mirror phone to chromecast - General Topics

Has anybody found a way to mirror google browser from samsung galaxy s3 to google chromecast?

Sad fact, that Miracasts isnt implemented anywhere although every wifi-direct able device should be able to use Miracast. (Im hoping for XBMC)

[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 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.

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.

[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!

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.

Miracast / Allshare Cast

Hello,
Does someone know if it is possible to mirror my phones screen to my TV ?
Its a Samsung UE40F6400
It had WiFi, and its a smart TV.
When i duplicate screen under Display its connected, and then my TV says connection is stopped.
Running stock rom, Faux kernel 03B06
Anyone?
Same thing happens to me. I have a Sony Smart tv with miracast but I can't get my Nexus 5 or my Galaxy S3 to mirror. I'm getting frustrated.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Miracast is absolute utter garbage technology. Its seriously one of the ****tiest standards ever to grace mobile computing, mostly because there just is no standard. It can work with one device and then not work with another, even though everything is miracast enabled. Its probably not worth your time trying to figure out, because even when you do its frustratingly awful sometimes. I got it working finally on my nexus 4 and 7, but even when the phone or tablet was within a foot of the damn miracast receiver it would still lag and lose connection while playing video.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app
Its not that bad. with the latest drivers its actually pretty stable with everything I have thrown at it. note 8, yoga2, venue 8 pro, nexus 5 and gs4.
to answer the op samsung makes it so only samsung devices can mirror with their tvs. hopefully they change this soon but until then you need to buy a ptv3000 or similar.
What does it check, could it work if i change build.prop or something else?
Any developer know how to get allshare on Nexus 5?
Or how to fake my phone to connect it to the TV with wirekess display?
Still looking.
Anyone ?

My N5 miracasts perfectly with my Sony smart TV (Except sometimes it lags or freezes and I have to reconnect) but I do have to go into the specific 'Screen Mirror' input channel.
Have you tried going into the specific source for Mirroring? Not sure if this will be applicable to Samsung TV's though.

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!

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.
