Allshare cast dongle unable to connect

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

I use HDMI with Samsung's connector. They have an over rhe air device but reviews are mixed. I will eventually get it to see. But hdmi works flawless. I get to use my plasma as a big screen the type & images are super crisp. I put my tablet on a tripod and use the touch screen as a remote controller.

I have the Allshare Cast Dongle and it goes fine. I use it with my N8000, S4 and Note 2.

Chromecast only works with certain apps. It's not a true miracast.

I bought a cheap rockchip miracast dongle off aliexpress, I will do a short review when it arrives. I'm not even sure if miracast function works but at least it has dlna.

Chromecast is great for the computer as you can mirror the entire screen, but it only works with certain applications on the phone atm.

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!

Ty bro

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.

so, theres no way on kitkat?

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!

screen mirror fail note 3
Patch says not needed. Used to mirror from note 3 to tv thru my Sony BDP s3200 but quit after note 3 android update. BS. What to do? It was so clean and NO LAG AT ALL. PISSED

[Q]Bluetooth popping/clicking

I want to love this phone but I am having difficulty for one reason: Bluetooth issues.
So I have a Note 3, my wife has an S4, a friend has an S5. 2 I know have the M8. I loved the Note 3 but Kit Kat has killed it until I can root it at least.
Anyway, all of these phones work flawlessly streaming bluetooth music to my car EXCEPT the M8. I had a Rezound for 5 minutes and it had the same issue. It is just this annoying clicking sound that is similar but worse than the stock camera click.It happens about every 10 seconds on the dot. I drive a 2011 Kia Optima LX (daddy car, ha). I know it isn't boom sound because that isn't enabled over bluetooth. I tried playing with max volume, low volume, mid volume. I tried a 3rd party equalizer. I tried streaming music, youtube videos/music, local files...all the same clicking. ALL HTC phones I have tried have the same issue! I I have no idea what to try. I also tried turning NFC off...wifi off. Driving out into the middle of nowhere to make sure there is no interference. This does not happen through the speakers or headphones. Only Bluetooth. I am at wits end!
I really would hate to return this over that issue, but I will. I want to love it - but something like this is annoying enough to make me hate it. Does anyone have any ideas as to what I cold do to fix this?
Thanks for any information.

I have the same problem with Pandora over Bluetooth in a Chevy Equinox and on my Beats Box portable. This did Not happen with my HTC Rezound. Does anyone have a fix for this ? Just makes me want to explode !

Last night I tested the Jaybird Bluebuds X and they have the same issue.
Another good question would be: If you have experienced this and rooted - did root fix it?

Hmm weird I have the same jaybirds and no problem here

Hmm. Well that's interesting. Maybe I just got a dud this round. Do you happen to have a car bluetooth that streams media?

FWIW I have horrendous issues with the HTC m8 and the A2DP BT Audio Streaming in my car where in the past my S3 and S4 had 0 issues what so ever.
In some cases it won't pair consistently and other times even when it is paired, I can't control the app to play/advance tracks. I hope/expect HTC is aware of this and is working on a resolution.

Last question, have you tried using google play music at the highest quality setting? After further research - I believe this is directly related to the known issue with FLAC files. HQ Play Music will stream FLAC depending on the artist. I would be interested as to if you have tried that at all and if it exists on viper rom.
I was able to repro the issue on multiple devices and that enabled me to narrow the device itself out. That's kind of good/bad news, haha. Google has a fix but it did not make the cut for 4.4.2 - so I am curious as to if some of the leaked stuff has the fix or not. Trial and error will likely be the only way to know. http://www.androidpolice.com/2014/0...nd-stuttering-on-android-4-4-a-fix-is-coming/ describes the issue to a T.

Question on connectivity

I'm looking at taking the dive and getting this watch but before I do I have a question. At work I listen to music of my phone on a bluetooth speaker. Will the watch and speaker connect to my phone at the same time. I would like to monitor my notifications with out taking my phone all over my shop.

It works for me. I have the S2 3G with a Note 4 and several different Bluetooth speakers that I listen to almost daily. The watch stays connected to phone audio and the speakers get the media audio.

Connecting the S2 3G watch and a Bose BT speaker via the phone's BT at the same time works great for me.

Thanks for the replies. Looks like my gift to me.
