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.

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
