I am not sure if anybody is aware of this app but IMO it is one of the best apps out there and takes advantage of the "4G" speeds of the G2. Stream your entire music collection to your phone (you can also download it directly for offline listening) or to any computer you want. I have been using this since I got my G2 and it is a very very cool app.

Thanks for the post...now that I can stream my entire iTunes library the G2 experience just got a whole lot better.

Ill try it out
I like it...it's much slicker than SkyTunes, in my opinion. It also doesn't have the "stuttering when not in the app" problem that SkyTunes does (as I imagine the Android app is native).
Skytunes has potential as adobe air apps mature. Especially when air goes out on iphone (advantage of air, write once for many platforms).
If anyone has problems make sure you read the website. Most problems come from port forwarding.
I always wanted a huge microsd card. My current size of my mp3 collection is roughly 55gbs and dreamed of the day that I could carry all my music. Never have to worry about that again.
And with google getting into doing this very thing this app/service does... watch out.

I don't mean to diss SkyTunes too much, but it still feels really unfinished. I had no problems forwarding the port myself (something that I know Subsonic can do for you with uPnP, though), and I read that the update may help with the audio stuttering. That's definite progress, but Subsonic feels much more finished already.
Do any of you know what I have to do to stream music from my comp over 3g? I can stream over my wifi but on regular cell data it just trys to connect then fails.
You are going to have to look at your router settings and forward the port to your computer most likely.

I've been using this for quite some time, I tweaked the settings to even allow me to stream movies from my server as well.
I uninstalled the app because though I entered the server name, I could not get info on what username/password to use.

anyone got the knowledge or skills to determine if those on at&t with a skyrocket lte data provisioned sim featured with visual voicemail could somehow mod this app or otherwise address hacks to get it operational on gsm GNxS?
Did you ever figure this out? I just unboxed the GN yesterday and am missing VVM already...
Just use Google voice

^^^^^^ Lord, it never fails..... (*shakes head*)
Anyway, I'm not sure that getting the app to install would be enough. I really don't know whether AT&T would check to see whether you were running an approved device before delivering your VVM over the data network, or whether it would be enough to have an LTE data plan and maybe be connected to the "pta" access point?
I doubt the apk checks anything on the device. mist likely just have to be provisioned correctly on the att system. Check you features unless it says vvm on it somewhere(will ether be a seperate feature or or attaches to a dataplan) it will not work.

QUESTION?
I have a skyrocket...and now a Note.
i want this app also.
ATT said its only designed for certin devices. (doubt that)
anyway
i am thinking of cloning the apk and a little redesign and moddifaction.
Question is.....WOULD ANY ONE CONSIDER A "CollectiveVisualVoiceMail.apk"
if so...let me know!
I honestly think this is a great feature on the stock ROM. I could send app apk's to a buddy of mine and everything. Even HD movies.
So I'm only left to wonder, is this a feature of S Beam? Even though I didn't touch the phones, we just paired via WiFi Direct.
However he does have a S3 as well.

There are a few apps in the play store that do essentially the same thing. Bump being one I've used since my iPhone days.
But I have to admit, sbeam and the integration in the TW interface is much more user friendly. Would be nice to see something of the sort in CM10 but I wouldn't count on it

Bluetooth or try something called xlink in playstore. But with xlink you need to be on same wifi but its really fast.
This should work stock if you are on CM9/CM10. Google added Android Beam in ICS. It uses NFC to pair and transmit files, contacts and whatever.
The video here shows how to make sure it is turned on and how it works.

Yea, but the one he is talking about is the S3's ability to pair with another S3 through WiFi, not NFC, to share files.

I see... Jelly Bean uses NFC to set up a bluetooth connection which is faster but not as fast as Wifi...
Google added support for wifi direct in ics. Sadly it is just sdk. It took samsung to make an app. Even more sad is that in play store nobody took up the mantle and develop a third party app using that sdk.
Tried sending files with nfc with galaxy Nexus and my sgs3 and even that does not work properly, well it does send bookmarks, contacts and opens apps or opens play store to download that app, but it does not send actual files.
The only way is manually sending via bluetooth, but that's way too slow.
Also note that even with Samsung, the current file size limit for wifi direct is about 1 gigabyte.

I know that sucks. I tried WiFi shoot in the play store, but its nowhere as good. But the weird thing is, I've actually sent a 2gb HD movie via WiFi direct before... its a great feature IMO.

Not sure about the movies but it repeatedly gets stuck sending my titanium backup (zipped to 1.5gb), the other phone never starts receiving, while it sends and receives smaller than 1gb zip files no problem.
This is between i747m and i9300 models.

Send files over WIFI
What I do is:
on Phone 1 make a wireless hotspot (tethering)
connect phone 2 to this hot spot.
use ES File explorer (free) to create a ftp server on phone 1 (in the settings)
Use ES File explorer on phone 2 to log into phone 1 by putting in the settings on your notification bar on phone 1 (the one that says FTP server is running)
then you can see all your files in phone 1, just copy what you want over or even stream a movie from your phone to your tablet...
then benefit to doing it this way is you can stream from another phone and you can also access files from a PC using filezilla(free)

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.

Here ya go. I followed the OP in this thread and had my coupon in an hour or so.

*edit* I just realized there isn't much as far as instructions in that thread...lol. All you need to do is head over to Samsung's website and register. They'll send you a specific code a little while after that.
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.

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..

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 this is kind of annoying... I'm using a T-Mobile S4 on the MetroPCS BYOD plan which is great... $55 all in (I have two lines).
The PROBLEM is while most manufacturers put their apps on the Google Play Store MetroPCS doesn't... all the MetroPCS apps (aka "bloatware" that come with a Metro phone aren't available anywhere.
This should be pretty simple, someone with a rooted phone could upload the apps. I really only want the the account management and visual voice mail apps.
I hope they fix this, any help in the mean time appreciated... the question is: WHERE CAN I GET THESE APPS?
Have you tried the metro app store, pretty sure it has that stuff.

There's a link to MyMetro (account management), post #3 and voicemail app is in metro store that was linked above.
FYI, I switched my two Metro S4s to TMO recently, but I was only able to get MyMetro to work on one of them beforehand. Hopefully goes better for you, but I tried calling them and they seemed to have no clue what the app is or how to get it working. One person said that it wasn't compatible with my phone or plan, the fact that it worked on one of them was irrelevant....customer service gotta love them.
