Why is the group cast feature missing from the AllShare play app on the ATT version galaxy note 2?
is there anyway to install an updated version of AllShare Play that includes this feature?
Is this feature something that no 1 else uses?
I just thought it strange that my galaxy note 10.1 running an older ICS ROM has this feature built into the AllShare play and yet my new Galaxy Note 2 running JB does not include this feature. Would love to be able to use this from my phone.
I find it hard to believe no 1 else is bothered by the fact that our galaxy note II does not include the group cast function in the AllShare app. Both the S 3 and galaxy note 10.1 has this feature built into the app.
I even fash the new nternational ROM onto my note II just to see if it would have the Group Cast function but it is still not there.
Is there any chance that this app could be replaced by the S 3 or note 10.1 one?

I noticed Group Cast on my wifes SIII but the only thing I see on the Note II is all share cast. I guess these two features are different, right.

Yes, Group Cast is a feature in AllShare Play that will allow your phone screen to display on another phone or device able to join a Group Cast..everyone can share what is on the screen. I have that feature on my Note 10.1 and, as you said, its on the S III but for some reason its not part of the function on the Note 2 app - I have no idea why they would have left it off.
I realize not many people use it, but in my family we all have Note 2 phones (and a few 10.1 tablets) and would love to use this feature with them all.
I posted on the S III forums asking if i were to side load the AllShare APK from the S III onto my Note 2 via TWRP would it work ? My hope is I can do that and overwrite the old AllShare APK on my Note 2 with the S III one that has that function built in. I do not think there is any hardware limitation on the Note 2 that would prevent it from working...
Anyone else know?

i used app share to send the allshare play apk from my wife's gs3 to my GN2. i then loaded this on my gn2 and it gave me a warning about changing a system file and i said ok. after the install i had allshare group cast. unrooted.

someone has to first start the group cast - to do this, go to the item you want to share. go to menu and then share file using groupcast... heck.. watch this

When i install the allshare play apk ripped from my GS3, i have a group cast option. However, for some reason it goes away as if the system is fixing itself. Need to check with other gn2 owners on other carriers to see if they have it.

Also, the share option isn't in the menu after you open the file, you have to open it from the menu before you open the file. I am using Astro file manager.
Press and hold file you want to share. Then press menu
Press share
Select Group Cast
Enter pin code
So I can get it working, but not sure what causes the app to return to its stock state.

GroupCast Missing THEORY
My wife and I own Verizon S3s and we have been using Groupcast since we got the phones. We noticed last night when launching Allshare it wanted to be updated and after that no more GroupCast. I have a theory about what happened as far as it pertains to our Verizon S3s. You can extrapolate from this to figure out what happened to your AT&T Note devices.
1.) Samsung released Jelly Bean 4.1.1 which used the old Allshare which had Groupcast inside it.
2.) Samsung released Jellybean 4.1.2 with Premium Suite. They decided to remove Groupcast from Allshare because it was confusing too many people to have an app within an app. So they made Groupcast its own app. (If you read any of the stories online about the Premium Suite you will notice one of the new features is a GroupCast app.) See the story below as an example of a mention of Groupcast app coming in 4.1.2:
Well, I had a link to the page here but since I haven't posted 10 times this site is making me remove it. Lets just say it was at the Sammobile website under a story about the korean galaxy sIII getting 4.1.2
3.) They released the Updated Allshare app (which doesn't have GroupCast in it) to the Google Play Store.
4.) You have either Ice Cream 4.0.0 or Jellybean 4.1.1 on your Verizon S3 phone since 4.1.2 is not yet available and won't be for probably 6 months.
5.) You launch the old Allshare app on your phone. The Allshare app checks for updates upon launch and sees the 4.1.2 version of Allshare is available in the Google Play store even though it is not compatible with your phone. You are asked if you want to update and of course you say yes because you don't realize you are accidentally deleting GroupCast. You are brought to the Google Play store to the Allshare app page and told Groupcast features will be removed from the app and Groupcast will be added as its own app. You go through with the update.
6.) Allshare is updated to remove Groupcast features. Share to Groupcast is removed from Gallery menu, etc.
7.) Groupcast app is NOT added to your phone because you don't have Android 4.1.2 with Premium Suite. After you update Allshare you will notice that something downloads in the notification tray and you get a second message that Allshare is again updated. I wonder if that second download is the GroupCast app that tries to install but doesn't show up in the app tray.
So you just lost Groupcast because you let Samsung update your phone! :crying:
Fortunately you can uninstall the update from the manage apps section and all the groupcast stuff gets put back to the way it was and it works again. :laugh:
I talked with a Samsung rep about this last night for 30 minutes and of course they had no idea what I was talking about and didn't even seem to comprehend my story. It was recommended that I clear the data and cache from Allshare, reboot the phone. I tried that but it didn't add Groupcast features anywhere I can detect. They then recommended that I do a hard reset on my phone. Well, today I got the Jelly Bean update and to me that should be akin to a hard reset. I re-ran the update to Allshare with the same results; still no Groupcast. :crying:
Unfortunately everytime you launch Allshare you will be prompted to update the app and you'll need to say 'No' if you want to keep Groupcast. :crying:
Looks like Samsung messed up somehow; at least that's my theory. I hope this helps people to get a better understanding of what happened and perhaps Samsung will realize that they should not have allowed people to update Allshare until 4.1.2 is available and we are allowed to download the Groupcast stand alone app. Maybe they will realize their mistake and send us a message with a link so we can download it before the 4.1.2 update is available.
Anyway, if anyone has a better idea or better facts than me let me know.

At a tmobile store and happened upon their Galaxy note 2 and noticed that their model has group cast installed and running. Maybe someone with access to one can identify necessary files so that it can be ported from their rom.

Hey Ya'll, There was an App that would tweak google talk so it would allow video chat over 4G...But it doesn't seem to be working with the Note2...it tries and doesn't give the error but doesn't connect.
has anyone successfully done this on the Note2?
I tried this system: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1390818

Normally I find KTool to be a lifesaver but with my Note2 it is having problems.
It states that the data to identify my device is incorrect. The 3 parameters that it shows for my Note2 are-
M=[GT-N7100]
D=[t03g]
P=[t03gxx]
and then it says it must close the program and closes.
Anyone got any ideas? ?
Please?

I`m sure i tried this app and i dont think is compatible with note7100.

This is what he says:
One Stop Shop V3
(literally everything in one easy flashable.zip that perfectly tunes your note 2 to
have the best apps and remove any conflicts with your current rom )
-not necessary unless you have a gear.. only benefits gear users
(Works best when flashed immediately after a FRESH rom is installed)
(before you reboot for the first time that is )
(fixed weather)
I would venture to say it's only for 4.3 TW ROMs.
Take note that Gear Flashable v4 (mk7 compatible ) Is to be flashed on the GEAR, BUT (must be running null rom and have nulltwrp installed)
