I have been searching for hours and found nothing. Does anyone know a way to bring bluetooth tethering to att galaxy s4 i337 (rooted).
I only need this to be able to use the custom firmware features on the galaxy gear. Third party apps wont work to connect it to the tether via bluetooth.

many thanks
So I am working on making a custom Launcher for my N7 to be installed into my dash of my car. One simple thing I am trying to do is tether the internet from my Galaxy S4 via bluetooth to my N7. It has worked once, though now my N7 will refuse to make the internet option stay connected. Anyone have any ideas why? Maybe my S4 is blocking it?
I have been using an old Nokia for bluetooth tethering and the app BlueVPN on my N7. I haven't had any issues with the connection dropping. Does Samsung provide their own software for bluetooth tethering?
I do know that as of now, there are various apps that do not detect an internet connection when you're only connected through the bluetooth method I use due to a bug, for example the browser works fine but you cannot download apps from the market unless you are also connected to wifi.
Hi,
Im hoping someone may be able to help. I've had an s3, s4, s4 lte and now the dual sim s4. Its a great phone however I cant seem to get the hdmi out working, this is important for me as I run an app radio in my car, so use my s4 for everything from music to sat nav etc.
With my mhl adaptor from my s3, from my S4 and a new s4 mhl 2 adaptor. Each does the same thing. If the connector is only pushed in partially (presumably so the first row of contacts meet) then it charges only. If its pushed in further then it does nothing, no charge and no hdmi.
Has anybody got the hdmi working on a dual sim s4?
Cheers Gav
Hello,
Unfortunately I have the same problem with my s4 i9502, no HDMI out on the Smartdock EDD-S20.
Maybye I will try with a stock ROM (Android 4.3 ?).
If anybody has ever succed to activate the MHL video on this phone, please advice !
I will also try with the samsung wireless HDMI receiver, hope it will work.
Regards
Hello,
What I have understood from the Chinese forums (Google translation...) is that it is a software / firmware limitation
The workaround that I have found (works on my i9502) is to use the samsung allshare cast dongle (HDMI wireless transceiver).
But it works only thanks to the modification of a lib (see this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=45605884, personnaly I used root browser app to do it).
It seems that flashing a stock Rom for a i9500 is possible (even if you lose the dual-sim function..) so this could enable the MHL function.
I do hope that one day someone will find the trick to make HDMI out works one the i9502.
Regards
I recently added service to my S4 At&t mdl version. It's running Goldeneye 53 from several months ago. It's 5.0.1 lollipop. I've read that since 4.3 people have been having issues getting video out working. I have a new Alpine x009u in my vehicle but it won't show video. I have a new Samsung mhl and an older one which I don't know from where. My Alpine will show Chromecast on the screen but I don't want to use this device as a hotspot for Chromecast. I thought I could get it to mirror but it still wants a WiFi connection. Any help would be great. I tried connecting my s4 to a standard TV hdmi but no luck either.
Hello,
My grandpa would like to watch YouTube on his living room TV, and you never say no to your grandpa
So, I recalled Galaxy S3 has Miracast support for mirroring and I ordered a Miracast dongle. However, It seems he don't have Galaxy S3, but a Galaxy S3 Neo+. I couldn't find any option to turn on Miracast on the stock phone (even though it has WiFi Direct) and when download an app from the market, it indeed opens Miracast/mirroring settings windows I could not access from the Settings, but scanning does not seems to work at all.
Anyone had managed to get Miracast working on S3 Neo? I prefer not to root and install a new ROM if possible.
Thanks!
