Hi,

Anyone knows If and how much I would have to pay on taxes/customs for my nexus 4 that I've bought in the US,

It is now at the belgian customs, been there 4days now. I'm getting worried, I read so much scary stuff about 21% BTW, 10% import tax + customs payment (about 10euro or so)..

If I calculate I'd pay like another 100-130euro for receiving my phone.. wich would make it a total of 500+ euro's (thats 600dollar+)

I searched, can not really find an exact answer for my question, only like 'ship it as a gift' and then 1 say it does have taxes, others say it doesn't have taxes.. so anyone is wise enough to tell me the facts? :p

Thx upfront.

Hey there. I saw this site for DIY USB Jig and using it to boot into Download mode. I was wondering if anybody has had a change to do this?

http://rootgalaxys3iii.com/diy-usb-jig-for-samsung-galaxy-s3-to-boot-into-download-mode/

I'm not hard-bricked and really don't need it, but there's been a lot of questions from people about how to recover from a hard-brick. Before I turn around and say, "HEY, TRY THIS!", I want to make sure it works. I turn to the Masters for the answer.

Thanks.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Woody:
This is the first that I am seeing that a jig will work with this phone (even though that article is from Oct 2012). I knew they worked for 1st gen Galaxy S devices but everything that I have read was that it would not work for the SGS3. Be nice to see if someone can confirm this too.

Also, the jig is used for a "Soft-Brick" (has power but can't get into Recovery or Download mode) and a JTAG is for a "Hard-Brick" (No power and/or maybe a red light and some wording like QHSUSB_DLOAD on the screen).
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Bass_Man25:
Thanks for the clarification. Title changed to reflect this information.

I'd be interested in seeing if this works.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] fermunky:

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] vouty:
Good news: I took adavantage of Samsung's 50% off special to pick up an Allshare dongle for $50.

Bad news: Can't get it working on my rooted TMO GNII.

This is what happens *every time* I try to connect (20-30 times)

Hooked up dongle to TV via HDMI. TV shows Allshare ready to connect on the screen.

With the red led flashing on dongle, I press the reset button and the led changes to solid blue.

On phone, try to connect with Allshare Cast utility.

Phone sees and connects to dongle.

Screen on TV changes to screen with black background and says connecting, but never gets any further and never shows the phone screen on the TV. (See attached image)

Connection is lost after 10 seconds and this message appears in a pop up on phone: "Current AllShare Cast connection will end."

Here's what I've tried so far. Each time getting the same result as described:

Updating Allshare Cast app from Play store.

In SuperSU app, unrooting phone by unchecking Enable Superuser.

Restoring stock T-Mobile rom from nandroid backup, with and without Superuser enabled.

Installing and running Triangle Away 3 times in a row. This got the flash counter down to 1, but not 0. Also shows Binary status: Custom.

In stock rom and with SU disabled, the phone downloaded and sent a firmware update to the dongle, but this update did not change results at all.

Hoping someone can give me something else to try. If not I may have to completely unroot and restore stock image to verify this works at all. Then go step by step through rooting, adding back Clockwork recovery, etc. to see where the Allshare connection gets broken.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] globen:
Get the triangle away app. Reboot and enjoy. Theres a thread on getting this to work, and I can attest to it working cause im rooted custom rom and enjoying my allshare;)

Also try uninstalling triangle away and reinstalling. When you run the app does it reboot your phone for you? Mine does and thats when I know it works.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] vouty:
Already tried this, 3 times. Yes, it rebooted my phone. I wish it had worked for me! Will try uninstall/reinstall of TA as you suggest. So what rom/recovery are you using? When you do a Vol down/Home/Power button boot up, what does it say for your Counter and Binary Status?

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] vizographic:
Had same problem. I could almost cut and paste your post OP. Its not root status, nor does a custom rom necessarily bugger allcast function; its the kernal. You currently cannot run any custom kernal and have allcast function. Triangle Away is powerless in the face of this vial DRM kernel menace.

You can mix and match or use some modded roms and you can debloat and/ or freeze much of your junk. When using triangle away for the allcast dongle TA activation must be done in a paticular sequence...

Chainfire gives detailed info in his "triangle away" thread. ( you've propbably found this already but if you haven't, then it is a must read.)

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] vouty:
So if I understand correctly, being rooted and having a custom ROM do *NOT* prevent the dongle connection from working. It's having a non-stock kernel that makes it not connect, is that correct? So in theory if I restore the stock rom from my nandroid backup, and correctly run TA, it should work fine? Now what about having a custom recovery? Does that have any effect on the Allshare dongle? I have Clockwork. Do I also need to restore the stock recovery?

Also, in the TA thread, I'm not seeing the part about "When using triangle away for the allcast dongle, TA activation must be done in a paticular sequence... " Could you please copy and paste that part into this thread? Thanks.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] vizographic:
Yep, you got it right vouty. The kernal must be stock to connect allcast dongle. The rom can be modified stock or custom but your success may vary.

You can be rooted....and you can use custom recovery, I am using use twrp (cmw is said to also work).

[But if you use a custom recovery, my current understanding is that, your flash counter will be reset from 0 to 1 on a boot up. Take this with a grain of salt. ]

I refered to a sequence, sorry if I made it more complicated than necessary. Just reflash triangle away, and don't check the counter, if you do it will set counter back to one if you have a custom recovery. Hope this helps, the dongle works really well, you're going to like it.

Thanks for getting back Vizo. So I got it working! I tried restoring the stock rom from nandroid, restoring the stock recovery, then running TA, but still didn't work. At that point I know I'm gonna have to do a full stock image restore and what I chose was this method from mrRobinson: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1975560

If you follow the simple steps, as written in the thread, this will fully restore stock ROM, recovery and wipe the Internal SD space putting your T-Mobile Note II back to perfect, out of box condition, with Device Status showing "Normal" and counter status as original... BUT PHONE IS ROOTED! And it does it all in just one easy step. Definitely owe mrRobinson a beer.

The dongle is now working with my phone and it is awesome! Already got Netflix streaming installed and working. Gotta hand it to Samsung. Allshare cast is a "Killer App"!!!

Only remaining issue is that I don't have a custom recovery, so no flashing any goodies like custom toggles, status bar mods, or 4.2 camera for now. Want to enjoy the Allshare goodness for awhile before I risk breaking it with Clockwork and TA not being able to fix it. Hoping Chainfire can work his magic on this issue and break the triangle's back permanently!

interesting to hear everyone's experiences with the dongle problem. i was having similar problems but had the luxury of testing out with my rooted t-mobile note II and wife's stock ATT note II. i was getting the exact same "connection will end message" on both phones. decided to change TV's and found that i was able to use the allsharecast dongle without any problems. didn't have to restore or change anything. worked right away after plugging in to different tv. i'm wondering if there may be some incompatibility with the HDMI signal or connection with the TV that could be contributing to dongle connection problems?

Hi everyone. I get the same issue as Vouty.

Hmm have you tried a different tv. It has worked on all the tv's I've tried mine on but some have reported that this can work...also just to clarify things did u run the update from the play store?

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] vouty:
Things to check:

System settings>About device>Status - Scroll to last item, Device status. It should say "Normal." If it says anything else, like "modified," then it probably won't work.

Check everything is right with the dongle connections:

I would suggest using the HDMI cable that comes with the dongle, just to rule that out.

Ensure you are "pairing" correctly. The correct steps are to *FIRST* put the dongle in pairing mode. Start by unplugging the power and plug back in. Wait for the led on the dongle to start flashing red. Tap (do not long-press) the reset button. This should immediately make the led turn solid blue. It *will not* pair unless the led is solid blue. When the led is solid blue, the dongle is ready to pair. Now on the phone, pull down the notification bar and tap the Allshare toggle (it's way over on the right). It should see and connect to the dongle. Like bluetooth, you only need to pair the first time. After that, it will auto-connect everytime you toggle on Allshare and the dongle is in range.

Once I restored my GNII to factory stock, as I described, the pairing worked perfectly, the first time, and has been working ever since. Good luck!
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] vouty:
I suppose anything is possible and that there could be TV's out there with old, non-compliant HDMI inputs. But if anyone was gonna have this issue, it would be me. My TV is a cruddy, 5 yr old Olevia 26" 720p hunk of junk from Frys. Yet every HDMI signal I've ever plugged in (Windows laptops, weird DVI-HDMI ebay media players, even my old HTC Sensation with an MHL adapter) have worked fine. Hoping Santa brings me a nice shiny new "ultra-thin" full HD resolution HDTV for XMAS!

Help Please

Got my Note 10.1 about a week ago along wıth AllShare Cast Dongle. Everything worked fine at first but after doıng a factory reset (which I was advısed to do by Samsung Support because of some dısappearing icons) I can connect but after about 2-5 minutes of video the pıcture freezes on both TV & Tablet . Get a message on tablet - Allshare connection is unstable - then - Current Allshare Cast Connection will end. The frozen pıcture on the screen then breaks up and goes to green screen.

If I try to connect at this stage Tablet cannot see the dongle (blue light on) & only way to get ıt seeıng ıt agaın ıs to take out power lead for a few minutes.

Unfortunately I am in Turkey at the moment so cannot go to Samsung Service Centre (language problems) so if anyone can give me any advice it would be much appreciated.

This is my fırst Android device and everything is stock. Still running ICS.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] vizographic:
1st Have you applied the allshare cast update? There were a lot of reports of sketchy connection issues with the allshare dongle. The recent firmware update from the playstore seems to have fixed many of them.

2nd which phone are you on? You mention you are on ics. If its not the dongle it does complicate matters a bit, since I'm on jellybean. Still, If you can answer the first update question, and provide ,model ,make ,rooted and /or

non/stock plus kernel info, I'll do what I can to help.

Thanks for your time Vizographic

Did mention in my post usıng Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 Tablet. Received an update to dongle last nıght just before I posted, did not appear to make any difference. Just tried again and video ran for just under 5 minutes before connection stopped and reported unstable. Everything stock (have not played with anything apart from factory reset) Android Version 4.0.4 as have not yet received the upgrade to JB.

I now live in Turkey and have no intentions of movıng again - beautiful country, very friendly people (now have a Turkish wife) and a nice climate. If you are a history buff Ephesus about 1.5 hours away and Troy about 5 hour drive. Did not buy tablet here as electronics about double the price of the States.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] vizographic:
uzumlubay, its seems I missed this detail, in the first sentence of your post....

"Did mention in my post usıng Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 Tablet."

How sad is that? Well, i sure can't blame you if you ignore any of my proffered advice! My bad..lol. Ok, I've come up with two things you can try.

1st download wifi analyser free from the market. The dongle has it's own wifi built in, it will show up along with all the surrounding wifi routers and the channels they use. The app will detect and suggest optimum channel settings and highlight crowded channels. If the dongles channel is crowded it would display the issues your describing. It would be best if you could moniter the connection with your tablet on a second device, but either way it might help with figuring this out.

2nd,There have been a few posts on power supply to the dongle being fickle. If you haven't already, try a different power supply, one that puts out 5 volts...it seems to have worked for a few.

3rd, substitute the suppied hdmi cable with another one known to work well.There is at least one case, displaying connection issues very similar to yours, that turned out to be caused by a bad allcast cable.

4th "I now live in Turkey and have no intentions of movıng again - beautiful country, very friendly people (now have a Turkish wife) and a nice climate. If you are a history buff Ephesus about 1.5 hours away and Troy about 5 hour drive." If any of my half baked ideas solve your problem, I fully expect you to invite me to stay with ya'll in Turkey. ..and does your wife have any sister's

Congradulations on sorting out your problems with the dongle. The allcast dongle has so many new and unique issues ( stemming from Samsungs drm easter egg ) that typical problems for this new type of product are being lost in the general noise of complaints. Your kindness in posting your results is an excellent reminder to check the, in hindsight, more familiar culprits. Thanks!

Thought I replied earlier but cannot see it.

Tried all you suggested Vizographic, fortunately wife's Samsung phone had same power connector, but nothing worked. As I was removing HDMI cable got a brief picture on screen. Played about for a bit and found that by sticking a bit of card between dongle frame & plug I got a connection which held (at least for an hour or so) so obviously a bad connection within the HDMI female plug. Will persevere in the morning (midnight here now) to find something better to hold connection.

I do not think much to Samsung's quality control or their support that wanted me to send the Tablet back but did not ask for the Hub to be returned. I would have sent the Hub back now but it would take 4 weeks to get a replacement (post 2 weeks each way) and I got this now to be able to watch some TV from home in English over Xmas.

Thanks for your time and Happy Xmas to all that read this.

Hello

Rogers Note 2 - Flashed with Jelly Thunder

Just got AllShare cast, followed steps to connect but when TV is about to connect....

The phone reboots and is stuck in rebooting, have to remove battery and star over

Status = Modified

Triangle Away - installed from here - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1494114

Update AllShare Cast app from Market

Can someone suggest where do I begin to fix this
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] vouty:
The dongle *will not* work, afaik, if the status is "modified" or if you are running a non-stock kernel. Some people report getting it to work after using triangle away, but I could not get it to work. Until someone figures out how to make this work with custom roms and kernels, you will have to revert your phone back to the stock rom to get this to work at all.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] vizographic:
Unfortunatly, Vouty is correct at this time. On a bright note, you can however be rooted on a stock rom if you use triangle away. At least with root you will have some customization, I believe you can also debloat, but I can't speak to that directly.

So basically

STOCK

ROOTED

TRIANGLE AWAY

..and cannot take advantage of custom roms at all, those who got it working are either lucky or well, just lucky?

correct?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] inningsdefeat500:
So I did nandroid restore, ran the app - said dongle needed update = took update and then connect > connection failed

Ran triangle away > rebooted and checked stats = MODIFIED

ran app = worked\

So being modified doesnt matter

So I shouldn't be cheeky and upload custom rom?

can i replace with stock kernel on top of custom rom, has anyone tried it

Also, I did feel bit of stutter when I play 1080p youtube vids and some stutter in netfliz

normal?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] vizographic:
Yes, the real problem is with a nonstock kernal. The current consensus seems to be that Samsung has deposited an extra DRM easter egg in our lovely new Note 2s It detects a modified kernal and prevents triangle away from permanantly resetting the flash counter. .So if you want to use the allcast dongle you cannot have a modified kernal. I have seen some claims of successfully using modded roms. Should you decide experiment, I for one would love to hear your results.

The video stream with netflicks is really quiet good overall. I've noticed a bit of audio/video mismatched, but it seems to correct itself. Concerning the stutter, if you are referring to a sort of skipped frame effect from time to time, then yes I've noticed this also . I still consider it very watchable though. I chalk up some of the streaming glitches to a crowded wifi environment, the dongles wifi would likely be affected. I've noticed better streaming, though never perfect, in cleaner radio environments. Hope some of this proves helpful and good luck.

Well,when you put it like that........it just sounds so ..so.. ugly.

I am hoping that someone from within xda will front us a solution sooner than a telecom update. Also, I might be mistaken, but I believe there are some modded roms if paired with the stock kernel are claimed to work. There is a reason they call it the "bleeding edge" and it's not just the money. We might have to wait a bit for better solutions.
