Many of the people who had been wondering why Google chose to go with the OMAP 4460 as the processor for the Galaxy Nexus have gotten yet another answer to that question. The Omap4 series of processors are compatible with wifi display. as of right now, besides the Omap4 family the Snapdragon S4 is the only mentioned to be getting wifi display. It looks as if the Tegra 3 isn't going to support it at all according to http://www.androidauthority.com/wifi-display-to-make-your-life-easier-in-2012-47153/ . At this time it looks as though the OMAP4 is going to be the only current gen chip that will support wifi display, and of course with us having a nexus device we will most likely be seeing that update before anybody.

No problem. According to the androidandme article we're looking at a summer release. I am looking forward to this coming to our phones as I think it would be very useful for me. Often times I'll either connect a laptop to the TV or my cell phone and stream kid's shows from a particular site for my son. It would be very nice if I could do that without having to connect my phone directly to the television like I've been doing. I could sit across the room on my computer while he watches his show and still have my phone right next to me. That would be nice.
Is this WiDi?

From what I understand (and I could be wrong, so anyone correct me if I am) widi is an intel thing and it's for displaying your pc wirelessly to a television. Wifi display involves a "wifi direct" connection between two devices and is actually an emerging standard that the wifi alliance is backing. All in all I don't think it is the same thing was WiDi.
But we need tv that support this wifi display?
I don't have such tv.

That or just an adapter. Also, from my understanding it works with computers too, and any other wifi display capable device (not sure what other devices that would be).

Maybe it will work better than WiFi Direct? Has anybody managed to figure this crap out?
Maybe hardware supports it, but I think we will need software to handle this. I'm not sure that there is a permission for app to handle access to wifi radio (and any other hardware needed for this), so it will have to be implemented in the OS...
This technology is much lower latency than Intel WiDi, and it's also not proprietary. WiDi is good only for video, whereas WiFi Display is quick enough to support real-time gaming. And as an open standard that's cheap to implement, you can expect it to kill WiDi in short order.

Connecting two wifi direct devices isn't too difficult. For example, connecting a galaxy s2 to a Galaxy Nexus works fairly easily. That being said, you are right that wifi display will have to be implemented on the OS level. From what I understand they expect an update to come from Google some time this summer that will implement the feature. We've got something to look forward to this summer lol.
Could the WiFi display work two ways, buy a small 10.1" WiFi display with touch screen, connect to the Galaxy Nexus - instant Nexus Tablet!

I was wondering the exact same thing! That would be great if that turns out to be possible. There seems to be several different possible applications for this. I'm excited to see what the community comes up with for this.
Something off the top of my head is: Having software installed on the computer to remotely control the phone. Create a nfc tag that starts up wifi display to your tv and launches the computer remote controls. When you place the phone on the tag you will instantly be able to control the phone via the computer and have it displayed on the television. That's just an idea that came to my mind.
This is why i got a nexus
Is there any word on when we might be receiving this?
What I want to know is when we will see the technology on the TV side. Google updating doesn't do much good until we have devices to pair with.
On another note, I'd have trouble justifying purchase of a toggle or $4000 flagship Sony TV exclusively for this functionality. I wonder if we will see this technology utilized in entry-level smart tvs or rokus, google tvs, and xboxes. This feature will really become useful when it is available on most any wifi-connected display around you.

I'm just hoping for an adapter box that outputs HDMI.
Looks like the Galaxy SIII is going to beat us to it.
Can't wait to see the first demos of it. Perhaps it's like with iphone.

The demos from Texas Instruments I saw looked more appealing than the iPhone's method to me. The latency is also suppose to be much lower. I'm excited, that was the one feature of the iOS ecosystem I was very jealous of.
This is somewhat OT, but Samsung is also releasing a set of cameras with built-in WiFi direct capability. Your phone basically becomes a remote control/viewfinder for the camera and you can control most of its functions. I love where this technology is going.
Hello guys, I registered in this forum hoping to find a solution for the problem I have.
I bought an original Samsung HDTV Adapter (Micro USB type) to use it to connect my new Galaxy S3 to my LCD Samsung TV via HDMI cable, BUT IT DOESN’T WORK !!
I checked the same adapter with a Galaxy Nexus and it worked just fine, but I had no luck to get it work with Galaxy S3. Any reason for that?
Please help. Thank you!
Have you set the TV-Out options on the phone?
There is no TV-Out options in the phone !! , any other thoughts?
The settings might be in the AllShare application or something like that, most phone's with TV-Out don't have it enabled by default as you have to choose PAL/NTSC/etc. I'm just guessing based on my SGS1 though, I don't have my SGS3 yet.
Can confirm it's not working. Couldn't find any mention of mhl in the manual either.
Also mine that I used with Note is not working
Inviato dal mio GT-I9300 con Tapatalk 2
Damn, this is a bit of a major for me! I hope this isn't a case of Samsung not including MHL to sell more of their AllShare Cast dongles...
Charlie Sheen aproves this accessory.
http://www.handtec.co.uk/product.ph...--official-wi-fi-display-hub--ead-t10udegxeu-
This is a major letdown. I've also bought a MHL adapter to use with my (delayed pebble blue -.- ) SIII, didn't expect this to happen.
Anyone else has tried connecting the phone through hdmi?
That’s really frustrating!! I guess I figured it out and it doesn’t look nice from Samsung.
I found this accessory online which is yet to be released and compatible with the S3:
Part No: EPL-3FHUBEGSTD (sorry I cant post links as im a new user and the system wont allow me, u will be able to find that part in MobileFun site )
The same older model won’t work !! it’s the same device though with an older version. Here is the old model part no. which is available in market now:
Part No: EIA1UHUNBECSTD (u can search it in the same site “MobileFun”)
So if you have your old HDTV Adapter, I guess you can’t use it with the S3. That’s BAD Samsung, really BAD
Anyway, if any 1 can figure a way to make the older model work with the S3 please post it here, as im not eager to buy a second HDTV Adapter
Hi
I tried my old Bizlink with my S3 - it definitely does not work. Apparently only the new cable (EPL-3FHUBEGSTD) will work.
MobileFun expect their new HDTV adaptors on Friday.
Well, this is annoying. My old Samsung official MHL one doesn't work, and neither does my prototype one from the MHL consortium. Would like to know how Samsung explain messing up a connection standard?
My speculation: they have changed it so that the adapter delivers more charge to the S3 during MHL connection sessions...

Thats what i thought also !! Samsung must have changed the power requirement for the newer model. Its very annoying from Samsung i agree.
Got a confirmation from Samsung that the MHL adapter sold for the SGS2 won't work for the SGS3. They didn't mention whether they would release a new one, but I assume they will.
i have same problem i think they want us to buy dongle

They won't work. They will have said that in anticipation of them working (which is entirely fair enough on their part, since, you know, MHL is a connections standard that Samsung seem to have messed up).

It will mirror the phones display at 1280x720p, but will output HD video to the videos actual resolution up to full HD.

I know it says its compatible with Z2 that's why I have posted here to check if anyone with a Z1 can verify that it works on it as well...
It'll work with any device with S800 S600 and S400 SoC. That's what qualcomm says. So it will also work with the Z1. I'm only worried about that ampers regulation according to the device temperature which is already in the Z1. that means that more hot the device gets while charging then the slower it'll charge. I'm curious how it'll go with QC2
Hmmm it says "certified" which is fancy smanshy for positively will work 100% sure but it's like a car, "certified" which is fancy for used
I ordered 2 docomo charger. Anyboy know this charger amp rate? I think it like the same Ipad 12W charger.............
My OEM charger just died.
Any idea where to get one of those chargers with shipping to Germany?
ebay probably

I've got a PTEC TW QCA-01 charger, and seems to be working great with my m8.
I'm currently in Taiwan, and contacted them and they were able to deliver it to me in person, very surprised by this lol...
Can someone confirm Quick Charge is not working?
not working
Why would anyone make a phone with the Snapdragon 800 SoC and not implement Quick Charge 2.0?
Since we already have s800, maybe we just need the proper kernel?
I have purchased the HTC Rapid Charger 2 (15W) and can confirm it doesn't seem to be any quicker than the stock charger, ridiculous really disappointing

It requires auxiliary qualcomm power management chip which is not present in ours nor OPO. I warn others to not use the QuickCharge 2.0 Chargers because they have 9.0V DC output which is not supported by our batteries as well.
Dose lg G3 supports Quick charging 2.0
Sent from my LG-D855 using XDA Free mobile app
Does the LG G3 have an enabled Quick Charge 2.0 system? Do I need a 3rd party charger to take advantage of that?
Yes I believe all Qualcomm 801, 805 chipsets have QuickCharge enabled.

I'm willing to bet it has to either be kernel enabled or hardware enabled. The new moto x has it with turbo charger.
Anybody heard an update? I've been searching everywhere but can't find any definite answer to whether my G3 has quick charge 2.0 enabled or not.

The G3 charges hella fast anyway, seems to charge in a similar time to the X.

I read this months ago. From there:
In this test, the LG G3 trails behind both the One (M8) and Galaxy S5 in charge time, although it's quite close to the One (M8). This is strange, especially because the LG G2 has the same battery size. However, this can be explained by the change to charging protocol, as it seems that the G3 doesn't support Qualcomm's Quick Charge technology. Instead, signalling is done over BC 1.2. As we'll see later in the article, this is due to the charger chip used.

Real life scenario is My G3 charges just as fast as my personal preference. So I really dont bother
The G3 does not have QC 2.0.
All phones sporting QC 2.0 are listed on the Qualcomm site, and its missing the G3

LG decided not to use QuickCharge on this device as it causes too much damage to the battery in the long-term.
It would be possible to activate it with a custom rom/kernel though (infact CloydyG3 rom already enables "smart charging" which utilises QuickCharge when it thinks you need it)

A questions for any Australians out there , or anyone else that has the answer.
I have seen a lot of posts about the USB-C versions (2.0 vs 3.1 etc), I have also asked Samsung Aus directly and they cannot provide me an answer......(not sure why). Maybe they cant until the phone is released.
But i would like to know what version the Australian model will have......2.0 or 3.1?
This is the model number that comes up on my order; SM-N930FZKAXSA

As far as I'm aware all the Galaxy Note 7's have USB-C 3.1
Actually, disregard that... I just had a look around, apparently it varies from one chipset to the next. I'm guessing the Qualcomm Snapdragon models may have 3.1 and Australian Exynos models 2.0, but not 100% sure.

See, i thought they were all the same until i started digging around as well. Now im confused.
It would be nice to think that being the latest unit it would have 3.1, but i guess it depends on the chip handling it......and in saying that, dont the Exynos chips run better than SD? Im not tech savvy with that so i could be completely wrong in my thought process.

They are both very close in performance, but in majority of videos comparing the Exynos & SD variants of the Galaxy S7 the Exynos comes out as the better performer, although I did see one video that the SD variant won, so not sure what was going on there. The bigger difference it seems is that Qualcomm releases always up to date source code which is needed to get all components of their platform working on AOSP, Samsung does not, so many people tend to like the SDs more for this reason. But in the US the bootloaders are locked down by the phone carriers so they can't modify the software on them anyway.
