Just got ME29 firmware update, and i think it takes away the lag i used to see before.
Screen mirroring from my s3 and note10.1 is much faster now!
I think they have added true HD support for mirroring now.... i am guessing in preparation for note 3 release.

Did this update the dongle itself like the previous updates?
I've installed the app update, but am not getting the firmware upgrade prompt when I connect to the dongle.
My dongle still shows version LJ02. Previous updates have changed the actual dongle firmware version for me...?

Yes, it did for me.
Hmm, strange. Does yours say version ME29 on the connection standby screen (on the TV) now?
Is your phone a GT-I9300 too?
Thanks

My Allsharecast dongle with version ME29 refuse to connect
Hello.
I updated my Allsharecast doungle to latest version ME29, and also got the connectivity problem.
The solution was to disconenct the Allshare Cast Doungle from my Yamaha receiver and connect it directly to my Samsung TV HDMI port. This solved the problem ( a RESET was also needed ). Hope it helps !!!!!!
Hello
I can't update my allshare cast dongle and I don't know why

I updated my Allsharecast doungle to latest version ME29, and since then i am unable to sync my Galaxy Note2 to the device. The connection will always fail, and i lost my mirroring capability.
Before the upgrade it was working just fine.
Anyone with similar problem, and any idea how to fix it or go back to previous version?
Thanks

I've got exactly the same problem. With the version before it was working. After the update the connection failes every time.
I'm on stock kernel and checked flash counter and reset it. No help anyway. I hope Samsung is going to fix this. Is there anyone with a note 2 on which it is working with the new version ME29?
Damn...

Exactly the same problem, but with an S3. Worked fine rooted with the previous dongle version, connection now always disconnects after 10 seconds with ME29.
If anyone is thinking of upgrading and is rooted, I'd hold on until this is resolved - the dongle is essentially useless for me now. FFS Samsung!
Same issue, not with root

Hi all,
Updated my dongle to ME29 as well and none of my devices can connect to it either. Well noted is that none of them are rooted, so root has nothing to do with the issue! Have tried with both galaxy s3 and galaxy note 8.0.
Hope Sammy fixes it really soon!
Ps. Another thing was that the update also changed my device name which didn't happen on the last update...

Hello,
Exactly the same thing with an S3 and "multiple windows" are activated by themselves.
I have stock, unrooted note 10.1 tablet and att s3 cell.
I can connect fine as mentioned in OP.
So maybe its rooted phones that have this issue.

Upgraded my galaxy s3 to 4.1.2, and can confirm that allshare dongle still works nicely.
So it may be phones with modified or custom status that are now having issues.
Sent from my GT-N8013 using Tapatalk
To further confuse the situation, it seems my rooted s3 connects fine to the ME29 dongle when it is plugged directly into my Sony TV. It doesn't work at all via my Onkyo AV receiver.
Both worked fine on the previous version, so it looks like the update makes some kinds of connections to certain devices unstable or impossible.
Other threads posted seem to clarify this, perhaps due to it not waiting long enough to negotiate the HDCP connection on some TVs and projectors.
It certainly doesn't seem related to having rooted the phone. I've just watched a full film without issue on the working TV using Allshare.
Hopefully Samsung will note and address this issue quickly.

no problem
Hello,
I have rooted galaxy note 10.1, I update allshare cast dongle to ME29 version.
There is no problem at all. The tablet connected to the dongle and I used it more than twenty minutes without any disconnection.
Anyone try to solve the problem by pushing the reset button in the back of the dongle? (just try)
By the way my TV is Samsung LCD series 3.
Previous version works with Nexus 4.. not now
Samsung is getting more and more proprietary

I have the same problem with denon receiver. Is any way to fix it?
If I connect directly with LG TV it is works.
Same problem with my onkyo receiver just spent 45 minutes on the phone with Samsung support and got nowhere. GN2 Beans Build 21
Have tried contact with Samsung Support multiple times regarding this but they do not even seem to acknowledge the problem, still want me to do a factory reset of my phone... *sigh*.
As the rest, works perfectly connected directly to the TV but I can forget about the reciever. Have tried to find a way to revert firmware but seems impossible, has anyone got a clue how to go back to the previous dongle firmware?
can anyone tell me if (in the end) it is possible to have two remembered devices? e.g. two phones in the house... I've heard that in order to do this you need to reset de dongle each time you wanna connect a second phone...
any inputs?
Hey,
I have bougt a hdmi miracast dongle at eBay.
It is mediatek CPU based and only accept a micro USB connection.
Attached to this message are two pictures that show the inside and the outside.
This dongle is a zk technologies w18 dongle and beside miracast it should also support Intel widi.
Unfortunately it doesn't support... and I cannot connect my laptop to the dongle.
I can connect two different phones with 4.2.1 android, but no success with Intel widi
Any one has a device like this? Any idea where can i get a new firmware?
Thanks!
Ihave the same device and same question? Are there any solutions to hacking this device?

But after a few tries i've managed to connect my laptop to the device, but it just worked one time... and i have no idea how did i manage to do that... and i could never ever again got it connected...
So i will have to wait for a while and see what is their "hardware" upgrade...

So, it is interesting that they provide update functionality. Could you please ask them about it? Is it possible to update existing device on home PC?

Sorry I was wrong. I want to connect my macbook to device, so I have to establish computer-to-computer connection. The right words should be, "supporting computer-to-computer wifi connection".
My questions:
I just bought device hdmi dongle (w18) and try to find way for connecting my macbook.
Could you please tell is it possible? Should I update firmware for that, and can I do it at home PC for existing device?
Does device support wifi access point mode, because I found that mac os x have no wifi direct?

I have a device that internally looks the same, although I do not know who produced it, but where your's say MT-WFD18, mine says RLM218_1.1, and just below W-SL + 2813.
I haven't tried anything else than just miracast, which worked not so well, was fairly slow screen update, with sound out of sync while using Dice Player on my LG G2.
When i read det description from the seller it mentions something about 'intuitive interface', from what I can see, it is just a bootlogo static screen, is there a standard way of communicating with these devices, like common SW that do something, or is it likely the intuitive interface is just that, static screen?
Did anyone find any hacks/fw updates for these?
[EDIT] Added pictures, sorry about the quality, lazy and just used mobile phone, and it seem i amanged to get part of my beard in with it! :/
I have what seems to be a re-branded ZK W18(Allview Smart2View). Worked reasonably well with my phone for a while(some stuttering was present, the occasional disconnect) but I was quite happy with it as my phone has no tv-out. Used it maybe about 5 times. Today I was trying to show somebody some videos I took from one of my kids training and discovered it has no sound. Got sound after a reboot, but it disconnected after half a minute and sound didn't come back since. I am also interested in an update to make it more stable...
Miracast smart2view dongle

1. better hardware(impossible...)
2. better firmware(almost as impossible, it seems)
Yups... i still haven't found a new firmware
I have this device too (allview branded). Worked for a while, then sound dissappeared, then it kept restarting, then just gives black screen. I suspect it's overheating, and maybe it is damaged because of that. Not recomended...
found this in a chinese file sharing website.
I searched with the terms mt8636 and rlm218 and found this:
https://ufile.io/gah08
I don't know if something can be done with that but maybe someone can see what it is.
So I have an original DS4 (apparently this isn't an issue with the latest model) and while it will connect via BT it doesn't actually work. This is the first android device I've seen not work with this controller and I find it super annoying.
I'm wondering if anyone else has gotten it to work?

I've not been able to get either of mine to connect and work. Do you know what models are supposed to work. I might see if I can do a swap with my brothers newer version.
Dear readers,
I have a A50 and a PS4 controller.
After trying multiple times and resetting phone and controller I have still no luck.
Inside setting it says the controller is connected, but when I press the buttons on the controller the phone does not respond.
The light on the ps4 controller is white. (indicating it is connected)
As soon as I try to turn bluetooth off the bluetooth switch gets stuck until I reboot the phone.
I got the latest software update from October.
I tried the same controller on Note 9 and S7 everything is working as it should only on the A50 I get problems.
My question is, is there any other A50-PS4 controller users here with the same problem?
And did any of you solve the issiue or do we have to wait for a Samsung update.
Here is a similar issue with an S10 from march created by Smow , with other users responding with A50 and A70 with same problem.
Cant post any links yet. It is on the Samsungcommunity if you Google for 'PS4 Controller Connection Issues' you will find it.
Two days ago when COD Mobile came out i tried that out and had the same issue. Saw in samsung community that there are a lot of users having the same problem. I guess it is a bug that should be fixed by an update. One user suggested to use the controller over usb but i did not tried out that as i had no otg cable at the moment. Thinking to try it out after work today.
Same here
I have the exactly same problem... Looking and waiting for solutions.
Will post any solutions, if I find one...
Thanks!
Any Update?
Can anyone confirm whether it works now after all these updates?
Any Updates, buddy?

Problem not solved Its continue Why samsung can't fix this?
Who says it's a software limitation and not a hardware one?
Afaik Android 10 is a requirement for proper connection...
Tenho o mesmo aparelho e também o mesmo problema. Até agora nada de soluções.
finally!
today was installed an update of about 700mb official Samsung. It has included some improvements in camera, wifi and also addressing this defect of dualshock 4. I am relieved, months of waiting for this fix.???
So, I'm confused. I'm using the galaxy A50, and my current OS is 10, and I can connect the dualshock 4 to my phone via bluetooth, but when I open Playstation Remote Play, it tells me my phone doesn't support dualshock4 so I can't use it. What am I missing here, since you folks seemed to have gotten it to work?
Hi guys
So, I've recently picked up my 8 year old Sony SmartWatch 2 and some wristbands for it since mine constantly self destroyed themselves, being the reason i stopped using the watch in 2017 or so.
So, I use a Samsung Galaxy A7 (2018) with android 10 and one ui 2.0 and I installed the Smart connect version 5.7.35.0001 as recommended in one of the posts here I believe and I've sideloaded the Smartwatch 2 host app both found on sony's website (https://www.sony.com/electronics/su...es-xperia-smart-devices/sw2/articles/00241423) and one found on the same post in XDA that i saw for the companion app. The thing is, I can't get the text companion app (the official one) to show up on the watch and on the host app after being sideloaded, neither the gmail, the call manager and anything at all.
I've tried anything from resetting the watch a bunch of times to installing older versions of the host and smart connect app, but i still can't get it to work.
Can anyone help me please? I really like this watch
