I will not be monitoring this thread, I have a T-Mobile T999 but wanted to share this with the SGS3 community at large. Feel free to post results, and any additional mods (ie. Getting it to work with ASOP Rom's) in my original thread
For some reason, beyond my comprehension, Samsung have this great app, but have yet to open it up to the SGS3. I have been resorting to downloading it and installing it on my HTC HD2 (Running CM9) backing it up with Titanium, and then copying the backup over to my SGS3, and restoring the backup. A bit round about, but works.
The App, for those that don't know, allows you, with a Samsung high-end TV or BR-Player, use the app to not only as a remote, but as a second mirrored screen, with audio. Great for trips to the kitchen, bathroom, outside, or in another room (although range is limited by your router).

While technically only SGS2, it works with SGS3 stock rooted rom, but should work on most with a stock base. It will not work on CM9/10 and ASOP ROM's but you could give it a try and let me know.
Here is the actual app, I extracted it from my Titanium backup figuring someone could use it until Samsung get around to updating the Market to let you just download it. The only thing I can't get to work is Bluetooth power on. I can pair with my TV, but it just doesn't show up until I have turned it on. I also had an issue with it working over the the 5Ghz 802.11n band, but with 3.1.9 that doesn't seem to be an issue anymore.
Version 3.1.9 - 39MB - Confirmed Working for me with 2011 PDP51D8000 Model
Version 3.2.0 - 40MB - Also Confirmed working

A member over at AVS Forum shared this app with me since its not downloadable yet.I can vouch that it works.I have a Galaxy S3 and a 60PNE7000. It's a great way to control the smart hub function of the tv especially the web browser part which is A's real pita to control with the tv remote. There is also a cool multi display feature that will show whatever is on the tv onto the phone.

The smart view app from Samsung does not support dual view on my TV led 40d6000. Any ideas if that can be made to work?

It is a non-Supported TV, and there is no way to make it magically support this technology. The only way to get it to work is to sell your TV and buy a supported model. I included the supported hardware list in my post, and as 40D6000 I believe is a 2011 LCD TV, it just wont work, ever as it isn't an LED above 7000 or plasma 8000 model. This is a limitation of your TV hardware, and nothing the app or your phone are able to change. Samsung chose not to include the hardware/software in lesser model TV's, to support this function, and for 2011 TV's you can't upgrade the hardware.
You are not alone, there are many 1 star reviews on Google play because the app doesn't support all TV's. Although to give it 1 Star because the TV isn't supported is quite unfair to the app, especially when it clearly states in the description that the TV is not supported.
This app will only work with supported TV's and certain BR Devices. Unless you have a supported device, tehr is no way to make it work. The description in the first post clearly lays out the requirements.
thnx so very much for sharing this
works on my Samsung S3 32gb international android 4.04 phone with UExxES8000 1018.1 firmware
version 3.20 works fine over 56mbit wifi and 5ghz wifi and bluetooth power-on works too (hold phone closer then 1 meter from the TV and pair from the phone after starting the smartview app. it will tell you to turn on bluetooth and pair TV, which is the right moment to do so)
No issues
App operates without flaws:
App version 3.2.0
Galaxy Note 2, jelly bean 4.1.1, T-Mobile
Tv model: un46d8000, samsung
Both stock, not rooted
Bt operation also works
I've determined the app works flawlessly as long as I am a running a touchwiz variant rom. If I use any Originaly ROM (AOKP or CM) it doesn't work properly. I was wondering if anyone else is experiencing the same issue?

come on..read the op, it's barely a few.posts up.
I installed 3.2.0 on my SGS3 running CM10 11/25. It so far as a remote has been working perfectly. I have not yet tested bluetooth or dual view capabilities yet, however so far it's been awesome.
My TV is a Samsung UN46ES7100.

Thanks for sharing this app with us. I have a galaxy s3 an a 46D8000 and it works.
I would like to know if there is any way to make this app to work with ipad2, the samsung app from appstore needs 2012 model tvs.
Thanks again.
Hi all.
I don't know why this seems to be such a difficult thing to do but I can't seem to get a straight answer.
I have a Galaxy Note 2, my wife has a Sensation XE and we both will soon have Nexus 7 and/or Nexus 10 - possibly. What I want to achieve is a way to send video content including things like netflix from our devices to our TV wirelessly.
I don't want to have seperate receivers etc for each device but I am happy for a software solution if a hardware one is not available.
Thanks
im not sure about netflix and stuff because i don't use it, but when you have any videos theres a button on the top with like a small tv and 3 lines or so all together like a little symbol, your tv provided its a samsung, should be connected on the same wifi as your phone and all you have to do is clack that button and it should work.
As for youtube which is what i sometimes use, i just pair it with the TV and it connects straight away.. really simple
This looks similar to what your after .

I've tried that with an app called 'Skifta' to a laptop running xbmc (for testing purposes) but it only supports local content and a select few stations/channels of which netflix isn't one. My TV is a 6 year old Bush LCD IDTV so no DLNA

if your samsung tv is new it would be dlna or smart tv so you wont need that allshare cast

Sorry, what I meant was, does allshare cast work with non-samsung phones/tablets (see OP).
I don't have a samsung TV nor can I afford one.
Well, it's a hardware solution, and right now is a lil bit on the pricey side. Gigabyte skyvision ws100.
The advantage, you can use it with whatever devices with hdmi i/o capability. It seems it pretty much works flawlessly and without lag, if I had came across it couple of months before I might have bought one instead a 30m+ HDMI cable than runs from my PC to the TV in the living room. If I had, now I could easily switch between PC (gaming), laptop (movie watching), and now phones (occasional viewing of photos and stuff). And, I could use it to stream av to the projector in our bedroom.... might still consider this Christmas.
Best regards.
The device is called Allshare cast dongle. It works with any TV with HDMI port. Plugs in to the hdmi port and you connects your to galaxy device over "wifi direct" (you dont need a wifi network for this to work). Its not sold in North America (thanks to apple) but is widely available on amazon and ebay for under $100.
Hope this helps.
Cheers

I shall investigate. The problem with cables however is that the devices have different HDMI outputs (if at all) hence wanting wireless solution.

I'm aware of the allshare dongle but I need it to work with more than samsung devices (see OP)
Would ANYBODY know ?
[/B]Does anybody know if it's possible to mirror the phone onto a smart tv without the use of a dongle????
and i don't mean videos, i mean complete mirroring???[/B]
I have been llooking for answers as to how to do this yet I have not found a good site that explains it well. I just picked up a SERIES 8 Samsung TV..and I want to connect my s3 to it to view pics or what not.
Anyone have any experience doing this?
I have a Samsung smart tv and a galaxy s3. The tv is wired into the network. I recall that I have done anything rose to make it work, but out digits. From the gallery, music player, or movie viewer I can send what ever it is to the tv. Of course the s3 is using WiFi in the same network.

I have my S3 and TV on the same wifi network but I do not know the steps to do it..nothing on my manual. How did you do it?
As long as rhey are both on the same network... you just need to open whatever media file you want throgh allshare
Your tv should then prompt you as tk whether youbwant to let the media stream or not

I downloaded Allshare Control app and it says framework not installed?
My bad...its imediashare that you want to play it through.....
Galaxy S III I747
I have a Samsung Smart TV, a Samsung Laptop and obviously the GS3. I have the Allshare application on my PC which prompts you to share the path folder which holds your movies, photos, etc. On GS3 it does the same thing, but you have to be on the stock framework (rooted is fine but not ROM'd)... On your network your phone should recognize your TV as it has a pre-designated name given to it, and it will ask you if you want to share information with the device (TV). If the TV is hardwired it then it may not work. As of right now if I have everything over WiFi then there is no issue. Once I hardwire the TV then Allshare doesn't recognize my TV anymore from my PC or GS3.

Hi there,
I don't know if there is Infrared sensors on Note II, but there is several apps on google play from the Samsung, Panasonic and etc, that uses wifi to control your television and bluray (which actually requires both conexion on your home network too) by your home network.
I have a Viera (Panasonic) TV and Bluray and works pretty well.
There is no IR on Note 2. So you can't use Note 2 as you want it.
