[APP] Samsung Smart view Dual View

I will not be monitoring this thread, I have a T-Mobile T999 but wanted to share this with the SGS3 community at large. Feel free to post results, and any additional mods (ie. Getting it to work with ASOP Rom's) in my original thread
For some reason, beyond my comprehension, Samsung have this great app, but have yet to open it up to the SGS3. I have been resorting to downloading it and installing it on my HTC HD2 (Running CM9) backing it up with Titanium, and then copying the backup over to my SGS3, and restoring the backup. A bit round about, but works.
The App, for those that don't know, allows you, with a Samsung high-end TV or BR-Player, use the app to not only as a remote, but as a second mirrored screen, with audio. Great for trips to the kitchen, bathroom, outside, or in another room (although range is limited by your router).
[Supported TV Models]
- Samsung Smart TV released in 2011:
Models greater or equal to LED 7000, PDP 8000
- Samsung Smart TV released in 2012:
Models greater or equal to LED ES7500,(Models greater or equal to LED ES7000 in Europe, Models greater or equal to PDP E8000 Models(E7000 Models in North America)
[Supported Phone]
While technically only SGS2, it works with SGS3 stock rooted rom, but should work on most with a stock base. It will not work on CM9/10 and ASOP ROM's but you could give it a try and let me know.
Here is the actual app, I extracted it from my Titanium backup figuring someone could use it until Samsung get around to updating the Market to let you just download it. The only thing I can't get to work is Bluetooth power on. I can pair with my TV, but it just doesn't show up until I have turned it on. I also had an issue with it working over the the 5Ghz 802.11n band, but with 3.1.9 that doesn't seem to be an issue anymore.
Version 3.1.9 - 39MB - Confirmed Working for me with 2011 PDP51D8000 Model
Version 3.2.0 - 40MB - Also Confirmed working

What about the 3.2.1 version? Can anyone share it?

Thanks, i didnt even know such an app exists

Anyone? I cannot download it with the sgs3, but could be done with a sgs2. Please share the 3.2.1 version.

Hello,
I have an issue with the App. I can´t see, what there stands. The Display always turns on and off.
I´m using Omega v34.
Edit: I´ve connected it with TV. It is working fine. But the Display turn on and off issue still exists.

App is working with Omega v34. But for me only the remote control and the gaming control.
NO dual view and the other stuff. My TV is UE46C7700.
Screen off and on issue is after device reboot gone.

I can no longer access the new file on my old HD2, it no longer shows up. Tehrefore I can't post 3.2.1 but the viersions here work, and nothing major in 3.2.1 that would require an update and if you look online, it says nothing new. So while 3.2.1 may be nice to upgrade too, I can't see any requirement to do so, if the version you have works.
Just read teh comments on the 3.2.1 version of the app, looks like 3.2.1 doesn't work more than it works. Numerous comments about it breaking dual view, or issues with Flicker. So if 3.2.0 or 3.1.9 work for you, then stay with them
Dual View is only guarenteed to work on Samsung TouchWiz based ROM's. I have it working on both my GIII (Now ith Jelly Bean) and Galaxy Tab 10.1. Custom ROM's may not include all the components that are required to make this work. I doubt anything in 3.2.1 will change this, and make it work for some who aren't working now. Both the TV and the phone have to be compatible or you just get a very large file for a remote control.
Also in the main thread, see link in OP, there is an even earlier version for those to try who are having problems...

works great
bluetooth power on : (selected model tv only.. 7000 and 8000 series have this. others , wouldnt know)
first start app you would turn off bluetooth and wifi and let the app complain about the missing radio and quit app (clean memory in taskmanager to be sure)
now pair your tv > within 50cm reach of the TV (security feature)
turn off bluetooth
start app and wait for it to nag about missing bluetooth. turn on bluetooth with the prog and see in the popup if your tv is listed as paired. if not do the pairing again. (it needs a few tries sometimes) press back and now see if it shows your tv and press bluetooth power on icon and wait for the tv to respond and after that to connect to wifi and connect to your phone.. takes about 40 secs or so.
3.20 works best for s3 i9300 on stock rom
app requires DRM , decryption service and samsung movieplayer and offcourse a samsung build.prop
3.21 porting to s3 > not so easy, you may want to read a little more about the crappiness of it.
edit: using version 3.20 still works great with 4.1.2 luxemburg stock rom rooted with CMW philz touch, modded bootloader, led-mod and signed multiwindowmod, apex 2.4 pro launcher. BT power-on works. in multi-window with other app works. if u dont see controls in fullscreen turn off gesture control and or taskbar hiding or just press where the button supposed to be normally. version 3.22 from market doesnt work, only remotecontrol.

working on perfect on 4.1.2

I am paired but still doesn't show up to power on.

I have the 2011 PDP51D8000 Model TV, and have looked at all menu options, but still can't seem to get power on to work. Not a big deal, would be nice, but I can live without it. Just glad Dual view works flawlessly on both my SGS3 and Galaxy Tab 10.1.

Finally!
I've been looking a long time to get my remote back. Thanks a lot for this!
I can also confirm that this app works fine with Samsungs C8705.

Too bad i got a UE37ES5500 TV and it doesn't support this option.

It works on Galaxy S5
Tested and Working perfectly on Galaxy S5

Can't fint TV.
This app can't find my TV (C8705) any more and I'm using a Nexus 4 with Lollipop. I think it stopped working before I got Lollipop but I'm not sure. I've set a DMZ between my device and TV in my firewall, so that can not be the problem.
Any ideas?

[Q] Is my m8's IR blaster spoilt?

Have just gotten my M8
tried using the stock TV app first, didnt work... and it also doesn't "learn" from the other remote.
downloaded IR Universal Remote (which worked perfect on my S4 Active) and HTC Universal remote from the play store...
i do see the red beam flash ONCE only, but still doesnt turn on any device (tried a few diff TVs)
does anyone have an app or way to test this before i send it back for repairs?

None of the softwares remote profiles worked for me, I had to teach the app with the remote manually one button at the time to get it to work.

Worked fine for me, first try. Sony TV and Sony surround with an AT&T U-verse cable box. I only had to use the remote for it to learn from for 1, which worked first try. (All via their TV app on the phone)
I'm sure you're aware, but keep in mind the IR is in the power button itself. Good luck

Google smart ir remote. Best remote out there.
Sent from my HTC One_M8

tried that too but didnt work.
managed to get it working now after resetting the phone to defaults.!
Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk

I'm facing the same problem here ... seems to be hardware issue

No problems here.

So ..OP did u send your phone for repair??
or solved the problem by yourself

Any info for this unit? RK-A701

Newbie here, looking for buying my first MTCD. I've found this unit in many stores and eBay, but the only information I can find is that it's model is RK-A701. No MCU, no nothing. At $123,00 with free shipping looks like a good deal. What's your opinion. Has anyone bought one of these?
These are the more relevant specifications I've found:
Android 4.4
Resolution: 1024*600
Max External Memory: 16G
Cores:Quad Core
Display Size: 7"
Memory: 1GB DDR3
Storage: 16G iNAND
CPU Chip: RK3188, 1.6GHz
Doesn't seem to have WiFi
Found here, for example:
Newfrog
eBay (this is the cheapest)
Thanks in advance!

i have this ...
I have this unit, there is wifi, bluetooth is limited to the phone, for the price I find good

If it is Android 4.4 it is NOT MTCD...its and older MTCB device, also looks like it is 800x480 low res screen.

screen is 1024 x 600 , go youtube and search RK A701 ,have posted two video , sorry for my poor english ,am french ..

Better price here:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Android-4-4...ash=item46520ebb20:g:L6cAAOSwU-pXtWls&vxp=mtr
Just bought from this seller, and even if it do not have proper wifi, i do not see any reason why you should not be able to use tethering either thru usb or bluetooth.
Do this also as many other chinese manufacturers come pre-rooted?
Haha so next up is to demolish the dash in my old astra to make it dual din

This device is not pre-rooted and various parameters are not present, it lacks developper option (solved with a developer apk). Factory setting is protected by pass word (66668888). No button to activate the bluetooth paired for other attachments. Rooting can be obtained with kingroot latest version but after rooting, some apk no longer work .It managed by Luyuan apk.
I have not tested tethering .

Which apps will not load when rooted? do you know was reading about that the radio app was launched thru their weird "launcher" cant be that hard to make it into a service because i really like
apex launcher. Btw did the unit come with youtube?

See this video for response .... https://youtu.be/65J4rU1NPOg

Hi
Do you now be any chance how to put this unit in recovery mode using reset button or others buttons on the radio
Did you check the easy connected app by me It don't work

HI,
I have not found yet and I have not managed to connect it to a PC. Is made by Luyuan and must function as wd8801 .Can be that someone has more info on the wd8801 model ... have one inew u3 phone and mirror link is fully functionnal , on the phone you must turn on the USB debugging .

I also just purchased this and installed it (via ebay)
Boot time is right at 30 seconds.
Backup cam works even before it boots so it works as needed.
Pandora works
Wifi connects to my phone hotspot for data
Radio works
I was able to remove that glowing circle (setting)
Changed boot image to my car logo in password protected area
Allow music in reverse
Installed google maps and changed settings for the GPS button to load goggle maps by default
Phone can make and receive calls via bluetooth
Can't get to work:
Android screen mirroring
bluetooth data sharing
bluetooth for torque app
I was able to get the obdII adapter to pair, but the app keeps trying to turn on bluetooth when it's already on.
I'm planning to get:
USB front camera
3G dongle
Overall very good value. Missing some features of more expensive units, but for the money ($103.49 after $20 off ebay coupon) this can't be beat! Shipped via FedEx so arrived in about a week.
Thanks for the videos you posted.
If anyone can get more use from bluetooth than just the phone, please share. I've looked through hidden menus and tried a bunch of apps with no success.

How did you manage to pair OBD. me only the phone connects, Are you sure it was the OBD who was paired? and not your phone?
Mirror link is functional but you have to activate the option for develeppeur and usb debugging.
look this video for mirror link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BLN_yXqqAjM

To get OBD to pair:
Download shortcut manager lite
hXXps://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.vndnguyen.shortcutmaster.lite
Then click 3 dots on right
Search for "bluetooth"
The first link there should be to pair. Click on it, and then click the run (rocket ship). It pairs, but that's it. I can't get Torque or any other bluetooth to "turn on" other than the phone call app and BT audio.
Did you use a USB front camera or another type? I haven't purchased that yet or a 3G dongle.

For dvr cam I have that http://www.ebay.fr/itm/262141040813?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT could be better but enough for me , for forward looking I have that http://eu.banggood.com/Wholesale-Wa...a-HD-Night-Vision-CCD-Camera-wp-Eu-90974.html but I find it very wrong and inverted image , I will change .

Thanks for the links. I was thinking it needed to be a USB camera.
I was able to get mirroring to work on the second try. Not sure why it didn't work the first time.
What was the "free gift" that came in the second package? Mine is expected on Saturday. I'm assuming it's an SD card with map software, but that is just a random guess. If so, what maps? Software? Up to date?
If anyone had a bluetooth USB dongle, could you try putting that in the front USB and see if you can connect that to an OBD or data connection from your phone?
I can't put my hands on one right now.

Mine is came with nothing , gps software installed is igo primo but without maps or sd card , had tested 4 bluetooth dongles , but whitout sofwares for control these dongles , give nothing .

My free gift that I mentioned was junk. Went straight to the trashcan.
Thanks for posting bt adapter results, now I won't bother to find mine.

I tried to root with king root, but after I stated the app, it said there was no root available for the device.
Where I got the app: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/one-click-root-tool-android-2-x-5-0-t3107461

Rooted with Kingroot 4.9.5-149 . Version 4.9.6 did not work with me either ..

Kingoroot was the only app I found that would root it for me. Tried a couple of versions of kingroot and towelroot with no success.
What sat nav apps have people managed to install? I've got igo working after downloading some maps but many of the popular ones say they are not supported on the play store. I tried market helper to see if I could change the device model for the play store but it throws up a token not found error.

Screen casting a MI A2 Lite to a Sony Bravia Smart TV - Not working

Hello everyone!
I'm trying to screen-mirror my A2 Lite to a Smart TV Sony Bravia KDL40W605B, but for the moment I cannot do it.
Both the devices are connected to the same wireless network, they browse happily without any problem and have the latest software updates installed.
If I choose "Cast" from the notification bar and choose the Sony Bravia TV from the device list, nothing happens.
What am I doing wrong? Is there any way to solve this issue?
Thanks to whomever will answer me.
P.S. Just for saying, my old Samsung A3 (2015) and my old Huawei P8Lite (2016) did screen mirroring with that Sony TV without any problem.

I don't think there is a solution yet, except trying some 3rd party apps. I also tried to use this phone with screen mirroring or whatever Samsung TV's function is called, and it briefly worked, the image freezed on the tv, followed by the phone failure to connect to that device again until unplugged and plugged in again, followed by the same error. Sometimes it would work for hours, sometimes not at all.
On my friends Samsung (A5 or something like that) connecting to that TV works just like charm.

Hello TheoXSD, thanks for answerring me.
If the built-in "Cast" software doesn't work, then I'll use third party apps, there's no problem for me. The question is: which app should I use? I searched a bit on google play store and found tons of applications regarding this topic, but the majority looked quite obsure and strange to me...
My goal is to just duplicate my smartphone screen into my Bravia TV, nothing more.
Can't really understand why Samsung decives work so well when casting the screen...

I really have no idea. Better software support and licensing I presume.
As for which app to use, I have no idea, check them one by one, which fits you best. I gave up on screen mirroring since that day.

I understand. May I ask once again if anybody has any solution to this problem?
Because maybe I am doing something wrong, without knowing it.
That's just it, I choose "Cast" from the status bar, it recognises the Bravia TV and then...nothing happens and it loads forever.
Please somebody help

Look for scrcpy (PC software), it connects via usb. On linux it works fine.

I guess the only problem would be that I need to screen cast my smartphone's screen through wireless and not through cable. Thanks anyway.
However, yesterday something happened, both positively and negatively and I managed to cast my Mi Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite to my Sony Bravia KDL40W605B.
I followed a tutorial on YouTube by Geeki Review and it worked once, just once, perfectly, and then it stopped and I couldn't manage to make it work again ever more, even though I replicated the same exact steps.
The tutorial was like this:
1) Go to TV -> System Settings -> Setup -> WiFi Setup (Or simply go to SEN, Settings, Network).
2) Activate WiFi and WiFi Direct and then go to WiFi Settings
3) Press Options on the remote and choose Manual, Other method, No WPS
4) Now the TV offers you a WPA Key, take a picture of it or write it somewhere!
5) On your smartphone go to Settings, turn of the WiFi, find the Bravia Wifi network and connect it using the WPA Key
6) Wait untile the registration process completes and the choose to forget that WiFi Network
7) Now on the TV remote go to Soucres and choose Screen mirroring
8) On your smartphone choose Cast from the notification bar, choose Bravia TV, choose Accept on the TV and then wait, it may take some minutes.
It worked perfectly only ONCE.

Screen mirroring on a Sony KD-49XD8005 AndroidTV not working (anymore)

Greetings,
I'm trying to mirror the screen of my Samsung Galaxy A3 Smartphone (using the pre-installed "Smart View" app) on a Sony KD-49XD8005 TV (using the pre-installed "Screen Mirroring" app) and it just isn't working. More precisely it isn't working anymore, because some time ago it did work. I can't provide many details, sadly, because it was the TV of my sister back then. I got it from her only a few days ago. Just one thing: it was definitely an older Android TV version back then.
I see the TV on my smartphone, but the connection attempt fails after 1-2 minutes. I see that a WiFi-direct connection gets stablished inbetween, then everything disappears.
I've searched on the internet in the hope to find a solution, but it didn't really work out. Most "guides" are rather useless like "restart everything, install the newest updates on everything" and so on. Some articles advice to turn off the bluetooth connection, which I did.
Some articles suggest to use Google Chromecast via the Google Home app, but that's a bit too much for what I wanted to achieve. All the privileges the app wants, all the stuff about adding "rooms" and what not... Casting via the Google Chrome browser was mentioned a few times as well, but I don't see anything related to this on my smartphone.
So from my understanding there are 3 options:
- getting the current setup to work somehow (not very likely, probably)
- replacing the current "Screen mirroring" app on the TV with the appropriate app from one of the current Sony TVs (would be my preferred solution, I think, but not sure if that works)
- installing some third party Miracast screen mirroring app from the play store (any advices?)
Would be great, if you guys could point me into the right direction here... If there is another option, please let me know. Was looking for a complete AndroidTV ROM as alternative first, but there seems not to be one as far as I saw.
Some details:
After the latest update Android TV 9 is installed on the TV. The version of the pre-installed Screen Mirroring app is 4.1.A.0.8 and it apparently originates from screnmirroring.com
Not sure if the missing "e" is a typo or if there was such a domain at some point. Currently I only can reach screenmirroring.com (with double "e") and this website is about an app called "Castto" from SoomApps, so it's something different, apparently.
Before this TV I had a very old one (not even a smart TV) and was using an Amazon FireTV stick 4k on it. Screen mirroring with the stick was working just fine. Also mirroring the screen of a tablet is working fine with the FireTV stick, so it's the TV, that is causing trouble, not the other devices.

Have you tried Chromecasting to the TV? I Chromecast to my 900e from various devices, including a Samsung tablet.
