AllshareCast Dongle S/W update today

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.

[Q] Note 8 (N51XX) - Allshare Cast Dongle problem - Rooted stock rom

Hi,
I am using rooted stock rom from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2332999
With this rom, I am unable to connect to my allshare Cast Dongle.
Then I found it might be about being rooted.
So, I applied the fix with TriangleAway to reset flash counter.
However, even after reset with Tirangleaway, the download screen shows flash counter 1.
I guess that's because of the behaviour of new bootloader.
But this way I still can't connect to my Allshare Cast Dongle.
It connects than says it's disconnected.
Is there anyone who successfully connects to allshare Cast Dongle from Note 8 ?
Is there anyone who successfully connects to allshare Cast Dongle from Note 8 with a rooted rom ?
Btw, I also installed stock recovery to have flash counter 0 but it didn't help.
Please help me.

This guide works on my note 8 w/ rooted stock + custom kernel..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2165882
My device status stays "Official", that probably what is needed to get the allshare cast working.
EDIT:
apparently it doesn't work.
Flash counter need to be zero for allshare cast to work = stock kernel and recovery.
Darn samsung.

At least we know it works in some configuration .
Technically it wouldn't be a bad idea from a legal and membership perspective for Samsung to cause an HDCP or other fall on rooted devices.

I figured that's what you were saying after I posted my comment. Sorry I didn't mean to come across as a wise guy

I am thinking of getting the AllShareCast dongle and I have the N5100 which is rooted. It's just disappointing to hear that it doesn't work on a rooted device. Can anyone out there confirm that there is a way for it to work on a root? Are there alternate wireless HDMI dongles that work with the Note 8?
I need one for a big presentation next month.
rooted stock Galaxy Note 8 GT-N5100

I believe the Netgear PTV3000 or whatever it is and possibly the older model, should work as should Miracast capable dongles in general. YMMV however, especially over HDCP. I know the S3 and Nexus 4 Miracast take different details on it.
From a serious use perspective as someone that owns both Samsung's MHL and Miracast adapters, it's not a big loss unless you actually need the wireless. You can get 1080p30 out of the wired adapter and solid performance, despite the loss of the MicroUSB port, this is pretty good stuff. You can even use MultiWindow while using the MHL but not while using Miracast. Using the AllShare Cast dongle you can get 720p (I forget the frame rate) and a latency that slingshots wildly (even the best systems are still 60ms or worse I believe). On top of that because of the Wi-Fi direct connection, latency is going to be worse if your dongle isn't dual band and things that auto scale video quality to network bandwidth are liable to degrade.
Using the Samsung dongle, artifacts and codec issues are quite common, and the latency makes it only suitable for video playback and "Producitivty" apps. Gaming with it is a failure waiting to happen, in so much as something like Shadowgun or Dead Trigger goes. Where as it is very pleasent with the MHL adapter.

I'm surprised to see that there are others with same problem on Note 8 and Allshare Cast dongle.
Is there any Note 8 user with rooted rom and capable of using the dongle ?
Also, I didn't understand about the miracast discussion. as far as I know, our Note 8 does not have miracast software included. (at least with official samsung rom)
how do you use miracast ?
is Netgear PTV3000 a miracast client/dongle ?

What if you turn off root and make sure root app is in data and not in system /APP.
It is the same with readershub, if the superuser or supersu app is in system it wont work.
that is why in my custom rom I put it in data.

My custom kernel and in triangle away I use the option, reset at boot, this way on every reboot it stays at 0.

@civato
I noticed that. But then I wrote the last situation with your kernel and v2.90
But withthat config (v2.90 on your kernel) I am unable to reset the counter.
First of all, the app does not boot the device as in v3.0. It says the counter is reset but it does not reset. When I reopen the app or check on status I see flash counter 2.
btw, I've explained my problem in detail on your kernel thread at:

can you check that please ? thx.

I'd appreciate any answers.

AllShare Cast is Samsung's name for Miracast or WiDi, much the same that AllShare Play (now Samsung Link) was their name for their DLNA software. The modern firmware supports Miracast, to my understanding the Netgear miracast dongles devices work and have better performing codecs. HDCP issues between the various dongles, TouchWiz, CyanogenMod, and Nexus ROMs cause some compatability issues. A couple CyanogenMod developers have posted at length about this on Google Plus: the HDCP differences between dongles/ROMs, what works with what, and the performance of the dongles and various phones hardware/firmware.
Basically if you're using "AllShare Cast", you are using Miracast.
I have not invested in the Netgear dongles for my own testing because the wired connection is best for my purposes (playing games and Netflix streaming). My Galaxy S3 and Note 8.0 are the only devices that I have that support Miracast, so I can't test the dongle with other stuff.
BTW the models of some Galaxy devices are certified Miracast (the GT-I9300 GS3 was, I assume the international S4's are).

Thanks for the information.
So, the Netgear dongle is in fact usable with Allshare Cast ?
Does it perform better ?
Does it have the issue with rooted firmwares ?
I am using rooted N5100 rom on a N5105 and Allshare Cast Dongle does not stay connected because the system is modified.
If Netgear doesn't have this problem I will order one.

As you can see my status with my custom rom and kernel.
I press the reset counter and it just resets it to 0.
No reboot needed.
If I reboot or even flash a new custom rom it stays at 0 because of the Option "Auto reset at boot".

I understand that it works on your N5100 but in fact my device is N5105.
it might be because that my device is in fact a N5105 and I use stock N5100 rom (there is no stock N5105 rom that I could find)
My bootloader says N5105 so the system sets flash counter when booting.
A possible solution would be changing bootloader making the deive completely N5100, but I don't know if that's possible. Is it ? How ?

Allcast dongle with nexus 7????

So check it out I bought the all cast dongle for my s4 works great on touch wiz. It even works great on any aosp ROM just with out the sound. So any would there be any reason it wouldn't work with the nexus 7s wireless display? It doesn't. I've tried numerous attempts with no luck. Curious what others think the issue may be or if you guys may have any ideas-
Thanks
It would be something wonderful to mirror this bad boy.

My guess is b/c the Nexus 7 supports myDP which is only compatible with the slimport adaptor.
Edit: I thought it was a physical adaptor. I'm sure it has to do with proprietary software specific to Samsung devices that the nexus is missing.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium

This probably will not since this is a proprietary Samsung software/hardware. Miracast should work if you have a TV or adapter that supports it. Like the netgear push2tv.

Have you updated your allsharecast dongle to ME29 using the allsharecast dongle software update app? It changed the name of my dongles to AllshareCast(Screen Mirroring) and that may have added other device support! (I just looked, and it was updated the same day you posted this OP)

Yes. I had it mirroring my Nexus 7(2013) on my drive home from work actually lol and it was doing pretty good. i was having a problem with GPS though, so i had to have my note 2 actually do the traffic info lol. (i have a Pioneer AVH-X8500BHS which has HDMI input, and i have one of my AllshareCast dongles hidden behind my dash, and i use ARLiberator which lets my radios touch screen control my phone, but i was using it on the N7 today to test it out lol. was kinda awkward looking at the resolution shrunk down for it though. especially with my N7 sitting on my passenger seat and the same size screen as my radio lol)

Is it on a stock Rom on your note? Mine when I connected my note to the dongle, it said a firmware update is available, and asked if I wanted to update it. Maybe if you clear app data and cache for the allsharecast app it will ask you to update it? I'm not positive

when using allshare cast dongle on ROOTed device.....so you need to run TRIANGLEWAY(google it)......then you get a :laugh:

I have a AllShare Dongle (from my Wife's Note 2) and I have a Nexus 7 (2013).
It detects the dongle but for some reason, it just stays at "Connecting ...." but it actually does not connect.
I have a rooted Nexus 7 (Stock), but I'm wondering if Triangle Away will fix it as well?
Thanks

I am stock rooted JSS15R and I am able to connect to my Allcast just fine. (Did not use triangle away or any thing else) You likely need to update your dongle firmware. Read back a few posts. You have to download the Allcast Dongle app from the play store onto your Samsung device which will update the dongle firmware. Then you should be able to connect your tablet.

I actually updated it when i tested it with my wifes note.
hmmmm .. this is weird. it already has the latest firmware i did reset it too.
i might have to unroot just to see.

Do you have a samsung phone, with allshare cast on it? if not you may want to check for a software update / firmware update for your TV as the allshare cast dongle required a update for "Screen Mirroring" to work instead of being locked down to just samsung devices with "AllshareCast", even though AllshareCast is Miracast, which is what the n7's screen mirroring is.

Yes my Verizon Galaxy S3, which works fine on the TV and does have allshare cast on it. I did a firmware update on my TV about a week ago and just tried the screen mirroring today with that result. I will try again when I get home to see if maybe the nexus just needed a reboot and to see if any new firmwares came about on my TV since the last one.

I don't know that it's applicable to tv's also, but does your s3 have the allsharecast dongle software update, that was updated July 30th installed? It does kind of have a small reference to tv's in the app description, but it's horribly translated to English , so who knows what all it applies to really lol

I was just gonna respond that yes it does and I see what that does now, when I get home I will see if I can get that to work and then try the nexus 7 again. Thanks for your help.

I have new Nexus 7 running clean rom and a Samsung 2013 smart tv. On my TV I go to screen mirroring and then it waits for a device to connect. On the Nexus 7 I go to wireless display and search. It finds my Samsung tv. I click on it, the nexus 7 says connecting and the TV says connecting to device as well. Then the TV says device connected. On the nexus it still says connecting. Then the TV goes black and then says screen mirroring has ended. On nexus it goes from connecting to my Samsung TV not being on the list anymore. On my Verizon galaxy s3 screen sharing works fine.
Do I need the allshare app on the nexus for this to work correctly? If so is there a version compatible with the new nexus 7?
If I don't need allshare app is there a mod I can do to get this to work?
Thanks for any help.

I have exactly the same case here - unable to use my Samsung smart tv as wireless display for my N7 flo. Any ideas?

Exact same here with Nexus 4 and new 75F6300, with all updates.
Nexus 4 works fine with LG TVs that I tried.

So it should be samsung TV incompatibility then.

I never had luck getting this to work, but I wondered if the google chromecast, or any device in its $35 price range, can be used to successfully screen mirror from the new nexus 7.

Guys, if you are running custom roms and kernels, the chances of screen mirroring is near zero.
I see reports of some custom roms and kernels for my S4 with working display mirroring but that's like a 1 in 20 chance and I never could find one that worked for me. However, stock rom and kernel (even rooted) worked for me on the S4.
I'm running 4.3 stock rooted on my N7 and miracast work fine as well.
I'm using PTV3000 as the sink device so may be different from standalone TVs.

Your so right about that I have a locked bootloader xperia z on existenz rom based on stock xperia rom and I get screen mirror errors but the developer of the rom says its fine for him but ive only experience these errors since kitkat was released for xperia z ive been on about three different custom roms based on stock for xperia z and only one of those roms had working screen mirroring @niaboc79 please fix this problem ive been asking you for months cany you promise me it will be fixed in v2.0 please dont care how long it takes

Here it is 4 years later and I still can't find a solution.

Custom marshmallow roms usually support miracast, it should work with your older TV, nougat does not as I know,that's why I bought a used chromecast2. May a Dev will take care for it in the near future for nougat.

I have a Galaxy s7 and I'm screen mirror from my fire stick and it's been working just fine I been watching movies, now when I try to screen mirror to watch more movies it keeps saying smart view connection ended. What does this means?

Mirrorlink

Does anyone know how to use Mirrorlink on Note 4? Setting is in NFC but I can't check box

Connect it to the head unit
Once you connect the phone via usb to a mirrorlink enabled device you'll be able to check the box.
Please let me know if you are able to launch the app because it just won't connect in my jvc nsx700. The app just loop crush on mine

I have a 2015 Subaru outback, the stereo has mirrorlink and it works pefectly with my wife's galaxy note 2 (pre-kitkat). When I connect my note 4 it says on the phone that mirror link is starting, but the radio never seems to recognize it. I have not had time to look into it much, but I wonder if the version of mirror link has something to do with it. I have not tried checking the box to start it. It seems like the phone automatically picks up it's connected to a mirrorlink device.

Having the same issue with AT&T Note 4 on a 6000NEX. I even get the message on my phone that mirrorlink is connected, but the screen on my deck stays black like it is trying to load.

I have a note 4 on us cell and a pioneer appradio 3. I was getting the same issues with mirrorlink. I found a post where someone had contacted pioneer and the response they got was that the note 4 uses mirrorlink 1.1 and my head unit uses 1.0 and they didn't know if or when they would update the firmware. I suspect this is the issue for anyone trying to use mirrorlink with the note 4. Sometimes it sucks having the latest and greatest. I do have mine working with a mhl adapter and have full screen mirroring on my head unit. I just hate having all the clutter and would love to just have one usb cable.

I had also seen that thread. Very good info. Am going to give them a call myself. Pioneer did just update to 1.08. Has anyone tried with that firmware yet? My car is at the shop currently.

Still fighting with it.

I have tried everything on my pioneer avh x7700bt wich hase mirrorlink version 1.1 en my n910c Note 4 hase 1.1 to and it dosent work Either tried it with a friend his Sony Xperia z en works perfect i think its a bug in the touch wiz rom
Can Anybody please verify this.

Just look for appradio unchained reloaded. Root, a permissive selinux kernel, and that app. You can have full touch mirroring on your pioneer app radio and nex rads
Sent from my SM-N910P using XDA Free mobile app

App radio unchained is for hdmi or mhl connections wich my app radio dosent have it hase only usb mirrorlink en Bluetooth

I have the same combo Galaxy Note 4 with the AVH-X7700BT AND i GET THE ERROR MESSAGE "RESET SMART DEVICE".
The Note4 does work with Appradioone after you update the firmware on the X7700. But it will not launch directly to Mirrorlink to mirror the smartphone directly.

I'm guessing that there has been no progress made on this?
I've got a Tmo Note 4 with a Pioneer x2700BS. I get the "Reset Smart Device" message.
I think that you might need a MirrorLink app first, but I tried to load one on there (MiRoamer) to see if it would do anything. The phone says that the app is certified, but the head unit doesn't do anything.

This is a Samsung issue. The s5 is receiving lollipop update with mirrorlink and doesn't work either. The s4 mini, note 4 and note edge were removed from the approved devices list on the mirrorlink site a few days ago. We need to be pushing Samsung on this issue.

I have a Pioneer AVH-x7700bt and the Note 4 and no luck either.
I believe it to be a ver 1.1 vs 1.0 issue , even though this https://cert.mirrorlink.com/ProductListing/ says they are both ver 1.1!!!

Mirrorlink works under the Lollipop update for the Note 4.
However, you need a Mirrorlink app to use it. An example is miRoamer.
There's only a few, and they all kinda suck.

Hi! Install Apps miRoamer, Glympse, iCoyote, Audioteka, and Parkopedia for MIrrorLink usage.
With Note 4 after the MirrorLink connection established you have to install the Car App, then on the MirrorLink menu on the HU the Certified Apps are shown.
If somebody have time to do this installations please test the apps while driving. And give a feedback regarding driver distractions.

No luck here. I installed miRoamer on my Note 4. In the mirror link settings on the phone the app is listed as a certified app. when I connect the the phone to the car it shows the "phone is connected using mirror link" but nothing happens on the car display. The only thing I see missing from what I have done, was install the Car App. I'm not sure what you meant by the car app.

Hi,
The connection between my NOTE 4 and my car radio device (Volkswagen POLO, with MIRRORLINK) was very difficult until yesterday...
Before yesterday, when my phone was connected with Mirrolink, i was able to see applications (only ones fully compatible)...but when i started one, screen was black and nothing appeared!
Until Yesterday, after 1 day by my Car Seller (and after a software update of my car stereo device), Mirrolink is fully compliant with my NOTE 4!!!
So, if you have any problem of black screen, ask your manufacturer if an update exists...that could be a solution!

Hey guys something new? I got the new firmware 8.40 for Pioneer Avh-x7700bt in Germany and my note 4 is latest update too. Doesn't work there was something new, new screen with "searching mirror link" and two monitors on my note 4 but failed after searching again nothing. Both are now mirror link 1.1 I thought my avh-x7700bt is broken but if all of you have the same problem. And the app doesn't work.
