I'm on the LATAM ICS. I have a rogers razr (on Telus), and it works great. I don't think you'll mind the bloatware as much as you think - they've really toned it down (and I HATE bloatware).

Hope that helps, I know I was confused for a while, but took the leap, and have loved every minute of ICS since I did.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Zadabest:
I'm going to need to flash a latin american retail ROM right?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] baenap:
Yup, first you need to flash a GB LATAM rom. Then you're good to go to upgrade.

Also on a Canadian Razr, using Rogers... How orignal. Latam roms are not much different from the stock roms we have, love ICS and have no problems or slow downs or had to reboot. Check the thread above, PM any questions.

I installed "Xperia NXT v1.2" as I have a locked bootloader, and Crash has gone missing :(

where is he and how can I get the apk? thanks :fingers-crossed:
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CTU_Loscombe:
To be honest, you're better off paying for FPSE. I bought it today and even without my kernel being overclocked it runs smoothly. You'll be able to play the other Crash games as well ;)

I paid £2.39 for FPSE and it was worth every penny :)
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iRhyiku:
that was always an option, but I have some PSX games in my house that I want to covert to xperia play due to the fact I like the convience of them being there when I slide out my gamepad :)

Well I guess I'll use FPSE to see how it runs, Is there a free version that I could use to demo or only paid?

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] becosemsaida:
Ok, i know this must be here somewhere but i just can't find it. Too much time digging i guess....

I'm tired of waiting for samsung to release a solution and want to try something else.

Currently i'm on ics with lpy (german stock) so i have the famous problem (already checked). Here's the doubt: if i go back to gb with pc odin won't i have a chance to brick my device ?? I'm talking to dload an official gb rom (from dr ketan's thread) and do it as it's supposed to be done.

If i brick it will it be "the one"??

Second doubt: what rom can i flash safely?? I read a lot of threads with a lot of kernels and so far the only ones mentioned to be safe are cm9 and franko...... So basicly i need a rom with one of those??

So i can just do it like this: flash gb with pc odin, dload rom (and kernel) from what i like?? After i tried it out and don't like it and with a supposed safe kernel i can alway flash a new rom ?? No possibilty to superbrick it??

What is currently the best combination regarding battery and performance since they all claim the same............?????

Another (stupid) question: every time i flash an unofficial rom it will increase the counter or with the newer ones this is annulled? I know with a jtag i can clear them.

So basicly i'm confused and afraid to play around with this device. I have flashed other android devices in the past and did a bit of reading, the only thing that still is unclear is the possibility of superbrick........

Thanks for the help,

becosemsaida
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bioweb:
Speedmod and Dafuq kernels are safe as well. Basically you are good to go with the knowledge you have.

Flash an older GB rom with PC Odin without the hardbrick risk, root it and flash a CWM kernel and then flash a rom based on CM9 or any safe kernel, just stay clear of roms based on official Samsung roms unless you replace the kernel with a safe one and never wipe data, cache or Dalvik on an official ICS rom.

I've been using the official AOKP rom, build 39 at the moment. It's fast, smooth, great battery life and excellent customization, based on the CM9 kernel so it's safe from the superbrick.

If you use a safe rom you can use CWM to wipe and flash other roms without the risk of superbricking.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] musashiro:
same as above, flashed rootable GB then rooted using cfroot... and waiting for samsung to release the fix
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheRecRuiT89:
I had the same problem I was afraid to be on the official ICS and last week I had solved like previous members said.

- First I flashed GB rom (I preferred KKA because it is directly rootable which dr.ketan mentioned it on his root guide)

- Then I rooted it with zergrush (see dr.ketan's root guide) it is the easiest way to root the device without yellow triangle

- After that I have flashed Paranoid Android ICS rom which is based on CM9 and is totally safe against the superbrick bug. It is also really exciting to use my Galaxy Note on the tablet mode with this rom I can recommend it to you.

Anyway if you really dont want to use any of the custom roms you can also flash ICS but not with its original kernel because it is totally risky.

you can use Mobile Odin and before flashing you can select an ICS stock rom but you have to change the kernel with speedmod or franco kernel. then with this combination you can flash and wipe your data after flash completes.

most of the people says that the bug is in the official ICS kernels and it triggers the emmc bug which superbricks the device. So with the other custom kernels you should be safe.

As final words I still would say that the safest way is to flash a custom ICS rom which is

not based on official ICS roms

. For example Paranoid is a CM9 based rom and is totally safe.

So decision is yours dude :)

Hi guys,

Does anyone know when the allshare cast dongle will be available to order ? The only info I could find is probably somewhere around late June according to this seller http://www.clove.co.uk/samsung-allshare-cast-dongle-samsung-galaxy-s3

I really can't wait to surf/play on my big tv screen :) I know that I can buy the mhl adapter but I'll probably wait for the dongle to be released.

Thanks in advance !

Samsung South Africa

I queried with Samsung South Africa an a local retailer which gave me an ETA of middle JULY.

Real pity since they had these demoed at the UK launch event middle May...

But Polaris Office 4 was also demoed on not yet available ANYWARE. Well the price we pay for being first.

At least the stock S3 is an amazing device. Perhaps they are stagerring the hardware to give them more time to get firmware "extra nice"..
[Galaxy S III Accessories] wackyD:
Yep my local retailers think it'll come out mid July as well.. Can't wait. And agreed, this phone in stock configuration is awesome!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] geargamer:
Has anyone bought from this site. http://www.mobilecityonline.com/wir...a=X&ei=Ikj6T83MJ-be2QXhi_z2Bg&ved=0CDcQgwgwAA

They have the WiFi dongle for preorder and $40 that's half the price as clove. If it's legitimate I am definitely getting one.

By the way I posted this in a similar thread. I thought they would benefit from this post as well.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] korebreach:
Unfortunately, that's not the Allshare Cast dongle. That's the MHL adapter, which allows you to connect your S3 to a HDMI TV using a corded connection. (HDMI cable not included in the box).
[Galaxy S III Accessories] geargamer:
Wow, I just looked at the link again after your post and your right. The first time I looked at it the information was different and there was a picture of the allshare cast dongle not the mhl adapter. They changed it. I new it was to good to be true. :(
[Galaxy S III Accessories] EdgaBimbam:

Anyone know how much this is supposed to cost in UK, Europe, US or whatever? Cos I don't want to spend much on this so trying to decide whether to import if it's cheap enough.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] geargamer:
I've been looking around and have seen it as low as $80 US dollars to over $100. All with shipping included. I just broke down and bought the mhl adapter tonight for $36.49. That should work for now tell the price comes down.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] jasweb:
Also getting the 11 pin MHL adaptor now (ordered, but waiting for stock) and Just ordered the allshare cast dongle as well (5 week lead time :-() but work is paying, so can afford to wait. Will post review when/if it finally arives.

Paying ZAR 850 so that is about €80.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] wackyD:
Teh difference is that that is a stick that'll allow the tv to gain wifi capability. It's pretty much a wifi card. So if you link up the tv to your home network you can stream from the phone to tv via the allshare app..
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kthung:
The allshare cast dongle uses wifi direct to stream your phones screen to an hdtv, letting you mirror your phone on the tv. The item you linked to plugs into a tv and lets it connect to your home network and access the internet.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] danarama:
thanks guys but I'm none the wiser. It does allshare and its cheaper than the allshare dongle. I just dont get what its limitations are. Are you SURE it can accept stream?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] MaNIaCv1:
This is a WiFi adaptor for Samsung Smart TV’s, which allows the TV to access the internet and DLNA files via your wireless access point.

The AllShare Cast WiFi dongle connects to an HDMI port on your TV, any TV not just Samsung TV’s, and allows amongst other things, your SIII display to be mirrored on the TV.

MaNIaC
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kthung:
Just to be clear wifi direct is different from normal network sharing technologies like DLNA. Wifi direct lets you connect two devices without using an existing wireless network. So for example if I didn't have a wireless internet network setup I could still wireless stream to an HDTV using Wifi direct. In principle it works similarly to the way bluetooth does but allows for much higher bandwidth
[Galaxy S III Accessories] danarama:
The wifi direct supports all share. So in theory I can plug this into my 2009 samsung to stream movie and game content to my tv

Edit. Or not because it's not smart. Got it
[Galaxy S III Accessories] dikime:
I hope someone comes up with a trickery/hack/mod so we can use the dongle to stream from a laptop as well if it's even possible.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Tomatoes8:
Basically this in layman terms.

The GS3 has wifi built in which connects with the allsharecast dongle and the dongle displays the image of the GS3 onto the HDTV.

The dongle you posted just gives wifi to devices that do not have wifi built in. Since the GS3 already has wifi built in, that dongle does absolutely nothing for the GS3. but it does make your TV DNLA compatible since not all of the older TVs have DNLA standard but if your TV does have DNLA, then that dongle you posted is useless for BOTH the GS3 and your TV.

You can connect the GS3 with allshare cast enabled TVs but that just lets you display pictures and videos, it doesn't completely mirror your phone, and the entire UI on your phone, to the TV though.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] MaNIaCv1:
Wifi Direct is a standard that allows two WiFi devices to connect to one another without the need of a router or access point in what’s called ad-hoc mode.

While Allshare Cast undoubtedly uses WiFi to communicate it’s not WiFi Direct, its Samsungs own implementation. I’ve not heard of any TV that allows a WiFi Direct connection to stream data to it. The SIII can also act as a DLNA server and stream to any DLNA enabled TV using standard WiFi.

MaNIaC
[Galaxy S III Accessories] winbytrick:
I believe you can stream from laptop, phone, tablet to your HDMI TV if you your device are Samsung's. So far as I know all Samsung's devices support all share function

[Galaxy S III Accessories] Lennyuk:
August/ September
[Galaxy S III Accessories] jadaress1:
Why are you confused? The guy says it works, i never tried it before as i thought it only worked with the htc one x. Unless someone has brought out some software to make it work with the s3 how would it work? The 3 finger gesture to get it to work is non existent on the s3. So when the guy said it worked i thought he knew something i didn't. Guess not.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] smokeyb111:
I think hes confused because.......instead of asking, go..try..it..yourself. better than asking 'does it work?', when u say u have one at your disposal. :confused:
[Galaxy S III Accessories] jadaress1:
Ahem..... I was only asking because some guy has just said it worked, i have no software on my phone to try it out which it needs, anyway I'm repeating myself now. Cheers.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] mertzi:
the pricing on the allshare cast makes it much more motivated to buy an ouya or any of the dual core android hdmi sticks available. in sweden the allshare cast will be at around 90 euro, and the ouya will be like 105 euro (120 usd including shipment) and its not much bigger than the allshare but you get a whole standalone android tegra 3 unit WITH a controller. OK it wont come out until march but I think the allshare is way too expensive compared to other alternatives.

and there will probably be a lot of solutions for controlling your ouya with your android phone.

only on SG3?

Hi everyone,

just wanted to drop a line since we've just connected a Samsung Allshare cast dongle to a TV in my workplace. I thought that the technical implementation would be via WiFi direct, or it would serve as a separate WiFi access point with it's own network. Well yes, and no.

The connection I tried with my Samsung Galaxy S2 was WiFi direct and it was successful. But my AllShare application didn't work. Also tried to update the Allshare app on the market- no luck. While connected I also tried the best DLNA app there is - iMediaShare , but no luck either.

So basically, this SG3 accessory is only Samsung galaxy S3 limited (for now, I guess future samsung models will support it too), and thus, not a very useful device.

If I'm wrong, and there IS a way to actually connect this device to any other that SG3, please drop a line. Logically, there shouldn't be technical (hardware) disadvantages why this wouldn't work, but Samsung decided to push it SG3 only...

Cheers, love the forum...
[Galaxy S III Accessories] wackyD:
So were you able to actually use am S3 on it to test it out? How good is the connection?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] jocoska:
I'm sorry, I didn't test it with Samsung Galaxy S3. I figured this must work properly since it is a SG S3 accessory. I wanted to test the dongle with multiple devices figuring that it should work with the old AllShare app, but it doesn't. If Samsung doesn't make it backward compatible, I think someone should.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] crabby09:

Allshare Cast Dongle / Sweden

Hi all.

Got mine today, and i must say, not impressed... Perhaps much can be fixed with a FW update, but the one i got today, manufactured 25/7 is going back most likely if the problems are not fixed.

* Picture quality, in one word, Sucks. And it's only 720p whatever you do. There are absolutely no settings anywhere to be found. I have tried it on 6 different displays with the same thing. And the picture feels very heavily compressed. The box clearly states 1080p. I use Intel WIDI from my laptop normally and that works great, and compared to that the cast hub feels very crappy.

* What makes me more worried that its really is just for 720p, is that when you connect the dongle to your display it shows a small guide to show you how to connect the phone, this guide is in 720p to.

* Laggy when playing HD content, and sound problems, at least with Dice player.

* No way to enable dock/MHL mode with this = vertical home-screen....

Well that's my first impressions.

Edit: This is ofc. using latest FW for the S3
[Galaxy S III Accessories] geargamer:
Where are you guys buying them from? I still can't find any where that sells them.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] socjdqcer:
Im with you bro, I cant find them anywhere either! Where is everyone getting them from?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Throme:
Well in Sweden they are in stock at many of the web-shops at least.

Then again, do you really want one if it's only 720p and heavily compressed? Aka Crappy picture. Mine went back in the package and out came the MHL adapter again, that works much better, but ofc less handy.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] tsangwc:
It wasn't bad when they do the demo in trade shows. I would be pissed if it is 720P only and video is compressedto no ends.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] socjdqcer:
I dont need it for streaming HD video, thats what my xbox 360 and BluRay player is for. Im a teacher and just want it for the power point presentation aspect. so I dont have to stay plugged in, in one spot in my room, but can walk around while I switch slides. I would buy something else that did this, if it was available, but Im not sure what else is out there.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Throme:
Well i would like it to at least work to the specifications that it's sold with. It clearly states 1080p on the box and on Samsungs website. And if i buy a product, it should deliver what it's advertised to do, not a really crazy expectation i think. And compared to the MHL adapter the picture is really bad, colors are washed out, it's grainy and so on. Compared to Intel WIDI it has a long way to go.

Anyhow i have been in contact with Samsung and they are aware of the problems, and that something is wrong with the units. I'm not the only one it seems and the matter has been escalated. I have yet to hear someone who has gotten a unit that works like it should.

And it should have an option to enable dock/mhl mode.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] tsangwc:
Is your source video actually in 1080P?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Throme:
Yes, that's not the issue. The Cast Dongle should connect the phone in the same way the MHL adapter does.

If you connect the MHL adapter you get a dock mode and 1080p "desktop" from the S3, the Cast dongle should work in the same way. But the dongles have problem, talked to a technician again now and they have the same issues themselves..

The problem is that the box you connect to the tv/display is not sending 1080p out. And there is zero, i mean absolutely zero settings to be made to the connection on either the adapter or in the phone, you can turn it on, but that's it.

Trust me i tried for several hours today to get the thing working as intended. But I'm not really surprised, the department who made the cast dongle probably haven't even talked to the guys who make the FW/SW for it in the phone, that's Samsung for you
[Galaxy S III Accessories] justniz:
Wait what?

Wait what? There's a dongle that plugs into the phone too? If so thats sucky. I thought it was meant to use (the phone's) wi-fi.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Throme:
Nope, i don't believe i wrote anywhere that you plug something in the phone.

You get a usb power, Cast adapter, and a HDMI cable. You connect the cast adapter to the TV or whatever display you want to use it with. A guide shows up on the TV (in 720p..) to guide you, all you do on the phone is to press cast share in settings and it connects very easily. Except for the fact that it's in 720p and compressed and not in the same MHL Desktop mode or quality as with the USB-HDMI MHL adapter.

But there is no settings anywhere for this connection, and if you change the channel on the TV/Display it drops the connection.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] berthram:
I also finally got my cast hub last week. I finally got it to work with my custom rom thanx to someone that figured out that you had to use the triangle away app from google play to get the allshare cast to work. Wonder why samsung would check if you had a custom rom installed and if you did, not allow you to connect to the hub...

Anyways, I can also report that I'm not able to get the advertised 1080p to work, it only gives me 720p output... Wonder if this is something that they can fix with some sort of fw upgrade for the hub, or if we early adopters have to buy a new unit...
[Galaxy S III Accessories] stefan78:
One other problem I have found whit the dongle is that the picture in picture function isn't working either.

Like I have seen in several YouTube clips you are suppose to be able to play videos in full screen on tv while in the meantime doing something else on the phon5e itself by pressing the same button in videoapp as you do when you minimize video.

Sigh Samsung.. Truly Sigh.

So today i finally got a answer from higher rep at Samsung.

The dongle itself CAN handle 1080p, the phone can't in its current state, and no FW fix is in the works. Samsung marketing truly at it's best.

I explained that it says 1080p och the website and on the box several times, but the only comeback i got was "The dongle can handle 1080p, use a MHL cable if you want 1080p" that the stupidest thing i ever heard...

Well i will send it back then i guess, a sad state of affairs over at Samsung.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] macdroid01:
Yeah Samsung marketing. It's like how they market the HM7000 bluetooth with Samsung's Freesync app. Which doesn't work on ICS so it doesn't work on any new phones. FAIL Samsung... FAIL. Will be sending it back.

I was so excited to get this allshare cast dongle. Glad others beta tested it. Yikes, only 720p and with other issues, no way.

I hope someone can figure out how to get the OTG/HDMI dongle to output both USB and HDMI at the same time through the MHL port.
