Does Note 2 (Allshare cast) work with PTV3000 (Miracast receiver)

has anyone tried this
i nkow the GS3 worked with the Netgear PTV3000
but it seems to be a case by case thing, because the NOte 10.1 didn't
I bought the all share cast hub, but it sucks, because only the Note 2 can connect to it, and no other Miracast certified device (laptop) can
although the allshare cast is based on Miracast
So I am looking to get the PTV3000 which I know my laptop will connect to, and any miracast phone should (Nexus 4, GS3 already confirmed to work)
I hope someone who has tried the GNote 2 can weigh in
Thanks

If you look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1847290 you can see that the Samsung Galaxy S3 is supposed to work with Netgear ptv3000. But there is also issues as seen here http://goo.gl/TkAUT
I currently own a Galaxy Note 2 (sgh-i317m LTE model) and the new Push2TV (ptv3000) and no matter what I do I cannot get it to work
My phone runs on stock 4.1.1 JB and my PTV3000 is up to date.
If I put the Push2Tv in Miracast "mode" I see it from my GN2 AllShare Cast menu and it tries to connect ... but after many seconds it fails.
If someone else got it to work I would like to know also

Full Miracast support isn't approved until Android 4.2 (according to Wiki)

Just received an email from Netgear support:
Thank you for choosing NETGEAR. My name is ... and I will be your support expert. I appreciate the opportunity to assist you.
Regarding the concern, sometime early next year Netgear will release the firmware for this device that will enable the Miracast to work with your smart phone. So at present you will not be able to use this feature from your Smart Phone.

I know 4.2 will officially support Miracast but we are talking about "AllShare Cast". The partnership has been announced between Samsung and Netgear but I see an update will be required.

Ah..I see. AllSHare cast TO a PVT3000. Wow. That's a great idea!! The second it works I will buy a Netgear PVT 3000!
Edit: Found this.
I'm running Sprint GSIII w/ 4.1 and follow these steps:
1) Hook up the PTV3000 like normal (power, HDMI)
2) When it's booted up and displays ready to connect, I push the little button on the side and get the PTV3000 into Miracast mode
3) Launch "Allshare Cast" from the GSIII, click on and let it scan. It should display some "random" Netgear PTV3000 number
4) Click "Connect"; a pop-up window should open saying "Connecting", and once done you should be connected.
.....and that's it. Whatever you do on the phone will display on your TV exactly as does in the palm of your hand. Sometimes I have to toggle the button on the side of the PTV3000 and restart the Allshare Cast app to get it to connect, but nothing else is necessary.

All that process is exactly what I do, but at step 4 it says "Connecting", for a while, then it fails
I have a Canadian Rogers Galaxy Note II with stock 4.1.1 rom (simply rooted). It looks like it should work but it doesn't. I've even tried to connect right after switching between the WiDi to Miracast mode (saw this trick elsewhere) but it's a no go.
I'll wait for Netgear update :angel:

GS3 vs. GNII - shouldn't they both work??
It's strange that GS3 works while GNII doesnt - no? Really looking for a simple solution to push out to tv. have GTV 1Gen version (revue) and can't get anything to work properly to push to tv. was oping this box could do it!

Yes strange, I thought GS3 and GN2 were very similar. I've tried may scenario like resetting my PTV3000 with the reset button, restarted my GN2, tried to connect right after switching mode, waited for a complete AllShare Cast scan... and no solutions seems to work at the moment.
If someone know how to make it work without any PTV3000 update I'm ready to try

So is there any chance of extending the display to 1080p and outputting this to the miracast adapter? Ideally running two displays: An input device application (e.g. virtual KB/ mouse) on the phone and the main Android display on the monitor/TV?
Does a similar solution exist currently?

2.2.6 released.

I can confirm that the 2.2.4 firmware works with my Note 2.
PTV3000 2.2.4
Fully stock Note 2 AT&T - with the new 4.1.2 JB (multi window) update from samsung.
I had tried 2.1.4, 2.1.5, 2.2.2 and none worked.
After applying the 2.2.4 firmware the 1st couple of times connection failed. It turned off my wifi on the phone for some reason. When I turned it back on, opened Chrome browser then pulled the drop down message/task window and hit the "AllShare Cast" button, voila! It connected and is working pretty darn well considering this is beta. Lag is about 1 second, but all I want to do is watch pod casts/videos. Youtube as well as videos from channel9.msdn.com are playing perfectly (which I believe uses a silverlight/html 5 player).
I received a text in the middle of a video, so I flipped out to read it (mirrored on TV perfectly) but when I went back to chrome, the TV was stuck on the view of my message. I turned off the allcast, back on and it's running fine again."

That's a done deal for me. Buying one. You can set up PS3 Media Server to run from a PC, and use UPNPlayer to access PS3 Media Server on the Note 2, then play a video through MX Player or DicePlayer and wirelessly, sending it to the Netgear PVT3000. And that's my goal.
I will put up a video once I have this working.

It is stuff like this that still casts a shadow on android. Apple tends to work really well with apple products but android based on open source which supposedly supports more standards out of the box just asks for a bad rap when OEM's halfass hardware support. And why doesn't android still not have a GOTO product that supports mirroring and dual screen support? Android is just begging for a universal dock, much like laptops have had for awhile, but the OEM's are too greedy and limit accessories on the fact that you'll buy the next accessory that is only supported by x phone or x brand.

Apple requires an Apple TV to "Airplay" and this means obviously, totally closed source. Android is developing the open sourced Miracast into it's operating system base. That means ANY Miracast enabled device will allow for functioning wireless display. Samsung's All Share cast can already connect with a Samsung dongle OR a Samsung TV that has AllShare Cast enabled. BUT, Allshare ALSO works with a Miracast enabled receiver, like the PVT3000 which is in firmware dev right now.
PVT3000 firmware 2.2.4 works with Stock Allshare cast Samsung ROMS currently (with some noise issues).
While Android, being that it is open source doesn't have a dedicated wireless app, besides Miracast, is going to run behind Apple, once it is finished solving the bugs it will surpass Apple just like everything else in Android that has been refined does.
Take a look at the Nexus 4 Miracasting. And you don't need "Android/Google TV" to use it.
3:30 mark to see the delay from Nexus 4 to the screen (perfect for video...not for gaming)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DwvYrv2s9Kk
Now...see what NVIDIA has done using the Tegra 3 to enhance Miracast.
:35 mark for delay example.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b52zqNIeQso
What's my point? It will get there, and when it does, it will be excellent.
EDIT: LG tv's are coming with Miracast built in. Check out this video. practically zero lag.
56 second mark for example.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xPzRWw5LNL4
Edit 2:
Also..AirPlay has HUGE delays. About 3-4 seconds. While Miracast is getting down to around 60MS.
http://forum.algoriddim.com/viewtopic.php?id=1307
Manufacturers getting on board with Miracast:
http://certifications.wi-fi.org/sea...=&date_from=&date_to=&selected_certifications[]=69&x=62&y=15
and
http://certifications.wi-fi.org/sea...=&date_from=&date_to=&selected_certifications[]=67&x=37&y=8
I would say with this kind of collaboration it won't be long before Miracast comes to Apple products, unless Apple doesn't want that...then they had better expand the allowed receivers and improve their latency dramatically.

PVT3000 works on Galaxy Note 2 stock 4.1 ROM.
Ok. Received my Netgear PVT300 and here is what I have found so far. ONly testing with the 2.2.4 currently using a Galaxy Note 2 with stock ROM with power saving mode off.
1. NO noise line (garbled or digitized delays in the feed)
2. Sound and video sync fine.
3. If I am streaming Youtube, it seems that it works great, then may pause or stutter a bit. If I pick the phone up and click the power button or rotate the phone in my hand the stuttering goes away almost instantly. Like the phone has gone to sleep and moving it or pressing power brings the CPU back up to full speed. This may be important if Samsung needs to know that AllShare Cast sleeps too easily.
4. Netflix will NOT play through my wifi network when I have the AllShare cast on. Instead it grabs the cell tower for some weird reason. Also, equally as strange, Netflix plays the 16:9 (widescreen) videos in 4:3 (standard) making them look compressed...squished. Bizarre. As soon as I drop AllShare Cast the image goes widescreen and uses the wifi again.
5. Sometimes the AllShare complains that the stream is unstable and if I reconnect I might get a better signal. I am going to try placing the PVT in a better line of site place as it sits behind my HDTV right now.
6. And you aren't going to believe this one. I can connect to the PVT, then open up UPNPlayer, THEN...open a video that is being served from my PS3 Media Server off my PC, and play a 720P movie through the phone and out to the PVT. Unreal.
7. The only real hiccup is some actual frame dropping during playing. It's not bad...really barely noticeable But I can see it. If I have to guess I would say that there is a sync problem of some sort as the hiccup happens in a very evenly timed interval. Like every 23 out of 25 frames, that frame drops.
8. The delay is really minimal. I mean, you can see the delay from phone screen movement to TV, but even if you wanted to play a game...you could do it without much trouble if the game didn't require pinpoint reactivity (think Angry Birds Star Wars..lol)
Future testing plans:
I have not tried long term video playing, but I plan to and I plan to do it with the screen forced to stay on as well....just to see if the phone is deep sleeping and making the stream stutter because of it. I also plan to do all these same tests with 2.2.6 or the next beta that comes out (whichever happens first). I also want to try a customer ROM with a better kernel. I had a ROM on before and used the Perseus kernel and man....the phone was stupid fast. But I think it was killing the battery. Actually...that is another thing I wasnt to check. Making sure the battery can still charge while doing all of this. Sometimes running too many things and the GPS at the same time won't let the battery charge fast enough to beat the drain. Depends on your wall adapter really. Samsung's adapter is a 2 amp output and the phone needs it sometimes.
I could video my findings, but I doubt anyone cares that much.

HDCP
With a rooted note 2 running CleanROM ACE, I consistently get HDCP errors when attempting to connect. My girlfriend's stock note 2 works fine.
I'm not an expert, however from what I've read most roms do not include the files for HDCP authentication. I searched my device for libstagefright_hdcp.so for example, and came up with nothing.
The question arises:
Can you simply toss those files in the file system where they need to be? Will this yield the desired result?
I've also seen discussion of Cyanogen including these files with a setting to disable HDCP if a device is buggy. Can anyone confirm that?
Thanks for your time.

[Q] Note 8 (N51XX) - Allshare Cast Dongle problem - Rooted stock rom

Hi,
I am using rooted stock rom from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2332999
With this rom, I am unable to connect to my allshare Cast Dongle.
Then I found it might be about being rooted.
So, I applied the fix with TriangleAway to reset flash counter.
However, even after reset with Tirangleaway, the download screen shows flash counter 1.
I guess that's because of the behaviour of new bootloader.
But this way I still can't connect to my Allshare Cast Dongle.
It connects than says it's disconnected.
Is there anyone who successfully connects to allshare Cast Dongle from Note 8 ?
Is there anyone who successfully connects to allshare Cast Dongle from Note 8 with a rooted rom ?
Btw, I also installed stock recovery to have flash counter 0 but it didn't help.
Please help me.

This guide works on my note 8 w/ rooted stock + custom kernel..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2165882
My device status stays "Official", that probably what is needed to get the allshare cast working.
EDIT:
apparently it doesn't work.
Flash counter need to be zero for allshare cast to work = stock kernel and recovery.

Technically it wouldn't be a bad idea from a legal and membership perspective for Samsung to cause an HDCP or other fall on rooted devices.

I am thinking of getting the AllShareCast dongle and I have the N5100 which is rooted. It's just disappointing to hear that it doesn't work on a rooted device. Can anyone out there confirm that there is a way for it to work on a root? Are there alternate wireless HDMI dongles that work with the Note 8?

rooted stock Galaxy Note 8 GT-N5100

I believe the Netgear PTV3000 or whatever it is and possibly the older model, should work as should Miracast capable dongles in general. YMMV however, especially over HDCP. I know the S3 and Nexus 4 Miracast take different details on it.
From a serious use perspective as someone that owns both Samsung's MHL and Miracast adapters, it's not a big loss unless you actually need the wireless. You can get 1080p30 out of the wired adapter and solid performance, despite the loss of the MicroUSB port, this is pretty good stuff. You can even use MultiWindow while using the MHL but not while using Miracast. Using the AllShare Cast dongle you can get 720p (I forget the frame rate) and a latency that slingshots wildly (even the best systems are still 60ms or worse I believe). On top of that because of the Wi-Fi direct connection, latency is going to be worse if your dongle isn't dual band and things that auto scale video quality to network bandwidth are liable to degrade.
Using the Samsung dongle, artifacts and codec issues are quite common, and the latency makes it only suitable for video playback and "Producitivty" apps. Gaming with it is a failure waiting to happen, in so much as something like Shadowgun or Dead Trigger goes. Where as it is very pleasent with the MHL adapter.

I'm surprised to see that there are others with same problem on Note 8 and Allshare Cast dongle.
Is there any Note 8 user with rooted rom and capable of using the dongle ?
Also, I didn't understand about the miracast discussion. as far as I know, our Note 8 does not have miracast software included. (at least with official samsung rom)
how do you use miracast ?
is Netgear PTV3000 a miracast client/dongle ?

What if you turn off root and make sure root app is in data and not in system /APP.
It is the same with readershub, if the superuser or supersu app is in system it wont work.
that is why in my custom rom I put it in data.

I noticed that. But then I wrote the last situation with your kernel and v2.90
But withthat config (v2.90 on your kernel) I am unable to reset the counter.
First of all, the app does not boot the device as in v3.0. It says the counter is reset but it does not reset. When I reopen the app or check on status I see flash counter 2.

I'd appreciate any answers.

AllShare Cast is Samsung's name for Miracast or WiDi, much the same that AllShare Play (now Samsung Link) was their name for their DLNA software. The modern firmware supports Miracast, to my understanding the Netgear miracast dongles devices work and have better performing codecs. HDCP issues between the various dongles, TouchWiz, CyanogenMod, and Nexus ROMs cause some compatability issues. A couple CyanogenMod developers have posted at length about this on Google Plus: the HDCP differences between dongles/ROMs, what works with what, and the performance of the dongles and various phones hardware/firmware.
Basically if you're using "AllShare Cast", you are using Miracast.
I have not invested in the Netgear dongles for my own testing because the wired connection is best for my purposes (playing games and Netflix streaming). My Galaxy S3 and Note 8.0 are the only devices that I have that support Miracast, so I can't test the dongle with other stuff.
BTW the models of some Galaxy devices are certified Miracast (the GT-I9300 GS3 was, I assume the international S4's are).

Thanks for the information.
So, the Netgear dongle is in fact usable with Allshare Cast ?
Does it perform better ?
Does it have the issue with rooted firmwares ?
I am using rooted N5100 rom on a N5105 and Allshare Cast Dongle does not stay connected because the system is modified.
If Netgear doesn't have this problem I will order one.

As you can see my status with my custom rom and kernel.
I press the reset counter and it just resets it to 0.
No reboot needed.
If I reboot or even flash a new custom rom it stays at 0 because of the Option "Auto reset at boot".

I understand that it works on your N5100 but in fact my device is N5105.
it might be because that my device is in fact a N5105 and I use stock N5100 rom (there is no stock N5105 rom that I could find)
My bootloader says N5105 so the system sets flash counter when booting.
A possible solution would be changing bootloader making the deive completely N5100, but I don't know if that's possible. Is it ? How ?

Allshare cast update available - ME29

Just got ME29 firmware update, and i think it takes away the lag i used to see before.
Screen mirroring from my s3 and note10.1 is much faster now!
I think they have added true HD support for mirroring now.... i am guessing in preparation for note 3 release.

Hello.
I updated my Allsharecast doungle to latest version ME29, and also got the connectivity problem.
The solution was to disconenct the Allshare Cast Doungle from my Yamaha receiver and connect it directly to my Samsung TV HDMI port. This solved the problem ( a RESET was also needed ). Hope it helps !!!!!!

I updated my Allsharecast doungle to latest version ME29, and since then i am unable to sync my Galaxy Note2 to the device. The connection will always fail, and i lost my mirroring capability.
Before the upgrade it was working just fine.
Anyone with similar problem, and any idea how to fix it or go back to previous version?
Thanks

I've got exactly the same problem. With the version before it was working. After the update the connection failes every time.
I'm on stock kernel and checked flash counter and reset it. No help anyway. I hope Samsung is going to fix this. Is there anyone with a note 2 on which it is working with the new version ME29?
Damn...

Exactly the same problem, but with an S3. Worked fine rooted with the previous dongle version, connection now always disconnects after 10 seconds with ME29.
If anyone is thinking of upgrading and is rooted, I'd hold on until this is resolved - the dongle is essentially useless for me now. FFS Samsung!

Same issue, not with root

Hi all,
Updated my dongle to ME29 as well and none of my devices can connect to it either. Well noted is that none of them are rooted, so root has nothing to do with the issue! Have tried with both galaxy s3 and galaxy note 8.0.
Hope Sammy fixes it really soon!
Ps. Another thing was that the update also changed my device name which didn't happen on the last update...

Hello,
Exactly the same thing with an S3 and "multiple windows" are activated by themselves.

I have stock, unrooted note 10.1 tablet and att s3 cell.
I can connect fine as mentioned in OP.
So maybe its rooted phones that have this issue.

Upgraded my galaxy s3 to 4.1.2, and can confirm that allshare dongle still works nicely.
So it may be phones with modified or custom status that are now having issues.

To further confuse the situation, it seems my rooted s3 connects fine to the ME29 dongle when it is plugged directly into my Sony TV. It doesn't work at all via my Onkyo AV receiver.
Both worked fine on the previous version, so it looks like the update makes some kinds of connections to certain devices unstable or impossible.
Other threads posted seem to clarify this, perhaps due to it not waiting long enough to negotiate the HDCP connection on some TVs and projectors.
It certainly doesn't seem related to having rooted the phone. I've just watched a full film without issue on the working TV using Allshare.
Hopefully Samsung will note and address this issue quickly.

no problem
Hello,
I have rooted galaxy note 10.1, I update allshare cast dongle to ME29 version.
There is no problem at all. The tablet connected to the dongle and I used it more than twenty minutes without any disconnection.
Anyone try to solve the problem by pushing the reset button in the back of the dongle? (just try)
By the way my TV is Samsung LCD series 3.

Previous version works with Nexus 4.. not now
Samsung is getting more and more proprietary

My Allsharecast dongle with version ME29.
Hello.
I updated my Allsharecast doungle to latest version ME29, and it was a bad decision....after upgrade connection problem...
Solution from few post above:
"The solution was to disconenct the Allshare Cast Doungle from my Yamaha receiver and connect it directly to my Samsung TV HDMI port. This solved the problem ( a RESET was also needed ). Hope it helps !!!!!! "
in my case dongle not working with Pioneer receiver and Epson projector.

I have the same problem with denon receiver. Is any way to fix it?
If I connect directly with LG TV it is works.

Same problem with my onkyo receiver just spent 45 minutes on the phone with Samsung support and got nowhere. GN2 Beans Build 21

Have tried contact with Samsung Support multiple times regarding this but they do not even seem to acknowledge the problem, still want me to do a factory reset of my phone... *sigh*.
As the rest, works perfectly connected directly to the TV but I can forget about the reciever. Have tried to find a way to revert firmware but seems impossible, has anyone got a clue how to go back to the previous dongle firmware?

can anyone tell me if (in the end) it is possible to have two remembered devices? e.g. two phones in the house... I've heard that in order to do this you need to reset de dongle each time you wanna connect a second phone...
any inputs?

[Q] [SM-T805] Can't enable screen mirroring

Hello, so I've just bought the 10"5 Tab S and I can't enable screen mirroring.
My TV is a Sony KDL-40R470B, I can enable the screen mirroring just fine with Galaxy Note 3, but not the Tab S.
Any idea how I could solve this ?

And, this spanking new Tab S 10.5 doesn't even support Chromecast Screen Mirroring either! Come-on Samsung!!!
I was only successful wireless screen mirroring to an old Samsung miracast device. So, other than using an HDMI adapter tethered, it seems the initial firmware out of the box on the Tab S is ancient technology compared to the Note Tabs and Galaxy phones which can screen mirror to Chromecast.

I would think Chromecast screen mirroring problem would lie with Google and the Chromecast app not Samsung.
If you are rooted you can use the below app to enable it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2812193

Just more android fragmentation garbage apparently.
I found this article a good read though, but it just leaves an Android user in the blind about what supported features will be available.
http://allaboutchromecast.com/chrom...-about-wireless-display-and-screen-mirroring/

Thing is, I'm not using chromecast, I have a smart TV and just enable mirroring with Wi-Fi, I didn't plug anything on the TV.
Works flawlessly with the note 3, but can't enable it on the tab S.
Would that app be worth trying in my case ?

Fixed?

So after 20 minutes of this I sorted it out. I had a private internet access app running so that all my traffic is encrypted and routed overseas. It just sets up a VPN, so I think if you have a VPN running then it won't work. That was my problem, hopefully this helps you.

Smartview Not Mirroring Properly

I think Samsung borked something up in Android 10. or at least in its Smartview app. I am unable to mirror to a Miracast WiFi adaptor, nor to a Miracast enabled TV. I enabled Miracast on a Sony TV and connected my Note 10+ to it. It connected to the TV, but it is not mirroring my phone's screen. It will show my photos and videos I have in Gallery, but it won't cast a video from Netflix, Disney+, Prime Video, or Movies Anywhere. I tried it with a Microsoft Wireless Display Adaptor and got the same results.
My Galaxy Tab S5e has no problems mirroring to a Miracast TV or Miracast wireless adaptor. I connected and mirrored my Tab S5e to the exact same devices my Note 10+ connected to. I had no problems playing content from the same apps that I tried on my phone. My Tab S5e is running Android 9
Before I upgraded to Android 10, I had no problems mirroring my phone screen using Miracast.
I have tried rebooting my phone, clearing the cache on both Smartview and the phone, and clearing the data on Smartview. I have also reset my network connections on my phone.

You might have it in Dex mode instead of mirror mode

How do you try to mirror your screen?
Because i go in smart view and from there in smart things. There i have the option to mirror my screen on to my TV.

That is correct. It connects to the TV and Miracast adapter, and shows a borked up version of my phone's screen.
I get the same results with and without Smart Things installed.

Yes. I've even tried a couple 3rd party Miracast mirroring apps and got identical results. Samsung borked up something either in Smartview or Android 10. I'm thinking Smartview is the problem.
I just tried it on my Samsung smart TV and got identical results. I couldn't get it to mirror properly on three different devices: a Sony TV, a Microsoft Wirelles Display Adaptor, and a Samsung Smart TV. It could be an issue with DeX, but I can't find where to check.

Can't claim that the smartview is the problem because i don't have any problems what so ever!

What model Note 10 are you using? I have the Verizon Note 10+ 5G. I did not have this problem on Android 9. My Tab S5e (Verizon), which is still on Android 9 is having no issues screen mirroring.

I just discovered that my Samsung TV won't mirror to my phone. When I try to mirror from TV to phone, all I get is the audio. I don't get the picture. Before upgrading to Android 10, I could watch what was on my TV on my phone (comes in handy when I am in the kitchen).

Yes. As well as clearing app cache and app data for Smart View. And it is a fact that my phone is not screen mirroring properly, not an opinion.
I'm tempted to do a factory reset. I just don't want to go through the butt pain of setting everything back up.

I think Smart View is a buggy thing. My phone won’t connect unless the source is set other than HDMI 1 (Sky). Even then I can’t set it to watch TV on my phone.
For me, the most annoying is the fact that I can’t zoom in while playing video in Smart View, like I can when playing it on the phone. Every time I try, I get the error on phone: “Zoom is not supported for this video size (176 x 144)” I’ve no idea what that means, whether it’s to do with Smart View, the Video Player or the TV its self.
Has anyone tried it?

My 10+ won't mirror, but my galaxy tab 4 works perfect.
Maybe it is the phones. Maybe it works flawlessly with Samsung TVs only.

You are not alone brother! I am having same issue with my a70 after android 10 upgrade. Thank you.

Looks like Sammy is deprecating Smart View come October so likely not going to be investing much in fixing defects.

Btw, I also tried it using both One UI and Microsoft Launcher and neither worked. I'm wondering if it is because of DRM.
