[Galaxy S III Accessories] Bugblatter:
If that's so you can use a wireless controller I've been doing that using Sixaxis and a PS3 controller.

Works very well as long as you reboot first, otherwise I find Sixaxis often gets closed by Android to free memory and so the controller stops working. A few zombies had a few unscheduled meals thanks to that... :eek:

Samsung should have made a dock that gives an HDMI out and a USB connection simultaneously. I want the wireless charger but still wouldn't mind plonking it into a different dock when I want HDMI and/or USB.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] justniz:
I'm wondering if the 720p-only output from the phone isn't an artificial limitation because of DRM. A lot of DRM will let you only have a degraded signal on untrusted connections. I can imagine they might be thinking that the wireless signal would be pretty easy to hack so puropsefully limited the phone to only do 720p on a wireless output following pressure from Hollywood or whoever. That theory would also explain Samsung's apparently otherwise bizarre position that they intend to do nothing about it.

I got my Galaxy S3 from T-Mobile so it has the seemingly unavoidable ton of vendor-specific crapware installed, amongst which is an app to let you stream a (very limited) selection of particularly bad tv channels. I had actually wondered if the $10 or so per month wasn't a good alternative to paying for cable, so I bought the S3->HDMI adaptor with the intention of using my phone as a sort of virtual TV tuner.

Dissapointingly, the T-Mobile TV app will only stream video as long as the adaptor isn't plugged in, meaning you can only watch streaming TV on the phones own display. The moment you plug in the MHL dongle, even if the player is already streaming, the player says the media streams are no longer available, as if the network is down or something (which it idefinately sn't, as I can still do all other network-dependent stuff) This wierd behaviour would seem to be very on-purpose. I'm thinking the 720p thing could just be more of the same.

I wouldn't put it past a service provider to cave to media company pressures, but what about the phones that aren't inside the US or in countries with lax laws.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] woody1:
Just curious, if the the AllCast dongle uses some version of wi-fi direct, can you also connect to normal wi-fi/internet at the same time? If you can't connect to the internet over wi-fi at the same time that you're using the dongle, that means that you can't use it with streaming services, e.g. Netflix, Spotify, etc. If that's the case, that's a big limitation.

Has anybody tried it with streaming content over wi-fi (not 3G or LTE)?

Otherwise, the more I read about the AllCast dongle and the MHL/HMDI connector, the more I think that a better solution would be some kind of generic device that would work over wireless with any (or at least most) phone, tablet, PC, etc. Seems that these accessories are fairly expensive and it's a pain to have to buy some adapter for each device you own.

I would like to find a device like the AllCast dongle or the HTC Media Link HD that would provide a high-quality HDMI output. Probably standard wi-fi direct or maybe even BlueTooth would be a good interface. Maybe I'll wait until something like that is available

One less thing on the shopping list then. I was waiting for it to be available since the first day I got my phone. Pretty sad.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] raulchik:
from S3 or from PC?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] woody1:
Yes, that's the question I have, can you stream content over wi-fi (say from Netflix) while simultaneously sending video to the dongle? If not, then, the MHL adapter has the advantage.

If i want to use allshare cast with my tv, do i need that dongle? I have es6800 samsung tv
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Tabs78:
hi,

some questions:

1) dogle will be compatible only samsung tv?

2) can i install allshare cast on my samsung tab2?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] le_novo:
The dongle is NOT ONLY compatible with samsung TVs. Checked on LG. Basically works on every TV with an HDMI input.

As far as I know there is no allshare cast setting in the Tab 2, only allshare play app(and for that you don't the dongle).

But not sure had the tab2 only 3 days before returning it.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Mr.RS4:
This dongle will of cause work with other then SGS3? I have Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] demlasjr:
It should work as charm ;)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Mr.RS4:
Or should I wait for Miracast?

And would Miracast work on Samsung Galaxy S3 and Note 10.1 tablet?

EDIT

I know that SGS3 should be able to talk to Miracast. Then I just need to find out about my SAMSUNG UE55D7005 LED TV do support this Miracast.

Just bought one of these and looking forward to getting it in the next few days. It was 80 US on Ebay. Hopefully any of the reported issues can be fixed with a FW (when ever that will be released) or hopefully doesn't apply to the device that I am expecting. Just kidding. I still believe that the device conceptually is very cool. Let's see.

Did you get this to work in the end? I still have my htc media link hd as I swapped from the htc one x to the S3....

[Galaxy S III Accessories] khudko83:
Hi to all!

I have seen a lot of reviews of the dongle with claims about lags and 720p video output (not 1080p). Do you suffer the same?

Can someone disassembled the allshare samsung dongle in order to see the hardware of device and send me/post here pictures? It will be helpful to understand does it actually support 1080p on hardware level!

Thanks in advance!

[Motorola Droid X2] ultravioletnanokitty:
I bought a 99c USB host adapter on eBay and got to testing out the functionality. I've confirmed that when provided with an external power source (A USB Y cable and my wall charger, in this case), all of the FAT32 formatted USB media I attached would mount. I tried my ext4 hard drive, however, and it would not mount, even when specifying -t ext4. This probably requires ext4 support in the kernel, which should be looked into along with kexec. I plan to pursue that once I have enough posts on my record to post in Development. I have yet to test other USB devices yet, but I do plan to.

Has anyone else tried this? If so, what were your results?

These results come from this software: CM9DX2 Alpha3 and https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=hu.sztupy.android.usbhostcontroller for the USB device enumeration.

Tried flashing stock .173 and .181 or whatever the numbers are up to with failures.

Phone still works but I want a clean wipe.

I have used RSDLite 5.6 and get to step 4/23 before it fails out.

Tried RAZRUtility, it fails out.

Tried Eternityproject alternative flash, it fails on most of the beginning of the install.

It is kind of bothersome that there are all of these different ways to go about one action and none of them are working. I have been searching and trying things for hours.

Phone still works but a clean flash would be nice.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] bwheelies:
Found the answer myself. Matt's RAZR utility 1.6. First time did not work. Make sure you install moto utility after unzipping file then flash in AP fast boot.

Some things error ed out but flashed fine and phone is working properly again.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davestuarts:
Hi, After monitoring great progress in Sanvolds Desire ICS rom, I've recently jumped from MIUI GB to Sandvolds ICS then I wanted more space so I loaded SLIM ICS Beta 0.13.1 (99% the same without all the extras). Rom is great and really smooth, now this is green recylcing at its best - ICS on a Desire!!

One or two features I liked I am missing from miui are:

Can I get the same/similar email and sms apps as miui (non bloated, just simple)?

There was a pattern lock features that allowed application lock too. i.e. I could lock my facebook or e-mail client apps. Can I get something similar, nice and simple not bloated?

Anyone with a bricked phone from flashing the gsm boot image, flash this via Odin as a PDA.

It will flash a stock boot image back to your device.

1. Extract Odin files to a folder from the attachment.

How to get into Download Mode (For Odin)

1. Unplug the USB cable.

2. Shut down the phone.

3. Hold down the 'HOME' + 'VOLUME DOWN' buttons and press the 'POWER' button for about 2 seconds until a WARNING! Screen appears. Press the 'VOLUME UP' button to enter Download Mode.

2. Tick 'Auto Reboot' and 'F. Reset Time' in Odin and nothing else.

3. Download the boot image and load into Odin as a PDA.

4. Click on Start to flash the image.

Phone stuck on Samsung logo

Hello, any help that anyone can provide would be greatly appreciated. I installed a rom(intended for my phone not international) and when my phone rebooted from recovery it hung on the Samsung logo. I have tried to do flash both stock root and regular stock via Odin several times. It always says it passed but it always hangs at the same place on the Samsung logo. I have tried removing the sd card and flashing but nothing seems to work. The phone will not reboot into recovery either. I have searched around and cant seem to find a solution.

Try this. Pull the battery out and put it back in. Hold in the volume up button + the home button + the power button. As soon as u see the Samsung logo with the little blue letters in the top left corner let off of the power button but continue to hold in the volume up and home button. Assuming your on a stock ROM u should have the stock recovery so u will be booted into recovery. Scroll down and select to do a factory reset. Once the reset is done choose to reboot the phone and see if it will boot up now. If not feel free to pm me and I'll do what I can to help.
