[General Questions and Answers] ConstantineXVI:
AFAIK, there's currently no way to do a raw audio stream from Android over the network; and I can almost guarantee you it won't be possible at all without root. Closest you could get would be getting a Bluetooth audio sink (like this or the official Nexus home dock) and hooking that to your hifi. There are apps to stream local content via DLNA, but there isn't anything to stream arbitrary audio in Android.

EDIT: Some PC Bluetooth stacks may also be able to receive A2DP audio as well, but it's not a universal feature.

Check out mecanto, it's an app that syncs your music to the cloud and then you can stream it from the cloud and play on your phone.
[General Questions and Answers] xdawoods:
I'm amazed that there's no interest in this. I'm sure I haven't searched enough and so probably should pick on a more current thread. But it seems a no-brainer to me to want to go this direction. Everyone discusses streaming from PC to phone. Why would I do that instead of just listening to the PC? Now if I could stream from phone to PC... I have many phone apps that let me listen to unlimited tunes and radios from all over the world, which of course I use outside the house. But using it in this way in the house, my phone would not only be the source, but the "remote" -- the controller. Walk around the house w/ just the phone. Beats my carrying my Squeezebox "portable" radio, as I do. Or maybe I need to pay $150 for the Squeezebox solution, their remote controller... Just don' get it.
[General Questions and Answers] hibijibis:
yes. i also think this is a great idea. there a heaps of pc to android threads.

usage scenario i am thinking.

walking around with device. the device contains song files and player. if that player had a button like stream to ie desktop, home theatre speakers, etc etc. that would be great. sorta like wmp 12 stream to button if anyone is familiar with that. bluetooth has the restriction of range so ideally wifi would be the better solution. curious to know if anyone has come across any updates to this.

Streaming from Android To SERVER STREAMING

Is there any application also in beta test to let the android phone act as Media encoder to stream to a Server what's coming on your phone?

On Iphone platform there an interesting app LIVU (stevemcfarlin.com/livu/features.html).

Would be nice to have one similar on Android phone

Theres an app called Twonky which acts as media server on your Android. It lets you stream upnp to whatever device you have capable such as Apple TV, Playstation etc. I have an AC Ryan Playon HD player which is hooked to my local network and I am able to recieve and play media through this to my HD TV from my Desire over wifi.

[General Questions and Answers] dazandsun:
A simple solution that worked for me from a windows pc to android was was using ES File Explorer (free), choose LAN from dropdown (top left), add new server, scan - it should then pick up your shared network.

Then navigate to your chosen movie, play with moboplayer. Voila.

If it doesn't play straight away make sure moboplayer is set to soft decoder.

Sometimes you may have to press and hold your movie icon, open as video, choose moboplayer.

Still no way to stream every sound that your android device plays to your PC? Is it not technically possible to create and android server that sends a raw stream of sound to the PC over wifi?

All the solutions linked in this thread requires you to actively choose what mp3 to listen to. I want to stream notifications/spotify/radio/everything that is played.
[General Questions and Answers] chris115379:
I would be very interested in this too.

Anyone knows somethin like that?
[General Questions and Answers] dsp4:
Yeah, this is exactly what I need too. A bit like the Windows mixer that lets you choose which output device you want to use. Not sure if it's possible, but it would be pretty awesome to be able to switch between headphones, phone's speaker, bluetooth, AirPlay, and DNLA or some other LAN-based streaming solution.

I'm trying to make music listening as easy as possible at home. Right now there's a Windows server/HTPC running 24/7, from which we can listen music, but we need to use it's attached mouse/kb (or teamviewer) to start music playback. This is far from perfect.

I installed Shairport4w on the PC, which basically turns it into an AirPlay speaker. It works fantastically with my wife's iPhone/iPad. She can just tap the AirPlay button in her music app, select the PC, and the music starts playing from the HTPC's speakers.

Now I'm looking for the equivalent on Android. Ideally, it should work with Google Play Music, but so far, I think the only solution is to use Bluetooth (ie. make your PC act as your car stereo does).

[General Questions and Answers] cronussmith:
This thread is a bit old but I have found a solution using Apples airplay. Download an airplay app from the play store (AirAudio or Airtunes) and then download shairport4w on your pc (i assume you are using a pc). Airplay requires root access on the phone but after rooting it can stream all audio that would play through the phone's speaker to your pc via shairport and then out through your pcs speakers! The apps are both trial versions and shairport4w is free so you can see if this is what you're looking for!

I have only tried it to stream Deezer audio to my pc but it seems to work!

Hope this helps!

I'm surprised more people don't request this feature.

This is a useful tool for professional staff that utilize headsets at a computer workstation (already) and wants access to all the sound that may only be available through mobile app only output, wants a better control UI that a desktop can't provide or prevent inappropriate images(from music services) on their workstation.

- Android apps such as Umano(audible articles being read aloud) are only available on our portable devices. There are no files to share or stream like a typical mp3 file that can be put on some cloud.

- Mixes on 8tracks have inappropriate half dressed ladies oftentimes on them - not good on your workstation screen for everyone to see.

This app works better than using bluetooth for me, using Air Play.
[Captivate General] asshopo:
Has anyone tried setting up their sdcard to be a bootable USB Drive that oyu can boot a PC from?

Idea being:

1) Install bootable systemrescuecd or memtest on your sdcard

2) Plug your phone into the pc via usb, mount your sdcard as usb mass storage

3) Turn the computer on and have it boot systemrescuecd or memtest from the phone's sdcard.

I've tried it, but my desktop, eeepc or laptop do not see the Captivate's USB mass storage as a boot device. It has been done on a G1 (since I can't post links, google "g1 pc boot" and click the first link) and I'm trying to do the same on Captivate.

Any ideas?
[Captivate General] derek4484:
I dont know, but it seems to me that you would have to make the internal sd card in it bootable. I'd try using the HP USB formatting tool. I use it all the time to make usb thumbdrives bootable. After doing that I'd think you might be able to boot from it.
[Captivate General] asshopo:
I did. I didn't use the HP one, but I used multibootisos, which worked fine on my physical thumbdrive. The same process didn't work on the captivate.
[Captivate General] boborone:
Possibly a partition of the drive might work. Then you could format iit to work for your needs.

Nice idea btw

[Captivate General] asshopo:
I'm thinking there is an issue (atleast with my phone) showing up as 2 drives. I dunno, I'm fussing with it and getting nowhere.
[Captivate General] astrocrep:
You get two drives because you have the internal memory and external memory mounted.

When you boot you computer, you need to be able to select the specific usb device to boot off of in bios. Usually you can hit F12 during boot to select it.
[Captivate General] asshopo:
Right.. as I said, it worked fine with the physical thumbdrive.

I get why the captivate shows up as 2 devices.

I know how to select the boot device and all that. I'm saying neither of the captivate drives show up as a bootable device despite being setup exactly like the physical thumbdrive that does work as a boot device.
[Captivate General] rrrrramos:
Maybe you guys can help me out here. This is the second time this has happened. All of the sudden, without warning, all my contacts are gone. I sent a text not 10 mins ago, at that point everybody who I'd texted had their names and photos next to the texts. Now, I'm left with just a bunch of numbers. I checked my "Contacts" app, and it's empty. It did the same thing about a week ago, but it was early and I had a Nandroid backup from the night before, so I only lost about two texts. My last backup is from two days ago, too much for me to restore back that far. Any idea a) WHY this would happen, as randomly as it did? and b) How to get back any contacts that might not transfer from a GMail/Facebook Sync? Would this be a problem with the phone, or something I did to the phone that would make it do this literally randomly?
[Captivate General] rrrrramos:
I guess I'll throw in that I mainly use Handcent, have ChompSMS on here as well, and haven't used the default messaging app since I downloaded Handcent. I also am no longer able to sync Facebook it appears.

Also, contacts are the only thing missing. All other data is still there, along with all apps and even my homescreen layout is still intact.
[Captivate General] kangi26:
Check your sync options. On a different device, I've had the Contacts come unchecked, and when the phone sync'd it erased them all
[Captivate General] rrrrramos:
I checked everything after it happened, there were no changes. I didn't have it set up for Auto-sync either, so it shouldn't have just randomly synced to nothing. And that wouldn't explain why my phone and SIM contacts aren't accessible either.

Anyways, it happened again today. I noticed it right after I replied to a text using LauncherPro's new Messaging widget. I'm wondering if that's not the common factor in the three times that it's happened. If it happens again, it'll be getting unrooted, restored to stock and exchanged under warranty. The most intrusive thing I've done to this phone is try to get a lagfix to work (that didn't even work), and I doubt the side effects of that would include random contact deletion...

can anyone please tell me how to do fastboot system -w. ?

step by step and treat me as a beginner....
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raven_raven:
You have to have installed sdk on your computer and installed adb drivers for your phone (you should find out how install drivers on your own). I assume you are using Windows as 90% users of PC, so I will explain how to do it on Windows.

Download SDK HERE

Unzip it to C:\ (or wherever you want, just remember path)

Open windows terminal (command) by typing "cmd" in search bar in start menu (if you are using windows Vista or 7, on XP it's in the All Programs -> Accesories -> Command line (or sth like that))

Power off your phone and boot it with BACK + POWER combination

Plug your phone to PC

In command type (do not type "*" I included for explanations):

cd android-sdk-windows/tools *
fastboot devices **
fastboot erase system -w

* or any other path where your sdk is placed

**to make sure that your phone is properly connected, it should give you something like -serial number- fastboot

Now you can press MENU to poweroff phone

But honestly, I was expecting some help in my rather bad situation, not more questions about things which you can really google easily -_-.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] billquinn1:
You may want to do

#df -h

and make sure your system partition is not ridiculously small. If its less than 90 you will have trouble.

Outside of that, maybe reroot but I doubt it will help. You may have corrupt areas in the internal memory.

Can you install and run Dwang? That has always worked for me when nothing else would.

That is all I can think of now I will give it some thought.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] billquinn1:
Maybe erase every thing then flash it back

fastboot erase system -w

fastboot erase recovery

fastboot erase boot

That will leave you with just fastboot working.

You will need to reflash recovery and every thing. Stay away from nandroids until you have it all working. You may accidentally reinstall whatever is the problem.

Good luck.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raven_raven:
Thank you very much for advices, I will try every of them. One question though: I know how to flash recovery, but how to restore boot? Is it flashed with ROM?

And is there a possibility to test an internal memory? It can be it... However EVERY ROM should not work, but FEW are working (but only for one boot) and one (CM6 RC3) is booting flawlessy every time.

Results of

df -h

are standard to Haykuro:

90M of /system

89.8M of /data

30M of /cache

I will try to flash Dwang and see what results are.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raven_raven:
I just rerooted my phone. I used DREAIMG.nbh to back to stock recovery, bootloader, ROM and radio, then gained root, then slowly upgraded everything to previus state (Amon_Ra + Haykuro + .26i radio). Finally I flashed SuperD... again, same bootloop. I am disappointed and I have no idea what is going on :(. I guess my G1 is saying me "enough of this flashing, I'm tired" and I should stick with stock 1.6...
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndDiSa:
Did you overclock your last ROM? I am only guessing, but when I restart my phone, SetCPU shows me always some "standard values" (245/576). What will happen if the CPU clock is set too high? I imagine, this may cause a kernel panic and a boot loop. Only guessing ...
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raven_raven:
Nope, I wasn't using OC since IMO this was only helping to drain battery faster ;). Even if it was OC, I think that corrupted kernel was wiped many flashes ago when I was unrooting or even further in past, when I was doing thousand wipe and fastboot erase system -w.

I come to conclusion that internal memory of my G1 must've became corrupted. This is only explanation of what's going on.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndDiSa:
What will happen if this information is written into some hidden space which is not wiped, like the reboot to recovery flag when flashing radio from recovery?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raven_raven:
It may be that some parts of ROM is not wiped even if I did all this unrooting and rooting stuff. The question is: How to find it and how to get rid of it? Man, if some kind of genius like Firerat or Cyanogen looked at this thread :P.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] purplxhaze420:
an old SD card did this to my old G1... not exactly this but something eerily similar. G1 bootoops, depending on rom... very slow on the ROMs that worked, etc..etc.. and the new G1 i have running now is doing the same thing.. time for a new SD. GET YOURSELF A NEW (not "another") get yourself a NEW class 6! micro. Worked for me for a little, then lots of flashing, partitioning, and all that heavy wear... now its getting slow again. These SDs wear down quickly is seems. This phone has a high-speed SDHC card slot for a reason -- why not put it to it's full potential. Another thing that happened to me was that the app "switch pro widget" fried my phones wifi. Makes no sense to you does it? But it happened, and - to me... it didn't seem like coincidence. I went to turn the wifi on via the widget, and the bar turned a shaded green while it turns on, then once connected it went dark green. Well i went to turn it on, and it got the the shaded green and said "updating wifi status" or and it never connected --- and my wifi never worked again. After that i would always get "ERROR" when i turned my wifi on. Flashed tons of new ROMS, new SDs, wiping over and over, new wifi hardware (board and coax cable)... ANYWAYYYY the conclusion is that for some reasons -- these G1's and their external memory (the SD) hold onto info somewhere and i believe theres potential for SOMETHING to become corrupt that we dont even know about, that does not show up on logcat, that stays with the phone....

then there is always potential for a HARDWARE ISSUE that we could be unaware of... at this point, for you and me it seems like kind of a guessing game lol.
