Flashed my S2, put a new ROM on it and the battery life is class now. Got 30 hours out of one charge this weekend, and just leaving work with 69 percent battery having taken it off charge at 6am and been on here a canny bit.

If your TV supports DLNA then yes. I use Apple TV but you can also use other hardware if you have it.

 

Cheers Chez I'll have a play with that today. Basically just want to sit on the couch and play tunes through the blu ray player. (Which is wireless)

Take it back and get an Android phone. :lol:

 

What have you actually tried to do? You haven't told us what steps you're taking to try and make this happen.

 

I wouldn't be at all surprised if this was an Apple thing designed to make you get Apple TV though.

 

Perhaps you're about to learn that Apple stuff only "just works" when you buy other Apple stuff for it to just work with.

Really getting pissed off. Just want to be able to play what's on my IPhone on my TV without wires.

 

I can do this with films from my laptop or from my IPhone to my parrot (car).

 

 

If the TV is not internet enabled, your blu-ray and should work that way.

Or just buy an hdmi lead for it and plug it into your telly

Would you have a lead for your tv control? Hello 1982.

 

Apple TV is really good but you'd want an ipad with loads of vids and a massive itunes match account attached for it to be really worth it.

Vented anger at God

Promised the devil my first born
