So I noticed the other night I was able to stream a movie from my Note 10.1 to my Samsung TV. I have 2 of them, which I guess both have a built-in Allshare support. Do all new smart TV's have this and or some sort of feature? i.e. if I went to a friends and they have an LG? or would I need to get something like this?
For tv's other than samsung you need the Allshare cast hub/dongle... This allows you to use your tv set as a large screen...
Would you mind briefly sharing your method?

Connect Allsharecast hub/dongle to the TV via HDMI (turn to right channel), pair note10.1/SGS3 and see all things mobile on your TV screen....
This works on all TV's but be aware that rooted devices must have stock recovery installed to work. I've also noticed that some stock roms won't work no matter what recovery you are using....

I'm rooted with the CWM recovery and the Allshare cast works all the same (but maybe it's necessary to reset the counter with Triangle Away as I did).
Did that but wouldn't work, Back to stock recovery and it worked....
I'm on UK JB. That might make a difference. Also I found that even though I use triangle-away to reset the counter, on JB it stays on 1 every time I reboot...

Can't that be accomplished without a dongle? I swear I've seen that advertised somewhere before...

I have too, My TV is on the list of compatible devices, an LED/LCD TV from 7000 series 2011 (Samsung of course), but it just won't connect.... Might do for later TV's but after a lot of hair pulling and some absolutely useless advice from Samsung's help desk it, "You're not doing it right, that's why it won't work", I bit the bullet and got the dongle...
Works now, after some hair pulling and experimentation as I was rooted....
I even have an ES8000 model from this year and I can't get it to work. Hopefully Miracast will solve the issue if Samsung doesn't fix it on their own.

So if I want to see everithing that goes on on the tablet screen on my tv (xda for example) I need to by a dongle, but if I only want to see the movies or foto or music on the tv I don't need the dongle. I can send movies on the tv screen but I'm not able to mirror everything.

In theory, yes... In practice....?
So just an update on this on my original question. Just got a new LG 8600 Smart TV, and I guess it supports Allshare (or whatever protocol the tablet uses). I started playing a movie, hit the send to TV button and it worked on my LG. it took a little longer to load then the Samsung TV, but it worked fine.
Hi, allshare is different to allshare cast. Allshare sends your movie to the TV as data, the tv then decodes this data and actually plays the movie itself, this is done using DLNA and so any DLNA tv will work with allshare, not just sammsung TV's.
Allshare cast is a different animal altogether, its part of the miracast protocol and simply sends the picture from the phone to the TV, the decoding is done by the phone, the TV simply mirrors the video and audio. Currently the only way to get this to work is to buy the samsung allshare cast dongle. To use this simply plug it into your TV HDMI port and turn on Allshare cast option on your phone.

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.
Hi. I just bought the micro HDMI to HDMI cable to connect my Xoom with my TV (Sony Bravia KDL-32V4000)
Is working on 720p / 60 but looks like is zoomed on TV.
On the same TV I have also 2 HDMI with xbox 360 connected and MPEG4. Everything just work on others HDMI except this of Xoom.
Somewhere I read that I must find over scanning and turn it off but no such option or Screen Fit on my TV.
Is CM 10.1 bug or my TV needs properly settings? How to fix the problem?
Any help?

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.

Hello.
I have NVIDIA SHIELD K1 tablet and Sony KD-55S8505C TV (with Android TV on-board). I wanted to play some games within streaming feature. It works fine, but the problem is when I want to use HDMI to display the image on my TV. Once I connect the HDMI-miniHDMI cable, nothing happens... I tried to manually change the display mode to console, but I'm getting a message that HDMI is not connected.
After this I tried the HDMI with other TV and it works correctly. But my Sony is a new one, all HDMIs work fine (I tried them with Blu-ray player and my laptop).
I also tried restarting my tablet and TV many times (I found out it helps sometimes for ppl).
Is there any other thing I can check? No idea what to do.

Did you ever solve the problem? Mirror mode worked on one of my TVs but not another TV.
Yes. There was a problem with my TV's HDMI ports. Something on motherrboard was broken. I sent it to Sony service and they repaired everything. It has worked like a charm since the first use.

Console mode works but not mirror mode so HDMI port is fine.
To me it is happening that my nvidia shield tablet does not recognize when I connect the HDMI. I did a hard reset and everything works perfect again, but after a few days, unchanged nothing stops working again. I did the test with different cables, different adapters HDMI-MiniHDMI and with different screens but I always have the same result unless I make a factory reset again.
Maybe some app, update interferes with HDMI..
Deactivate auto updates in Play store and for Nvidia.
Has anyone found a way to screen cast? I've seen and tried a build prop edit that at least allows cast to recognize TV but won't actually allow the screen cast to "beam" the display over. I've read android took away the native functionality at some point, but my HTC 10 worked fine. Any thoughts?

I'm running stock rooted and I can cast just fine to my Sony tv or to my apple tv just by selecting it from the devices shown without any build.prop edits.

Casting works fine for me too.
Doesnt work when using an app that prohibts it like NFL app or MLB app.
Is that what you are asking to cast?
I just go to Settings->Display->Cast.
I have tried this on stock/pureNexus/rooted/unrooted.
I have a Sony TV. Runs some version on Android.
Be on the same Wi-Fi?
I don't know what else to say.

Nope, just straight up mirror my phone screen. Never had issues with it before on any phone I tried...My son's iPhone and wife's new G6 both do it. And funny you should mention NFL Mobile, that is how I watched games on the road to n a hotel, mirroring to hotel room TV.
Edit...My bust after thinking about, it was DirecTV/Sunday ticket, never tried the NFL Mobile app.
I just tried to cast the phone's screen to my Smart TV(Sony) - didn't work.
Here are the steps I take when trying to connect Pixel phone:
-Go to WiFi Direct settings on the phone
-Put TV in screen mirror mode(input)
-TV's name/model appears on the pixel phone
-Tapping on the above name/model, just says "Invited"
-On TV's screen, under devices nothing comes up
-If I go to settings>display>cast on the pixel, there is nothing in the list. On Nexus 7 I was able to select "enable wireless display" in the menu.
I took the same steps in the past with my Nexus 7 (2013) tablet and it works properly. As a matter of fact I still have my tablet and tested just now - works fine. I believe Pixel either missing the feature or has a support for a different mirroring mode which my TV isn't compatible with. I do know that my TV works with Miracast.
I just found this tread...which seems to point out that Google possibly removed the feature.
