Streaming - Cell Phone to TV?

Sure get a cable that fits your phone to HDMI plug on TV. Or Roku will do it.

Don't forget how fast you will gobble up your phone data limit doing that.

bgum, is that the same jack on the phone that you plug into for the headphones?

Bob, we got in early and have an unlimited data plan. One grandson can go thru 100 gig in a month. :S

Go to your phone store, tell them what you want to do, and they will sell you the correct cable.

Howdy!

We have the same plan bundle with DirecTV and AT&T unlimited data. We where advised that we could Mirror our device to stream video. We have iPhone and IPads and we use a cable (see link) as mentioned to stream Netflix and Amazon Prime to our TV's. You can also use a wireless device called Apple TV.

If you have a android device it is easier as you can mirror your device to your TV, we used Chromecast when we had android devices.

Dang, it sounds like i never give enough information.

The phones are Samsung 6 Edge

Does it have a mobile media port or micro hdmi port then you can stream via cable
If it has screen cast in the apps, you need a Wi-Fi to hdmi adapter to plug into the tv to receive the signal

like a roku or google chrome-cast etc..

Yes and no.. Since you ahve a "Dump TV' .. Well let me ask is it a modern Wide Screen with HDMI inputs and a USB port?

IF so and if your phone is the proper model and supports Screeasting. you MIGHT be able to use a Chrome Cast.... HOWEVER BEWARE.

I use a Chrome case for an hour a week.. It will not work if my internet connection goes downsince I'm streaming from within the LAN I should not need external internet but it does) so im' guessing it to Google which translates and downloads Or at least it uploads/downloads some This adds to your bandwith consumption.

If there is a Chrome case expert on here..... I'd love to know for sure.

Everything I have read says that the Samsung 6 model does not have MHL/HDMI output.
I think you are out of luck with that phone.
Shame since the older models had it.

To stream a Galaxy S6 to a TV, the TV needs a device connected to it that can mirror from the phone. A Roku can do this. In the setup menu, select Screen Mirroring and enable it.

On the phone, you want to use a feature called Smart View. That will let the phone stream your phone screen to the Roku, and Roku will display it on the TV screen.
