Verizon S3: Does MHL work for all ROMs? - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

I've searched, and found decent hits, but I have not found anything recent telling whether or not my S3 can output via MHL to HDMI.
I have an aftermarket dock that is "supposed" to work with the S3, but so far, nothing. The screen blanks when I plug in, but no video appears. So, the monitor is getting some kind of input, but not the correct input. Are there specific ROMs these days (late 2013) that specifically DO or DO NOT offer MHL capability? Are they 4.2.1, 4.2.2 or 4.3 specific? As I type this, I am installing CleanROM. I tried HALO (non TW), and BoneStock but no joy. I read on several posts that TouchWiz is needed so I am concentrating on that for now.
Thank you!

Found my answer. My dock was defective! CleanROM works great and I suspect the others may too. When I get the new dock, I'll try them out.

Sorry to revive an old thread, but adapter are you using? Does it still work? I'm currently searching for an adapter for my S3.

The dock does not work for the S3. The retail dock does of course. I've since swapped phones to a Note 3 and that one DOES work with the dock. I know you can use the red MHL cable with the S3 successfully., if that helps.

Same here, ordered on Ebay (US) and delivered in France. Works fine, even better if you have the desk clok app from "vanilla" Android.
I am running Froyo but haven't had time to test the audio yet.

Bluetooth Keyboard?

Hi, I'm looking for a good Bluetooth keyboard, that is the same size as the phone, or slightly smaller. I do not want a big, full sized, foldable one, because it doesn't fit my uses. Thanks in advance.

If you find out about one let me know as I could also use one since I can not find a nice controlder that is cheapish to play with it.
I was thinking about ordering GSI Super-Quality Wireless Mini Bluetooth Keyboard . I am just not sure if it would work since there are issuse I know with the wii remotes working.
On the Zuse Rom.
Hmm... why not just get a better keyboard app for your phone.... Try out swiftkeyx and then keep on your hunt after a week of using it if you still feel it necessary. Rather spend 3.99 than 39.99 + shipping.

most bt keyboards work. the game controllers are usually a problem. depends on the protocol it uses but the information on that is hard to find.
I did order it for $15 and am now waiting for it to come in. I will let you know then if it works.
I went ahead and bought one. (I'd post a link to the one I purchased, but I don't have enough posts here )
I could only get it to pair on my Infuse, it would not connect on any of the roms I tried(Zeus, CM7, and stock UCLB1). Yep, not even the stock rom worked. I did get it to connect on my Le Pan TC970, but it would not type, or respond, to any keypress I made, and eventually my Tablet would just crash, reboot, and bootloop. I hope someone finds a working BT keyboard, I still would really like one. Hope this helps with other peoples purchases.
EDIT: It works with my iPhone 3GS.
EDIT2: I got it to work on miui 2.2.17, so far that's the only rom that I have found that the keyboard works on. Also, it works on my stock le pan, but not when on cm7.

There is always room to improve on perfection!!! Perfection only opens the door to defaults!
I got the keyboard and while it would pair it does not seem to work with the phone nomatter what I do.

I'm sorry it took so long, but I cannot test stock froyo. My backup does not work, and I would rather not flash, yet again, with Odin, unless I must. If I could be directed to a cwm flashable stock froyo rom, or if, and when, I need to flash with Odin, I will test it.

Which Verizon roms work with the Allshare Cast dongle

So far I've had no success with Synergy R73, JellyWiz, or stock odexed roms. I used Triangle Away with all of them, but no go. Synergy R73 (ICS) and stock ICS will connect via "Wifi Direct" in the settings, but the necessary "Allshare Cast" in the settings is missing, so even though I'm technically connected, nothing happens on the TV screen. JellyWiz has Allshare Cast in the settings, but it won't even recognize the dongle when it scans for it.
Has anyone with a Verizon SG3 gotten the dongle to work? If so, what rom and what's the secret?
Got a bit closer with Synergy JB Beta. It will recognize the dongle and connect, but always disconnects 10 seconds later. Frustrating that they're now selling an $80 device that doesn't seem to work with Verizon roms, but is marketed as working on the Verizon SG3.

I'm in the same boat. I can't find a VZW ROM that works. Jellywiz latest connects but disconnects in 10 secs. What us up with VZW siii that it would not be available? Might this have anything to do with VZW locking down the boot loader? Also based on the product availability it says it only works for sprint and t mobile versions not art or Verizon. Odd.
I was going to purchase this device, but instead opted not to because I wasn't sure if it would work with our vzw gs3. Interestingly though, on Samsung's website it indicates:
== ==
AllShare Cast Wireless Hub
**Compatible with the Samsung Galaxy S III (T-Mobile and Sprint), Galaxy Note II and Galaxy Note 10.1.
Compatibility may require the latest software update. To verify your device is compatible go into Wireless and Network Settings and verify that AllShare Cast is present in your menu options.
== ==
I don't see that option under my 'wireless and network settings'.
Like you, I wonder why not? This is really mind boggling.
*Hmmmmm*

Tried it on 7 roms so far. Stock rom is ICS, which doesn't have Allshare Cast in Settings, so that's a no go.
Has anyone had any luck with this? I also just purchased the dongle but am wondering if I should return it unopened.
Just for kicks I contacted Samsung support to see if they have any plans to support AllShare Cast in future updates. It does not appear to be so. Here is a transcript of the conversation.
Gary S: Hi, thank you for contacting Samsung Technical Support. How may I help you today?
Visitor: Hi, I was wondering if there are plans to have support for AllShare Cast on the Verizon Galaxy S3?
Gary S: May I place you on hold for 3 minutes while I work in this regards?
Visitor: sure
Gary S: Thank you for waiting. I'll be with you in just a moment.
Visitor: no problem
Gary S: I will be right with you.
Gary S: Thank you for being on hold.
Gary S: I'm sorry for the delay.
Visitor: no problem
Gary S: We do not support AllShare Cast.
Gary S: We only support AllShare feature on the device.
Visitor: So there are no plans to make it available like it is on the other S3 models?
Gary S: Yes.
Visitor: I know it is not currently supported, am wondering if it will ever be. I just purchased the AllShare Cast dongle and will need to return it if so
Gary S: I'm sorry about that,
Visitor: ok thank you
Gary S: You're welcome. Is there anything else I can assist you with?
Visitor: No that's it thank you
Gary S: I wish, I could have helped you in this regard. I'm sorry about that.
Visitor: That's ok, you answered the question. That's the best that could be done!

I just grabbed one of these AllShare Cast dongles last night on the Sammy website for 50% off deal...And I, too, have a VZW GS3, currently running Synergy...
So, still a no-go for everyone? Hopefully, soon, one of the mighty mighty devs around here will work it out!
(Fingers crossed)
What exactly is All-Share cast compared to All Share play? I have a WDTV Live device hooked up to my TV and when I'm connected to my home wifi I can stream anything on my GS3 to my WDTV.
For those that are able to connect and then drops out. If you have lockscreen unlock toggle set to unlock. Keeps lock screen disabled when screen off. Don't know if it works for Share Cast but does keep tether running full speed. When lock screen locks drops tether speed from 600kb/s to 10 kb/s. Would do same to Share Cast.

I believe, (someone correct me if I'm wrong) that Allshare Play uses the DLNA standard to share media over wi-fi whereas Allshare Cast uses wi-fi direct so it doesn't need to be connected to a wi-fi network and can basically mirror whatever is on your devices screen.
I noticed that the release notes for the new Sprint JB OTA mention Allshare Cast. I'm wondering if it will work for us if/when the devs port it. I'm going to hold out returning mine for now as I'm hopeful one of these awesome devs will figure it out.

Allshare cast is jellybean feature. Allshare cast is miracast. U ether need the Allshare cast dongle or widi 3.5 device. (Widi 3.5 now supports miracast) Allshare cast is WiFi alliance miracast certified. The only phones out now that is miracast capable is s3, note II, and the LG optimus G. If you already have a miracast capable tv like certain Samsungs wifi tv with miracast built in which they call Allshare cast than u use it without the Allshare cast dongle. Samsung dongle, built in miracast tv or widi 3.5 device will work

AllShare Cast works on the new leaked Verizon JB ROM!
If you have any issues getting it to work, use Triangle Away to reset your flash counter, reboot then profit.

I was using Jellywiz RLS11 and yes I'm leaving it rooted. I am however having mixed results now. It worked great the other night, but now it's hit or miss. I'm not sure if the issue is with the ROM or the dongle.
I'll try to play around with it some more and see if there was anything particular that made it work. It doesn't appear to be so though... seems pretty random at this point.
---------- Post added at 07:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:50 PM ----------
Some more specifics:
The dongle and the phone are able to find each other no problem. They begin to connect and the phone will actually indicate that the connection is made. The dongle however will continue to indicate that it is connecting for a few more seconds. At this point it will either display my screen or fail altogether. If it fails the dongle will stop connecting and the phone will pop-up the message, "Current AllShare Cast connection will end".
I've noticed that it is more likely to succeed if I try it immediately after rebooting my phone, but that isn't a guarantee it will work either.
I was able to get the dongle to work today on synergy 4.1.1 r90...
But it was kinda finicky...I did have to reboot once due to that disconnecting message, but then worked again...

Just sent you a pm. I bought the Dongle today and I'm trying to avoid returning it. Did you use triangle away to get it to work? Also can you let us know exact steps? I'm on r90 synergy and it's not working for me.
Edit::: after some digging around I was able to connect to the Samsung allshare cast dongle on synergy r90. It wasn't connecting at first so I did some reading and decided to download triangle away and hit reset flash counter. I did that and tried connecting to the dongle and was able to connect quickly and watched a YouTube vid as well as browse the Web and mess around with some settings with no issues. Thank you to greevedog who verified it worked for him.
I have a pioneer appradio 2 that I'm going to try this out on cause I keep having major snow issues with the mhl adapter 5 pin to 11 from Samsung. Hopefully it does the trick and audio doesn't sound too bad.

I'm glad you guys are able to get it to work. I'm still having no success at all, despite Triangle Away. Currently on Synergy R90 and continue to have it disconnect after trying to connect. Would those who have it working please post the firmware version of your dongle (it shows on the TV screen before you connect). Does anyone know if there's even a way to update the dongle's firmware?
Got it to work finally! The key for me seems to be rebooting the phone and dongle at same time. Reset button didn't cut it on dongle--had to unplug it and plug back in. Hopefully future updates will improve connection reliability, but nice to have it working.Once connected, it seems to stay that way and works well for everything except action games. There's a little too much lag for those.

which tab are you considering buying?. the wifi's only, well, you already know the answer. the ones you can make a call with which I am assuming are the one you are asking about can be used as a hotspot as per several verizon youtube video.
USB OTG is USB on the go. The ability to plug a USB flash drive or external hard drive in via a special cable.

The verizon tab 2 7.0 cannot make phone calls, I wish!
As far as OTG goes, I'm not sure. I'm sure Verizon would know the answer, maybe.. I'd like to this too so if you find out let us know :good:
In /mnt there are several mount pointes:
/mnt/UsbDriveA through /mnt/UsbDriveF, if that makes a difference.

Verizon has no idea, neither does samsung. They act like I'm speaking chinese when I ask them. My company is considering buying all the field techs a tablet for work, but i has to have USB OTG, so I'm going to go to the VZW store tomorrow and try out a tab 2 10.1 and see if it recongnize it.
PS my xoom will, with the "stock" 4.0.4 firmware, however i has to be rooted and use "stickmount" by chainfire to get it to work.
This would seems to suggest it would, however the adapter doesn't mention the tab 2, only the tabs
http://www.amazon.com/OEM-Connection-Reader-SAMSUNG-GALAXY/dp/B006DQWIKK
If the tab 10.1 can support it I'm going to guess the tab 2 can as well. They only cost $2 so I may grab one myself, if it doesn't work I didn't lose anything

I know this is in the wrong section, but I couldn't find a section for the Memo Pad Smart 10 so I'm asking here as the TF300 seems to have almost identical specs.
First off, I only needed a light duty tablet, I have a GNoteII for my phone so I'm not in need of an expensive powerhouse of a tablet as I only wanted a larger screen for some traveling stuff and what not.
But I would like to be able to root and unlock the bootloader on my new tablet once I get it. But I wasn't sure if there was such a thing already in the works, where I could look for it if it is, or if I could somehow help out by providing data from the device when it arrives at my house tomorrow.
If any Dev's out there wanted info from me I'd be happy to help out as much as I can. I'm by no means capable of doing it myself, but I know how ADB works and such so I would be willing to help.
TIA.
