Samsung AllShare Cast Dongle (Video Review)

Hi all. Got my hands on a samsung allshare cast dongle. So i thought that a quick-review and setup would come in handy for some people. Since the sIII is the featured device I've made it with it. Altough it works without a problem with the Note II too since it also has the allshare cast app integrated into the soft.
Check out my vids:

do you think it would work with older TVs, like from few years old, but also having HDMI slot?

yepp it has to work!

I wonder if the Sky Go app will work with it

I noticed it has a slight lag. How does it affect gaming? And anyone else that uses the MHL adapter does it have any lag?

I have an unofficial mhl adapter, and there is a touch of lag (see the other thread in here). Videos and regular stuff are fine (Youtube HD looks great), but most games seem to have varying amounts of lag. Interestingly, Dead Trigger was completely playable but stuff like Angry Birds and especially Ski Safari were harder.

sometimes it lags in games!not all the time !

maybe you should combine it with this threat as there are already many questions answered about the dongle and its working/non-working.
In addition it seems that dead trigger runs quite smooth on your dongle, for many it is choppy & laggy, mind to share your dongle's firmware and your phone's setup?

...
sorry 4 the late answer Dongle Version: LF21, SIII firmware: JB I9300XXDLJ4_I9300OXADLJ4_BTU

Is Actiontec ScreenBeam Pro's miracast feature compatible with 2014 Galaxy Note 10.1?

So I noticed the older Galaxy Note 10.1 is listed as compatible with the Altec ScreenBeam Pro... I'm wondering if it also works with the newer 2014 edition. Has anybody tried? It seems to work quite well with the Nvidia Shield (Nvidia actually recommends it out of many miracast devices that they've tried. They've even worked with altec to optimize it for the Shield, so I imagine that would also benefit other compatible Android devices): http://www.actiontec.com/products/63.php

it works, have the shield recommended firmware installed on the screenbeam as well. tried drawing and watching google movies with it. no problems.

I have the Rocketfish MiraCast receiver and it works with the Note 2014.

Awesome, thanks for the feedback... was beginning to think this was going to go unanswered. Guess it may be time to look into getting a miracast adapter! Thanks again.

I am also rooted and MiraCast still works. It is a bit more slugish than my Nexus 7.2. Probably because of scaling down since the Nexus is the resolution as the TV. My Nexus 10 was a bit slower as well.

I have the PTV3000 dongle and the note seems to disconnect immediately after connecting to the dongle with this message "unable to start screen mirroring because of a hardware issue".
quick lookups on google seems to indicate it's related to the status being unofficial. I am wondering if you had any similar problems and if I'd appreciate if you can share your workaround if you have any.
Thanks

Nope, you just need to plug the adapter into an available HDMI port on your tv

oh cool, thank you. Was just a bit confused on that.

I've had some luck with the ptv3000 on the 2.4.26 update. YouTube videos and games almost work, but my connection just seems barely too slow to be usable. Pictures and anything else seem to work okay for me. Would the screen beam pro work any better for gaming since I'd seems to be endorsed by nvidia?

Are You using the built in screescreen Mirror app
Are you using the screen mirror in the settings or a third party app

I'm using the one in settings. Would any third party app be better?

Miracast?

Does the N5 use the same Miracast technology as the N4 to do wireless display mirroring? Netgear PV3000 compatible?

I'm pretty sure it does but I can't offer you any evidence

Yes it does. Under settings, display and then wireless display. Don't know about compatibility

PTV3000 2.4.26 Works with N5 / N7 2013 Edition
I have a nexus 5/nexus 7 2013 edition and a PTV3000 running firmware version 2.4.26. The PTV3000 actually works very well since the latest firmware update, though prior to this update it was terrible for me. (Additional configuration note: I have disabled legacy intel widi support on the PTV3000 as I have no need for legacy intel widi support).

anyone know how well miracast actually works? ive seen a couple of youtube videos demonstrating it, but not with a nexus 5, and there was pretty noticeable lag. I understand that wireless mirroring isn't going to be perfect, but coming from an iPhone with airplay mirroring, lag was so small that I could play most games without much issue. was able to play platforming games (such as Mario-emulators of course) pretty easily, but if the lag is worse on miracast, then it might not be a viable solution (for me at least)

Meh-icast
Honestly, It works pretty well for streaming media - though I still definitely prefer using my chromecast. I bought the Miracast adapter prior to chromecast being released, and if it was the other way around I would never have bought the PTV3000.
Latency: Yes, there is a good bit of latency and this is is enough to annoy you while playing a game.
Media Playback: Occasional lag or video/sound glitch, but overall it is pretty good now. Earlier firmware versions on the PTV3000 were terrible.
Session Disconnects: Certain applications (read DMR heavy) will terminate your Miracast session when they are launched (Google play movies/music, netflix, hulu, etc...). I have not tested this on the latest firmware yet.
Devices used:
I have used a Nexus 7 2013 edition and Nexus 5 connecting to the netgear PTV3000.

My LG TV has miracast built in and it works well. There is a few second delay from what's showing on your phone to the TV, but it's smooth. I'd still rather use my chromecast for Netflix and hulu, but for showing pics or video you took, it's great.

Screen mirroring to projector via wifi hotspot and dongle?

Hey all here's what I'm going for...
Walk into conference room, start wifi hotspot on my phone and plug some type of dongle (chromecast/AllCast, etc..) into the back of the projector. Then I would connect my Note 10.1 2014 to the dongle and be able to mirror my screen to give presentations.
Has anyone tried this? Any creative solutions?

Miracast devices can do exactly this with wifi direct, so the hot spot isn't actually necessary to screen share. The only downside is that they are HDMI output, so projector compatibility is limited when dealing with older units.

Ah thank you! I looked into miracast and that is exactly what I was looking for. So the Note 2014 is miracast compatible?
Also, do you know of any cheap stick-like miracast dongles? I found this http://lettouch.com/rockchip-miracast-dlna-hdmi-dongle-for-android-ios-device-p-988.html.
Edit: do they all require an external power source like http://www.focalprice.com/EH0360B/Hi763_Miracast_WiFi_Display_Dongle_Black.html?Source=EN_BFDproduct this?

You can also use MirrorOp. MirrorOp
I am using it at school for presentations. The sender software is on my Note 10.1 and the FREE receiver is on the PC which is connected to the OHP. The sender is only $10 and you can get it on the Play Store. Works over WiFi.
Note: Get the Galaxy version NOT the general android version as I have tried both and the Galaxy version works much better.

I am using Google Chrome cast. While i don't get the entire tablet on the screen I can watch any videos, pictures etc on my TV and it was 35 bucks at best buy. The video is pretty much all I cared about and it saved me some money doing it this way.

i search Taobao. Com ,there are a lot of options. The price is about 160 rmb (20-30 US dollars)

I'm using the action tech screen beam pro right now and its great. Watching one piece via S anime while writing this.

Too expensive, cost over 100US to buy it and that is too much.
I just want stream live streams to TV and screen mirroring. Buy from ebay, takes around 1-2 months (if lucky an be faster) and dont want to wait if buy a none working with Note 2014.

Nice thread! I would like to learn a little more of this!
Please can someone share the experience ?
EZCast/ EZMirror ? iPush ? Some say can do miracast and airplay!
Can we have a dongle :
- HDMI and AV connection ?
- Mirror what's on our Android screen
- Mirror what's on iPhone screen
- Mirror PC/MAC
Thanks

Hi all,
My colleagues and I use this :
www.tinydeal.com/fr/hi763-miracast-dlna-airplay-wifi-display-dongle-for-smartphone-p-111836.html
It is compatible with Miracast, DLNA and AirPlay. I can mirror my android devices and computers screen (Wifi Display) and stream airplay on the TV.
Also, there are some little issue with some of custom roms. But with my SM-P600 (MK1) it works flawlessly.

I read that some requires iPush to be downloaded from Play others EZCast/EZAir, is it the case for this dongle?
I've seen some youtube reviews and it seems that visualizing video the audio is a little lag from the image, is it common from this cheap dongles?
Anyone knows if there is any dongle with RCA analogue output instead of using an expensive HDMI-RCA converter ?

Sorry, I don't really understand "some requires iPush to be downloaded from Play others EZCast/EZAir, is it the case for this dongle?". But I'm using the Note 10.1 2014 with the native mirroring service included. And on my computer I'm using the native wireless display of windows 8 (I have an Intel proc with an Nvidia video card). Some of my colleagues use iTunes for streaming on the dongle.
I've forgot to mention one thing. The dongle does not allow to receive all airplay, miracast, dlna on the same time. There is a little switch on the dongle for choosing the dlna or airplay mode.

My recommendation is to avoid all cheap chinese miracast dongles. Got mine from Ebay and it works like crap.
- Wifi streaming hangs all the time.
- Resolution works fine from beginning and suddenly it changed to a weird aspect ratio size and all is zoomed in on TV.
That dongle is collecting dust now.

UAU
I've decided to give a try and i'm just impressed! It was the cheapest i've found on ebay:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/371043321886?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
Not only came well packed on an impressive case as it does exactly what it says!
Tried our Note 2014 (605), iphone 5S and a toshiba laptop.
I advise you to just look at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrzaLjA1EiiBiYR4VKCoZpA
It works just like on the videos.

@ jpl69
Does it work for movies and gaming? How the range?

For gaming, just forget. At least half second gap, to much for gaming.
I have everything in my room, router tv/dongle pc, android, iphone so the range is about 3m.
For movies, youtube is awsome.

Do you need to use the EZcast app or you simply use the built-in screen mirroring function of the Note 2014?

You must use the EZCast , but just to trigger the mirror function on the device.
