Ok so ive been digging around here and there and really want to purchase the allshare cast hub to use my note 2 on my tv. That being said I have read many negative reviews about how horrible the sound is or how bad the quality is/ lagginess, etc.
Can others voice there experiences with the allshare cast hub?
On the other hand there is also this smart dock I have been reading about that turns your phone practically into a desktop computer. I think its sweet as hell but the 144 dollar price tag tells me other wise.
Please start ha all information is good information, maybe this can be a quide/ review page of people's experiences with the allshare cast or something like that, thanks! have a good one brothers and sisters!
I tried using AllShare on my Windows 7 computer. I have a pci-e card with 4 cable ready tuners. It uses windows media center to record in HD using (.wtv). This format is not supported by AllShare. I could not find anyone in their Allshare tech support to help. Samsung TV support could not tell me what speed their network ports are or what standards the Wifi on the new TVs is.

I have been using the allshare cast hub in my car hooked up to a Pioneer Appradio2 to mirror my display on the appradio and I have no sound quality issues. Connection is quick and easy. If you are rooted you will need to make sure your flash counter is set to 0 or the allshare cast will not work.

Lol my counter is pretty high, and I use all share to connect to my ps3 all the time...only thing is I can't figure out how to send files...I can only send media.

Hi guys,
I want to know is there any way where I can clone my note 2 games visuals or anything to my hdtv?
I'm able to transfer videos, audio over dlna.
I bought a hdmi connecter but thats wired so playing motion sensitive games are awkward having cable attached to it.

Unfortunately you will need to do some investment over here to get this work, it wont work automatically as we thought.
Here is all the detail you need:

Yes Samsung just lied that you wont need any extra hardware to get the screen miroor.

Hi, as I am not 100% satisified with the amount of storage the new nexus 7 tablet provides (lack of SD card slot),I have been trying to watch movies from a USB through an OTG adapter. How can I watch the movies or what apps do I need in order to be able to watch them?
Thanks, Stuart McD
Get an USB OTG cable and Stickmount or Nexus Media Importer. Just plug and open one of the apps. (Stickmount doesn't work for me, I don't know why)

I know this is overkill for what you are trying to do but it may interest some. I got a Western Digital 2 terabyte Live network hard drive and put all of my movies and TV shows on it. It is ethernet only so I have it plugged into my router. They have an android app that let's you access it from anywhere you have Internet. You can stream videos from it or download them. You can also upload to it from any where. It works fantastic.

I'm using Nexus Media Importer along with the MX player to watch videos on my Nexus 7. It works fine.

Do you need to download the video to the nexus 7 or can you watch it from the USB?
The videos are kept on the usb stick, no need to download to your Nexus.

Yep, that's it. Once plugged in pull down your notifications and tap the usb and change your settings.
Ok. Done. Tv still doesn't recognize, but does recognize usb stick, btw, I bought a sd reader/writer usb adapter it doesn't recognize. Im trying to watch movies I have downloaded to my phone, on my tv. TV is brand new.

Have you tried using wifi-direct?That may be your only option short of screen mirroring via wifi or dongle.
How do I wifi direct? My tv is a smart tv. Run the wifi on my tv and let phone recognize it?

I dont think its as easy as plugging a usb stick in the tv. My tv reads the usb stick easily. It wont do the same for my phone. Always a complication when u think or should be easy

You might look at AllCast.
The issue is probably the drivers then. The TV likely has a basic USB driver in it so the USB stick will work, but probably won't allow the phones drivers to install on the TV. So like what was mentioned, if you can't wifi direct or screen mirror (must have Samsung TV for that to be on the TV) you will likely need a Samsung Allcast/Allshare hub. Which in my mind isn't worth it when you can just move them over to a USB stick and watch them from there.
Theres not a rom or driver or sumthn to fix it?

Where did you get your movies from that you can't access on your smart tv? You should be able to stream them from wherever/whatever app you got them from...unless you got them illegally
But nevertheless, AllCast mentioned above is an option, but I think the better option is to get a TV video adapter for your phone? Why not get an HDMI/MHL cable? Duh! They're cheap, like 10 bucks off ebay. Make sure you have the 10/11-pin adapter, not the 5-pin, in regards of the Note 3.
If screen mirroring isn't your savvy and you want the full HD experience of accessing your videos directly thru usb, there is a way to mount your phone as a usb mass storage rather than MTP, but Samsung (and others) don't allow that capability in their OS's (probably to try to get you to use their stupid Kies software). To work around this you'll need root and a terminal emulator. In terminal enter su and type "setprop persist.sys.usb.config mass_storage". THIS MIGHT REALLY MESS UP YOUR USB & ADB CONFIGURATION. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK! Really it's not a big deal tho, to revert back use "setprop persist.sys.usb.config mtp,adb" and reboot like 3 times until it finally fixes itself.
Hope this helps!

What's the best format of a video to be played on a TV? I haven't tried this yet. My videos are currently on MP4 format. Thanks!
The videos are playable on anything. So what next? I did the terminal emulator....verbatim. .. nothing happened. My phone didnt slap me in the face or gouge my eyes. However, I didnt plug it into the tv yet. Yes I have allshare.

Thats a big ol negatory big rap. Terminal thingy is a no go. Thanx tho. And duh! I could just push the stuff to my usb and play it. But! I paid for top of the line (note3). It should wipe my a$$. And I have no doubt it will.....one day
