hey,
i have a very simple question,
I have a note 3 and use the screen mirroring option to send youtube to my media server so i can see it on the big screen as we dont have a smart TV.
but i want to be able to do that anywhere without a media server, their is all these smart usb sticks that turn TV's into smart ones but i dno where to start, i just wanna be able to send my media to the TV, i have a hdmi for my note 3 but it requires a power source and the cable isn't long enough and i really didn't research it properly before buying...
im sure their is a usb or something that will allow me to do this that doesn't cost a lot,
Because I'm interested in the subject too, what software are you using as media server?

Never had a wifi issue. I'm using it in a setup with our 12 year old 40" Sony CRT tube tv lol!!! which I converted to "smart tv". That tv doesn't even has hdmi port, so I have A/V cable going into that converter box with HDMI output and connect smart stick to it. Controlling it with a small bt keyboard and streaming videos from usb stick connected to my Asus wi-fi router. Mostly used by my kids, and obviously streaming movies over wi-fi, and never an issue. This is an old stick version, they have new ones with a better spec. I think most of the issues were with some of the earlier versions, even prior to mine, where stick used to get overheated and causing various issues included wi-fi.

hi, my tv does not have dlna support (who has one anyway) and i don't want an adapter for dlna, is there a wired solution into bringing hd video to my hdtv?

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.

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!

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.

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.

That depends. I have a few and they do vary in how much power they suck out of the usb port. I have a Hauppauge Hybrid 900 (950 in the US) that gets very hot and drinks power like an alchie. I also have an Asus mini 3000 I got for my eeePC 700 that sips very genteelly. Both have native Linux support but since I bought the above dongle, I won't be trying those.
The other problem is that you would need some android TV software that could interact with those sticks. The programs on Google Play seem to be very hardware specific.

No clue about this guy. I have a Netgear PTV3000 that works pretty well for screen mirroring. I use it for streaming media. For gaming I use the Analogix Slimport since wireless mirroring addsd latency.
Would like to hear people's reviews about the Asus product as well. I guess will have to wait till it's release and someone tries it out.

AllCast is definitely a great video streaming option, especially for the cross platform (I have only tested it out on my Samsung TV). But, it is rather limited, at least at this time. Currently, it will only stream videos that are on your phone. It won't display pictures, stream other video services (Netflix, VUDU, etc), or even do mirroring. Hopefully, it will have these features in the future.
As for a mirroring device, I have high hopes for the ASUS Miracast Dongle. Hopefully, the dual bandwidth will cure the latency issues with the current wireless options. Unless I see reviews of it being a complete failure, I will be purchasing one of these.
Anyone seen when these will be released?
$100 for this is just crazy... and people complain about Apple's pricing?
android tv stick is a better choice
i recommend to buy an android tv stick like tronsmart mk908 or t908. it is a standalone pc stick and can even sstream everything via miracast.
it is much cheaper. chromecast or asus dongle are very limited of its functions.

Miracast actually mirrors what is on your phone/tablet screen; of course your device has to have official Miracast hardware support. (think of it as wireless hdmi with a slight lag). With Chromecast, you have to use an approved app on your tablet/pc/phone, and those apps essentially send a special secured link to your Chromecast device, Chromecast pulls the link, and Chromecast processes it & displays it on your TV. Or, you can mirror a chrome tab from your pc/mac; this only works with some (not all) websites.
I almost jumped on this at $30, now its $20? Can anyone that actually has it confirm that it works ok with the Moto x? The reviews are less than stellar, but I'm really interested in getting one. Just trying to decide whether to spend more money on one with better reviews. I would be using it for watching tv/movies from my device. The main issue I'm worried about is audio sync, absolutely annoying during a movie. A little stuttering is fine, but out of sync for 2hrs would be unbearable.
