Works on Many Samsung TouchWiz based ROMs. Confirmed Working on Galaxy S2, S3, Tab 10.1
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).
[Supported TV Models]
- Samsung Smart TV released in 2011:
Models greater or equal to LED 7000, PDP 8000
- Samsung Smart TV released in 2012:
Models greater or equal to LED ES7500,(Models greater or equal to LED ES7000 in Europe, Models greater or equal to PDP E8000 Models(E7000 Models in North America)
[Supported Phone]
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
Older Version 3.1.7 for those of you with issues

Glad it helped, It just doesn't make sense to not allow the direct download. It clearly works on the SGS3, so it makes no sense. They have also updated the app several times since the SGS3 release 3.17 was the version I first installed. So they are working on the app, just wish they would switch it on for us to access right from market.
P.S. If this app helped you, please hit thanks

You may have to look around your TV menus for the option to turn on networked remotes. I had an issue where I somehow disabled my phone and could not get it to connect. Also are you using a 2.4ghz or 5ghz router, if using one, try the other. Finally check your router settings, to see if there is something there preventing connectivity.

Unfortunately, all this has already been verified. Consider that already use a Samsung Galaxy SII and it works great, therefore the router is fine. Among the other with the 'SIII the program works, but also sees the TV when the connection is disconnected after a few seconds by sending an error message that says: "the first use to connect to the internet" .... ideas?

I am not exactly sure what you are seeing. Are you using a stock rom? If you see the TV in the list, but Dual View is not working, then it isn't seeing your phone as supported for Dual View. This could be a build.prop issue, or a necessary file is missing. If it isn't seeing your TV, then there is a connection issue. This is what I had with 802.11n 5Ghz. When on 5Ghz, I couldn't see my TV, back to 2.4Ghz and all was fine. I thought this issue resolved on 3.19.
You may try resetting your router, trying it insecure to see if you can get it to work, but I guess it can be a bit flakey for some. There is nothing inherent in the application, that I know of, that should prevent it from working on the SGS3, unless the ROM you are using is modified. In that case, make a Nandroid backup, install a stock (Rooted if you like) ROm and test again, if it works, it is your ROM, if it doesn't, it is your network.

As I wrote in my previous post using a stock ROM no brand ITA and my Galaxy SIII is not rooted. As for the router I do not think the problem here as with my Galaxy SII ICS 4.0.3 works perfectly! The Galaxy SIII see TV but while trying to connect it disconnects giving me this error: "connect for the first time you need to connect to the internet". Help me please!

From the router side I would agree, if you see the tv in the app, router is fine. The only thing I can think of is if this is an ITALIAN version issue. I know that when upgrading to ICS some stock ROMs for the SGS2 stopped working. I think this may be the case and something in the localization is causing the connection issue.
In your case maybe try to port the app over from your sgs2 as it could also contain something specific. You can use my method from the first post. Otherwise I am afraid you may need another rom but that's also going to depend on what ROMs it runs on. I only know it works on US T-Mobile but with close to 300 downloads yours is the first time I have seen it not work so there is hopefully a stock based ROM for you with enough not removed to let this app work.
Sorry it isn't better news. As a last resort, you could try to factory reset, install only this app. That way you can ensure no other app is interfering.
Good luck, let me know how it works out.

Sprint Samsung Galaxy SIII unrooted running ICS
---------- Post added at 08:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:33 AM ----------
Might I add this app was working previously with the un55c7000 and HTC evo 3d, and evo 4g. Previously working on SGSII before ICS update now flashes black in the same fashion as the SIII. All previous models were able to download from play store however none supported the dual view.

Hey guys
I treid today to use the wifi direct function but i cant configure like the sgs2,.
Tryin to send a movie from a sgs2 to my GN but it didn't work anyone an idea or some help
Thnx in advance
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Same here. This morning I tried to setup Wifi-Direct on GN but was a no go. My SGS2 has Wifi direct configuration where you can name your device and setup password etc plus scan for other devices. GN however doesn't have anything like this and you can only turn it ON or OFF. SGS2 scanned for 2 mins and wasn't able to see GN.
Do I need any applications or is there something that myself and OP is missing?
I tried this this morning with a coworker who has a GN too but couldn't figure it out. I also tried the beam thing which says you can just magically hold them back to back and it works? Are there apps that need to be installed to get these things working?
Anyone have any links to literature on beam and wifi direct?
Bump.
This thing does seem odd enough to be worthy of some bumping.

It's a new technology that should allow compatible devices to connect to each other over wifi to transfer files without an access point. Pretty much an ad hoc type network.
I would assume we should be able to use it to connect to other GN but it MAY just be OS support and we need an actual application to make it work?
Bump. This is incredibly annoying.

Beam works fine. Try opening a homepage, and it will ask to transmit when touching another Nexus
Sendt fra min Galaxy Nexus
Seems like maybe they have only baked the API into the OS, but we need devs to create apps that make it useful, based on the Platform Highlights for 4.0 and the Demo app they released. Bummer. Some patient waiting to do, I guess.
I've searched the market for a "wifi-direct" app but there doesn't seem to be one.
Anyone else found anything?
Apparently not a very popular option among people out there.
bump. ytd nite trying to transfer all the songs and ringtones from my GalNote to GalNex using wifi direct, then dunno how to proceed cz totally cant find any settings or configuration in GalNex. enabled both wifi direct, den GalNote can detact my GalNex but failed to connect :X
Bump. My brother has sgs2 and I looked dumb trying to try wifi direct....nothing happens. No options besides on/off
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Me too, I tried setup my gn wifi direct, but it w/o any setting, then i use my bro s2 to search my gn mobile, s2 search the name called android xxx, i think this is my mobile, bcs when i off my gn wifi direct, s2 cant search any mobile, when i tried connect my gn mobile, but finally after i wait over 2 mins it still not success.
I think we can conclude if you need to check with forums on the internet and still haven't started transmitting anything two weeks later, it's not a very "direct" sort of technology.
So people at the office have Wifi-direct and I have Android beam. And neither works with each other.
This is Android-awesomeness right now.
Anyone found out how it works? sorry for the bump but good be very useable...
I haven't tried this but it is at least a suggestion. Try opening the gallery, opening a picture and then hitting the share button. Maybe there is an option in there for wi-fi direct?
EDIT: Nevermind. Looks like I mis-understood what this feature was.
Check out this to see if it helps?
http://developer.android.com/resources/samples/WiFiDirectDemo/index.html
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/wifi/p2p/package-summary.html
"remember that the feature is supported only on Android 4.0 (API level 14) and higher versions of the platform. " So looks like you have to connect to another device running ICS
wifi is there but not functional yet
guys in galaxy nexus the capability to use WIFI direct is there but not programmed and left to be added as an add on or so .. developers need to make a program or even a rom to enable this feature but most likely google will adapt the samsung software for wifi direct just like SGSII ..
hope someone just develop it soon
Yep it's purely an api for developers to use in order to connect to the same app(or another one with an official api) running on another device.
Google may very well add this into the gallery and so on, but for now it's a developer option. The implementation on the sgs2 on the other hand does not allow for developers to add in AFAIK and it's purely for use in the samsung apps.
I compiled and installed that WifiDirectDemo app and it doesn't really work. The GN and SGS2 see each other but the connection does nothing.
Does anyone know of any WORKING apps to control the Galaxy Nexus from your PC over 3G or even WiFi but not same network? I mostly need to be able to interact with the screen and type.
I tried:
droid VNC server - doesn't even start on my GNex
lazydroid web desktop - starts but the address is messed up (uses IPv6) and doesn't work
webkey (if this were working, it would be what I needed) - starts and some features work (seeing contacts for example) but most features don't: can't see phone screen, typing sends wrong characters to phone, gps and network location unavailable, etc.
If anyone has any ideas or knows something that works, please do share!
PS: i know there might be other topics asking this but I couldn't find anything fully relevant to my needs.
Thank you!
Airdroid. File transfers are slow but most everything else works fine. There is some delay as well but they did a good job implementing a desktop feel for controlling your phone.

Thanx,
I already use AirDroid and yes, it is nice but it has 2 things missing which I really would like:
1. see the actual phone "desktop" - its screen - and interact with it (scroll, start, stop apps, etc)
2. only works over WiFi
Other than that, it is a very nice phone management tool
have you guys tried android web control??
it looks to use the phone interface. i havent had a chance to try it yet.
do you mean https://market.android.com/details?id=genux.android.webcontrol?
if so, then it doesn't use the phone interface. it's just another "normal" web-based platform to send/receive SMS and see your contacts.
I'm also missing this kind of remote control app. Nothing is working. :-(
LazyDroid does work just fine, but you have to go into your wifi settings and get the IPv4 address and enter that in with the port number.
To get your IP:
Settings -> Wi-Fi -> Menu -> Advanced
- OR -
Settings -> Wi-Fi -> tap the network to which you are connected
***Looks like LazyDroid updated today or yesterday and now shows the IPv4 address right on the app instead of IPv6
Remote Web Desktop, its on the market.
Very good and featurerich app.

remote to android ICS Galaxy Nexus
After reading thisa thread I tried both LazyDroid and Remote Web Control and they both worked fine over wifi. Both apps are available through Android Market.
In fact the two apps look almost exactly the same. Both use a browser to access from your PC. Both display the IP address and port to use when you start your browser. Pretty simple. Real remote view requires root.
I am on a Galaxy Nexus running ICS.
I think the OP's point has been missed.
He is looking for a remote control app, that can function without wifi. I too am looking for an app such as this, as I use my phone to tether to my pc, and it acts as my internet connection, hence I cannot be on the same wifi network on my pc!
If anyone has found, or made, an app that can do this I would greatly appreciate it!
There is a free app on the market called webkey that does exactly that.

I have the 50 percent coupon for the samsung s3 accessories. I am currently Looking at the allshare cast for only $50 which is pretty good but it says that it is only compatible for t-mobile or sprint. I have been looking at some custom roms that are sprint or t-mobile based for our at&t and wondering anyones experiences in making these allshare cast wireless hub to work with our at&t phones. If it works can you list the rom you put in and what you had to make it work. Thanks!
Are you talking about the allshare cast dongle? If you are and you have an at&t galaxy s3 i747. Then your phone is already compatible. It should off been installed on your s3 with the latest update.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
do you see "Allshare Cast" in "more settings" under wifi and bluetooth settings?
Thats what you need. I believe it was enabled in one of the latest updates
I think what the OP is referring to is the fact that on Samsung's site, where you can use the 50% off coupon on an accessory, under the Allshare Cast it doesn't list it as being compatible with the AT&T GSIII. I have the same question since I've also got the 50% off coupon and I'd like to pick one of these up. But obviously we want to make sure it works with the AT&T version first.
It may be that Samsung just hasn't updated the page yet, since the AT&T GSIII just recently got the app in the updated firmware.

I'm already registered for Samsung.com, I looked through my e-mails and never received any coupons.
I am currently using a tmobile based leaked rom and it does have the setting but I need peoples input if custom roms will work. Would like to know also about the at&t update if it works with allshare cast.
My only reason for allshare cast is to use xbmc on my tv and controlling it wirelessly with my phone . Making it a complete multimedia phone. If the wireless charger came out also, ill be one happy camper lol.

Just received mine yesterday and it works great on my att phone.
I did hear though that there are a lot of problems with custom roms.

I am on AT&T too & I just ordered mine (the allshare cast), the samsung sales agent says that it might not work on AT&T Galaxy SIII. But I went ahead and ordered it looking at the info posted by you . Thank you.
Currently I am running 'NexusMod-Triune-II-(UX)-20120918' and I do see the 'Allshare Cast' switch in the settings. However, I could not get it to work with my samsung Blueray DVD player BD E7500 which does support allshare (I play videos from my PC onto TV via this DVD player using allshare...that confirmed that the DVD player is good). I also tried going back to 'Stock_rooted_Odexed_UCALH9' ROM, but still no luck.
Just hoping it would work with the 'allshare cast dongle'.
Could you please let us know what ROM are you on ? just in case if it doesn't work I can look around and flash the same ROM.
btw, here is a 50% off coupon if anyone wants to use it. 'rE155806p'.
Thank you in advance.

Thank you , appreciate your quick response. I am going to get mine tomorrow. Will test it out and post the results.

I have now confirmed that allshare cast wireless hub will work with at&t now. I will be buying it for sure! Ill see if I can get a first impression when I get it. Also will test if custom leaked roms from tmobile and sprint will work with it also.

Guys,
I bought an unlocked ATT Galaxy S3 and the Allshare Cast Dongle. But I dont see the Allshare cast option in settings. If there is an update how can I update my phone.
Any help is appreciated.
Got it yesterday..followed the steps .. it says connected ..but disconnects immediately.
So far I tried this with Stock lh9, NexusMod, ASTRIODS Jellybean ROMs with no luck.
Btw - I got the galaxy note 10.1 tablet yesterday & that works great with the allshare cast dongle.

Finally !! got it to work by following the below steps.
1. Went back to UCALH9 Stock via OTA update after flashing back to Stock I747UCALG1 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1896773)
2. Re-Set the counter using Traingle Away and reboot (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=22463153#post22463153)
Further reading some threads, noticed that we have to be on Stock Radio/Modem in addition to having the Allshare Cast option inthe settings and the counter MUST be 0..
How to get allshare working?

Are you talking about the allshare cast dongle? If you are and you have an at&t galaxy s3 i747. Then your phone is already compatible. It should off been installed on your s3 with the latest update.

Hi,
I have SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 unlocked att phone. I also got the dongle but I am unable to get it to work. How did you get it to work?
Just wanted to share my experience with this device so far.
I confirm it works on AT&T SGS-I747 UCDLK3 stock unrooted.
The very first time it had some difficulty connecting, but I don't recall exactly how I got it to connect. I remember playing with the reset button, plugging/unplugging the power cord, restarting the phone, turning wifi on/off for about 5 minutes until I got connection. Right away the firmware started updating using the "AllShare Cast Dongle S/W Update" app which got installed automatically from the Market a few days earlier.
Now the hub has FW version LJ02 and connects right away every time, and I don't loose connection.
So I've tried different programs to watch videos:
I streamed a 720p movie from my desktop PC, played it with the stock video player. It was a bit choppy but totally viewable.
Netflix: works really good.
Hulu: would be nice EXCEPT sound is lost everytime there's a commercial, so you have to re-sync with the hub everytime and then re-start the phone to regain media volume control.
HBO Go: The movie plays on both TV and phone at the same time (in all other cases the phone screen goes dark). Sounds lags big time and video quality is lower that the other options.
well when i sharing a video or pic via nfc i see bluetooth icon appear and when check in notification bar is activate, in my mom phone galaxy s2 t989 appear too but turn off when sharing process finish...but in my s3 dont turn off automatically...so is normal bluetooth turn on when sharing via nfc?

I noticed this happens when two different versions of Android are connecting - AOSP to TouchWiz for example. I'll assume you're running a variation of AOSP and your mother is running factory TouchWiz? Go back to TouchWiz and try again, it won't turn on your bluetooth.
Now, no, I have no idea still why it turns on bluetooth instead of using NFC. It would be interesting to put the different version of Android together to see how each interacts with one another - AOSP, Sense, TouchWiz, Optimus, Experia, Motoblur, etc and see what happens.

Hmm. I know when two S3s do it, Bluetooth doesn't turn on. So, then I guess the Note and Galaxy have slightly different versions of TouchWiz. I guess, I don't know.

Then still, it must be there versions of TouchWiz. Two S3 will not turn on bluetooth.
Two s3's sharing will initiate the connection via nfc and will complete the transfer via WiFi direct (better transfer bandwidth and range so the devices don't have to remain touching). Dissimilar devices must use bluetooth when WiFi direct is unavailable.

yes i can confirn that...few moments ago do this with 2 galaxy S3 and dont activate bluetooth...test with other phones like S2 or Note 2 turn on bluetooth...so think this issue is resolved...thanks for your tips
Bluetooth switches ON during NFC transfer
I tried transferring media between Sony Xperia M and Sony Xperia L. The transfer takes place via bluetooth and not through NFC. The android versions are same on both the phones. Why does this still occur?

Do Note, given the same Antenna for NFC and Bloetooth, the same undelying APK controls both. So Android Beam may activate both. Perfectly normal.

Sony's implementation of NFC has been traditionally flaky. Plus see what I responded above.
that happens to both of my s3s. just checked.

Depends on Rom and Kernel. Possibly the code activated the icon. As I said earlier, the Antenna is the same.
Hmm. Same thing happens on my s3 but in a different situation. When I open bluetooth to transfer files and finished transferring, the nfc automatically turns on. I notice this prob after the update. Is there any software or hardware issue on my phone.. thanks
Can anybody get this to work? I'm constantly dropped wifi direct signal with my tv. I successfully got it to mirror for 5 seconds before it froze. And most of the time I can't even get the N7 to detect my tv in the wifi direct settings. While I have my Note2 right next to it, it can detect it no problem.
Anybody have this working flawlessly? I'm also getting random reboots.. so I'll return this tomorrow I guess (16gb)

I was testing this last night. It is finicky but I got it to work pretty well.
Two things to note based on my observation:
1. Rotating the screen during mirroring drops the connection. This has to be a software bug because my S4 does not do this.
2. The wifi antenna seem to be at the top half of the tablet...so if you're in landscape mode, hold the tablet such that you don't have your hand over that portion. I find that the connection quality is extremely dependent on how you hold the tablet.

I don't have the ability to test it, as i don't have a miracast enabled device, but that sounds a lot like the old 'you're holding it wrong,'Apple quip.
I got the same issues as Lolento.
My Netgear Pvt3000 works perfectly fine with my HTC One (ARHD 12.3 rooted). When i connect it to my Nexus7 2013 (Stock rooted) it starts lagging horribly as soon as i swap it into landscape.
Got no solution for that so far. Kinda disappointing.

I have no problems with my PTV3000. Did you update to the latest firmware? Except for an one second occasional slip in video, it works flawlessly. My only problem is that the TV shows it in a 1280x720 resolution.

Weird. I'm on 4.3 (Build JSS15J). Is there somewhere the latest firmware for download available? Thanks.
I would really prefer to cast it from my Nexus instead of my One.

Exactly...I'll probably flash a Custom Rom...and see if there's any difference.
Used it with the last unofficial cm10.w nightly and then with the official nightly from a few days ago with a rocketfish miracast reciever from best buy. I thought it was strange that it worked because people have been reporting that it doesnt work on CM at all. With the compression decreasing the quality ive just decided to use my chromecast with the new aircast app that koush is testing now. Dont really game on my android devices so didnt really see a point to get frustrated over full mirroring.

I shot a video of the video/audio dropping issue that occurs with my Nexus 7 2013 & PTV3000 and uploaded it in YouTube.
Sorry for the bad quality. I thought of doing this since I got a private message from a member asking me how well the gaming works with Miracast. In the video, I am playing a YouTube video first, then GTA 3 and finally camera app.
