AllshareCast Dongle S/W update today - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

I got a notice to download the "AllshareCast Dongle S/W Update" to version LJ02 today. I don't have an AllshareCast dongle and I didn't even know that this app was installed on my phone. I'm wondering why they've pushed it out to everybody (I assume), since I imagine that only a tiny number of people have the app. Seems like it would make sense to install it only for people who actually have the dongle.
I'm thinking about uninstalling or freezing it. Has anybody else received it? Any thoughts?

I received the update last night around 130 am eastern........ Had no clue what it was. I am going to delete in a few minutes

It's supposed to allow the GS3 to update the software on the Allcast dongle that you can attach to TVs and such for device mirroring.

The update is showing as not compatible with my SGS3 if I look at it on the Play Store. Dunno if it's a region thing or the fact I'm rooted with stock?
I'm keen to try this update on my Allshare dongle. Would anyone be able to extract the APK for this update?

Are you on LH9? It seems to only work on LH9 and LI5.

It's not an ATT GS3, so it's not got that firmware on it, but is the latest stock for my region, as far as I know (UK).
I was hoping the APK alone might still work, as it appears to be updating the Allcast dongle itself, rather than being tied to anything on the phone, hardware-wise.
Perhaps Samsung are rolling it out to a select few 'test' firmwares first? I believe I'm on LJ4, but I'm not up on Samsung's firmware terminology - not needed to really stray from rooted stock on this phone.
If you're able to extract the APK, it would be much appreciated

This is a legitimate Samsung update and it is a part of the function that allows you to share the screen with Dlna enabled devices such as blue ray players, wdtv (and other streaming boxes) and hdtv with the function.

Are you sure about that? What you're describing sounds like "AllShare Play" which is a completely different app. Where did you get your information that this app has some connection to DLNA?

I have been using the all share dongle. It is just as described as above. I mirror my phone thru the dongle to and TV with a HDMI port. Or Samsung devices. Play videos games whatever. All share play let's you remote control devices from your phone. All share dongle does work thru some type of dlna service from what I read on Samsung site and other places.
I was using this feature before the update was put out. It now shows up as a installed app. Before the update it was just something you could turn on in settings and still is.

It's the pre configured scan portion for the $90 wifi dongle that you buy to connect to hdmi port on projectors and hdtv displays and or the software for your computer that allows you to share via wifi or Internet.
I bought the MHL connection and carry a cable so when I am in hotels I watch what I want (netflix, Hulu) while the phone charges.
But the address of the developer is legit.

I'm sure that the update is legit. I just want to avoid confusion and misinformation about what it's for:
The Allshare Cast Dongle app supports the Allshare Cast Dongle
The Allshare Play app provides DLNA connectivity to DLNA-capable devices
I believe that the Allshare Cast Dongle does not use DLNA and that this update has no relationship to the Allshare Play app or to DLNA capability. If anybody has good evidence to the contrary, please post it.
That being said, my guess is that this new update being pushed out is useless to the great majority of us who don't have the dongle.

I'm pretty sure All Share Cast is Samsung's version of Miracast.

That's exactly what it is, I don't think the dongle uses DLNA at all.
I've found that this update has been changed to be compatible with my phone (stock UK GS3) over the last few days. It originally was shown as not compatible.
It basically prompts you to update your Allshare Cast dongle firmware when you next connect to it. It updates the dongle firmware - wirelessly - to version LJ02, which appears to have made the dongle connection much more stable, and quicker to establish.

OK, so I installed the update, then uninstalled it when I saw that it was useless for me. Now, I am getting a perpetual update notice in Google Play. Does anybody know a way to make the update notice go away without actually installing the app? The only way I can think of is to install it and then freeze it, but that seems like a waste.

I just had a quick back and forth with Samsung. It is Not a official app. All official app can be found at www.Samsungapps.com.
Edit: seems that Samsung isn't sure it is or not.... They talked with someone else who says that it is valid. XDA has it marked as bloatware that can be removed.
Edit2: Lookout Security says they've been asked about it before and "We have encountered this in the past and Samsung has stated that this is their app via our contact." I'm requesting it be confirmed.
Edit3: A second person at Samsung support says it's not official and a 3P app.
It CAN be un installed with TI. First detach it from the market and then uninstall. It's actual name is com.sec.fwupgrade so don't be alarmed when it says that. I will be sending it to a couple of security vendors to include in malware lists and questioned Samsung why they have not had the app removed.

Nexus Q and HTC Media link should work. I am not sure if they are exact mirrors like the dongle but it should be.
Nexus Q can't do screen mirroring. The HTC Medialink isn't compatible with the Galaxy S3 due to proprietary software.
You're stuck with the $99 allshare cast dongle. I'd wait though since a lot of screen mirroring solutions are going to be made available and most likely cheap by the end of 2012. The WiFi Alliance is working on something called Miracast which is essentially android screen mirroring.

Apparently someone said the HTC media link works with the GS3. There was a thread on it.
You could buy a Samsung DVD or bluray player that has the allshare capability.

..different things, all share DLNA ( share movies from PC, phone to TV ) is different to All share cast ( where the phone is replicated on TV )
Need this!
So Im a school teacher and bought a GSIII for this accessory. Why isnt it available and does anyone know when it will be available? Im trying to do research now to see if I can get the HTC one to work with my GSIII, also I have a Nexus7 I would like to figure out how to make that work as well.
due to the overpricing of this thing (it'll be about 110 USD in sweden) I decided to pre-order an Ouya instead as it basically gives me the features I wanted an allshare dongle for but at the same price. But for those $100 I get a standalone tegra 3 device instead, basically a htc one x without a screen. It wont be out until march but the money value here is worth the wait.
Hello, anyone know if it´s possible to emulate the allshare cast dongle with a PC ??
i mean, that piece of hardware must use some software that can be inatalles as a program in a notebook and then the notebook connected to the TV.
Could this be done?
PD: chrome cast doesn´t mirror the games for example and samsung dongle yes

With all the new apps and wireless technologies out there now, is there a way to get the same cast functionality going through an XBOX connected TV with your phone?

I installed Mirror OP sender and Mirror Op receiver on my notebook and cell phone and then connected the notebook with HDMI to my TV. I have mirror now, but it has too much lag.
If someone make some retroengineering on an all share cast dongle i think we can emulate it, the notebook or pc connected to the tv has to have enough power to copy the software functions of that dongle!! . Soemone must know more about this.

I would be surprised if not nearly any laptop out there got more power than the small dongle device?
In addition I think the lag (most recognizable in games) might come from the wireless transmission maybe?

they told me that feature was only available for rooted concept devices, so... we can see that they do the same as Chrome Cast dongle but without buying any dongle. ...
this so called "WEB PAGE SHARE" function doesnt appear on new note 2, s4, s3 or note 3, maybe someone can make a rom or something to make this work ??? its also showed in this video:

Looking for a wireless solution similar to Samsung all share.
I don't know if one but if you hear be sure to tell me too.
And unless Samsung changed All Share since I had my epic touch you couldn't wireless mirror. It only would let you do videos, audio, and images wirelessly. Please correct me if I am wrong but I am pretty sure on this.
I think what the poster is referring to is wirelessly mirroring everything like browsing the net and playing games.
To add to this, I saw a Korean video of someone demonstrating the optimus g on a tv while using the phone wirelessly. So it is possible. I don't know what app it was but I don't remember a cord. If I find the video I will post the link.

I have a Netgear Miracast/Intel WiDi display adapter connected to my tv. The OG picks up the Netgear as a compatible adapter and seems ready to output to it wirelessly but when I tell it to connect, nothing happens. The OG says it is connecting but never actually does. I noticed though that the instructions the phone displays says to either connect the LG Miracast dongle or turn on the Miracast feature on the tv. So potentially a LG Miracast donlge exists that may allow for the use of mirroring the OG or maybe some LG tvs have this feature builtin and it can be used that way.

I upgraded to JB and now when I try to use Miracast with my Netgear PTV3000, it works initially but disconnects after about 2 minutes every time. Also, when streaming HD video over Miracast, its now initially very jerky/choppy (lots of dropped frames), though it eventually smooths out but then as mentioned above, it disconnects. I had no such issues with ICS (everything worked fine) so I think the Miracast streaming/disconnect problems are due to some issue with the stock JB ROM and not my Netgear adapter.

FL04 jellybean and Samsung allshare media hub at sprint

I went yo the sprint store to pay my bill and saw this on the way out. It apparently, to the uninitiated, acts like a router but only connects with allshare and HDMI to the TV. A salesman and myself tried playing with it. I'm on calkulin el29 2.8.1. and couldn't connect to the in store model. Upon further investigation, it only works with the note 1&2 and the s3. I couldn't figure out why or what's the difference that those devices have that mine doesn't. Could it be jellybean? I installed fl04 but couldn't make it back to test it out. I'm assuming it's a jb thing. So the other hardware has nfc, big f'in deal. You have to be extremely close for that to work. It can't be that it's on the n band of wifi, can it? Afaik, this phone can go dual band. Does anyone have an explanation or work around for this? I've got a roku and wdtv and Panasonic bluray and my gf has a Sony br. Very few file types actually play on these dlna devices from the phone. I've tried allshare and imediashare and a few others but if one won't play them then none of them will work. I thought there might be such a thing as a device like this one that its only function is being a dlna receiver, but I can't find anything other than this. Apparently HTC makes something similar but it only works on their phones. What the heck?

The media server and display device need to be connected to the same network.
In your example, your phone needs to be connected to the same wireless network as the shop's TV.
Allshare is just Samsung's name for DLNA media sharing. Fun to play with in the home.

Just fyi, since the update to JB, Samsung has added in some media component to the movie player so you can stream to a samsung smart tv. This feature wasnt available in GB or ICS
You can do this with photos in the gallery app as well...

Okay. Then maybe I should flash back to fl04 and see if it connects. I should download the user manual for it and see if you have to connect the hub to your network or the phone connects directly to the hub. I don't have any other dlna devices besides the phone that could feed the hub. The sales people said that it will only work with Samsung phones and allshare. That's too bad that it isn't your standard dlna hub, but it looks like its software between the phone and hub are made to be proprietary. I hate crap like that. Plus, their asking price of $100 is too much IMO. I'd pay $50 at the most for it. That was the general consensus with reviews of it. It works with only a limited amount of new phones and it's too expensive for what it is.
Dlna, across the board, has one requirement; same network as stated above. Have the shop attach your device to their network and it'll work. It's not proximity like nfc.

hmm
if you have a wirless router in your house, you do not need the allshare media hub as long as you have a samsung smart tv (not sure about other smart tv manufacturers)
When I ran the all share app it browsed my PC then streamed a video from the PC to the phone, then my Sony TV switched inputs by its self and started playing the movie on the tv without wires
You dont even need a smart TV, I play music, videos, slideshows, etc... through my xbox all I do is choose the switch player option :thumbup:

[Bounty] Allshare Cast Wireless Hub fix for rooted phones

It appears that regardless of the ROM or kernel, if your phone is rooted then the Allshare Cast Wireless Hub will not work. I've searched through nearly every Rom thread in the development section and I couldn't find anyone that has it working. I've tried resetting the flash counter to 0 via Triangle Away and tried using the stock rom and kernel to no avail. The wireless hub was a Christmas gift from my mother and I don't have the heart to take it back because as it stands now it's a $70 paper weight. I looked through the rules and it doesn't appear that these types of threads are against the rules. I'm hoping that someone can find a fix for this that will make it work on rooted phones. I'm even willing to send out my wireless hub to a developer if they don't have one so they can try to fix it.

I had one for a week before returning it to Amazon. It wasn't reliable for me. I seem to remember rooting being ok. However, the Rom and recovery would need to be stock. Maybe I remember wrong.

I'll match you hoffy, I would love to see the hub reliably fixed for our s3's without going back to stock.
I can only match you frustration. I have spent many hours trying myself and researching how to fix this only to find that it appears to be a problem within the kernel its self. With the Rom, kernel, and everything stock it works. I have tried on many threads to see if we could get a dev to pick this up with no avail. We have some great kernels out there and besides who wants to stay 100% stock or let's face it why would we be on Xda forums. I would be willing to donate as well. Their has to be some way to resolve the issue.

I might be misunderstanding the purpose of the hub - AllShare used to be a version of media streaming protocol, allowing devices like Xboxes and bluray players to stem media from your phone. Is the hub supposed to be a way of adding that capability to tvs that don't have it built in?
Or is it supposed to allow full screen sharing? (As in being able to see your home screen or play Angry Birds on your big screen, for example)

I have a rooted S3 running Wicked Sensations ROM. The only modification I had to make to my phone was reinstalling my Samsung account on the phone.
Hope this info helps point somebody in the right direction.

I have a Samsung smart tv, and I can't figure out how to make my Galaxy note show it's screen directly. It does link DNLA as photos or videos but then in simple sequential mode with no apps to control it with.

DLNA only does media streaming, not screen sharing.

The difference is that with media streaming, the file is played by the device being streamed to (streaming basically means that the file is played as it is downloaded, rather than waiting for the whole file to transfer before starting playback). The media must be prerecorded, so live interaction with an app is impossible (and tvs and bluray players have no idea what to do with an apk file).
Screen sharing is more like connecting a camera to your tv and pointing it at your phone's screen - the phone does all of the processing, which is why you can see the android interface and all of your apps in real time. It's basically like your phone is the computer and the tv is just the monitor.

Such screen sharing is just what I want. It allows you to use all the nice tools and apps on the phone, instead of the crude sequential slide shows one can see on the TV, for example. Also, sometimes I want to demo a program or show a map from my phone on the big screen, so others can see it happen (looking over one's shoulder isn't optimal!).
Allshare cast requires a additional accessories. Call a hub. It will then share your phone screen with other devices. Tv's. Cpu etc

Also if you want to stream go to settings. Then more settings and turn on nearby devices. Then you can stream to any wifi connected device. No hub
Needed. The hub is only for screen share

triangle away does not solve it for me either.

Unfortunately, you won't be able to do that with a bluray player... If you can connect a computer to a display large enough for your needs (such as your tv), then you might be able to set up a vnc server on your phone and a vnc viewer on the computer. The setup might take some tweaking, especially to deal with screen rotation, and vnc is likely to have a slight lag... otherwise, it appears that the AllShare hub or a similar device (if one exists and is compatible) will be the only other way to do wireless screen sharing
On a semi related note, does anyone here know what the hdmi cable for the S3 will display on the external screen? In other words, does it share the screen or just media that is playing on the phone?

Let me start off with a disclaimer: I have never used Allshare, nor do I have a hub. That being said, I would put a good chunk of money on the problem being caused by HDCP. I would recommend researching this.

It will share the screen, if you have the proper cable (and 5-11 pin adapter with some older cables); I have a Galaxy Note II, and that also works well sharing the screen. One can also use DLNA features to share media, but I find that screen sharing is much more convenient, since one has all the user interface advantage of the Android apps. I also would prefer if screen sharing could be done wireless. Samsung is being coy about this issue, I think, confusing everyone with the AllShare names, keeping the descriptions vague, etc. If one can share screen wirelessly with any Samsung Smart TV, even the latest, I haven't seen any posts to verify that. Some posts seem to imply that the "dongle" is needed only for older TVs, but that seems to be incorrect (and the dongle seems not to work well in any case from my reading). I would be happy to have these conclusions refuted.
AllShare Cast HUB mirrors everything u see on ur phone on ur tv. AllShare App streams pics, videos, music. Just like IMedia Share. Mirroring and Streaming are different.

Sprint Note 2 SPH-L900
The vid below is the only proof I was able to find of it working with a modified ROM. His kernel looks stock. I tried it with Whomp 2.6 with no luck although he is running 2.4 in this vid. I had already bought TriangleAway from PlayStore which did reset my flash counter on-screen without the resetting phone cycle it goes through otherwise but I think this was only when I had Perseus kernel or before I said yes to the MA7 update which failed anyway due to not being stock. Now that I set it back to stock kernel with stock boot loader TA will no longer visually reset my flash counter. I originally rooted with the Note2 toolkit and opted for adding the insecure boot image. I am going to try to just re-flash to complete stock and use CF auto and see how it goes. I just want to use my allshare cast dongle so I can keep the phone charged when screen sharing AND be rooted. Stupid to have to jump through so many hoops to use this dongle and some apps that only work if rooted.

**Update** I messed with it some more and tried to keep track of the variable steps I did to make it work for me. I left Whomp 2.6 installed and did a full wipe in stock boot-loader. I noticed after 1st boot before any updates or downloads happened that my device status reported as "normal". The 1st things I downloaded were my SuperSU Pro key and my paid Triangle Away. I ran Triangle Away which was no longer able to give an on-screen flash count in android on the stock kernel but it seems to do what it is supposed to do as it showed everything was stock in download mode. After I rebooted from the 1st run of Triangle Away I checked status which was in a long cycle of "scanning" only to end in "Modified" status. I finally got Allshare Cast to work like the vid above. I'm pretty sure you just need to check the box at the bottom for the system modified workaround in Triangle Away. Now I need to update to MA7 and see if I can still have everything work.
**Working great update** Whompasaurus 2.7.1 and stock bootloader and stock kernel. Think I may have taken the "long-cut" but I pretty much got it all working with this ROM and Triangle Away. Allshare Cast dongle is working great. Watched every episode of CHOSEN on Crackle on the TV. Somehow I broke Pie Navigation Control so I just re-installed the APK and it works again. Only thing that fails now is trying to use the ROMs wifi tether which crashes the phones Settings but at least with no lockup just a slight delay and back to normal just no launching of wifi tether. I will try to do the same for that. For now I have Klink usb that I bought a while ago.

Samsung allshare cast dongle

I have htc media link hd but GE based roms don't run this device. I gone to samsung centre, tried allshere cast dongle and ok..... GE 4.3 Setting > screen > wireless display. I bought one and happy. (1080p is ok)
Sorry my English.
but before conection reset device everytime
I'm not familiar with this device, but doesn't the Google Chromecast have more potential?
I have a samsung galaxy s4 and am planning to buy the allshare wifi dongle/cast, but i have a doubt after reading reviews in the Amazon on this product. Can you/any one please confirm this: I have a home WiFi network, and I am planning to Browse internet, watch youtube on my phone after connecting to all share dongle. will it possible to do it? I heard that you have to enable wifi direct on your phone to connect to the dongle, doing so will disconnect my phone from Wi-Fi Home network ... is it Rit?

Difficult to say at this stage, whilst they are similar in concept, the execution is very different. Chromecast doesn't screen mirror, but does stream separately from your device. I have both, and have different uses for both.

I use AllShare Cast on my Galaxy Note 2 and 8 - yes, it does connect via WiFi Direct, but this doesn't mean you are disconnected from your home network. i.e. you can still browse the web, watch Netflix etc whilst screen mirroring via AllShare.

Dave

thanks dave. Another thing here... buying allshare will limit the usage to only Samsung devices... any other device which can accept any android 4.0+ devices and mirror the screen on HD TV ???

It does appear as a Miracast device to my Nexus 4, which detects, connects, and mirrors.
My HTC One detects it and I've had it connect and mirror for a few seconds, but haven't been able to connect again.

Not anymore, it doesn't.
Google just pushed an OTA that breaks any kind of local streaming capability except the PC Chrome > Cast one.
It's obvious that the Chrome cast was subsidized by big media companies, and they didn't like it when devs like Koush were able to stream straight from phone to TV. This would make piracy easier.
This is absolutely ret... dumb. The biggest reason I bought Chromcast was to stream my photos and videos. My CC has been sitting behind my TV collecting dust since the day I got. I tried out Allcast, it was great. Then this came along... I'm considering returning my CC.
Hello, anyone know if it´s possible to emulate the allshare cast dongle with a PC ??
i mean, that piece of hardware must use some software that can be inatalles as a program in a notebook and then the notebook connected to the TV.
Could this be done?
PD: chrome cast doesn´t mirror the games for example and samsung dongle yes
Hello everyone.
Am I able to connect my lg g3 to samsungs allshare cast dongle for mirroring and etc.?
