AllShare
This application wirelessly synchronizes your Samsung mobile
phone with your TV, streams content and even keeps tabs on
who calls or sends text messages with real-time, on-screen
monitoring. Samsung’s AllShare makes staying connected easy.
Allows users to share their in-device media content with other
external devices using DLNA certified™ (Digital Living Network
Alliance) Devices. These external devices must also be
DLNA-compliant. Wi-Fi capability can be provided to TVs via a
digital multimedia streamer.
Important!: You must activate Wi-Fi to use this application. For more
information, refer to “Wi-Fi settings” on page 180.
1. From the Home screen, tap (Applications) ➔
(AllShare).
2. Follow the on-screen prompts.
The application contains three separate streaming media
options:
• Play file from my phone on another player allows you to play
local device content on a Wi-Fi capable TV or playback device. The
phone can then be used as a remote to control playback.
• Play file from server on my phone allows you to receive and
playback media stored externally (server, laptop, etc.) directly on
your device.
• Play file from server on another player via my phone allows you
to “piggy-back” content playback on an external Wi-Fi TV/receiver.
Your phone retrieves content from an external wireless source (eg.,
server) and pushes it through to an external wireless destination
(eg., TV). The phone acts to both route the media and control its
playback (as a remote).

initial use. You must setup parameters such as connected Wi-FI,
