Allshare - selected apps or true mirror, wifi or direct?

In my endlessly circular deliberations between Note 10.1 and Nexus 10 I am now focussing on streaming to TV.
Can anyone answer whether the Allshare adaptor for TV
a Works with the Note 10.1
b Mirrors the screen exactly or only streams selected content (video/music/photos etc)
c Requires a Wifi connection as well as an HDMI and separate power source
Many thanks

a. Yes
b. Yes
c. no yes yes

Excellent, that may have swung it, as rumours seem to indicate that N10 miracast support is not functioning, despite being capable.
I looked at ipad/Airplay but that's over Wifi which means it's largely non-portable.
Thank you

I very much enjoy my allshare. Plus after registering with samsung, they gave me 50% off, so that was nice, getting the adapter for only 50 bucks!
When watching netflix, youtube, or hulu, it will put the video on the tv and you can use the seek function on the note. Also, with the youtube app, you can have the video play in full screen on the tv and do limited browsing on the note, like the related to videos and stuff like that while you are finishing up your current video. I haven't noticed much out of sync with the videos, I think that mostly has to do the my internets at the time because I have had the same kind of issues using hdmi and my laptop. It is soooo much nicer not having any wires to mess with, just connect on demand. It makes this by far the coolest thing, plus the ir transmitter so you can do everything on the note.
One thing I did have to do, after doing a lot of flashing and changing a lot of stuff, not sure if you would be doing the same, but I had to use triangle away to reset my flash count to get it to work, most other people never have to do that, but for whatever resaon that is the only way I got it to work for me

Great. I probably won't root yet anyway. Unless it is required for all share.
I'm going to wait until the official jb update then root after that.
Swype'd at pace from my Galaxy S2

does the Allshare dongle Support Miracast ? possible to connect via Nexus 7/10 to that dongle? or via Windows WiFi direct+special Tool?
kinda sad that the dongle needa external Power And is huge. But Else cool stuff.

If you are referring to the wireless adapter, it works very well and works with hbo go and YouTube. It works well enough that I just went and bought this tablet due to the fact that I used it with my sgs3.

[q] mk809iii

mk809III
so I purchased one of these with great expectations, hoping to bring YouTube to my TV. I found myself very disappointed with this things ability to stream YouTube videos. it is pretty much useless. I have a roku on the same TV, roku does not have a you tube app available which was my main reason for the mk809III purchase. I had found a work around to bring YouTube to my roku but had to jump thru some hoops to get it work which required me to download the app twonky beam to roku and to my phone. I had to play YouTube on my phone and beam IT to my roku thru my wifi but it playes the videos flawlessly without ever buffering. so my question is how come this quad core mini android TV PC spends most of its time buffering a video? it's also very slow downloading apps aswell, any suggestions?

it probably has a poor wifi signal, i have heard that some sticks have this issue which is why im going to buy a Box instead for ethernet, i have heard some people took apart their Sticks and they cut out a hole where the wifi antenna is at and their signal was increased.

That sucks! not the answer I was looking for. I would figure that would void the warranty. I have a roku right next to it that streams all sorts of programming flawlessly.

So im going to experiment with this thing and use it as a learning experience. Id like to try a different os. Is there a way to backup the original os of this thing?

Anyone have any luck screen mirroring?

I know it doesnt support mhl, i havent been able to find any miracast dongle that works, only hope i think is a samsung smart tv, has anyone got this to work with a specific model, i think some have got it to work with chromecast to some degree but i dont have wifi, thanks.

Tried it yesterday with my samsung smart tv.... played a video. The video played for about 10 seconds before timing out with a "network error"....
Basically worked about as much as the S5 did.... shoddy. And just to clarify my wifi setup is an N setup and have had no issues whatsoever network-wise.

Thanks twisted, i dont get that, im sure like you said it has nothing to do with your network, i thought the whole point of the quick connect feature was you didnt need to be connected to your home wifi for this to work, or am i mistaken? Ive tried emailing samsung support multiple times to get some kind of clarification, but they are useless.

No the idea is your smart tv and phone must be connected to the same wifi network.... regardless i don't expect this mirroring to work... tried just now... all i got was a garbled screen lol.

my screen mirroring works fine on my Samsung UN65F6400AFXZC. on tv click on screen mirroring input , then on phone quick connect and then connect to screen mirroring , watched a few music vids I have on the phone , flipped through pictures from the gallery , home screen and screen rotation all work fine. a slight delay from phone to tv but that's normal.
all working fine here , stock unrooted

Works a treat on my LG smart TV too. It did ask to allow connections from the s6 once but after that it connects without issue.

Thats interesting, ive been to best buy and asked them to give a demonstration and they said it wouldnt work until their tvs firmware was updated, im assuming its just hit or miss then, can i ask what model number LG you have

Haven't tried on the s6 but it would work with no issue on my note 4 and fire tv

Works very smooth with a Chromecast. I was using screen cast and there wasn't any noticeable lag. Was even watching some slow motion video and it looked as if I plugged it in via HDMI. Good enough for me.

I dont have wifi otherwise id try chromecast, and I thought i read chromecast doesnt support the s6 yet, although theyre maybe a workaround the wifi requirement somehow, i think it has to do with the initial setup has to be done then you can do it

Chromecast works without a hitch

no Miracast
Trying to use miracast with my s6 on both my Microsoft wireless display adapter and my wdtv live, it tries to connect but fails after a few attempts. I can connect with my old s3, my surface pro 3 and some Asus memo pad hd7's. Samsung or lollipop have broken Miracast, does anyone know where to send a complaint?

Did you ever figure out a solution or reason for the issue? Facing similar problems myself trying to connect my s6 to my LG smart TV using miracast.

So I've experienced smart view working perfectly for weeks. Have s6 phone and series 6 Samsung smart tv. Then it stopped and I only get an option to deny, no option to allow. To confirm, I have only those two devices-no wifi router or home Internet. Was playing showbox, Spotify, youtube, mobdro...etc. There was about a half second lag, perfectly acceptable.. Samsung told me it may be an update issue, but why remove the feature I bought equipment specifically for that task? Is the connection Bluetooth? Or a direct wifi? This is why phones need to be able to connect to a wifi network they are creating..

[Q] Miracast and Throw Difficulties on New Bravia TV

Hey!
So I have a Sony Bravia XBR-55X800B - which is a new 4K Sony Bravia, which has built in Screen Mirroring support.
My Z3 in on 4.4.4 (TMO), and I cannot for the life of me gain a successful connection to my TV.
Regardless of what menu I am in on my Z3 (Screen Mirroring, Walkman, Notifications Bar), it will see my TV, I select it, it gains a connection, then it disconnects immediately.
I also have a Roku 3, and this works just fine and I am able to mirror to it just fine, but I would really like to take advantage of the native options.
Does anyone have any advice? I'm very surprised I have both of Sony's current offerings, and they do not even work together.
Thanks.

Try updating your TV firmware, because Miracasting from the Z3 works fine to my Roku Stick HDMI.

That's the thing, my firmware on my TV is up to date, and Miracast works just fine on my Roku 3 input...but I really should not have to switch to the Roku every time I want to Mircast something, it should just work.

Yeah, sorry to say but its your TV.

Agree. I restored the TV to factory, made sure the software is up to date, and it continues to have the same behavior on both my Moto X on 5.1, and my Z3 on 4.4.4.
Sucks :/

S7 screen mirroring lag

I'm using Microsoft Wireless Adapter with my S7, so I press on the Smart View from the phone's menu to screen mirror then I open a video with VLC, any video I open it lags and stutters, this was not happening with my Note 4, I know the S7 is better specs wise than the Note 4, I'm wondering is anyone experiencing this with their S7?

anybody experiencing this?

I just need one person who uses the Smart View to screen mirror to tell me that there is lag or not.

hello?

I just watched an entire 2 hour movie and it played fine with no stutters. If looking at the phone to screen sync. The phone runs the video then send a delayed video to the TV. It's fine cause I'm not watching both at the same time. I use mxplayer.
