Hi, I'm a bit confused here to what my options are regarding the all share dongle and I'm wondering if there's an all in one solution for me here... I have a Samsung 530U3B laptop with Intel WiDi built in, the S3 will have Wifi direct and wireless display capabilities. I'd like to be able to mirror my S3 onto my monitor to play games etc and stream videos, though the BBC iplayer app on android is pretty poor and there's no on demand TV really, so it would be nice to stream iplayer on my laptop to the monitor wirelessly. Is there an all in one solution for me? Or would I need to buy a separate dongle for the S3 and my Samsung laptop?
Many thanks

This is a question you will only get an answer after the device released and people are able to mess with both

Hello,
I am planning on using my Galaxy Nexus as my new Desktop computer.
I am planning to achieve this by buying a MHL to HDMI adaptor to display the visual output from my phone to my monitor. I will also be buying a Bluetooth Keyboard and Mouse.
My question is Does the Galaxy Nexus or ICS support two bluetooth devices being connect to it at once?
Thanks
Dan
I too would be interested in this.
Where is the best place to buy a MHL cable and...do they all have a charge feature.
P.S. There's a video on YouTube with this. But I'm not sure if he's using 2 peripherals or 1. Good question.
Cheers.

I just purchased one from

But I think you have addressed my first issue, getting the phone to charge while its connected through the USB.
Maybe charge it via the 3pin pogo on the side...

No idea about the BT connectivity issue, in the worst case you could use 1 BT connection and for the other a USB OTG cable, if the Nex supports it.
The only problems you'll run into is if you need to perform any heavy tasks. MS Word won't run, any of the higher level Adobe software, etc... There are of course substitute mobile apps, but they're not nearly as powerful as the desktop apps. To understand this, try composing a Word document in a mobile app...it works for writing text, but you'll have to manually compose a Table of Contents. Another test would be Power Point, you can make simple slides but you won't be able to make anything complex. And I'm not sure there's even a mobile version of virtual machine software at all.
Good luck. They're noble ambitions. But I'm a coder and need a machine with at least 4GB RAM. I have to be able to compile code, run VMs, make complex documents etc...in a nutshell, it wouldn't work out for me.
I guess everybody's uses for a Desktop is different. I just want it to browse the web, watch youtube videos, watch the odd tv show and movies.
The processing power in the nexus is defiantly sufficient for what I need it for. Also with Kernels around I could overclock it up to 1.5Ghz but I just dont feel compfortable running my phone at 1.5Ghz. So I think 1.35Ghz would be sufficient and be as far as I push it.
Googles Docs can do any word processing or excel documents which I need when at home but will be rarely using this.
I just want to really use my phone on my tv and flick back and forward. Reply to texts, emails, web stuff. A good bt rollout keyboard and a small mouse would be probably sufficient.
That link didn't work for me. :-\ so the cable has a charge port on it?

So I found this on ebay and it claims to work with SGS3.
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Original...Cable-Samsung-Galaxy-S3-S2-Note-/310418822128
Has anyone got this one yet? I wonder if it will stream movies in Full HD mode from SGS3 to my TV.
They'll stream through DLNA maybe, but the whole point of the Media link is to mirror your device, which can only be done in the One S and X.

Hi all. Got my hands on a samsung allshare cast dongle. So i thought that a quick-review and setup would come in handy for some people. Since the sIII is the featured device I've made it with it. Altough it works without a problem with the Note II too since it also has the allshare cast app integrated into the soft.
Check out my vids:

do you think it would work with older TVs, like from few years old, but also having HDMI slot?
yepp it has to work!
I wonder if the Sky Go app will work with it
I noticed it has a slight lag. How does it affect gaming? And anyone else that uses the MHL adapter does it have any lag?

I have an unofficial mhl adapter, and there is a touch of lag (see the other thread in here). Videos and regular stuff are fine (Youtube HD looks great), but most games seem to have varying amounts of lag. Interestingly, Dead Trigger was completely playable but stuff like Angry Birds and especially Ski Safari were harder.
sometimes it lags in games!not all the time !
maybe you should combine it with this threat as there are already many questions answered about the dongle and its working/non-working.
In addition it seems that dead trigger runs quite smooth on your dongle, for many it is choppy & laggy, mind to share your dongle's firmware and your phone's setup?
...
sorry 4 the late answer Dongle Version: LF21, SIII firmware: JB I9300XXDLJ4_I9300OXADLJ4_BTU

It is Wi-Fi direct. Google the term. You don't need a Wi-Fi access point.

I am trying to mirror the screen on the note 2 to a samsung series 5 smart tv. I want to play my psone emulator game on the big screen, I am already doing this with no problems on the phone with a bluetooth controller.
I've tried it a number of ways but none can do what I wanted, have anyone done this before got any advice?
1. Samsung allcast. Its is built into my series 5 smart tv but it seem to be only able to play music/ picture/ video content across allcast. Unless there is some settings or hack I've missed. I think its because its a old series 5 tv. the web seem to shows a lot of examples of it working on newer Samsung smart tv.
2. Mhl cable. I dont have one and so I cant try it out. I am worried the resolution may not be very good or maybe there will be some lag on say, tekken 2. Have anyone used it before got any advice.
3. Remote desktop programs. This will work fine with a pc but I cant install the required program on the smart tv to get it to work.
Thank you in advance for any help.

He dude
Search for a netgear solution.
Dont know the exact name for the device but google will help you out and you will know when you see it.
Oh yeah... allshare cast must! Work. So a modified phone will not work without an allshare cast mod ( if there is any)
Regards
Axelman
A thank you would be nice, if i helped you in any way.

For custom ROM you may need a mod since custom counter prevents allshare from working.I went back to stock+rooted+twrp recovery.For me Triangle away does the job.Allshare cast is working like a charm.However when I go to Recovery I have to reset counter afterwards - every time.
First. Thanks all for help.
I was initially trying for a inexpensive way to play ps1 games on the big screen, as the soon to be released ps vita tv prompted.
I knew you could get some sort of expensive wifi router than allows universal screen mirroring. Unfortunately they are at least £100 which sort of defeat the purpose in my case.
I am on rooted stock rom. Allcast seem to work for everything (ie photo and video) from the phone and the pc. But no screen mirroring. That is unless I am missing on some options/setting or apps.
Lastly anyone whom got a mhl cable on any advice on lags or sounds or recommendations. As a quick search on amazon will pop on hundred of mhl cable at various price £10 to £50+. It seems that upscaling the note 2 resolution to 40 inch tv might be a bit taxing for a cheap cable. I am not sure. Any tips.

The Netgear solution costs about $50,-
A MHL cable is okay, but still then ur wired and set to a distance of 2 meters max between you and your 40 inch.
Every convenience comes with a price
I got my MHL cable from china.. works great, but its not for playing games on a tv set.
If your interested in the cable,

HI guys. Can someone please recommend a decent method of being able to wirelessly display my nexus 7 FHD on my 42" LCD TV. It isnt a smart tv so I need a device to do this but I want to be able to play games on my tv using the Nexus as well. I have seen a few dongles for about £30 on amazon but they all have dodgy reviews. The cheaper the better but I obvs want something that will work flawlessly. Please can you guys give me some advice and your recommendations?
Many thanks

The SlimPort is a great device. I do not personally own it but I know people who own it and they say it works flawlessly. Since I cannot post links yet I suggest you go to Amazon and type SlimPort.
In android 4.4 in the display section of the settings there is an option to cast screen and since it says "cast" it leads people to believe the chromecast will be updated at some point to mirror screens, however it doesn't have that capability at this time but it will be a great option when/if it happens!

I was surprised when the Nexus 7 cast screen feature in the display settings worked with my Samsung All share Cast dongle, but it isn't that good by any means. But then, not even my Samsung S3 does screen casting to the dongle very efficiently either. So, slimport tethering is the way to go using a Bluetooth keyboard with touchpad to remotely control the Nexus.

The Netgear PTV3000 has been pretty flawless for Miracast so far. Just make sure you don't have any other devices operating on the 5 GHz band when you're using it. HTH.
