[Q] Allshare Cast Hub, is it going to work with the S4?

Is this going to work with the S4? I saw a "Screen Mirroring" option on settings but I'm not sure if it's the same thing as Allshare Cast. Did Samsung change the name or is this a completely different feature?

any news on this?, i also have the dongle and might ne upgrading to the S4 soon.

Tested last night and works fine!
In fact with my rooted S4 it even works without having to use "Triangle Away" whereas on my S3 it would just bomb out.
But still only at 720p!
EDIT: and yes it is now called "Screen Mirroring"

Yes, it's working even better than the S3. Check out the videos: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2255720

Cheers all, although has anyone found out why Samsung are selling this as a 1080p unit where there is nothing 1080p about it.

Allshare Cast hub from S3 is working like a charm on S4. Far Far better then S3. I'm playing games without any lag or pixels on TV screen.
I'm uploading now a prove of it

It does output in 1080p for Galaxy S4. The resolution will be the same of the phone resolution.
If I were to use the dongle with my Galaxy S2 it would output to 480p on the TV.

No it does not! This thread is about the Wireless Cast Dongle, not the hdmi adapter. I have it in front of me now and the TV states the signal is 720p.

i did wonder when he said "the galaxy S2...." - the Galaxy S2 doesnt have widi and so no allsharecast. I'm going to log a call with samsung to find out why they are miss selling this, it appears to have no 1080p connectivity at all.

Here is my video showing Allshare cast on S4

Two questions
1.Does this feature work with the mobile connected directly to the WIFI network(Got a 2012 E8000 TV)? I bought an S4,and I`waiting for it to ship, but I didnt see anything about this dongle being sold with the phone.
2.Does this app allow for the screen mirror to go the opposite direction. Ie I want what the TV is showing, to be sent to the phone. Being in the kitche, or while taking a dump

I know the S2 doesn't have miracast support, that's why I said: "if I WERE to use it on my S2".
Regarding 1080p in this video the guy said it was outputting in Full HD on his TV, so I don't know for sure what's happening.
I ordered my dongle on Amazon and it should arrive in a few days so I can test it.

For those of you using the stock video app and allshare dongle - the default output in the video app is 720p. You can change this to 1080p in the settings

720p is still technically Full HD just not 1080p....

Are you referring to the wireless dongle? If so then, from memory, it does not matter what you set the output to in the video app the cast will still only output at 720p unless things have changed.

It doesn't make sense having a 1080p phone and output it in 720p. Hahaha.

With you there! But even the 3S outputs at 1080p with the wired dongle so it is capable of doing it, just perhaps not over the air.

Hello there...
I bought the allshare cast hub a few days ago. The connection between the my Galaxy S4 and the hub works well, but it's a bit laggy. Now I've found an APP (AllShare Cast Hub APP), which allows to update the firmware from LF21 to LJ01. The problem is that this APP doesn't work with the Galaxy S4. It seems that it's only available for the S3.
How can I update the firmware without a S3?
Thanks...

Any Way to Mirror Streaming Movie on TV?

I use xfinity tv now to watch TV shows and movies. It actually is better quality than streaming xfinity on my laptop. Is there any way (with or without wire) to clone what is on my phone to my Samsung smart tv? I know I can mirror my own pics and vids wirelessly but I don't know a way to mirror streaming movies on xfinity tv go. Thanks.

Chromecast will not work with the xfinity app. You need a mhl adapter.
Galaxy Note 3, HTC Rezound, HTC Evo 3D, HTC Evo, HTC Touch Pro 2, LG Voyager

Haven't tried it but it looks likes PLAiR2 stream Xfinity.
"Using a Chrome plugin (for the web browser version of Chrome) you'll be able to "beam" content from your smartphone, tablet, or notebook computer (or desktop computer, for that matter), from websites of all kinds."

Chromecast definitely does not stream web pages from mobile browsers, only from Desktop browsers. Maybe someday...

And with mhl to hdmi xfinity app will stream to tv? Will it be 1080i?

[PORT] Samsung Smart View App For All Android Devices - Makes You Enjoy Your Smart TV

Smart view mirrors tv on phone. I want to mirror streaming movie on phone to samsung smart tv.
Xfinity tv go is an app. You can't stream xfinity movies from browser.
Beamed from my Galaxy Note 3

Oh well. Doesn't look like either of them work very well anyway.
I'm pretty content with just streaming Xfinity and everything else from my laptop virtual desktop I guess.

Although I have good Internet speed from xfinity their windows browser app stutters badly on my laptop and is virtually unwatchable on my tv. Ironically it is fine on the note 3 but I'd prefer to watch a 55 inch screen over a 5 inch screen

[Q] Screen mirroring or DNLA or something else

Hi guys
Is it possible to browse a stream from my telephone played with MXplayer to a random tv. Could be samsung TV or thru DNLA?
I noticed when I'm in MXplayer I can't browse DNLA with devices around..
How can I play a stream via MXplayer on a recent tv without using HDMI?
I would be so thankful

You could connect to a samsung tv via "screen mirroring" (also called miracast, can be used with any miracast TV)

If I understand you correctly. I just have to buy a miracast and I can play it on every hdmi TV wireless? What about delays? Are there any delays?

EDIT: something like this? http://www.android-warehouse.com/nl/tronsmart-t1000-miracast-dongle.html
Will this work on every TV that supports HDMI? Even when the TV has no wifi.
(first generation hdmi tvs)
What's the difference between dnla and miracast exactly?
Is browsing a stream possible with Mxplayer on phone to tv in full screen?
Mxplayer has no dnla support?

Not a pro but:
Every hdmi tv with a dongle, yes.
Its like if u access your dvd player via hdmi, you can use your dvd remote then. The dongle will take your screen and put it onto the tv via hdmi, no matter what generation hdmi. And your tv has no need for wlan. It will have a 2-3 sec delay (bad for games) but will work perfectly for watching movies.
Ah yeah and it takes your screen so it doesnt give a sh1t what app you open.
Dlna: sharing media files in network
Miracast: stream your screen to a tv or any other miracast capable device

Any wireless option will have a slight delay. Those wifi adapters that are plugged to TV via HDMI cable... it's going to be a delay... Even with Samsung original. Same if you have WiFi TV in that case you don't need adapter but still, a delay.
Best option i think (at least for gaming where delay is not an option) is MHL cable... I'll buy one, it's 7$ or so... i think it is worth it.

I've read that those Mhl adapters are not compatible on every TV and needs a external power supply is that true?
Isn't it possible to plug and play

I recommend you only get this MHL adaptor for best picture at 1080p 60hz, i bought several third party ones which are nasty with delays and only output 1080p 30hz, and with the original you don't need to plug in power source, ypu can play hi-res 3d games fluidly and movies are superb quality.

I found this on a website: http://be.mobilefun.com/38702-samsung-galaxy-s4-galaxy-note-3-mhl-hdtv-adapter---et-h10fauwegww.htm
It's much cheaper than the link you send. Is it the same? If so, I'm going to buy it €30's is not that much for a thing like this. 1080P @ 60hz is nice

Urrrrrrgh. WIRES
Take it with you wanting to stick to a wired connection you are looking at playing games ?
If not Mira-cast is an awesome little party trick !
I use mine with my LG smart TV its brilliant !! There is maybe a slight delay for gaming but tbh thats why i bought a PS....however HD movies seem to work fine as it adjusts for the sync to work !
I also use mine as a jukebox at times pretty nifty.
Goodluck with either the cable or dongle you decide to go with, let us all know how you get on :good::laugh:

Thx, I'll let you guys know
My main usage is for streaming football matches from my Mxplayer.
And I bought a cable since HDMI is almost everywhere now to use (to use at friends or family). We'll see how it goes

HDMI Quality

When I connect my stock unrooted note 3 to samsung tv by hdmi the quality is only 30P. My tv tells me when I connect. I thought this phone was full hd? The picture is watchable but really disappointing. Is there any way to get full hd? Is there any way to wirelessly mirror screen without allshare? I don't want to look at pictures. I like to watch streaming video and it has no all share option. When I connect with hdmi I get true screen mirroring but only 30p. As long as I am looking at a ****ty picture it would be nice to do it wirelessly. I saw a thread that suggested using direct wifi but that does not do anything. Any ideas? Thanks.

It's doesn't have Wi-Fi. Will chromecast work if its not a smart tv? I actually am not familiar with tvs at all, haven't used one in years. I don't know if this is a smart tv or not, it doesn't have android or any of that.
