I'm using Cyanogenmod 11 on my Verizon HTC one m7, and I can't get Chromecast mirroring to work via the update they released today. The cast screen option that's supposed to show up in the hamburger menu in the app isn't showing up. Is there something I need to do to get this to work, or will it just not work without stock software?

I'm having the exact same problem with my Galaxy S4 running Cyanogen Mod 11. A friend of mine is able to mirror flawlessly to the Chromecast using their S4 running stock Android.
Yeah, I think it might be a Cyanogenmod issue. I can see the option under Settings>Display but it doesn't recognize my Chromecast at all. I have this problem on the 20140705 nightly. Going to try updating to the latest just in case but I'm not expecting it to have been fixed already.
Im running PA 4.42 and I'm getting the same problem.

I have the 50 percent coupon for the samsung s3 accessories. I am currently Looking at the allshare cast for only $50 which is pretty good but it says that it is only compatible for t-mobile or sprint. I have been looking at some custom roms that are sprint or t-mobile based for our at&t and wondering anyones experiences in making these allshare cast wireless hub to work with our at&t phones. If it works can you list the rom you put in and what you had to make it work. Thanks!
Are you talking about the allshare cast dongle? If you are and you have an at&t galaxy s3 i747. Then your phone is already compatible. It should off been installed on your s3 with the latest update.

do you see "Allshare Cast" in "more settings" under wifi and bluetooth settings?
Thats what you need. I believe it was enabled in one of the latest updates
I think what the OP is referring to is the fact that on Samsung's site, where you can use the 50% off coupon on an accessory, under the Allshare Cast it doesn't list it as being compatible with the AT&T GSIII. I have the same question since I've also got the 50% off coupon and I'd like to pick one of these up. But obviously we want to make sure it works with the AT&T version first.
It may be that Samsung just hasn't updated the page yet, since the AT&T GSIII just recently got the app in the updated firmware.

*edit* I just realized there isn't much as far as instructions in that thread...lol. All you need to do is head over to Samsung's website and register. They'll send you a specific code a little while after that.
I'm already registered for Samsung.com, I looked through my e-mails and never received any coupons.
I am currently using a tmobile based leaked rom and it does have the setting but I need peoples input if custom roms will work. Would like to know also about the at&t update if it works with allshare cast.
My only reason for allshare cast is to use xbmc on my tv and controlling it wirelessly with my phone . Making it a complete multimedia phone. If the wireless charger came out also, ill be one happy camper lol.

Just received mine yesterday and it works great on my att phone.
I did hear though that there are a lot of problems with custom roms.

I am on AT&T too & I just ordered mine (the allshare cast), the samsung sales agent says that it might not work on AT&T Galaxy SIII. But I went ahead and ordered it looking at the info posted by you . Thank you.
Currently I am running 'NexusMod-Triune-II-(UX)-20120918' and I do see the 'Allshare Cast' switch in the settings. However, I could not get it to work with my samsung Blueray DVD player BD E7500 which does support allshare (I play videos from my PC onto TV via this DVD player using allshare...that confirmed that the DVD player is good). I also tried going back to 'Stock_rooted_Odexed_UCALH9' ROM, but still no luck.
Just hoping it would work with the 'allshare cast dongle'.
Could you please let us know what ROM are you on ? just in case if it doesn't work I can look around and flash the same ROM.
btw, here is a 50% off coupon if anyone wants to use it. 'rE155806p'.
Thank you in advance.

Guys,
I bought an unlocked ATT Galaxy S3 and the Allshare Cast Dongle. But I dont see the Allshare cast option in settings. If there is an update how can I update my phone.
Any help is appreciated.
Got it yesterday..followed the steps .. it says connected ..but disconnects immediately.
So far I tried this with Stock lh9, NexusMod, ASTRIODS Jellybean ROMs with no luck.
Btw - I got the galaxy note 10.1 tablet yesterday & that works great with the allshare cast dongle.

Finally !! got it to work by following the below steps.
1. Went back to UCALH9 Stock via OTA update after flashing back to Stock I747UCALG1 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1896773)
2. Re-Set the counter using Traingle Away and reboot (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=22463153#post22463153)
Further reading some threads, noticed that we have to be on Stock Radio/Modem in addition to having the Allshare Cast option inthe settings and the counter MUST be 0..

Hi,
I have SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 unlocked att phone. I also got the dongle but I am unable to get it to work. How did you get it to work?
Just wanted to share my experience with this device so far.
I confirm it works on AT&T SGS-I747 UCDLK3 stock unrooted.
The very first time it had some difficulty connecting, but I don't recall exactly how I got it to connect. I remember playing with the reset button, plugging/unplugging the power cord, restarting the phone, turning wifi on/off for about 5 minutes until I got connection. Right away the firmware started updating using the "AllShare Cast Dongle S/W Update" app which got installed automatically from the Market a few days earlier.
Now the hub has FW version LJ02 and connects right away every time, and I don't loose connection.
So I've tried different programs to watch videos:
I streamed a 720p movie from my desktop PC, played it with the stock video player. It was a bit choppy but totally viewable.
Netflix: works really good.
Hulu: would be nice EXCEPT sound is lost everytime there's a commercial, so you have to re-sync with the hub everytime and then re-start the phone to regain media volume control.
HBO Go: The movie plays on both TV and phone at the same time (in all other cases the phone screen goes dark). Sounds lags big time and video quality is lower that the other options.
Can anybody get this to work? I'm constantly dropped wifi direct signal with my tv. I successfully got it to mirror for 5 seconds before it froze. And most of the time I can't even get the N7 to detect my tv in the wifi direct settings. While I have my Note2 right next to it, it can detect it no problem.
Anybody have this working flawlessly? I'm also getting random reboots.. so I'll return this tomorrow I guess (16gb)

I was testing this last night. It is finicky but I got it to work pretty well.
Two things to note based on my observation:
1. Rotating the screen during mirroring drops the connection. This has to be a software bug because my S4 does not do this.
2. The wifi antenna seem to be at the top half of the tablet...so if you're in landscape mode, hold the tablet such that you don't have your hand over that portion. I find that the connection quality is extremely dependent on how you hold the tablet.

I don't have the ability to test it, as i don't have a miracast enabled device, but that sounds a lot like the old 'you're holding it wrong,'Apple quip.
I got the same issues as Lolento.
My Netgear Pvt3000 works perfectly fine with my HTC One (ARHD 12.3 rooted). When i connect it to my Nexus7 2013 (Stock rooted) it starts lagging horribly as soon as i swap it into landscape.
Got no solution for that so far. Kinda disappointing.

Exactly...I'll probably flash a Custom Rom...and see if there's any difference.
Used it with the last unofficial cm10.w nightly and then with the official nightly from a few days ago with a rocketfish miracast reciever from best buy. I thought it was strange that it worked because people have been reporting that it doesnt work on CM at all. With the compression decreasing the quality ive just decided to use my chromecast with the new aircast app that koush is testing now. Dont really game on my android devices so didnt really see a point to get frustrated over full mirroring.

Hi,
I've been running jelly bam lately because of the PA features (specifically per app DPI), but I recently purchased a Fitbit Flex and couldn't get it to work. I contacted their support and they just told me they don't support custom roms.. so I tried to restore my stock ATT/Samsung rom which is just version 4.1.1. The Fitbit Flex software installs and actually has the refresh button now but my phone doesn't seem to see my Flex when bluetooth is on. I think I need an update before I will be able to use the stock rom and I'm not sure how to do the updates with TWRP installed, I tried but it keeps rebooting into recovery. Anyway, I'd prefer not using the stock rom, specifically I would prefer a custom rom with PA features. I've just tried PAC-Man 4.3 nightly from last night (pac_t0lte-nightly-20130823.zip), and while my phone's bluetooth does see the device now, the Fitbit app doesn't give me the options like it did with my stock rom. Has anyone gotten the bluetooth and their Fitbit Flex to work with a custom rom with PA features?
Thanks!
If I recall, on a S3 and using a Fitbit One, you won't see the Fitbit except inside the app. There is a "devices" section in the app which lets you check the sync box. If you don't see that then the phone isn't seeing the Fitbit. Stock rom on the S3 works fine. Any custom rom will show you stats pulled from the web but not allow you to sync from the phone. I believe their app is the problem and not necessarily the phone or rom. Anyway, I've learned to live without syncing from the phone since stock firmware just isn't for me.

This is all exactly the same on my Note 2, but even my stock doesn't rom work. Like I said, possibly due to the old version 4.1.1. Under the stock rom the app shows all the additional options like you mention, but my phone's bluetooth never sees the Flex. I wonder what the Fitbit app uses to determine whether to show the additional options or not. I included screenshots to my "about device". I noticed that my model number was different with the new rom and thought maybe that might have something to do with it because clearly it's not (or not just) the android version.
Have you tried a stock 4.1.2 build ??

Just one thing to try, my FitBit wouldn't initially synchronise with any of my devices (all custom ROM)...but I then tried removing the gel cover and plastic rear battery cover of the phone (an S3), held it very close to the FitBit and it then sync'ed fine!
It seems that this new low-power Bluetooth protocol is a little too low on the power element
Note 2 & Fitbit/Bluetooth Problems
I came here looking for answers/help with my bluetooth... but so far I haven't really been able to find anything that's actually helpful. I can share with everything what I've been able to find out, though.
I have a Galaxy Note 2 running stock on Android 4.4.2 and I have the Fitbit Flex. I used to sync without any problems but after my phone updated to 4.4.2 it no longer syncs. After researching for a few days... it seems the problem is with the Update itself... it reduces power or range of Bluetooth... that's why the Flex cannot sync to it. However, I have discovered an quick fix to that:
When syncing, just place your phone on top of your Flex band and it will sync up without any problems. This has become my temporary solution. Someone else suggest another quick fix would be to turn on Mobile Hotspot on your phone... that is suppose to increase the Bluetooth Power.
I also learned that Samsung won't update the Note 2 to 4.4.4, which would have fixed this problem.. but instead will Update the Note 2 to Lollipop... but that date is still unannounced.
If anyone has any ideas on how to really fix this problem... I'm all ears. The only solution I found was to open up the phone and do something to the bluetooth chip inside... but I forgot where I found that solution.
Hey I was wondering if you could screen mirror or wifi direct to your smart tv. I know after you root your phone the option no longer works, but does aosp or aokp or any google based roms allow you to do this? If I wanted these options back can I just use stock kernel to get this to work?

Just throwing this out there....the Samsung MHL adapter works great for me on my rooted S4. It's not wireless, but still.
I wouldn't think that rooting alone would stop those services from working though. ?

With the adapter you still get the message screen mirroring not allowed. At least with xfinity player. Hbo works fine with it.

Hello guys! I've been having problems with screen mirroring since I installed a custom ROM (alpha) on my t-mobile Samsung gs4, when I try to connect it finds the TV and supposedly connects but immediately disconects. Is there a workaround?

If you go to settings/more/about device/status under device status does it say "Modified"? If so screen mirroring will never work, this must say "Official". With 4.2.2 you can run some ROMs with triangle away to achieve this however with 4.3 triangle away is not compatible.
