PLEASE NOTE THIS THREAD IS FOR DISCUSSIONS ABOUT SAMSUNG ALLSHARE CAST SCREEN MIRRORING ONLY - NOT ALLSHARE / PLAY OR OTHERWISE.

POST EDIT 13.10.212 - Latest gathered information and Thread rollup.

1. All Samsung Phones with allshare cast should be able to connect to samsung tv's with allshare cast, My S3 works great with my 55 F series.

2. Samsungs Allshare cast dongle works but i found it flaky and laggy, although watching movies was generally ok with no audio lag/ sync issues (using samsung video player)
[Galaxy S III General] the2rrell:
yes but this is just you telling us some information.......that your now saying they will not even publish or comfirm. so we should take your word and sticky it hoping its accurate.....not belittling the information, just a link or source would be good.
[Galaxy S III General] da.trute:
Like I said, they advised there is nothing official anywhere about this, it would help some people to have this mentioned in a sticky somewhere, it will save them time trying different ROMS and going back to stock like I did, what's the worst that could happen if you do and I am wrong?
[Galaxy S III General] NIK516:
I believe him and can you please let me know when the update is so I can update my TV firmware ..... thanks
[Galaxy S III General] akhil_pruthi:
Do you have any idea on how to make it work on the new ES models?
[Galaxy S III General] da.trute:
Sammy told me it should be working, however it could be that only the higher end ES models are capable like the older models, if your is a 7 or 8 series ES is should work,although you need to check the support section for a firmware update, i made that mistake of thinking there were not updates for mine as i was checking using the support section on the TV which only checks for OTA;'s, there were two USB updates to install on mine. It could be yours just needs updating. Register your TV and sammy and check for firmware updates in the software section.

[Galaxy S III General] da.trute:
i've called sammy several times over the last few days from work and got nowhere, i keep getting some idiot who knows nothing about this issue and keep telling i have to log a fault, the first chap i spoke to seemed to know all about it but i didnt take his name. Would hurt of other people to have a go themselves.

any people have been trying to get some information about allshare cast on existing samsung tv's that dont need the additional dongle, do you have any information on this, it has been suggested but samsung support uk that some models will get a firmware update soon, when and which models?. I have also been told by Samsung support that the ES models already support allshare cast, they dont appear to at all.

losing the Will to live..

Galaxy S3 wireless Media connectivity explanations:

1.) - ALLSHARE CAST - screen mirroring over miracast DNLA / WIFI - hardware decoding is done on Phone.

2.) - ALSHARE PLAY / SHARE - sends files to your tv and decodes / plays / shows files using TV hardware. (no real time screen mirroring)

3.) - ALLSHARE CAST DONGLE - as in option 1 but for none wifi tv's, you have to buy the dongle which connects to your tv hdmi port.

Samsung now tell me that allshare cast isnt currently working on any devices, it is still in dev, although when I asked about the allshare dongle he didnt know what I was on about. He also suggested the SGS3 was missing some software to run allshare cast, how can that be the case if the dongle works? , do you get an app with the dongle does anyone know?

So none the wiser again after 30 mins on the phone with them.

UPDATE: 25.9.2012 - after exhaustive hammering at Samsung from various channels there is still no answer on this - here is an update on what is currently known / assumed:

1. Allshare cast is currently only working with the ALLSHARE CAST dongle it will not work with any TV's direct, regardless of model.

2. It is still not clear which TV's are going to work if it does eventually work at all, it was suggested by an OP at Samsung support that it will be only the high end models, although whether this means all those that have WIFI built in or just some of them.

3. The Allshare Cast info on the Samsung Website seems to have changed to me, it previously suggested it would work on all WIFI/DLNA enabled TV's regardless of model.

4. Samsung and other companies are still working on a universal mirroring system which will be an agreed variant of "mirrorcast", Samsungs version of Allshare cast appears to be an early version of this and may in fact not work very well - the lag on the dongle version seems to back this up.

So, if you want to use Allshare cast at the moment you will need a dongle and the dongle has quite a bit of lag which for me rules out gaming. Please also note this information is a best conjecture on my part and so I cannot corroborate any of it, choose to believe it or not, I am happy to make changes to this if people have any more up to date information.

[Galaxy S III General] tsangwc:
I have tried that with my friend's D8000 model and it works. Whether the your TV will work with certain media is all depends on the TV's firmware that can decode your media or not. It is all DLNA and it has nothing to do with what Samsung call Allshare. Implementation of DLNA varies greatly between manufacturers and even models. My own Sony NX810 claimed to support DLNA and it turns out it can display JPEG photos only while the D8000 works with 1080P MKVs pushing from the phone. If your TV has WiFi, it doesn't mean it has WiDi (this is not WiFi Direct, WiFi Direct is an entirely seperate protocol). DLNA depends on your WiFi network and router settings. WiDi is direct to the TV like they are virtually connected with a cable.
[Galaxy S III General] da.trute:
You are talking about allshare play mate, this is allshare cast, its screen mirroring, different thing altogether, please read my original post.
[Galaxy S III General] tsangwc:
Read. You need WiDi on your TV. WiDi is not a piece of software that Samsung can add to your TV. Not many TVs has WiDi. Your TV might have WiFi but without WiDi it will never work. By the way, the dongle is called allshare cast dongle. allshare cast is just the name of the dongle used to communicate with your phone. If you are talking about allshare cast, it is the dongle. If the phone works with your TV, it is not using the allshare cast. Allshare cast IS the dongle and without the dongle it will never works with your TV.
[Galaxy S III General] da.trute:
Read. You need WiDi on your TV. WiDi is not a piece of software that Samsung can add to your TV. Not many TVs has WiDi. Your TV might have WiFi but without WiDi it will never work.

True so far, my tv being and 8000 model has WIDI and it doesnt work.

By the way, the dongle is called allshare cast dongle. allshare cast is just the name of the dongle used to communicate with your phone. If you are talking about allshare cast, it is the dongle. If the phone works with your TV, it is not using the allshare cast. Allshare cast IS the dongle and without the dongle it will never works with your TV

Rubbish, allshare cast is a feature in the same way allshare play and group cast are, the naming convention is irrelevant though, you clearly dont understand the difference between allshare play and cast - IT ISNT WORKING FOR YOU - YOU ARE MISTAKEN.
[Galaxy S III General] tsangwc:
Please proof it to me your TV has WiDi.

[HTC One X] wanzer:
With memory you mean "storage" or "RAM"?

In the first case, surely not; otherwise, less RAM is free, more power you need to fuel it - so it can affect battery life.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tschwenke:
(Sorry for the double post, I don't think where I posted previously was correct and I think it got zero reads!)

So, I was given this AT&T branded X10a to use to help out a family member, I am not sure how long it has been out of service (maybe a year or so)

So far what I have done:

Used PC companion to return to stock

Obtained SIM unlock from AT&T (used defunct Verizon SIM to get prompt and entered code, appears to have worked)

Installed Flashtool and can recognize phone

Installed S1 Tool and verified connectivity

Currently s1tool returns

Firmware : 2.1-update1

Baseband : 2.1.65

Kernel : 2.6.29SEMCUser@SEMCHost#1

So, my questions are more on what should I attack first! Not sure if I should:

Root -> BL Unlock -> Debrand to some generic from Flashtool

Debrand -> Root -> BL Unlock

Root -> BL Unlock -> Custom ROM

I am just a little confused on what direction I should head first with the rest of this. I was looking at the FeraLab New Gen ROM and it said that you needed Baseband of 2.1.71 as a requirement.

Seems like there are a couple of choices for root (flashtool and superoneclick) and a couple for recovery (Xrecovery and the two in flashtool). Just trying to decide what is best. As above I don't know if I should Root now before updating or update to one of the generic 2.3 roms then root... decisions decisions.

Thanks for any and all help.. I have been doing some searching just think I am overwhelmed with information starting on this phone. (my EVO and EVO Shifts were pretty straightforward I thought, this phone just seems to have a different way of doing things)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] THeLogiC:
1) upgrading to 2.3.3. upgrading will upgrade your baseband to .71 so you can install custom roms easily: many ways to do it.

[a] officially using pc companion or SEUS. you can download them using google. pretty straightforward to use.

using flashtool. Download 2.3.3 firmware from this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1749426

unzip the file to get an ftf file and flash through flashtool.Use this guide on how to flash via flashtool:http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=19685019

2) You should root your phone(flashtool will be easier as you have already installed it) and follow this guide to unlock your bootloader : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=19685019#post19685019

3) after you unlock you need to flash the kernel via flashtool.

two types of kernels

[a] stock based kernel for stock based roms: doomkernel v6,th kernel etc (its your choice).

doomkernel comes with both xrecovery and cwm preinstalled.

xrecovery- install stock based roms

cwm-install cm based roms

but you should check what recovery to use in rom thread

cm based kernels- for cyanogen(cm) roms. eg fxp kernel, kCernel etc.

check the rom thread what kernel to use.

choose your rom, and install recommended kernel via flashtool and install rom through recommended revovery :)

EDIT: next time ask questions in Q & A section :)

If u want to install custom roms,unlock bootloader,flash custom kernel with recovery,and then u can flash custom roms.

Or not unlock the bootloader,if u can't,root your phone,and install rom that supports locked bootloader.

The phone is very good,so u should be happy with it.

Yes you can . But you don't have to flash custom rom . Stock rom is itself pretty good.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] goldsmitht:
Searched, and cannot find a good answer to this.

i'm currently using CWM 6.0.1.0 through EZ Recovery, but saw a video on TWP and thought it would be interesting to try.

my question is this, what is the benefits of both, and once i use one, can i switch to the other, or do i need to delete all my old back-ups and start over? is a brick the outcome if i use the wrong back-up with the wrong recovery?

sorry, not total noob, but trying to build up my knowledge base, Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] lazarus2405:
TWRP is touch-based, allows you to name backups before you make them, and has a few more features. CWM6 saves space by deduplicating files when backing up. If you make frequent backups with few changes in between, this can save you a lot of space. CWM 6.0.1.0 supports kexec, which was used before the bootloader was unlocked. If your chosen ROM or kernel still requires kexec, you must use CWM6 with kexec support, or else you'll bootloop. I'm pretty sure most active ROMs have been updated to no longer use kexec, but it's possible to find them out there still. If nothing you have uses kexec, you're free to use any recovery you like.

They do not make compatible backups. If you try to flash a CWM6 backup in TWRP, it'll hopefully throw out an angry error. If you switch recoveries, you'll want to make a new backup immediately. You can always move your old backups to a PC to get the space freed on your phone in case you ever need them. If for some reason you really need handy access to an old backup, you can flash it in one recovery, switch recoveries, make a backup of that in TWRP, and flash back to your current backup.

Any other questions?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] goldsmitht:
no, thanks, was probably the answer i was expecting, so guess i knew the answer all along.

The TWP that is in EZ Recovery, is that the same? think i might try flashing it, and see what is up. Most of what i will be using is non-kexec, and i'm always up to try someing new as long as it doesn't bork my phone

wife hates it when i bork my phone...

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Stryker1297:
honestly, twrp looks cooler, but it is a bit buggy and you will have a bigger chance of losing imei when using it because it is a bit less stable in my experience. even softbricked on multiple occasions while clean-flashing roms and kernels. cwm isnt as pretty, but 6.0.1.2 touch is a very nice recovery :)
