Just received the one for the S3 today. hooked it up, got good video and sound from my Sony Bravia TV. One problem, the video refreshes or goes blank every few seconds on the TV. What can be causing this (Bluetooth on ?). I searched the forums with no luck. Any help would be appreciated.

Does anyone know if this product:
Micro USB to HDMI® MHL Adapter
http://www.monoprice.com/products/p...=10833&cs_id=1083314&p_id=8805&seq=1&format=2
Would work on the HTC Thunderbolt to output video to a TV?
I don't know but for $10 how much is going to hurt if it doesn't work? I like the idea though.

I just got a response on another forum that it doesn't work. Apparently the thunderbolt doesn't have the MHL adapter capability.
So is there any other way then to get video on your TV from the Thunderbolt?
I have never been able to get the DLNA player working on the phone. If that is the only way then I would appreciate a how-to guide on getting it to work.

Don't rhink the thunderbolt has dlna or mhl.

dlna does work with the thunderbolt. I have used windows 7 media center and a smart TV with Wifi to send videos and music. It can be a little slow, but it may have been the Wifi network I was on. If you don't have a built-in media share app on the rom you are using, you can find some on the play store.
USE twonky works great u get a free couple of uses after that have to pay

How about something like this: HTC Media Link. I'd provide links, but can't due to the number of posts I have, but if you Google HTC Media Link you should find info.
has anybody tried this with the s3? I heard it only works with 4.2 i.e. nexus 4

Did a little bit of digging for you.
This is the only thing I found on the S3 and WiDi (aka. be compatible with the device you listed above)
http://forums.androidcentral.com/samsung-galaxy-s-iii/189506-anyone-try-sgs-iii-w-widi-wi-fi-display-adapter.html
To be honest, the thread was pretty messy, but overall definitely has some interesting information
I'm thinking it should work. I saw another thread where someone said it worked with their note 2

Personally I run a:
http://www.amazon.com/Adapter-HDMI-3FHU-Samsung-Galaxy/dp/B0080CXSOU
to connect to my home theater. Not sure how well the wireless video/audio would turn out.
In my experience streaming anything over the air turns out poorly.
I guess the wireless nature of it all could be convenient though

I have the mhl adapter also, but it gets annoying having to constantly hook it up every time I wanted to watch a movie. At the same time, I don't wanna sacrifice sound quality just to be wireless. I'm torn!!!!!

It can connect to one s3, but on the other, it connects, but before it shows on the tv, I get a message on the phone that says current allshare cast connection will end and the allshare instructions reappear on the tv. Both phones have the same Rom (beans 9) and same kernel, (imo)

Is your dongle up to date with the latest firmware (LJ02)? While not perfect, I've found a lot of my problems went away after upgrading. If you need help with that you can check this post.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2060830
Also, very often I find that I need to reboot the phone and sometimes unplug/replug in the dongle to get it to work.
Good luck.

Dongle is up to date and I also have the latest allshare cast apk (the one blocked by Verizon). I've rebooted the phone, reset and powered the dongle off then on, still nothing. Still only connects to 1 of 2 phones

Update:
Both phones say they are connected, problem now is the dongle stays on the welcome screen and never mirrors the phones screens. Not sure if anyone has had this problem
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium
Ever since the 4.1.2 update (could be coincidence) I have not been able to use the dongle. It connects, then says "Current AllShare Cast connection will end".
I have a GT-N8013 and a GN2 SCH-I605, both not rooted.
I spent about an hour on chat with Samsung and ened up with them telling me to call tech support. It seems there are a lot of people who have this problem, but they are usually rooted and can fix it, but no answer for us non rooted people.
Any suggestions?
Works for me.
Try an reset the dongle. Clear cache of allshare app on your tablet.
And connect dongle straight to tv... bypass receiver if you are using one.

Are you running the newest ME29 Dongle Firmware? Have you downloaded the AllShare Cast App?
Plugging straight into the tv worked. Never thought of that

Me29 firmware is responsible for this.

If you've tried it, and it fails, then the receiver isn't HDCP-compliant, so no unfortunately. The ME29 firmware seems to have helped more folks than it hurt, though- as now I can use the ASCD even with a custom kernel (as long as I roll back the Bootloader), as I guess they're doing more DRM checks at the HDMI port instead of inside the ASC SW in the GNote.
ok, thanks. I am glad the eBay seller takes returns . Picked up a roku 2 Hd for $35 on eBay. Sounds like it will work better for my needs.

Or allshare cast dongle fixed.
Just install "ScreenMirroring Patch" from Google play.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sec.screenmirroringpatch
I am unrooted in the UK on o2. I updated to kitkat and screen mirroring stopped working as this has been happening to other people if you search Google. so after many searchings on Google I found this to fix a different problem, but it fixed screen mirroring after updating to kitkat.
Wanted to put this out there because I could not find a fix searching Google. Hope this helps.

If anyone is using the AllShare Cast Hub device, can you tell me what output resolution your device is using since KitKat. Mine which are on old firmware (no way to update the firmware with S4 or Note3!!), output 1080p/30 which is an unusual resolution and my Panasonic TV doesn't support it. Prior to KitKat, it was still 720p on the hub device even the phone is of course 1080
Resolution is 1920x1080 full hd.I tryed now a movie i am on uk 4.4.2 and is working.

Yes the 1080 bit I agree...its the refresh bit thats the problem. At 1080, you can have 50/60Hz (most common), 24p (blu-ray) and 30p (weird things). Samsung is using the 30p connection which is what is causing me all the problems
for those who can't search or just can't be ar**d!

Ty bro
Still doesn't work for me and my Cloudnetgo Miracast dongle. After patching with the Samsung app, about one in every ten screen mirroring attempts connect but only for about half a minute.

My note 3 didn't connect either. What I did was hit the reset button once on the hub device and then turned on the screen mirroring very quickly after the release of the reset button. It connected and always does since then.

Well, you can stick it in your pocket and take it anywhere. Hotel room or work. Bluray player stays at home. The allshare/screen mirroring is way better with my LG tv. I can plug my headphones into the phone and watch the tv. The cast hub will disconnect if you keep the headphones plugged in.

It doesn't work with the hub. It works with my LG Tv mirror cast. However, if you have the hdmi adapter the headphones will work while it outputs video to you tv. I noticed this after the kitkat update.

the same here... and it seems theres no workaround...
for the previous android version 4.3 i used a patched libWFD_ENGINE.so file which worked with root, but with the new kitkat there is no such a file in the library folder..

so, theres no way on kitkat?
Any one have fix this for rooted device?
as far as my findings go, try it with a stock kernel, even when rooted it should work then!
screen mirror fail note 3
Patch says not needed. Used to mirror from note 3 to tv thru my Sony BDP s3200 but quit after note 3 android update. BS. What to do? It was so clean and NO LAG AT ALL. PISSED
