Use Media server
Share media files in your phone with other devices over a shared Wi-Fi® connection. When your phone is connected to your home network via Wi-Fi®, and has Media server turned on, other client devices connected to the same home network can access, view, and play images saved in your phone. A client device can be, for example, a computer with client software, a camera, TV, or a PlayStation®3. All devices must be DLNA™ (Digital Living Network Alliance) certified.
To use Connected devices:
- Connect your phone to a Wi-Fi® network.
- From the Home screen, tap the Application screens icon.
- Find and tap Connected devices. Tap the server name to edit your phone name if needed. This name will appear on your client device(s) later to identify your phone.
- Mark the Share contents checkbox. The Media server icon appears in the status bar. Your phone can now work as a media server.
- Connect your computer, or other client devices, to the same Wi-Fi® network.
- Activate the client software installed on your computer. Find and select your phone as the server.
- A notification appears in the status bar of the phone. Tap it and set the access permissions.
- Transfer to, and show your phone content on client devices. It may take a couple of minutes to show all the content on the client devices if there are many photo or music files saved on the phone.
- To minimize Connected devices, press the Back key. The connected devices stay running in the background.
- To disconnect from the server, go to the Connected devices view in the phone and unmark the Share contents checkbox.
Note: The instructions described above may differ depending on the client devices. Also refer to your client device User guide. If the device cannot connect, check that your home network is working.
