S2 LTE & Skype

Does Skype video work on the S2 LTE? I didn't find anything on here, but from what I've searched on Google, it doesn't seem to work for a number of people. What's the verdict here? Anyone on here that uses it themselves? Help is much appreciated. Thanks.

Skype works fine for me. The wifey sometimes will hop on my transformer while I'm at work and we'll have ourselves a video chat.

Works fine for me. I've only done it to a computer though, not another phone.

Thanks guys. But has anyone done from phone to phone? Or even more specifically, from the SGS2 to an iPhone 4?

Yes I routinely Skype to my family in the UK and they use the iPhone4. We have no issues at all, it works great!

My camera will not make the switch when I go to landscape. When I do I look like I am walking on the wall

How did you guys get the video to work. I tried Skype to a computer and no video just audio. Didnt even find how to turn on the camera.

Make sure you have video enabled in skype settings. The skyrocket isn't officially supported so you have to check the option to turn it on.

My brother and I both got skyrockets on the same day. Skype was one of the things we tested first. From skyrocket to skyrocket it works great.

I've tested between S2 LTE and iPhone 4 and it works fine. Quality isn't top notch, but it does warn you before hand that Skype isn't certified to work on the device, whatever that might mean.

[Q] does tf201 GPS dongle work with infinity?

Haven't been able to find anything out about this. Anyone know if it works? Do you even need it? I get my infinity in this week so haven't tried it yet.

Don't need it. The GPS works fine on the TF700.

I tried j-j-jamming it in but it doesn't fit. On another note, the internal GPS works fine.

+1, works beautifully.

If the first 3 answers didn't do it for you, you don't need it. Internal is fine. Attached ss is inside the middle of my house in a bad storm. No dongle because its charging.

I got rid of that dongle awhile back. Internal GPS is perfect.

gps1 jpg is outside, gps2 is inside, a few seconds later. Notice it locked onto a couple of new sat's as I walked into the house, but the signal was weaker. I'd say donate the dongle to a TF201 user.

[Guide] AllShare Cast Dongle Update

Just updated to the LJ02 firmware on my AllShare Cast Dongle and have noticed a few improvements
Video and Audio quality are noticeably improved
I no longer have to reset the dongle in order to re-connect. However I still have to reboot the phone before connecting.
I have not tested this myself, but according to Steve Kondik (Cyanogen), the update makes the dongle compatible with 4.2 miracast.
Only negative is that I feel like there might be a slight increase in lag.
Here are the steps to update the firmware on your AllShare Cast Dongle.
To install this update you're phone must be running a TouchWiz ROM with AllShare Cast. It appears that Verizon is blocking the update (of course) so you will need to follow either of the following to update.
You can download the AllShare Cast update apk.
OR
You can modify your build.prop. I set mine to the Sprint S3 and it worked no problem.
Modifying your build.prop requires root access. As always, I recommend running a Nandroid backup of your system partition before modifying your build.prop.
And of course, I'm not responsible for any damage you do to your phone/dongle from following my guide.
Backup your build.prop file (system/build.prop).
Modify your build.prop to the below values (I use build.prop editor)
ro.product.model=SPH-L710
ro.product.name=d2spr
ro.product.device=d2spr​
Reboot your device
Download the AllShare Cast update from the Google Play store.
Connect your phone to your AllShare Cast Dongle and accept that you wish to install the update.
Restore your build.prop file or manually set it to the following:
ro.product.model=SCH-I535
ro.product.name=d2vzw
ro.product.device=d2vzw​
You may need to reboot your phone in order to connect to the dongle after the update installs.
I hope this helps somebody out there. Good luck and enjoy your new firmware!

just uploaded the update without changing my bulid.prop but i would be surprised if verizon was blocking it..... they block everything!!!!!
second that you were right it was the allshare cast update not the dongle update what!!!! the hell why is verizon blocking this...

Do people like this more than the MHL adaptor? Going to buy one of them tonight.

Yeah, it doesn't make sense to me either. It probably has something to do with their approval process is my guess.

Up to this point I think the attitude has been more "wait-and-see" with Miracast. It still is a little buggy, but I am really liking it so far. Being able to watch content on my TV from my phone without wires is a real game changer imo. For example, a couple weeks back my wife and I wanted to watch Lord of the Rings in order to get psyched up for The Hobbit. I have all three movies on my PC, so I was able to stream them to my phone via DLNA and watch them on the TV with AllShare Cast. It was a real round-about way to watch them, but it worked great!

I like that. Flickering on the MHL is a no-go for me. We'll see what I go with.

Any chance someone could rip the Allshare S/W Update APK and post it? Want to try running it from the Nexus 4 but not able to get it from the market.

can someone please post the the file I can't download it all. I need the .apk

I will try to do this, but it is likely I won't be able to get to it for a few days.

Edit: Never mind that. I was able to pull it out and upload it to my Dropbox. Let me know if you are unable to download. I'll update the OP with the link as well.

Is there any way to run this using a Nexus 4 or Nexus 7?

As far as I know, there is no way to do this. You will need a Samsung device that has AllShare Cast.

Only downside is streaming video from xfinity, and HBO GO, and and Netflix is out of sync. Using the MHL adapter works best. The only good thing I found the hub was good for was movies already on my phone. At least those movies sync.

I noticed that also.... But on my phone when I plug in the mhl adapter xfinity the doesn't work.....

Pandora info not displayed....Mazda 3

When I connect my phone via bluetooth or aux no Pandora information is displayed on the dash, Google music displays information fine. I remember running across a thread one time where there was a possible fix if you were rooted...at the time I read the thread I wasn't rooted so I didn't pay much attention....now I am rooted, running cleanrom. Any ideas? It's not a huge deal but it sure would be nice if it worked.

Well aux isn't a type of connection to display information like that. I'm rooted running clean rom and pandora displays just fine on my pioneer lcd screen in my car via bluetooth. So it use to work but doesn't anymore after having rooted and running clean rom?

It's never worked. I've Googled a bit and read some threads on it working with CM 10 (other phones) so it's obviously a file or setting somewhere.....this is the kind of little tiny thing that can give me ocd

No I understand lol You're sure that you car is capable of displaying pandora information? Have you tried with another phone? It's working me but not sure. Is there any settings in the car?

I have no idea if works with another phone. The car as far as I know does not have any "advanced" bluetooth settings but I could be wrong. I have no idea if it's capable of displaying Pandora info but it was built in 2013 so I would hope it is. I will check with the dealership but I don't see why G Music would work but Pandora would not.

My 2012 Jetta has never displayed Pandora music info on the screen. I've used a droid RAZR, HTC rezound and my gs3. But my friends iPhone 4 does display the info in my car. So I'm assuming its an android issue not a specific ROM issue.

In doing a bit of googling, the Pandora android app doesn't have AVRCP metadata support...meaning it doesn't send the info to be displayed. However some one has a github showing how to alter the Pandora app so it will.
On the bottom of the first post in this Honda Civic forum (sorry) http://www.9thgencivic.com/forum/au...-support-android-album-track-information.html the OP posted an altered Pandora that will stream data. Try it.
Oh yeah, CM has yet to merge the Bluetooth AVRCP 1.3 (and it may be quite a while, so I've read). So even if you do download the modded Pandora, it won't work with CM. And that applies to any rom that uses CM as a base.

That works! Unfortunately I don't think I can handle the ads... Thanks for your post!

I display Pandora on my pioneer LCD head unit just fine with the stock Pandora app from the market. So it does work but maybe your car is different.

[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.
