[Q] Samsung Remote apk (TV remote)

Does anyone have the apk for the latest, v2.2.5, Samsung Remote app? I know it's not officially supported by the gnex but I've just got my first LCD TV (UE40D6530 even though you didn't ask) after having an SD CRT for donkeys and I heard it may work.
By the looks of it it's out there on various random sites but I really don't trust them.

SamyGo Remote works with samsung tv's (UE55 even though you didn't ask ).

Cheers, saw SamyGo but wasn't sure if it was for the newer ones and wanted to compare it to the real deal. Guess I'll just have to use that, my TV doesn't support twin view or dual view or whatever it's called anyway.

Bump as I've got SamyGo which does work but doesn't allow for easy text input, say for searching iPlayer or using the built in web browser.
I've emailed Samsung to request an update to the app so it supports ICS but no idea how long that could take.

Does anyone have a copy they can post? The official Samsung app is the only one that allows you to turn your TV on with Bluetooth and I have heard that the apk works with the galaxy nexus.

Also interested. I have a le40652 possibley meant to have a B in there not sure. I don't think the official Samsung one supports my TV its one year too old, I never got on very well with this whole sammygo swapping TV firmwares I couldnt get it to work.

I tried the app (not connected to the TV), and it seems it's locked to a lower resolution so it won't go fullscreen. I still hope it works with my TV, since even with smaller graphics it is still better then sammygo
/edit: The app works, I've not tried it with Bluetooth only wifi.

can anybody please post a mirror? link to dropbox doesn't work anymore.
thanks

Its 2.2.5

Anyway to change the dpi (make it full screen)

Samsung smartview supports higher resolutions. Try getting that apk

question about missing allshare cast option under settings

does anyone here have a allshare cast option under settings for the gs3? i just received my allshare cast dongle and i don't seem to find this option so i can mirror wirelessly to my tv! anyone know if running a rom would add this option? or did t mobile not release a firmware upgrade to have this allshare cast option added to our phones

im running a custom recovery on mines can i still update?

Do u have international version or us version,? You should have the option under settings / more settings if your using the latest jelly bean rom. I don't see the harm in trying the intended updated.

i have the US version and i dont wanna update to JB cause i want my flash capabilities! my phone just didnt come with that option, has anyone experienced the same thing?

You can flash any UVALH2 roms which is still ICS and will have this feature. That option is not Jellybean specific. I recommend the one below assuming you're rooted.

Allshare cast was added to the latest ICS OTA (T999UVLH2) and not Jelly bean specific (there's no need to upgrade to Jellybean).

Or you can flash a custom rom based off that version if you have custom recovery (CWM or TWRP).
Current Version of ICS
Version:
Android version 4.0.4/Software version T999UVLH2
Approved 8/16/2012
New Feature
AllShare Cast
Improvements:
Resolved the error, ‘Enter MAC address' after entering the correct MAC address in the Mobile HotSpot configuration page if the MAC address entered did not contain the colons ) or spaces.
Resolved issue where the contents of a Home screen folder would be rearranged alphabetically after a reboot.
Resolved issue where the name does not populate when trying to add a contact with NameID information, you must manually add.

I think allshare cast is to be used with an allshare cast dongle so it may be looking for that. Do you have the dongle? I dont think any samsung TV has this feature on TVs yet. It basically allows mirroring of your phone to your tv just like using and HDMI cable but its wireless. There's also allshare play where you can connect to a TV via DLNA and play video, picture, and music from your phone to your tv.

You can still install Flash Player, just sideload the apk.

Glad you got it figured out. So is mirroring pretty smooth? I'm not sure dual core is up to the task. Just curious as I would like to buy a dongle. Also how much did you pay?

[REVIEW] Netgear Push2TV PTV3000 with my Note 10.1 and AllShare Cast

I made a quick video showing me using AllShare Cast and the Netgear Push2TV PTV3000 with my Note 10.1 tablet.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JnqhZdjm16s
Works quite well so if you want to mirror or wireless stream video, this is a great solution and only $60 on Amazon. Wider compatibility than the Samsung AllShare Dongle, but keep in mind you cannot use AllShare Cast at all if your device has a flash counter higher than 1. If you can get it back to 0 and it says "Device Status: Official" then it will work great. More info about this in the video.
Let me know if you have any questions -- and sorry for the bad quality.
Edit: Using AllShare Cast does prevent using multiple apps at once. The UI speed when streamed does not run at 60fps.... looks like 30fps to me. I find this perfectly fine and the lag is too long for playing a game on. (My TV introduced some lag as well.) I have used Apple Airplay and this fees exactly the same when it comes to lag and performance.

did you say nexus 10 in the video? lol
could put a pop up note to correct that.

So that means if I am rooted (status modified) l am not able to do all share cast at all? Never heard of before, thanks a lot for that ! Am l still able to do other allshare operations?
btw: nice vid!

That is correct. You have to Triangle Away for any Samsung device that is using AllShare Cast.
As a side note, the AllShare Cast dongle supposedly works with Miracast now. Has anyone tested this yet? I have the dongle but no Miracast devices...

Yep I tried Triangle Away on my Note 2 but I couldn't get it to stick. Something on my phone keeps flipping it back to modified right after boot which also increments the flash counter back to 1. I wish I had known about this limitation before I bought the adapter or I would have just stuck to HDMI right from the start.....
And it is a rather annoying limitation.

Thanks for the review. Any issues with audio sync? Any method to get this working on CM10.1?

Thanks for this demo. I was thinking which to buy, the samsung made allshare dongle or Miracast compatible devices. Now I get a obvious answer.

I bought the netgear hoping to stream lots of video to my TV (Netflix, etc.) but the audio cuts out for a split second every few seconds - makes it pretty unique watchable. I'm running unmodified stock on my Note 10.1 and Note II - it's the same on both... anyone have any troubleshooting advice?

well i havent tried between devices but all i want to do is screen mirror to my tv using the allshare cast dongle

It's not going to work. Been trying for over a year. It's a lost cause.
Sucks.

My Screen Sharing works fine on STOCK Rooted, that's it.
I was using the Wicked ROM for the longest time, played with a few others. Could never get it to work.
I just recently ODIN Flashed and Relocked back to stock. Just used the CF-Auto-root method to root again. No custom kernel, no ROM. Just stock rooted and it works! Which sucks!
And this is all just to use my stupid AllShare Dongle
---------- Post added at 07:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:57 AM ----------
I forgot to add after rooting I did run Triangle Away to reset my flash counter to 0 and the binary to Official.

I did try the method above and it does work while being rooted but since its stock kernel I can't use wifi tethering which I need to have working.

But how do you register the AllShare Cast Dongle w/ your Samsung Link account?

I just turn on samsung link and I click the movie or file I want top play and there should b an all share icon on the too left corner. Once you tap that it should show the devices you wanna play it on. Like I have a 32 inch samsung smart tv. So thatll pop up for me. The file will play right to the tv. You can even do this directly with the video or music player. Just that the allshare icon on the app.

Yes for those options it's fine, but it's not true screen sharing. Like being able to use a MOGA controller and fire up your SNES emulator and share the screen on the TV.
While i'm able to do that now on the Stock ROM and Stock Kernel once I change away I lose that capability and that's what is wanting to be maintained. True honest screen sharing, not app/file sharing/streaming.

I have the same same problem and don't know how to get ridbof it.

Are you on an unsecured network? On the same network with a ps3 or blu ray player with Youtube streaming? I get that icon when I have Youtube opened on my Note 2 and open the Youtube app on my ps3.

There must be a way to dismiss that icon, right? I mean even if you do have Chromcast, it doesn't mean you necessarily want to cast everything.
Maybe the Chromecast section of the forums can help.

I have a Samsung Smart TV that I have linked to my Nexus 7 youtube for Optional transmission to the TV.
But recently, YouTube has started showing this icon permanently when viewing youtube videos on my Nexus, slap bang in the middle the screen.
Im surprised that arent a huge number of people reporting this problem at this forum. Any solution would be appreciated.

On my Note II this is what I did to turn it off.

Same problem here, I'm running CM nigthlies, but I found this post --> productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/youtube/91-3-Nh3BHM[/url][1-25-true] --> which relates the problem to connected bluetooth headsets.
Disconecting my bluetooth headset worked for me, but it didn't for others.
I hope this helps and that the bug gets solved, I just don't want to have to unplug my headset to watch a video....

Yes, I do use a bluetooth headset when I see the problem.

Thanks a bunch!!! Been fighting this stupid symbol for weeks and never once thought it was a bug or issue with youtube. Just assumed my Note II had a problem or my bluetooth or wifi or anything else besides what it really was....youtube! Uninstalled the updates and symbol was magically *poof* gone! I can no longer watch the video while continuing to do something else but a small price to pay until youtube fixes that issue.

Youtube play updates claims this has been fixed now. I have not tested it yet.
