How To Use AllShare Play On Samsung Galaxy Note 2

This application wirelessly synchronizes your Samsung Galaxy Note 2 with your TV, streams content, and even keeps tabs on who calls or sends text messages with real-time, on-screen monitoring. Samsungs 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.

Note: You must first connect both of your communicating devices to the same Wi-Fi and be using an active/registered Samsung account prior to using this application.
