NO its unfortunate but there appears NOT to be an HDMI cable coming for our phone. The only wired method for video is Composite and maybe S-Video, but that will NOT be HD.
Your best best is DLNA. I would highly suggest getting a device that can run either XBMC or Boxee as both support an always evolving list of codecs, removing any worry of playback though DLNA.
What are you dislikes abut adding a DLNA capable streamer to your TV?

so... i have a brand new 50" 8000 series Samsung plasma that DOES support DLNA. does that mean i can stream video off my phone?!
EDIT: omg! this is awesome. streaming wireless...perfectly! using allshare.

Is this confirmed working with the vibrant? It says needs software update to work, last time I read that was for the dock and it required 2.2.

This again? That cable is old news. It was confirmed to NOT work. Samsung also said themselves that it won't work. Unfortunately, not all areas of the internet have been cleaned up appropriately. The site linked to in post #4 even says it won't work until Samsung makes it work.

Ever heard of doing research before making an ASS out of yourself. What the hell is wrong with you that makes you need to replay to an obviously helpful post with a snide remark? How about you go to the kiddie table until you learn to interact with adults in a proper manner.
Thank you for playing, come again.

Does that fit the bill?

I was more searching for a mirroring app not just a media player one so that i can play my games or anything else on the screen, something else coming?
thanks

Nope no mirroring afaik.

Think you have to wait for the wifi display (check wikipedia) standard to be rolled out.

Connectivity demo video [UDPATE: new vid, NOVA 3+PS3 controller+HDTV+"how to" guide]

Connectivity demo video [UDPATE: new vid, NOVA 3+PS3 controller+HDTV+"how to" guide]
Basically rather large medley showing many of the connection options available for the Galaxy S3, make sure to use the nav links in the video description to get around the vid:
Note: Since the video I also got NOVA 3 on my S3 and playing it via MHL on my HDTV with a PS3 controller over bluetooth (every bit as freaking sweet as it sounds). Anyone want a guide?
[UPDATE] Demo and guide for playing NOVA 3 wirelessly via a PS3 controller, much better experience (especially on an HDTV and with a home theatre system connected!). Until you've made videos where you control the game by viewing it through the viewfinder in your camera please refrain from being too critical about how badly I suck

Ya sure a guide would b much appreciated

Yep, it's the one that is specific to the S3 (11 pin set-up, rather than 5 like the older ones - I have two of those so I'm annoyed about the change too).

Do you know if you can use a 2.4ghz wireless air fly mouse/keyboard combo while the phone is hooked up to HDTV through mhl? If so, what would I need besides the mhl adapter? USB hub?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium

Just tried an unpowered 4 port USB hub with a 32gb flash drive connected and the phone crashed and rebooted.

Excellent video mate, is the S3 your main phone these days? I'm sure I remember you doing a similar review on the Galaxy Note, that's what I have although I did get an S3 for the missus and it is tempting, but I'm holding out for the Note 2.
By the way, can you point me in the direction of a relatively cheap bluetooth keyboard and mouse that will work with my Note, but a set that doesn't come with a usb dongle since I want to use the micro usb port on the phone to connect it via MHL to my TV. If that makes sense.

Yep, S3 is my daily (still love my Note though). Will get the Note 2 for sure and totally respect holding out for it.
Understand what you're saying about the keyboard thing and MHL, will take a look and find some suitable ones for you.

Wow, now that is impressive. I can't believe how much you can do with the S3, simply amazing. The S3 kicks all other "smart" phones back to the dark ages . Another vote for a numptys guide please, first time smart/droid phone user here. Or I will be if my phone ever turns up

Awesome. $10 sure beats $40 for the official adapter. Just need some compatibility confirmation reviews before pulling the trigger.

Is there anyone out there with a USB DAC who can verify the S3 can actually output digital audio via USB?
This is a long time wish for audiophiles, who will all be getting an S3 if this functionality works.

[Q] Samsung Allshare cast dongle - availability

Hi guys,
Does anyone know when the allshare cast dongle will be available to order ? The only info I could find is probably somewhere around late June according to this seller http://www.clove.co.uk/samsung-allshare-cast-dongle-samsung-galaxy-s3
I really can't wait to surf/play on my big tv screen I know that I can buy the mhl adapter but I'll probably wait for the dongle to be released.
Thanks in advance !

Samsung South Africa
I queried with Samsung South Africa an a local retailer which gave me an ETA of middle JULY.
Real pity since they had these demoed at the UK launch event middle May...
But Polaris Office 4 was also demoed on not yet available ANYWARE. Well the price we pay for being first.
At least the stock S3 is an amazing device. Perhaps they are stagerring the hardware to give them more time to get firmware "extra nice"..

Yep my local retailers think it'll come out mid July as well.. Can't wait. And agreed, this phone in stock configuration is awesome!

They have the WiFi dongle for preorder and $40 that's half the price as clove. If it's legitimate I am definitely getting one.
By the way I posted this in a similar thread. I thought they would benefit from this post as well.

Unfortunately, that's not the Allshare Cast dongle. That's the MHL adapter, which allows you to connect your S3 to a HDMI TV using a corded connection. (HDMI cable not included in the box).

I've been looking around and have seen it as low as $80 US dollars to over $100. All with shipping included. I just broke down and bought the mhl adapter tonight for $36.49. That should work for now tell the price comes down.

Also getting the 11 pin MHL adaptor now (ordered, but waiting for stock) and Just ordered the allshare cast dongle as well (5 week lead time :-() but work is paying, so can afford to wait. Will post review when/if it finally arives.
Paying ZAR 850 so that is about €80.

Teh difference is that that is a stick that'll allow the tv to gain wifi capability. It's pretty much a wifi card. So if you link up the tv to your home network you can stream from the phone to tv via the allshare app..

The allshare cast dongle uses wifi direct to stream your phones screen to an hdtv, letting you mirror your phone on the tv. The item you linked to plugs into a tv and lets it connect to your home network and access the internet.

thanks guys but I'm none the wiser. It does allshare and its cheaper than the allshare dongle. I just dont get what its limitations are. Are you SURE it can accept stream?

This is a WiFi adaptor for Samsung Smart TV’s, which allows the TV to access the internet and DLNA files via your wireless access point.
The AllShare Cast WiFi dongle connects to an HDMI port on your TV, any TV not just Samsung TV’s, and allows amongst other things, your SIII display to be mirrored on the TV.
MaNIaC

Just to be clear wifi direct is different from normal network sharing technologies like DLNA. Wifi direct lets you connect two devices without using an existing wireless network. So for example if I didn't have a wireless internet network setup I could still wireless stream to an HDTV using Wifi direct. In principle it works similarly to the way bluetooth does but allows for much higher bandwidth

The wifi direct supports all share. So in theory I can plug this into my 2009 samsung to stream movie and game content to my tv
Edit. Or not because it's not smart. Got it

I hope someone comes up with a trickery/hack/mod so we can use the dongle to stream from a laptop as well if it's even possible.

Basically this in layman terms.
The GS3 has wifi built in which connects with the allsharecast dongle and the dongle displays the image of the GS3 onto the HDTV.
The dongle you posted just gives wifi to devices that do not have wifi built in. Since the GS3 already has wifi built in, that dongle does absolutely nothing for the GS3. but it does make your TV DNLA compatible since not all of the older TVs have DNLA standard but if your TV does have DNLA, then that dongle you posted is useless for BOTH the GS3 and your TV.
You can connect the GS3 with allshare cast enabled TVs but that just lets you display pictures and videos, it doesn't completely mirror your phone, and the entire UI on your phone, to the TV though.

[Q] Video out

Does the nexus 7 have video out? I am coming from Ipad 2 and that is one feature I need in a tablet.
I don't mind buy an extra cable. Already did that with the ipad. I have a dumb lcd tv, so no help there.

There's no system setting that is supposed to be applied while plugging the cable. It should show up into the tv. How much time you've waited for it to come?
