Output Video to TV

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.

[Q] AllShare Cast - Noob question

I have a Galaxy S3 and Galaxy Note 10.1, I am trying to use the AllShare Cast option betwen them, is it posible? or is only posible if I get the dongle? if it is posible, is there any guide or video I can refer to, to make it work? sorry for bad english and sorry if it repost, could not find thread about it

Dongle is only for tv's build before 2010/2011.

You also don't need a dongle if the device you're sending to supports DLNA. When I'm watching a video in the same room as my Sony Google TV an icon appears in the stock video player that when selected shifts video playback to it.

I ordered one from amazon, but probaly won't come til october, since it says ships 1-3 months, but no worries, Will let people know how it works when I get it

I don't need the dongle for mirroring my note 10.1 on the SGS3 and vice versa! Thats what allshare play/group cast is for. You need it for mirroring galaxy devices on your TV if you have no smart TV.

thanks. I try it and it didn't worked, it get stuck at search, i try with both devices, I try the allshare play and i am not able to join an allshare play - group cast. i dont think i can join an all share cast to mirror the screen.
any ideas why?

I have a D8000 LED LCD and can whip videos back and forth between devices, its pretty much awesome.

As far as I've checked you can mirror files and pics on both devices, you draw on one device and it mirrors on the other(both devices need to be connected to the same network). As for a complete mirror of the screen like with a smart tv or the dongle I've never tried this to accomplish with note and the sgs3, only with note -> tv an sgs3->tv this I can confirm works well.
Playing movies, pictures and songs on the tv, this is even possible witv my old sgs and a b7000 tv using allshare.

No for mirroring. This is the stock video player while playing to an external device. The Note will also sleep while playing externally to conserve battery. For this pic, the Note is outputting to my Google TV via DLNA. It behaves the same way when connected to my HTC dongle.

Are both devices registered to the same samsung account in the play app? And both connected to the same network (one 2,4 GHz and the other 5GHz is not working)?

I am having the same problem. Does any one have a solution for this? I'm on the same network and it just says searching, no matter which device I try.

5ghz and 2,4 ghz do not work so you have to be either on 2,4 or 5 with both devices. It's not working if one device only connected to wifi an the other still on 3G or LTE. Also both have be logged in the SAME samsung account to see them as registered devices in the allshare play app. You start on your device and join on the other with join group cast(in the settings in allshare play app).. Works like a charm for me.

Both devices are on the same network and are logged into the same account. The only thing I'm not sure how to check is if they are both on 5 or 2.4 ghz. How do I do that?

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)

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!!!!!

[Q] gettung allshare donglw to work

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

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.

kitkat screen mirroring fixed the easy way

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!

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.

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!
