Hi guys,
Does anyone know when the allshare cast dongle will be available to order ? The only info I could find is probably somewhere around late June according to this seller http://www.clove.co.uk/samsung-allshare-cast-dongle-samsung-galaxy-s3
I really can't wait to surf/play on my big tv screen I know that I can buy the mhl adapter but I'll probably wait for the dongle to be released.
Thanks in advance !
Samsung South Africa
I queried with Samsung South Africa an a local retailer which gave me an ETA of middle JULY.
Real pity since they had these demoed at the UK launch event middle May...
But Polaris Office 4 was also demoed on not yet available ANYWARE. Well the price we pay for being first.
At least the stock S3 is an amazing device. Perhaps they are stagerring the hardware to give them more time to get firmware "extra nice"..
Yep my local retailers think it'll come out mid July as well.. Can't wait. And agreed, this phone in stock configuration is awesome!

Has anyone bought from this site. http://www.mobilecityonline.com/wir...a=X&ei=Ikj6T83MJ-be2QXhi_z2Bg&ved=0CDcQgwgwAA
They have the WiFi dongle for preorder and $40 that's half the price as clove. If it's legitimate I am definitely getting one.
By the way I posted this in a similar thread. I thought they would benefit from this post as well.

Unfortunately, that's not the Allshare Cast dongle. That's the MHL adapter, which allows you to connect your S3 to a HDMI TV using a corded connection. (HDMI cable not included in the box).

Wow, I just looked at the link again after your post and your right. The first time I looked at it the information was different and there was a picture of the allshare cast dongle not the mhl adapter. They changed it. I new it was to good to be true.

Anyone know how much this is supposed to cost in UK, Europe, US or whatever? Cos I don't want to spend much on this so trying to decide whether to import if it's cheap enough.

I've been looking around and have seen it as low as $80 US dollars to over $100. All with shipping included. I just broke down and bought the mhl adapter tonight for $36.49. That should work for now tell the price comes down.

Also getting the 11 pin MHL adaptor now (ordered, but waiting for stock) and Just ordered the allshare cast dongle as well (5 week lead time :-() but work is paying, so can afford to wait. Will post review when/if it finally arives.
Paying ZAR 850 so that is about €80.

Teh difference is that that is a stick that'll allow the tv to gain wifi capability. It's pretty much a wifi card. So if you link up the tv to your home network you can stream from the phone to tv via the allshare app..

The allshare cast dongle uses wifi direct to stream your phones screen to an hdtv, letting you mirror your phone on the tv. The item you linked to plugs into a tv and lets it connect to your home network and access the internet.
thanks guys but I'm none the wiser. It does allshare and its cheaper than the allshare dongle. I just dont get what its limitations are. Are you SURE it can accept stream?

This is a WiFi adaptor for Samsung Smart TV’s, which allows the TV to access the internet and DLNA files via your wireless access point.
The AllShare Cast WiFi dongle connects to an HDMI port on your TV, any TV not just Samsung TV’s, and allows amongst other things, your SIII display to be mirrored on the TV.
MaNIaC
Just to be clear wifi direct is different from normal network sharing technologies like DLNA. Wifi direct lets you connect two devices without using an existing wireless network. So for example if I didn't have a wireless internet network setup I could still wireless stream to an HDTV using Wifi direct. In principle it works similarly to the way bluetooth does but allows for much higher bandwidth
The wifi direct supports all share. So in theory I can plug this into my 2009 samsung to stream movie and game content to my tv
Edit. Or not because it's not smart. Got it

I hope someone comes up with a trickery/hack/mod so we can use the dongle to stream from a laptop as well if it's even possible.

Basically this in layman terms.
The GS3 has wifi built in which connects with the allsharecast dongle and the dongle displays the image of the GS3 onto the HDTV.
The dongle you posted just gives wifi to devices that do not have wifi built in. Since the GS3 already has wifi built in, that dongle does absolutely nothing for the GS3. but it does make your TV DNLA compatible since not all of the older TVs have DNLA standard but if your TV does have DNLA, then that dongle you posted is useless for BOTH the GS3 and your TV.
You can connect the GS3 with allshare cast enabled TVs but that just lets you display pictures and videos, it doesn't completely mirror your phone, and the entire UI on your phone, to the TV though.
I thought about posing this question in the Q&A section but since it is an accessory I thought I’d list it here. Has anyone heard of a planned release date for the Allshare Cast dongle? I saw Amazon is taking orders at $100 saying it “usually ships within 1-2 months” but that’s not exactly precise.

Did you ever find out your answer? I need to buy on of these asap. I saw it on amazon too and it says 1-3 months now. Are they not available in the USA yet? Also I called the Official Samsung Accessories department today and the guy was very helpful, but had NEVER heard of this device. Seriously, I sent him a few links of the device on Amazon and the Review of the device off Engadget. He called me back to let me know, no one there had ever heard of it either.....Weird!
It's available in Poland
From all I've heard it should be last week of August in UK, and I just don't get why we get the high end phones released and announced first over here because we are one of the biggest markets, but Samsung always give us the accessories last and not bother with any firm release dates, I mean a lot of people are already pissed off with lack of Mass storage mode and External App moving so you'd think they'd have enough sense to get the accessories out as quick as possible to divert attention away from everything else they messed up.

Yeah I know what you mean... I mean stupid HTC has there Media Link out already. It does practically the same thing, but from what I have seen, it isnt quite as good. I wonder if it is even compatible with with other android devices. I want the Allshare Dongle because as a teacher I want to use its presentation mode for power point.
Hey guys, one more thing, I also Have a Nexus 7, you think I could install Allshare on the Tab an use the dongle with the tab as well? That would be ideal!
Allshare funcion uses wireless lan (router) to stream only videos, photos and music.
Allshare cast dongle uses Wi-Fi Direct technology to create mirror of the phone on the TV screen (you can also play games). You don't have to be in the area with wi-fi network.
Allshare cast dongle only works with Galaxy S3.

Here in sweden we have had it for about 2weeks now and my two cents in the matter is,,,,as of now the dongle doesn't work very well ,,
No 1080p , problems with connection, picture in picture (popup play) doesn't work,
Overall iam kind of disappointed
Hopefully a fw upgrade will correct some or all of the problems

Anybody have one or planning on getting one? I'm kinda bummed I'll have to get another one (already have MHL) dumb competing standards. The few available on Amazon seem overpriced (in the $30 range) for a chunk of plastic and some wire.
Buy the one from analogix. That is the official one and it does cost $30. It is pricy when compared to regular MHL adaptors, but its worth it if you plan on using it.

What the cable gets you that the chromecast doesn't is direct streaming of content. chromecast does not currently support file playback through gallery. All direct streaming from the device (not from the internet) is "beta"
So say you want to play an MP4 file, you'd need this

Probably not but I suspect playing local content from your phone will but added soon but that's just a guess, games prob not due to lag and graphical limitations
i debate turning back to wires like this when i do enjoy what my chromecast does while also having hopes for the wireless display option to be 1:1 for all functions
I didn't even notice the port was not MHL. What nincompoop opted to go with this rather than MHL? Maybe I don't know something I should here, but hasn't MHL been around for a couple years now? And is there anything allegedly superior about slimport that would make it desirable over MHL?
This is just a little disappointing to me because both of my Samsung phones use MHL and at this point my backpack is already the subject of Guantanamo style field stripping every time I fly international.

Since its Nexus line, Google would follow what they did with the N4. Why don't you just check it?
MyDP (SlimPort) adapters are appearing on eBay for less than $20USD which I think is pretty good value. SlimPort has some clear advantages over MHL (scaling/no need to have charger plugged in etc).

Haha no worries. That's true. It will take a long time to arrive. They've just been really hard to get even through Asia so just thought I'd let people know since I came across them. Thanks.
I'm looking for one too. Even the one on ebay cost around $20 from china. Not counting waiting for over a month for it. Bought more than a few items from china, and only about 50% of them ever work.
Just be careful with the non analogical brand slimport adaptors. People from the N4 were having problems with certain ones. You can check in the N4 accessories thread as there is more information about them there.
I can confirm that the official one works perfect.

No clue about this guy. I have a Netgear PTV3000 that works pretty well for screen mirroring. I use it for streaming media. For gaming I use the Analogix Slimport since wireless mirroring addsd latency.
Would like to hear people's reviews about the Asus product as well. I guess will have to wait till it's release and someone tries it out.

I'd recommend downloading Allcast Beta

Works for all kinds of devices Smart TV's, Apple TV, Google TV, Roku .... I'm pretty sure any DLNA device as well.

AllCast is definitely a great video streaming option, especially for the cross platform (I have only tested it out on my Samsung TV). But, it is rather limited, at least at this time. Currently, it will only stream videos that are on your phone. It won't display pictures, stream other video services (Netflix, VUDU, etc), or even do mirroring. Hopefully, it will have these features in the future.
As for a mirroring device, I have high hopes for the ASUS Miracast Dongle. Hopefully, the dual bandwidth will cure the latency issues with the current wireless options. Unless I see reviews of it being a complete failure, I will be purchasing one of these.
Anyone seen when these will be released?
$100 for this is just crazy... and people complain about Apple's pricing?
android tv stick is a better choice
i recommend to buy an android tv stick like tronsmart mk908 or t908. it is a standalone pc stick and can even sstream everything via miracast.
it is much cheaper. chromecast or asus dongle are very limited of its functions.
cheers
they can't be serious with the name "Dongle"

Im curious to see if this one works as well as they say it does. Just not wanting to be the test rat for it atm... Done my fair share of testing new products.
there was a German poster over at the Asus T100 forums that said the Asus Dongle would not work for him.
i went ahead and bought the Actiontec Receiver from Wally World, works just fine so far, had to update the firmware...good to go.

Hi,
im getting one of these next week (release date here in UK)
main reason is to load it with XBMC and use some of the many great addons like navi-x
I also would like it to replace my WD HDTV Live but im not sure it is capable of handling 3TB+ HDD. I know you can root and install stickmount app but does it handle large HDD well?
Not sure what other good stuff i can do with it, i have read you can use the PS4 controller + use emulators but what else good can it be used for?
Thanks
