Allshare cast dongle - Galaxy S 5 Accessories

Hey, im not sure its the right place to post it so if not please let me know or move it to the right one.
Im trying to connect it to my monitor but my monitor only supports a 720P transmission so it crushed as soon as i mirroring.
i have searched for hours on the internet and i was unable to find how to change or even open the Allshare cast dongle settings..
Maybe there is any option on My Galaxy S5 to change the mirror resolution?
Any help will be Greatfull!

Changing the casting resolution won't help, because the Dongle you're connecting outputs at 1080p. All it'll be effectively doing is upscaling a smaller image size to 1080p then trying to play this on your monitor.
Your best bet is to look around in the monitor settings or (if you can) change output resolution of the dongle if possible. Having not used them or knowing nothing about your setup that's the best help I can offer. Sorry.

[Q] HDMI, sounds nice but what for?

When i got the TF and red that it has a HMDI port.
I thought, sweet! thats cool!
Then i was looking for a cable and started thinking, why the hell would i connect my TF to my tv?
What do you guys use the HMDI port for?
Only thing i could imagin is maybe stream a movie, but i have a Playstation3 and playstation media server that covers that for me.
Games? you have to look at the TF anyway so you know your hitting the right part of the screen.
What wonderful things can we do with this?
doing slides presentation
You can show yourself playing games on the big screen to your friends instead of 10 people crowding up on a 10.1" screen right.
But yeah, slide presentations actually do use HDMI ports. But most people stick to VGA anyway.
I output my recorded movies (camcorder) to the TV for family to view instead of crowding around the tablet.
I connect a sixaxis PlayStation controller to the dock and play N64 games on the tv. (or Cordy etc.)
connect a wireless mouse to the dock and browse the web using the large display of my 24" monitor from the other side of the room.

Your question raises an important point.
I would have loved to use the HDMI port to connect to TV or OHP Projector etc to make presentations - but apparently the Asus HDMI port is not HDCP compliant and so it would not work with many devices that do accept HDMI inputs but expect them to be HDCP compliant.
I have tried connecting my Tablet to my Panasonic LCD TV using the HDMI port and have failed.
I have tried connecting the same to my computer's LCD monitor using HDMI and it seems to work correctly because the computer monitor does not expect HDCP Compliance.
So I raise the question that you raised.
What can this HDMI port be used for? For me so far this port is useless.
Most TVs will have HDCP in at least one HDMI input.
However, sometimes not every HDMI port on the TV will be HDCP compliant
..so you could check your TV user manual and pick your HDMI input accordingly
Note: There is no firmware upgrade that can turn a non-HDCP input into a HDCP compliant input
_______
If i remember correctly - my Sony Bravia KDL-W4000 only has HDCP in HDMI connection 1
I watch movies on my HDTV through it...both recorded and streaming.
It seems useful to me...otherwise I'd be watching the 100th rerun of that 70's show...no thanks.
I use mine for teaching English classes. Hook it up to a projector for flash cards and such. It's much easier to use for teaching than a computer, since you use your fingers and not a mouse.

HDMI out

A while back i saw a post of someone showing how to set up the HDMI out from this phone to the TV. I cant find it again, was i on the wrong phone? I know DLNA is available wich is ok but i dont have a tv that does that. Id rather be able to hook my phone to the TV and output it. Anyone seen the post or know if it is possible with the thunderbolt?
It was my understanding that the HTC hdmi cable isn't supported by the thunderbolt hardware. There is a dlna adapter which after a quick google is $140+ that has the hdmi output on that. If you have a Xbox 360 or ps3 you have dlna capabilities. I use iMediaShare to connect to my xbox and you get youtube and some other things added.
i just want to be able to hook up my phone to the TV and show a quick youtube video instead of pulling out my notbook. My notebook is big and my hdmi cord is pretty short.

[Q] A couple questions about the UG008

For anybody that isn't familiar with it, the UG008 is an RK3066 device very similar to the UG007 but in a larger case and with the addition of an external wifi antenna, ethernet port, and an analog A/V port. I went with it primarily because the analog A/V port allows you to connect a set of speakers when using it with an HDMI to DVI adapter (for viewing on a computer monitor) without the need for a separate USB sound card. Anyhow, to get to the point of this post...
Is there any way to add custom resolutions? It has the option for 1080p and 720p but the monitor I'm using has a native resolution of 1680x1050 (16x10). and stretches any non-native resolution to fill the screen. It's not bad in video, but text isn't as crisp as it should be.
Also, I was wondering if there is any way to connect another Android device with a usb cable to transfer files? I tried connecting my Note 2 which automatically launched the gallery app on the UG008 and gave me the option to transfer pictures but no way that I could find to transfer anything else. I assume if I could put the phone into mass storage mode it would work fine but unfortunately they seem to have done away with it in favor of MTP and PTP.
Thanks,
Tony

Other than a custom rom I wouldn't know of any other way to handle the resolution issue. No idea on the other device either. My question is on the recovery. Did u get one installed on it?

[Q] Allshare cast conundrum

Long time viewer, first time posting.
I'm a science teacher and I use a galaxy note 10.1 (original) to do my lectures and I project the image on the screen with allshare cast. The problem is, our school has old projectors with no HDMI and only XGA resolution. Up until now, I have been using an HDMI --> DVI cable which displays the image clearly. The problem of course is that there is no sound. I don't need sound most of the time, so I've been getting by without it.
However, after reading a few threads on here I found that people had success using allshare with the Cable Matters active HDMI --> VGA with audio cable on amazon. So I picked up one of those. I connected the cable and sound, made sure to power it with the usb cable, and it shows up with just a black screen. No matter what configuration it is in, it just shows a black screen. When I pull the HDMI cable out of allshare and put it into a laptop (acer chromebook), the image displays on the screen fine. So the VGA cable and adapter both work.
Allshare works on the projector with DVI, but not VGA, whereas a laptop works with both on the same projector. Any help?
Does that HDMI-VGA adapter support HDCP? I'm pretty sure there's been a change to the ASCD to require HDCP support on the "display" end.

I did see that, though I'm still on the old LJ02 firmware and furthermore the others I've heard with hdcp issues received a message saying that the device was not hdcp compatible. In my case I cant even see the allshare cast instruction screen (it's black) but I CAN see the dongle on my device and connect.
