Hi!
I've been researching allshare. It looks cool. My TV doesn't have it. After doing much reading, it seems this is just wifi streaming (DLNA). I don't want to spend money for that Allshare dongle to HDMI. Tell me if this would work.
I have a windows 7 PC with wireless N. Is their an app for Windows that can receive the Allshare stream from the Galaxy S3? I'm mainly like the idea of mirroring the S3 screen on my 52" monitor connected to the Win7 PC.
If Allshare is just a wifi protocal. How can I set up my PC to use it?
Thanks
Max

I have a samsung 7 series hdtv with 2usb ports. I plugged in via usb changed the source on my tv to the usb selection. I mounted my sd card as you would to your pc. Selected media. From here I could access the root of my sd card. No problem finding pictures and all my media. Picture quality was as good as my pc. I'm sure its better than connecting via 3.5 to rca. I did have the tv out option selected but I don't know if this I'd necessary since your mounting you're sd card

I don't mean to be rude or anything. But to be technical, that's not TV out. Realize that they are putting small computer-type equipment into media equipment these days. Technically the computer in the TV was browsing your phone like your Desktop would, and the computer in the TV was displaying the images on the TV. Its like hooking up your computer to a TV and going that route.
Otherwise that's an interesting wish. The TV Out option would have nothing to do with that method.

Not rude at all. But isn't the point of tv out to veiw media on your phone? I understand that I could use my app s through my tv but why would I wan t to do that? The phones display displays it much nicer and id be limited to a 3 ft wire connected to my device. Just curious?
Also has any one used dlna to communicate with there tv? What about plugging it into a ps3? I was trying to use my ps3 to play music from my cap since my ps3 is hooked up to my receiver. I could get my ipod to. Just some thoughts

I have used the DLNA feature to stream to my ps3. As long as they are the same network, your ps3 should discover the captivate when you select search for media server option in the xmb menu. It works pretty good but then again i was only streaming music.

that dosn't count as tv-out.
tv-out is the phone doing the processing and your tv receiving the signal.
In your case, the tv is reading the music/movies off your memory card and doing the processing.
you don't need tv out enabled.
I have a 7 series Samsung tv as well. I can't believe I didn't think of this before. Obviously this is better than the composite out that I have been using. I can also keep the screen off on the phone unlike when using composite out. Thanks!
TV Out is an option that is tied to the 3.5mm jack. If you ahve the right wire - you can send your phone's display out this port to a TV (Component video and Sound) - so you can display the web browser or recorded video or any part of the phone's desktop.
I assume samsung added this for people that have older TVs that can't mount USB and don't support DLNA. You only need to enable TV-OUT if you are using the 3.5mm cable.
Ok, I am trying to fully utilize my lovely Android technology, and I need some help... Let me explain what I am looking to do...
Devices:
-Android Tablet
-Several Android Phones
-Wireless Media Server - NOT hooked up to a TV
The hook up:
-Android devices will be hooked to each TV in my home, via HDMI. This will also essentially give the TV's WiFi access...Kinda...
-The Media Server is locked away. And is also Hard-wired to the internet, and is the main hub for WiFi access for the rest of the house.
-The tablet is stand-alone (Able to access WiFi when needed)
What I want to be able to do:
Here's the scenario... Sitting on the couch, and nothing is on TV. So I grab my tablet, and access my media via my network... I find a movie I want to watch... But I don't want to watch it on the Tablet... I want to watch it on the TV in the living room, where I am currently sitting. So, I touch the picture of the movie cover on the tablet, and tell it to then broadcast from the Media Server via WiFi to the phone hooked up to the TV I wish to watch it on.
Now, here's the kicker...
* I would prefer that this streaming media is NOT ported through the tablet... I prefer the tablet to simply be the remote, so to speak.
* I DO NOT want to hook the Server to any television at all.
* The Media server MUST be password protected
* If it's possible, I'd like the option of Ad-Hoc, no actual internet connectivity needed..
So the question is this... Is this possible, using only Android devices and a Media Center PC running Windows 7??
Thank you in advance to all who reply.
Where I'm staying right now, no Wifi or Wilan. My laptop doesn't support bluetooth. My Carrier gives me a service that allows me to watch live streming tv on phone, It doesn't allow me to connect it to TV or something. I have windows 7 on PC, and Android kit kat. Samsung galaxy s4.
I'm wondering if it's somehow possible to connect mobile to laptop using the normal USB cable. And stream the mobile app activity to laptop, so I could watch live streaming on my PC, then I'd use an HDMI cable to connect it to TV.
Is this possible? I recently bought a Samsung Allshare that I can run through HDMI to any TV, but it seems it'd be a simple program that I could run on my MK908ii and just be able to do the same thing. I've seen the little mirroring icon on my phone where I can watch videos and/or pics that I've got saved directly on my phone, but I'm more or less looking to be able to mirror EVERYTHING so I can watch sites like MovieDroid, Showbox, etc without having to carry the Allshare from TV to TV since one of my TV's always keeps this dongle in it anyways. I don't have internet at home (long story), otherwise I'd just run the movie apps directly from the MK908ii...before anyone asks.

Hey, im want to mirror my screen from my galaxy s6 to my samsung smart tv UE40ES6710 but the problem is that the wifi from my smart tv is broken, also i cant scan for wifi cause it doesnt find anything and sometimes it crashes and hang up when i try to connect my tv wirh my wifi. So my question is can i mirror my screen from my s6 to my smart tv WITHOUT having my smart tv connected to wifi??? I tried a usb wifi adapter but when i plug it in my smart tv it doesnt get recognized, but the wifi adapter is ok cause it works on my pc. i tried every usb port on my tv but it doesnt help. Can i use something like screen mirroring or quick connect but without have my smart tv connected to internet??
And no ethernet cable, too
Try a Chromecast. Plugs into hdmi, has its own Wi-Fi, you can mirror your phone. $35.
EDIT: ^ What he said.
Chrome cast is cheap and awesome

Is there any other way to stream my screen and sound without chromecast? The problem is that my network adapter from my tv seems to be broken and that the software is absolutely buggy too, i couldnt update the girmware from my smart tv with a usb so i need to try another way without buy something new like chromecast stick or hdmi to micro usb cable.
I don't think the S6 supports a cabled connection, so ìf the WiFi on your TV is broken a Chromecast is going to be cheaper than replacing the TV connection.
