Sharing content with DLNA Certified™ devices

You can view or play media content saved in your phone on other devices such as, for example, a TV, a PlayStation®3, a computer, or a tablet. Such devices must be DLNA Certified™ by the Digital Living Network Alliance and must be connected to the same Wi-Fi® network as your phone in order for content to be shared.

After you set up the sharing of content between devices, you can, for example, print files from your phone on a printer, or view photos taken with your phone camera on a large-screen TV.

Preparing to play phone content on DLNA Certified™ devices

Before you can view or play media files from your phone on other DLNA Certified™ devices, you must set up file sharing on your phone. The devices you share content with are called client devices. For example, a TV, computer or tablet can act as client devices. Your phone works as a media server when it makes content available to client devices. When you set up file sharing on your phone, you must also give access permission to client devices. After you do so, such devices appear as registered devices. Devices that are waiting for access permission are listed as pending devices.

To set up file sharing with other DLNA Certified™ devices

1Connect your phone to a Wi-Fi® network.

2From your Home screen, tap Preparing to play phone content on DLNA Certified™ devices, then find and tap Connected devices.

3To edit your phone name, tap To set up file sharing with other DLNA Certified™ devices. This name will later appear on other client devices connected to the Wi-Fi network to identify your phone.

4Mark the Share content checkbox. To stop sharing files with other DLNA Certified™ devices appears in the status bar. Your phone can now work as a media server.

5Connect your computer or other devices to the same Wi-Fi® network as your phone.

6A notification appears in the status bar of the phone. Open the notification and set the relevant access permissions for other devices.

The instructions described above may differ depending on the client devices used. Refer to your client device User guide for more information. If the device cannot connect, check that your Wi-Fi network is working.

If you close the Connected devices view, the Media server function stays running in the background.
