Allshare cast dongle unable to connect - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

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.

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

Probably broadcasting on a channel which Android has disabled for your country. Switch to a channel between 1 and 12 on your router, may need to take off auto. An app like Wifi Analyzer should be able to see the network no problems.
Its on channel 11. My old was on 11 too but it worked...

Make sure you have set your router to use the 2.4GHz band, not 5GHz.
It is set to 2.4 ghz and wifi analyzer cant see it

Be sure your router was configured to WPA/WPA2 security,not WEP,and that the router is visible (Wireless SSID : ON) .

[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...

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.

[Q] WIFI ISSUE SCH-i705 (Galaxy tab 2 7.0)

Would anyone know why my WIFI works perfect when Bluetooth is not on, then WIFI gets authentication errors when Bluetooth is turned on? Soon as I turn off Bluetooth WIFI works again when I reconnect to network. Thanks.
I've not noticed anything on mine. Have you done anything to it such as root/unlock/cwm/ROM?
Its unlocked, with CWM and doubleshot 1.5, but unfortunately I cant remember if it was doing it when it was stock.
Have you tried factory reset? Even reflashing the ROM? I just tested it on mine and it works fine. If not, you may have some bad hardware.
I just tested BT and Wifi on mine with 0 issues. Paired it with my s3 with wifi browsing a few websites and it didn't break.
Tried reflashing, ended up returning it. Thanks for quick reply and help. New one works perfect.
I messed up and didn't unlock the boot loader... Should I wait for stock firm ware or take it back to Verizon... And if so what should I say

[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.

Galaxy S4 and TF700 Bluetooth

I've never been able to get my S4 to connect to my TF700, has anyone else been able to? I can get them to pair, but nothing happens when I press connect. It just tells me I have to connect option again.
It's been like this even when both devices were on stock ROMs.
My S4 is currently connected to my Galaxy Gear with no issues.
Anyone got an idea what I can do?
