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.

Hey,
I recently bought the Netgear PTV3000 and I am using it with my Nexus 5. Installation and everything else worked like a charm.
Things I'm wondering about:
- Whenever I connect my Nexus 5 to my TV, the screen resolution of the TV switches from 1080p to 720p. How come? It's supposed to be 1080p.
- In a couple videos on YouTube I saw that Samsung devices dont mirror the screen when stream videos but rather show a UI for controlling. How can I achieve this on my Nexus?
THX in advance!

samsung is probably running allshare to a samsung tv.
how did you get yours to connect at all?
i can't get my n5 to connect to anything with miracast.
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..
Been a long time since I have been here. Trying to figure out what to buy in order to screen mirror my Note 4 to my TV without using WIFI. I want to use my phone date if at all possible. I am going to list everything I have already tried and see if that will help you guys cross things off the list. I currently have an HDMI to mini usb cable that will provide what I need but has a few issues. #1 the charging port in the side of the adapter does not charge faster than the usage so really useless. I also cannot turn off my phone while hooked to the tv or the picture will go away thus draining the battery. The only luck I have ever had with this is to use the cable and turn brightness all the way down by using Screen Filter app after the content starts and it does Ok but not that great. I have tried Screen Standby but never got it to work. Last week I bought a Chromecast thinking that would work but did not realize Google had recently blocked it from working off your cell phone. You must use WIFI and my home internet sticks pretty bad. I also have an Amazon Firestick that has a screen mirring function but was pretty bad as well. Is there some sort of dongle of some sort that will allow me to do what I have described. I would really like to buy something I can plug into TV, cvhange my input and screen mirror my Note 4 without all the headaches. Thanks for any and all help in advance.
Hi all,
As the title says, I'm trying to find out if it's possible to connect a LG G6 or V30 to a Samsung 4k Smart TV without having WiFi?
Example: I use my current Note 5 to just screen mirror (sources on TV, then screen mirror on phone) to connect and can stream all day just using my mobile data, no need for WiFi connection.
I do have a Chromecast, because someone I used to trust about tech stuff I didn't know about told me I could use it to cast to it without WiFi... now I know better and own a Chromecast. I'm trying to decide on a new phone to get, and need to know if this brand new TV I just bought today is going to ruin my chances of upgrading to the phone I want or keep me on a Galaxy phone.
Thanks for any help!
