is there a way to connect to a tv not wirelessly? like using usb?
Nexus Q and HTC Media link should work. I am not sure if they are exact mirrors like the dongle but it should be.
Nexus Q can't do screen mirroring. The HTC Medialink isn't compatible with the Galaxy S3 due to proprietary software.
You're stuck with the $99 allshare cast dongle. I'd wait though since a lot of screen mirroring solutions are going to be made available and most likely cheap by the end of 2012. The WiFi Alliance is working on something called Miracast which is essentially android screen mirroring.

Apparently someone said the HTC media link works with the GS3. There was a thread on it.
You could buy a Samsung DVD or bluray player that has the allshare capability.

..different things, all share DLNA ( share movies from PC, phone to TV ) is different to All share cast ( where the phone is replicated on TV )
Need this!
So Im a school teacher and bought a GSIII for this accessory. Why isnt it available and does anyone know when it will be available? Im trying to do research now to see if I can get the HTC one to work with my GSIII, also I have a Nexus7 I would like to figure out how to make that work as well.
due to the overpricing of this thing (it'll be about 110 USD in sweden) I decided to pre-order an Ouya instead as it basically gives me the features I wanted an allshare dongle for but at the same price. But for those $100 I get a standalone tegra 3 device instead, basically a htc one x without a screen. It wont be out until march but the money value here is worth the wait.
Hello, anyone know if it´s possible to emulate the allshare cast dongle with a PC ??
i mean, that piece of hardware must use some software that can be inatalles as a program in a notebook and then the notebook connected to the TV.
Could this be done?
PD: chrome cast doesn´t mirror the games for example and samsung dongle yes
chromecast alternatives and other ways to mirror your phone... [via and xbox]
With all the new apps and wireless technologies out there now, is there a way to get the same cast functionality going through an XBOX connected TV with your phone?
I have a Samsung Note 3 and XBOX 360 and want to mirror my phones screen and control some apps like you can with the Chromecast, mainly a web browser on the XBOX.
Thank you for any help!!

I installed Mirror OP sender and Mirror Op receiver on my notebook and cell phone and then connected the notebook with HDMI to my TV. I have mirror now, but it has too much lag.
If someone make some retroengineering on an all share cast dongle i think we can emulate it, the notebook or pc connected to the tv has to have enough power to copy the software functions of that dongle!! . Soemone must know more about this.

I would be surprised if not nearly any laptop out there got more power than the small dongle device?
In addition I think the lag (most recognizable in games) might come from the wireless transmission maybe?

I connected my S3 to our TV and it had a bit of a lag as well. I've only used this to view videos and pics but they don't take up the whole TV screen, kinda defeating the purpose or am I missing something?

I asked the Samsung chat support for this youtube video : watch?v=FX3y7O_TOew
they told me that feature was only available for rooted concept devices, so... we can see that they do the same as Chrome Cast dongle but without buying any dongle. ...
this so called "WEB PAGE SHARE" function doesnt appear on new note 2, s4, s3 or note 3, maybe someone can make a rom or something to make this work ??? its also showed in this video:

hmmmm
What is difference between the "AllShare Cast Dongle" and EZCast?
Anyone tried them both?
via hdmi
After hours of waiting for answers from Samsung both online and over the phone, nobody in the technical department has any idea what AllShare Cast does or what it is capable of doing (if anything). I have the Samsung Galaxy SIII SPH-L710 from Sprint and a Samsung UN55C7000 LED Smart tv, and a Samsung HTC-C6930 3D bluray player. I can connect all devices via allshare and share videos photos and music but if I try to activate the Allshare Cast via settings menu on the Galaxy SIII it proclaims that no devices are found. In the allshare settings menu on the tv it shows the phone is allow to share screen images however I am unable to get the phone to recognize the tv via allshare cast. Their is very limited information about connecting these devices without the allshare dongle offered by Samsung because it is my understanding with a Samsung smart tv that is capable of allshare then the dongle would be pointless so please any help you can provide to help me mirror the images from my phone to the tv without the allshare dongle or without additional cords/accessories.
Allshare cast is basically a service that mirrors whatever is on your phone to your TV.
I don't think you can use AllShare cast with a smart TV since many people have tried and the TV did not show up. They also didn't even add the AllShare cast menu option until after the dongle was released, so I doubt any compatibility with smart TVs was intended.
Samsung would rather have you pay more and also buy the dongle which is pretty much your only option if you want to mirror the phone to the TV. There are still many other solutions for just sharing movies/pictures to the TV that are free.

You need oneof the newer (newest?) firmwares to have the Allshare Cast function under Settings, More Settings.
The if rooted iu also need Triangle Away (and the you have to "fiddle" a bit to get it working).
But mine was stable last night. It is a bit of a Timing thing (pressing the rest button on the dongle and then turn on allshare cast, etc). Also sometimes yu have to restart the phone.
There is a firmware update in the Samsung app store for the allshare cast dongle, available today. So far, there is a rapid connection established to the unit, stable. Sound issues also are resolved so far. Great update.
I'm currently using an allshare cast dongle to mirror my phones display to a Pioneer Appradio2. Its an awesome setup but im stuck on a stock rooted rom because of the allshare cast. I thought I had read somewhere that someone was running CM10.1 with the allshare cast working. Can anyone confirm if it works or not?

Running the same setup as you with the Appradio and ARLiberator. I tried multiple TouchWiz roms and got a Jelly 'Beans' to work with Triangle Away. Finally I gave up and went to CM10.1. While messing around with settings, I figured out how to make this work! I'm using a VZW Galaxy SIII, so not sure if the CM build for your phone will be the same but try this:
Turn on the Allshare Cast dongle
On phone go to Settings > Display > Wireless Display
Turn Wireless Display ON
Tap on Dongle to connect
Hopefully that will get you up and running with CM10.1 and your Allshare Cast Dongle.

I have installed CM10.1 but I don't see a Wireless Display option in the Display settings. I have yet to go out to the car to see if it only appears when the Allshare Cast is turned on so I will give that a try. Thanks for the reply. I will report back later.

I have no problem getting the allshare cast to work with stock based roms using a stock kernel with the stock boot.img. You just have to run triangle away after flashing rom and boot.img.
I have no wireless display option in the settings>display menu using CM 10.1 for the note. Very weird that its not on the note 2 rom but it is on the s3 rom.

Damn worth trying. As I said I'm using a s3 so wasn't sure if it would work for you.
What if you go into settings>more.. Do you see an option there for miracast?

So how does this thing work? Are you supposed to connect your phone to your home wifi network to access the dongle? Do the two access each other through some sort of ad-hoc connection? I dont have home internet, I just tether from my cellphone, however I would like to start streaming hulu/netflix stuff using my cellphone to mirror the screen. Will these 2 devices be able to see each other and still use my cellular data?
UPDATE: Ok so I just grabbed one from the Verizon store to figure it out myself. Setup was a breeze, just plug the hub in, hit the button 1 time on the back (or until the LED turns blue) then go into settings/display/wireless display. You do not have to be on any kind of WiFi network, apparently the device and cellphone operate on their own independent spectrum or something. It saw the device immediately and took about 30 seconds to actually connect. Then the display started mirroring. Only problem was a little lag and some visual artifacting on screen. Enough that I'm actually taking it back for a refund, what a shame, really liked the concept.
Was wondering if anyone has been able to use this device with the Note 2? Netgear continues to claim it does yet I have tried every firmware option and update for the device and will not connect. Im running stock firnware on phone. Thanks for looking.
i am gonna buy push2TV from Bestbuy and will let you know if it works or not.
if not then i am gonna buy samsung allshare cast dongle which is the same thing.

The allshare dongle works fine as i have that as well. The reason I wanted the PTV is that is does both Miracast and Intel Widi so i can use it for either laptop or phone..

OK so i bought it today and out of the box it didn't work with my Note 2. So i check the firmware update and of course it was outdated. i downloaded the latest firmware V2.2.12 flashed then tried with my note2 it would connect then it would say something about HDCP and disconnect..
Then i remember i read in some forums that the Allshare dongle woundn't work if the phone's flash counter isn't zero. so i tried the Triangle Away App and after the reboot the phone connected and it worked. it's not perfect but it works for web browsing pictures etc but for videos and games there are some lag and delay. so i hope i answered you questions.

Talking about Push2TV... i didn't buy allshare cast dongle yet.
Allshare and push2tv are the same thing, if i am not mistaken they both use Miracast....
My phone was rooted with CWM Recovery so b/c of that my phone's flash counter was 2 so i had to use TriangleAway app to clear the counter so Note2 would work with Push2tv.
Update: Video playback from SD to Push2TV is pretty good now i watch the whole movie without any lag. but youtube and Video games lag on Push2Tv.

Sorry my English.
but before conection reset device everytime
I'm not familiar with this device, but doesn't the Google Chromecast have more potential?
I have a samsung galaxy s4 and am planning to buy the allshare wifi dongle/cast, but i have a doubt after reading reviews in the Amazon on this product. Can you/any one please confirm this: I have a home WiFi network, and I am planning to Browse internet, watch youtube on my phone after connecting to all share dongle. will it possible to do it? I heard that you have to enable wifi direct on your phone to connect to the dongle, doing so will disconnect my phone from Wi-Fi Home network ... is it Rit?

Difficult to say at this stage, whilst they are similar in concept, the execution is very different. Chromecast doesn't screen mirror, but does stream separately from your device. I have both, and have different uses for both.

I use AllShare Cast on my Galaxy Note 2 and 8 - yes, it does connect via WiFi Direct, but this doesn't mean you are disconnected from your home network. i.e. you can still browse the web, watch Netflix etc whilst screen mirroring via AllShare.

thanks dave. Another thing here... buying allshare will limit the usage to only Samsung devices... any other device which can accept any android 4.0+ devices and mirror the screen on HD TV ???

It does appear as a Miracast device to my Nexus 4, which detects, connects, and mirrors.
My HTC One detects it and I've had it connect and mirror for a few seconds, but haven't been able to connect again.

Not anymore, it doesn't.
Google just pushed an OTA that breaks any kind of local streaming capability except the PC Chrome > Cast one.
It's obvious that the Chrome cast was subsidized by big media companies, and they didn't like it when devs like Koush were able to stream straight from phone to TV. This would make piracy easier.
This is absolutely ret... dumb. The biggest reason I bought Chromcast was to stream my photos and videos. My CC has been sitting behind my TV collecting dust since the day I got. I tried out Allcast, it was great. Then this came along... I'm considering returning my CC.
