This is really frustrating. Based on the video above, I apparently have the EU version (same Dongle name and version).

I am in the US, on Sprint. I tried with a FreeGS3 (rooted TW rom) and now with the Sprint JB leak. No go either time. I've reset the flash counter and reset the dongle but no go. Dongle never makes it past the "Connecting..." screen and the phone disconnects after about 10 seconds.

Seems that a lot of us are suffering the same fate. I wonder if I should return this thing...Anyone have any ideas or suggestions? Anyone on Sprint try it with non-rooted stock?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] seanvree:
I'm unable to connect. When I push the reset putton in and the blue light comes on, I press connect on my SGS3 and it tries to connect, but then just times out and says "connection failed" I've tried to reset my device, but still does not work? This is a brand new dongle.

I'm on T-Mobile using Wicked V.5

Does anyone have the .APK for triangle away?

how do I tell the firmware version of the dongle? Anyway to update it?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] chrismast:
regarding triangle away: here. next time use the search ;)

You can see the firmware on the TV screen, currently I guess anyone got LF21, nothing know about any potential update for it yet.

The day before yesterday I got the same issue, hat to restart the phone to get a connection established. Now it seems to be gone again and it is the same as before: 1st try: no connection, scan manually again and connect manually, connection established (without restarting the S3).

Anyway I still got lags in games, anyone tried it maybe with an overclocked kernel? (I assume the S3 might be not able to handle or is not optimized for streaming over WiFi Direct to Dongle and at the same time play games like Dead Trigger or Riptide that need a lot of power)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] rkadve:
When I start Asphalt 7, the connection ends and asphalt stops.

When I play without connected to dongle, it works fine.

Any solution?

Got lags in all games.

Video shattering.

Disappointed.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] chrismast:
same here with asphalt 7, someone here posted earlier you have to start A7 before you connect via dongle and select in the options the shared screen feature, but also did not work for me so far.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] shoong512:
awww really? can you confirm that HBOgo will be blocked? I am on HBOgo every night (boardwalk empire, trueblood, how to make it in america, various movies :p) if it is blocked, this is a major deal killer for me.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] rkadve:
Now A7 starts after selecting dual screen, but within few seconds but A7 & connection crash.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] seanvree:
Has anyone had luck getting this to work on Wicked's ROM?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] rkadve:
What i understand is you need to be on stock to get this working.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] celeox:
I got it to work. Restart then connect. I am on wildchild LI8 v 23. After ending

Connection it won't work until restart. Sound does not work at all.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] yogi217:
Does this work with stock att s3? On their website it says only tmobile and sprint.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] seanvree:
I can connect to the Dongle, but the AllShare app won't launch. I get the error "The AllShare Framework does not installed, the application will Exit." See the screenshot.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] supersonic64126:
I'm having the same issue. Have been using FreeGS3 and recently flashed Sprint JB leaked rom (rooted). Dongle never gets past "Connecting..." and the phone disconnects before ever mirroring anything on my TV. And yes, I'm using Triangle Away, and it makes no difference. My wife also has a Sprint Galaxy S3, but unlike mine, she is on the latest stock rom and her phone has never been rooted. I tried using her phone with the dongle and it worked the first time, and continues to work every time. Display stutters every once in a while when scrolling fast through menus, but video is mostly clear and smooth. I haven't tried gaming. So, I know that my dongle isn't defective. I also know that for some reason this thing works with the stock rom with no root, but doesn't work on my stock (leaked) JB rom rooted. There seem to be some people in these forums who have gotten this to work okay on rooted phones with custom roms as long as they use the Triangle Away app. I unfortunately haven't figured out how to do that yet. If anyone has any ideas, any help would be appreciated. I have some custom software on my phone for which I need root, so while I guess I could go back to stock (although I'll probably wait for official JB release before I do this) I really can't do without root. I will keep playing with it as well and I will post any updates if I figure this out.

I saw 2 downloads on Samsung. Com regarding the all share

Any one tried updating?

Sorry if it's been mentioned.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] paulus3476:
I think the last to posters are getting mixed up between allshare app, and allshare cast - the two are quite different. Allshare app is simple streaming, allshare cast is wi-di ( wireless display ) and is only achieved using the allshare cast dongle, as opposed to wifi dongle for tv set. The giveaway should have been where it said which windows os the software was for.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] supersonic64126:
No confusion here. I have an Allshare Cast Dongle and am attempting to use Allshare cast in settings on my GS3 to mirror the display. And I was hoping that the Windows software and drivers were to update the firmware on the dongle itself via USB. Not sure if it's possible, and I'm still waiting for a link to these downloads. Until somebody has a better suggestion I'm keeping an open mind.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] phaseL:
I was going back and forth with Samsung Support through twitter, and the final suggestion they offered me was to do a "Factory Reset". After reading your post, I will try going to unrooted stock, but man, that's not really going to work for me long term, as I also will need to be rooted.

EDIT: Also, I notice if you goto Settings>About Phone>Status>the last entry is "Device Status" and it says "Modified", even with Flash Counter set to 0.

That may be our culprit. Anyone know of a way to change that without going back to unrooted stock?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] supersonic64126:
Exactly what I was thinking! I noticed the "modified" as well under settings. I searched other threads on XDA for this issue, and the general consensus seems to be that the only way to get rid of the "modified" is to install stock rom, unroot, and hard-reset. I could not find any instructions anywhere on another way to change this. The part that I don't get is that "Triangle Away" app has tons of reviews in Google Play with people running AllShare Cast on their rooted S3's and it resolved their problem. Can someone using AllShare Cast on a rooted S3 please check to see if it shows "modified" in settings and let me know? I think that could at least help us identify the problem so we know what kind of solution to look for. Thanks.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] a67543210:
My status is modified, but my counter is zero. My connection works flawlessly.

While trying to resolve the 10s disconnection issue, I tried JB LG8 Stock,JB LIB stock, all unrooted, but the disconnection continued. While settling my mind to setup back my phone on JB LIB while reading through the forums, I

-Rooted my phone with CF-Root,

-Triangled away. Counter went to zero, but status still says modified but does not affect connection.

-Rebooted my phone, and boom, it just started working without any disconnections.

I think this issue is a random issue and it`s hard to exactly pin point the problem, though it`s now evident at least that you need a zero counter to get it work. If it doesn`t work, reboot and try again.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] dazza7111:
Is this better than hdmi mhl lead and why?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] swent:
Not true, mirroring would mean 720p resolution. But as we know it is able to output 1080p.

So instead I think in addition to the usual 720p image it also generates an extra 1080p image for the TV. This not only means that certain apps can change whats seen on either screen but it would also mean that your GPU/CPU has increased workload.

I'm not sure if that's the same as with the 1080p MHL adapter. If so, I can confirm that playing very graphic intensive games will definitely increase workload and may cause lagging (at least that's the case with the 1080p MHL adapter).

Can anyone confirm this?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] chrismast:
Running the dongle with rooted JB. Status modified. And as you know triangle away just rests the counter, not the device status, for that you have to flash an original rom.

---------- Post added at 03:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:08 AM ----------

As was said earlier, right now the output stops at 720p, never got 1080p output to the tv till now. Still with the lower resolution games lag.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] supersonic64126:
Wow...sounds like exactly what I did. I can't say I've had the same results though. I've rebooted many times, and still get the 10 second disconnect every time. And it's not an issue with my dongle. Tried it on my wife's s3 (stock ics no root) and it connects perfectly every time. I'm glad you confirmed it works with my setup though...I appreciate the info. I guess I will go ahead and do a fresh install of rooted jb and try it, and if I get connected, I will restore one app and setting at a time while trying to connect. Maybe a conflict with some other apps or settings specifically on my phone. Probably have to wait until next weekend to try it. It's encouraging to know that it can work...thanks!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] a67543210:
Today, I`ve been able to try another connection method. I also had no sound upon connection. Both were solved by a strange way as below:

In order to get the sound coming out, I had to switch the TV on and set it to the HDMI channel for the allshare cast, I then connected the allshare cast.[Allshare cast then activates it`s video output].

Then to get the sound coming, I had to change the TV video aspect ratio. Changing it to any other aspect ratio and back to 16:9 resolved the sound issue.

I do not know if the fault is from the TV or from a buggy firmware in the allshare cast. But it would appear that the allshare cast dongle reads the state of the TV, which somehow affects if it allows a connection to the S3. [This can be seen from the fact that switching off the TV causes the allcast share connection fail message on the S3. This can also be seen from the fact that switching the screen first before the allshare cast dongle created a connection without error, and changing the TV aspect ratio resulted in the sound coming out]. The allshare cast dongle starts working without fault once setup is done once.

In another forum, it was said that another method of connection following the official method, is to make sure the reset button is pressed just once, and NOT held down for many seconds. People reported immediate connection.

However, those rooted must not forget to reset their counter to Zero, using Triangle away as a prerequisite for trying any method of connection at all.

Rebooting the phone also helps connection. Argggh, what`s all this? Samsung should make a better firmware for this solid hardware

US T-Mobile customer, rooted with counter at 0. Wanam Rom is working pretty well. Use the H2 base as the jelly one doesn't work. If it doesn't automatically connect, press scan, stop after it finds dongle, then tap to connect. Best connection I have ever got. Volume and you tube and everything I have tried works.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] harpdoc:
Still no success for any Verizon roms

So far I've tried at least 7 roms, the last 2 being the latest RLS8-based Jellywiz (looks like it's connecting, then fails) and the VRALHD ICS leak (Allshare Cast isn't in Settings). If ANYONE gets a Verizon phone to work with the dongle, please let us know.:mad:
[Galaxy S III Accessories] phaseL:
I went to stock unrooted, allowed all the OTA updates to come in, made sure the device status was no longer "Modified", and it worked! Connected right away, but man it was disappointing. Frequent disconnections and I was unable to mirror Netflix. I think I'm going to return this thing and just get an MHL cable. Even if it worked flawlessly, I can't be unrooted for too long.

On a side note, it seems that the Sprint models have the "modified" phone status restriction, as T-mobilers and international models seem to work fine with just Triangle Away.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kl25:

Well, I have an SGH-T999, and I can say confidently,that the AllShare Cast Hub is the most expensive doorstop I have ever purchased since the Sega 32X.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] xManMythLegend:
Right about to purchase but have a few questions.

Will this work with non TouchWiz Roms with the Allshare app ?

These are my needs/uses.

Stream my music to AV reciever via HDMI. Id simply like to play my music without turning on my pc or tv.

Watch videos Ive recorded on the phone and playback YouTube videos.

Will this work ok ? And bigger question is there a way to use DLNA for YouTube playback without the Dongle ? ((i have a smart tv with dlna just not a samsung one))
[Galaxy S III Accessories] mrnamster:
I guess Real Racing 2 will not work well with this since Asphalt 7 is laggy. :(

Multi-tasking with background playback would be nice like with the HTC MediaLink HD (only worked for the Gallery app though). Even that was too laggy for Real Racing 2.

I wish these had audio outs for times when you just want to wirelessly play music for entertaining. I guess I'll be using my bluetooth Samsung HS3000 for that.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] supersonic64126:
What in the world is an "AllShare Cast Control App"?!?! I don't have any app like that on my phone, and never did (not even on stock rom). The only option I have to connect is via Allshare Cast in settings. And it doesn't work on my rooted S3. Can you please elaborate? Thanks.

For everyone else that has theirs working are you able to get Avengers to play? I'm on Frosty 4.0.4 v2 Tmobile rom with morfic 39 kernel and I had to try several kernels to get allshare cast to connect without error. Stock rom I was able to connect but couldnt play Avengers. So I ended up going back to an earlier morfic kernel Alpha7b and the error went away and was able to get avengers to play.

So my opinion on this hub is a mixed bag. For 1 I do like that I don't need a stinking cable now and love that I can watch movies, surf the net. But hate that I cant play games with higher frame rate. I was thinking I can use this to play several fast framed games like gameloft or EA games with a PS3 controller but the stuttering can get really bad specially when turning or panning. I'm not sure its a problem with it being a wifi dongle or that the U.S. version of the s3's processor just cant handle mirroring well. My tegra 3 Asus prime has awesome frame rate but thats through an HDMI cable. I'm sure though that it has to do with the Snapdragon s4. Kinda sucks but it is what it is.

Audio Quality

Has anyone else using the allshare cast dongle noticed that the quality of the audio it outputs is terrible? I mean, its really poor. The sound is very "tinny" with no depth or bass. I know its the dongle, as when I connect to my system using the MHL to HDMI adaptor instead the audio quality is excellent. I've tried calling Samsung to complain but they seem reluctant to do anything about it. They blame it on the limited WiFi bandwidth. This makes no sense to me, as the dongle can output crisp, clear full 1080p motion video with no problem whatsoever which as I understand uses a heck of a lot more bandwidth than audio.

Any thoughts or suggestions?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] dondak:
Audio through Allshare play app

this has been happening with mine also. i thought it might have to do with the video player app, so i tried playing through the samsung allshare player. the audio was perfect, just like playing it through a hard wired connection, but it only lasted for about 30 seconds. an alert popped up saying that the "Sound Alive" enhancements were only available with headphones plugged in.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] sterod:
Interesting. I have never gotten the dongle to output quality audio. I've tried many different sources, doubletwist, the samsung audio and video player, slingplayer, vlc, they all sound like crap through the dongle and amazing through the MHL->HDMI cable with no setting changes.

I wrote Samsung a lengthy email a few minutes ago expressing my concerns, hopefully I will get a useful response.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kanewtz:
Does anyone know if the Sony Internet Player (with Google TV) supports Allshare?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] sterod:
As far as I know, the AllShare system is proprietary to Samsung mobile. You are going slightly off topic, this forum thread is regarding the Samsung AllShare Cast Dongle for the Galaxy S3, not the AllShare system in general.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] chrismast:
As you might have reat, the dongle does not output 1080p even if said on the packaging...just getting 720p (tried it with MX Player, Stock Video Player).

Yes, I found that out later in during futher reading though. My questions regarding the poor audio quality still stands though.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] seanvree:
Has anyone got the this to work on Wicked's V.6?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] P0ll0L0c0:
I'm just realizing that this dongle is probably more sensitive to the TV you use it on than the ROM you're using.

I've used it for about 4 hours on my 55" LG 55LH90 1080P LED TV - and it works flawlessly with my stock ATT phone.

On the other hand, I tried to use it on my 32" Toshiba 1080P LED TV with passive 3D, and had constant disconnects. It wouldn't work for more than 10 seconds.

If you're having connection issues - I recommend trying it on another TV. This is disappointing, I'm hoping a firmware update will make the dongle more compatible.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] polarbearmc:
Sorry if this has been answered... I scanned thru like 8 pages and decided to just ask haha...

Can anyone with the T-Mobile version of the Galaxy S3 and totally on stock, not rooted at all, confirm if this thing works great with games and everything? I'd love to be able to play even my little casual games like Turbo Kids and Magic Wingdom on my big screen. Any lag or anything? Seems like a mix of people saying yes to lag and no to lag, but also its a huge mix of roms being used, I'm still just totally stock.
