[Q] Allshare Cast Dongle

Hi.
I have a Galaxy S3 and Allshare Cast Dongle.
I have read various S4 mini reviews, like gsmarena.com.
Most of them say that S4 mini supports screen mirrroring.
Anyone know if it works with the Samsung Allshare Cast Dongle like the S3, S4 or Note II?
I've been reading on Samsung site, but on the list of compatible phones is not included the S4 mini.
I want to buy a S4 mini for my wife, only if it supports Samsung Dongle.
Excuse my sintax.
I don't speak english.
Saludos

I would like to know this as well. I also tried 2 different mhl adapters and they don't work on my GT- I9195. Also tried USB OTG and it doesn't work either.

Acording to Samsung it should work as there is screen miroring in the options and in the manual it even state that there is AllShare supported so someone has to try this.

There are recent posts that the AllShare cast works. This thread was started in July when the device was still relatively much newer.

[Q] Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 TV-Out?

Is there "any" way to connect tab 3 7" to external screen?
the thing that makes me puzzled is that all says it doesn't support that while there's already available product made specifically for tab 3 7"
any help? need help fast i have to buy a new tablet tomorrow
if there's no way, what you advice me to buy? the maximum budget is 250$
i want it to support HDMI or MHL, anything else declined

Tab 8 works. Don't think the 7 supports.

Tab7 is the only tab 3 that doesn't support HDMI out. (googled it before I bought my tab 3 10.1)

T110 can use MHL to HDMI ?
But how come there are MHL to HDMI cable set available on ebay claiming that it worked?

AFAIK it doesn't..
old school way I guess, using A/V cable!
EDIT: the phone doesn't support TV out, so bummer! If u have a smart TV then u can look for alternative ways to connect ur phone.

It has MHL. But 5 pin MHL cables for Sony devices won't work. Planning to order this weekend.

who confirmed it supports MHL or not? tks
i have tab 3 8.0 with a red MHL cable, i will buy n3neo if it support that cable

I using the note with miracast and very well
Sent from my Ramos K100 using XDA Free and Galaxy Note 3 neo

Although there is an mhl cable on ebay, according to some mobile tech sites it seems that phone doesn't support mhl! Also there is no explanation on Samsung's siteI Therefore I am not sure! Could someone clear whether it supports mhl or not?

Tab 3 with mouse,keyboard and ethernet via USB OTG.

I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 that I want to use ethernet, mouse and keyboard with to do remote desktop work. Is there anyway I can do this? I see that there's a Samsung USB LAN hub for the Note Pro/Tab Pro line of tablets but I'm wondering if this will work with the Tab 3.
If not i'm wondering if a hub can be connected to the tablet that would then allow the connecting of the usb mouse, keyboard and a usb ethernet adapter. These are the two products I'm currently looking at but im not sure if they are compatible.

I can't post links as yet. They can be easily found with a query in Amazon.

I am sure keyboard and mouse will work on otg cable as long as they got enough power (I have tried it) and for WLAN or Ethernet cables you will need to modded kernel to do it.
More info here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2705323 (its for p5210 though)

thanks Jack. Im using my older account that I just got access to. It allows me to post link so yeah Im the same as joeldean.I havent gotten a response from that person as yet. I was wondering if you know anyone willing to help me modify a Tab 3 kernel to add ASIX drivers. Based on my research the ASIX ethernet based adapters seem to be most compatible. I would even be willing to pay to get this done.

MHL?

Hi,
anyone having some experience with the TabS2 en MHL HDMI?
Thanks

No but I'd be interested to hear if anyone has?
Thanks

Yes.
bought a small cable (6€) ....
tried one time ... works fine...
take care : in my case HDMI must be powered using a usb cable.
nothing to modify in settings..

I use MHL all the time. It does not fill the screen entirely as my phone MHL image does, but maybe that's the aspect ratio of the tab. My TV allows changing of the aspect ratio to adjust fit properly. Unfortunately my 3D projector does not allow tuning from an HDMI source. I have both 2.0 and 3.0 Samsung MHL adapters and they work fine with this tab.

No MHL with new Galaxy Tab S2?
I have just got Galaxy Tab S2 9.7" LTE T819 which is sligtly refreshed version of T815 with Android 6.
MHL does not work. There is no HTML option in the menu.
Samsung pages are inconsistent. Some claim that MHL is suporrted, some other - it is not.
Is it the question of hardware "improvement" from T815 to T819?
Or is it due to "upgrade" of Android 5 to 6?
Grzegorz

Same here.
Got the 819 model and mhl is not working. Same cable works with older Samsung tab (tab 3 8.0 inches), which should have same mhl version.
Either was removed with marshmallow update or it is removed due to hw revision.
Samsung website says it is supported, but clearly ain't true for my model.

I've got official Tab S2 dock and the original Samsung MHL 3.0 dongle - all work through HDMI (on the original 2015 version). However, you have to put up with the 4:3 screen ratios even on the 16:9 monitors..

Exactly how?

I have all of this and have been trying since I got my tablet, nothing shows up on the screen. Do you have to do something to the tablet or something to make it show up?

Sorry for not answering you (I only rarely visit XDA) - I havent added any apps to make it work. Its very much plug and play. Which version do you have? The 2015 Exynos or the 2016 Snapdragon? I've got the 2015 version.
I have also found it particular with certain screens and monitors too. Some do not report back to the device properly for resolution choice, whilst others will bawk at the tablet being on a non-standard 16:9 resolution. But it does work with my TV at home and my 4K monitor at work. I'd suggest you also try it with other monitors and TV's directly via HDMI.

There's a root app called SecondScreen which works well for aspect issues.

i have 2015 samsung galaxy tab s2 9.7 inch and mhl cable, micro, charger, hdmi output to hdtv, but i get a no signal on my hd tv, any clues as to why i thismodel compatible yes or not. if yes can you tell me the adapter to use. I use a mhl 5 pin adapter i picked up for $8 on ebay., but i dont know if that is the correct mhl adapter.

you need samsung adapter if you use generic mhl.
samsung pin is different than generic mhl.

FYI:
Samsung online support chat ref#: 8214559545
My Question:
“Does the Samsung Multimedia Dock for Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 8.0/9.7 support HDMI screen mirroring using the tablet 819 model ? Some members of the XDAdevelopers forum cast doubt on whether it works.”
Your Samsung Multimedia Dock webpage say’s it supports Galaxy Tab S2's but does not explicitly confirm model variations, and it also say's "4K resolution is only supported by MHL 3.0 support devices (MHL 2.0 or 1.0 devices support FHD)"
Sumsung Support Answer:
“Upon checking on the technical specification of the device, MHL is not supported by your T819 tablet.”
and
“You can only use screen mirroring using Wi-Fi. I apologize but it will not work. Both devices needs to have MHL capability, however, your Tab S2 T819 doesn't have this feature.”
.... Para Dox

Sumsung Support Answer:
"Upon checking on the technical specification of the device, MHL is not supported by your T819 tablet."
Surely this would only require a simple software update to re-enable MHL on the latest version S2 tabs ?

Contact Samsung Support and try to extract more detail from them. Ask them what is the root cause, and is there any possibility of a future fix or work-around.
I didn't say this in my above post, however I was on Samsung Chat Support for about half an hour just flushing out the above couple of lines I posted.
1st level support are junior staff, and their job is to shield senior staff from the customer.
I was initially given superficial answers and had to keep probing with cross-checking questions, challenging their logic, and requesting they escalate to senior technicians to finally flush out the above answer in my post.
I also requested that they document this technical information in their manual and on their website, but I am not holding my breath.

Does anyone know of the otterbox defender case or any case will fit the mhl adapter with the case on..?
