets you with a recorded welcome message along with an advertisement and asks you to select one of the Free411 service. Just hear the services options until they say the last one as “Free Call”. When you hear this, don’t press any number on your keyboard and instead SAY “Free call” loudly on your microphone connected to your PC.

After this voice message is detected by their system, they will run a short advertisement of their sponsor and make sure you don’t press any number at this time.

WAIT UNTIL YOU HEAR THIS MESSAGE “Please dials the phone number country code first, don’t forget to dial 1 for North America”

After you hear this message, immediately dial the destination number of your choice along with the country code.(eg. for north America it’s 1 and for India it’s 91)

Your call will get connected and you can talk for 7 minutes continuous for free. When it gets disconnected, repeat the same procedure again. You can make multiple and unlimited calls with this service.

It was never easy to make a free international call like this before.

So what’s the catch?

FREE411 service toll-free number is based in USA. This Company gets paid for the advertisements from sponsors.

Are there any limits on the number of call which we can make?

No. There is no limit on the number of free calls which can be made through this system.

So enjoy this trick to make free international and local calls and make sure you don’t abuse the system.
