[Q] Miricast feature? - T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII

Hey guys,
I just placed an order for the following item which is Miricast pre-certified: http://www.netgear.com/home/products/hometheater/media-players/PTV3000.aspx#
As per several articles online such as this one http://www.theverge.com/2012/9/19/3356512/miracast-certification-wifi-direct-video-streaming , the Galaxy 3 is already Miricast enabled (I assume the technology is similar to its allshare cast).
My question therefore is how will I be able to enable/use that feature once I get my new Wireless Display Adapter? I assume it's an app to use, but as far as I'm aware there is not one yet on the market. Is this something we have to wait for Samsung to release as an update?
Thank you in advance for any help.

I belive you would use wifi direct to connect to the unit

Tried it out but it did connection failed, although it did identify the adapter and try to connect. I thought it was a WiFi direct problem with my Rom on my phone but I just tested it with my co worker and we can send stuff to each other no problem.
Any ideas?

Okay just got off the phone with Samsung and they're saying only the International Galaxy 3 is miracast certified? Can anyone else confirm? I really only got the PTV3000 for this feature =/

Any ideas?

Thanks! Do you know if it mirrors all apps? Ideally I would like to use it to play rented google play movies on my big screen.
I just tried and it's a no go. It's not working at all since I rooted with the multi view add-on. Device dhcp error. Seems like I need the 4.2 update as someone pointed out. I'll try messing around and see if it works.

Android3220,
Question for you. When you reset your allshare cast dongle does it turn blue for quite a while or does it turn back to red pretty quickly. Mine turns back to red pretty quickly. I tried connection from my note 2 within 2 mins after reset like the instructions told me to and it still doesn't work.

WiFi direct

I am a bit confused. Saw the specs on some of the websites and some indicated that Galaxy nexus has WiFi direct whereas some indicated that it doesn't. Although I found WiFi direct settings in the settings menu, I am unsure how to use it. I mean, after connecting the galaxy Nexus to my laptop through WiFi direct, I can't find an option to share files through it. Please can someone help me out. Am I missing something?

I think this only works phone to phone. Like another phone with WiFi direct.

Hello, I am also very interested to find out how WiFi direct works. I have tried phone to phone connection as insuusvenerati suggested but it did not seem to work.

I forgot to mention that when I tried WiFi direct on my galaxy S2 and Note, it gave me a option to send files through WiFi direct in gallery and it worked flawlessly but on galaxy nexus neither does it gives me an option to send file through WiFi direct nor it is able to receive file from the other end.

So I have been struggling with this for a while but now have a solution. Our Galaxy Nexus has the capability to use it but you need an app to get it going for large files. URLs and small items will work, but pictures, videos and files need more.
WiFi Direct on the Galaxy Note and Galaxy S III uses NFC to establish the connection, but WiFi to send the material. On the Galaxy Nexus, it uses Bluetooth.
There is a WiFi direct app in the app store that you need to install to be able to send large files between the Galaxy Nexus and Galaxy Note or Galaxy S IIIs.
You really have to fiddle around with it to get it to work but once it does, you can send videos and stuff from your Galaxy Nexus to a Galaxy Note or a Galaxy S III. Also, as far as I know, you have to have the app on BOTH devices.

Fitbit One with S2

Does anyone know if there is a way to get the Fitbit One device to sync with the S2? I thought i saw somewhere it works with rooted devices?
It should work... It is blue tooth.

you would think but i guess there is something that prevents it from connecting except for the S3 or Note II.
I guess the S2 doesnt have Bluetooth 4.0...

My phone is an AT&T S2, sadly I don't remember the rom I was using in February. I believe it was a stock based rom. At that time, with the fitbit app then, my fb1 did sync.
Changing the rom, and fitbit's updates have stopped the sync, though.
So I am sure it could work with the hardware.

[Q] Samsung Galaxy Note Perks - Boingo wireless hotspot - what is this?

As part of the perks for buying the Note, Samsung also give me "12 months of Boingo wireless hotspot".
I did not register but went to Boingo website. I noticed that most of the "trusted" and "certified" hotspot are typical Starbucks, McDonald's, etc. hotspot. Other than airports' hotspot (which I don't use much), what are the benefit for using Boingo?
I have no idea. I actually uninstalled it becauseof the pop up notifications every time I logged into my home Internet.

You can disable the pop-up in the app. I haven't had a chance to try it at an airport yet to see if it gives me free access.

I bought my Note 8 too early since this was not included at the time. Does anybody know how early buyers can get this perk too?

does anyone know if we can use this on other devices, or just our galaxy note 8?

Try to register at Samsung Perks website. Can't remember the site name, but just Google it.

I think it's tied to your account instead of device specific, similar to Dropbox 50gb promo.

How can I access my ebooks on another tablet?

I bought some ebooks with the Samsung credit we got with this device. But I really don't want to read on such a large tablet. Can I access these books on another device? I would rather read on my Nexus 7, but I can't figure out a way to get my books there. I couldn't even find a way to access the on Samsung Note 8 tablet. It doesn't seem reasonable to sell books that can only be read on a single device, so I'm hoping someone here can help me figure out how to access content I purchased on another tablet.
Thanks

There are applications that provide this option, though your device must be rooted.

Can you share more info? Point me to the apps? My Nexus 7 and my Note 8 are both rooted. My Note 10 isn't, but I willing to root it if it helps.

Facebook? That's the only reference I can find to "fBook".
Btw, I tried installing Samsung Hub on my less than one year old (rooted) Samsung Note 8 and it installs but crashes on opening. Same result as on my Nexus 7 with build.prop edited to look like it's a Galaxy S4.
It is just insane that Samsung sells ebooks that aren't compatible with their own tablets.
How can I ever trust Samsung enough to purchase anything from them if what they sell isn't even compatible between the same family of devices of the current generation?!?

FBook is an ebook application.

"Rooted" being key here. They expect it to tun on the stock system. They cannot allow for hundreds of rooted options.

Right on the rooting, nothing special. FBook is the reader I used, it is no longer available. There are others that provide that option though.

Are you saying the reason the Samsung hub app crashes on my Note 8 and Nexus 7 is because they are rooted?
I still have made no progress accessing my ebooks I purchased on my Note 10.1 (2014) on any other device,
Any help is appreciated.

It's probably framework dependant just like a lot of the TouchWiz apps. The note 8.0 should have Samsung hub by default though, assuming you haven't debloated it.

I agree the Note 8 *should* have Samsung Hub, since it is a current generation Samsung device in the same family of tablets, but it doesn't. And it is not even listed as compatible on Samsung page:
http://www.samsung.com/us/samsunghub/
Which is why I'm at a loss why anyone would trust Samsung to buy anything from them if their own tablets aren't even compatible?

Are the books as single files? As in can ou browse for them on your device?
Or is it purchased through an application?
I use a combination of google drive + Moon Reader to achieve some thing similar.
All my books are on the google drive and moon reader + syncs my reading position so I can read on
