I have the 50 percent coupon for the samsung s3 accessories. I am currently Looking at the allshare cast for only $50 which is pretty good but it says that it is only compatible for t-mobile or sprint. I have been looking at some custom roms that are sprint or t-mobile based for our at&t and wondering anyones experiences in making these allshare cast wireless hub to work with our at&t phones. If it works can you list the rom you put in and what you had to make it work. Thanks!
Are you talking about the allshare cast dongle? If you are and you have an at&t galaxy s3 i747. Then your phone is already compatible. It should off been installed on your s3 with the latest update.

do you see "Allshare Cast" in "more settings" under wifi and bluetooth settings?
Thats what you need. I believe it was enabled in one of the latest updates
I think what the OP is referring to is the fact that on Samsung's site, where you can use the 50% off coupon on an accessory, under the Allshare Cast it doesn't list it as being compatible with the AT&T GSIII. I have the same question since I've also got the 50% off coupon and I'd like to pick one of these up. But obviously we want to make sure it works with the AT&T version first.
It may be that Samsung just hasn't updated the page yet, since the AT&T GSIII just recently got the app in the updated firmware.

Here ya go. I followed the OP in this thread and had my coupon in an hour or so.

*edit* I just realized there isn't much as far as instructions in that thread...lol. All you need to do is head over to Samsung's website and register. They'll send you a specific code a little while after that.
I'm already registered for Samsung.com, I looked through my e-mails and never received any coupons.
I am currently using a tmobile based leaked rom and it does have the setting but I need peoples input if custom roms will work. Would like to know also about the at&t update if it works with allshare cast.
My only reason for allshare cast is to use xbmc on my tv and controlling it wirelessly with my phone . Making it a complete multimedia phone. If the wireless charger came out also, ill be one happy camper lol.

I have now confirmed that allshare cast wireless hub will work with at&t now. I will be buying it for sure! Ill see if I can get a first impression when I get it. Also will test if custom leaked roms from tmobile and sprint will work with it also.
Just received mine yesterday and it works great on my att phone.
I did hear though that there are a lot of problems with custom roms.

I am on AT&T too & I just ordered mine (the allshare cast), the samsung sales agent says that it might not work on AT&T Galaxy SIII. But I went ahead and ordered it looking at the info posted by you . Thank you.
Currently I am running 'NexusMod-Triune-II-(UX)-20120918' and I do see the 'Allshare Cast' switch in the settings. However, I could not get it to work with my samsung Blueray DVD player BD E7500 which does support allshare (I play videos from my PC onto TV via this DVD player using allshare...that confirmed that the DVD player is good). I also tried going back to 'Stock_rooted_Odexed_UCALH9' ROM, but still no luck.
Just hoping it would work with the 'allshare cast dongle'.
Could you please let us know what ROM are you on ? just in case if it doesn't work I can look around and flash the same ROM.
btw, here is a 50% off coupon if anyone wants to use it. 'rE155806p'.
Thank you in advance.

Guys,
I bought an unlocked ATT Galaxy S3 and the Allshare Cast Dongle. But I dont see the Allshare cast option in settings. If there is an update how can I update my phone.
Any help is appreciated.
Got it yesterday..followed the steps .. it says connected ..but disconnects immediately.
So far I tried this with Stock lh9, NexusMod, ASTRIODS Jellybean ROMs with no luck.
Btw - I got the galaxy note 10.1 tablet yesterday & that works great with the allshare cast dongle.

Finally !! got it to work by following the below steps.
1. Went back to UCALH9 Stock via OTA update after flashing back to Stock I747UCALG1 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1896773)
2. Re-Set the counter using Traingle Away and reboot (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=22463153#post22463153)
Further reading some threads, noticed that we have to be on Stock Radio/Modem in addition to having the Allshare Cast option inthe settings and the counter MUST be 0..

Hi,
I have SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 unlocked att phone. I also got the dongle but I am unable to get it to work. How did you get it to work?
Just wanted to share my experience with this device so far.
I confirm it works on AT&T SGS-I747 UCDLK3 stock unrooted.
The very first time it had some difficulty connecting, but I don't recall exactly how I got it to connect. I remember playing with the reset button, plugging/unplugging the power cord, restarting the phone, turning wifi on/off for about 5 minutes until I got connection. Right away the firmware started updating using the "AllShare Cast Dongle S/W Update" app which got installed automatically from the Market a few days earlier.
Now the hub has FW version LJ02 and connects right away every time, and I don't loose connection.
So I've tried different programs to watch videos:
I streamed a 720p movie from my desktop PC, played it with the stock video player. It was a bit choppy but totally viewable.
Netflix: works really good.
Hulu: would be nice EXCEPT sound is lost everytime there's a commercial, so you have to re-sync with the hub everytime and then re-start the phone to regain media volume control.
HBO Go: The movie plays on both TV and phone at the same time (in all other cases the phone screen goes dark). Sounds lags big time and video quality is lower that the other options.
Can anybody get this to work? I'm constantly dropped wifi direct signal with my tv. I successfully got it to mirror for 5 seconds before it froze. And most of the time I can't even get the N7 to detect my tv in the wifi direct settings. While I have my Note2 right next to it, it can detect it no problem.
Anybody have this working flawlessly? I'm also getting random reboots.. so I'll return this tomorrow I guess (16gb)

I was testing this last night. It is finicky but I got it to work pretty well.
Two things to note based on my observation:
1. Rotating the screen during mirroring drops the connection. This has to be a software bug because my S4 does not do this.
2. The wifi antenna seem to be at the top half of the tablet...so if you're in landscape mode, hold the tablet such that you don't have your hand over that portion. I find that the connection quality is extremely dependent on how you hold the tablet.

I don't have the ability to test it, as i don't have a miracast enabled device, but that sounds a lot like the old 'you're holding it wrong,'Apple quip.
I got the same issues as Lolento.
My Netgear Pvt3000 works perfectly fine with my HTC One (ARHD 12.3 rooted). When i connect it to my Nexus7 2013 (Stock rooted) it starts lagging horribly as soon as i swap it into landscape.
Got no solution for that so far. Kinda disappointing.

Exactly...I'll probably flash a Custom Rom...and see if there's any difference.
Used it with the last unofficial cm10.w nightly and then with the official nightly from a few days ago with a rocketfish miracast reciever from best buy. I thought it was strange that it worked because people have been reporting that it doesnt work on CM at all. With the compression decreasing the quality ive just decided to use my chromecast with the new aircast app that koush is testing now. Dont really game on my android devices so didnt really see a point to get frustrated over full mirroring.

How the Netflix app running, smooth?
Netflix runs great on mine. Depending on your connection. If I use my phone for connection and in Sprint spark territory I receive HD content. Same for home network.
Yes Netflix is gorgeous on the 10.5. Give it about 30 seconds or so for the HD movie to buffer and it looks incredible.
The Netflix and youtube apps have been optimized by Samsung for this device. They look spectacular. It's third party video apps that suffer with extreme Pixelation and ghosting in dark scenes. Such as Crackle, Cable Provider Apps and other streaming services.
Mine doesn't even let me activate it, I mean, I'm just entering the app for the first time, when I enter my Email and password is telling me that the device can't be activated, I called Netflix and the only thing they told me was to uninstall it and reinstall it and when I told them that this one came pre-installed that I can't uninstall it just turn it off, he didn't even know what to tell me.
They are telling me to contact Samsung, so go figure...

Please call Netflix and/or Samsung so they know that this isn't an isolated problem and worth together to fix it.
I called Samsung and basically told me to reset to factory, I asked them if they guarantee me that doing that will fix my issue and they couldn't, so I told them that I wasn't in the mood of just wasting hours that took me to set this today just to see if that fixes it and if at least they have a reliable backup solution where I could simply reset and restore I'd do it, but not with the joke they call Kies, and that I have had all their Galaxies s, both Gears and now the Tab S, so I do like them but must admit that their backup solution is a joke and is a shame that they seem to not care about do something at least like LG has.
I called back Netflix and this time they were asking and escalating the call and in waiting for a call back.
Just for curiosity and trying to cover all the bases, are you on the Continental US? I live in Puerto Rico and I'm just wondering if this could be some Region issue.
Just to let you know that after trying all day at the office where I'm the System Manager so I have full online access as usual with all my previous and actual android devices, and after talking to Samsung and Netflix guys I just cane home and guess what, I could activate Netflix without a hiccup, so what can be different with this Netflix app on this Tablet that is the first device that I couldn't activate the Netflix app but everything else was working perfectly, even more, I used the OEM browser and Chrome and went to Netflix and login from there and saw everything perfectly, so the proviene was always the Netflix App.
Let me wait for Netflix call as they haven't call yet and see what they think after I explain this to them.
The Netflix app has worked flawlessly for me from day 1.
Netflix worked for me right from the get go and it was one of the first things I tried when I got my 8.4".
The picture looks great, I'm not even sure what the highest resolution one can stream using Netflix.
I was able to get it working as well. I went into the application manager and uninstalled the update. Then, let it reupdate from the Google Play store and it worked fine.

They never called me yesterday, but after trying at home and worked I'm sure they just re-adjusted something on their end, that's the only explanation why suddenly it worked after not working for a full day, I'm assuming that they just changed something and let me try it again by myself instead of call me, that can explain why yours is working now also. I did what you are mentioning here about 5 times and nothing worked before, so if now is working then maybe something was changed after my couple of calls.

Netflix streams 4k video now, breaking bad, and ghostbusters I know for sure are 4k. I don't know if it will convert or look better though on the Samsung tab S? Let me know if you notice any difference?
I picked up the 8.4 S yesterday and I think it's clear that this is the best device for Netflix I have ever used. I checked out both the 8.4 and the 10.5 at the dealer and felt that the 8.4 was superior due to the pixel density giving it a sharper look.
To some extent I didn't feel the 10.5 was any better than the Note 10.1 2014 and I have always felt that video was a bit blurry on the larger screens. The display density on the 8.4 is just perfect and Netflix and Youtube are impressive.
I got the 10.5. 32Gb. Love it. No problem seeing up Netflix. When I started the the stock Netflix app it requested an update. After that it run smoothly.

I noticed some of you said that Netflix was already installed. For some reason mine wasn't.
I wonder why?
As I thought there was an exclusive Netflix app for the tab s. If I download Netflix from play store is it the same app?
Also for those that have the Netflix app pre installed is it not deletable then?
Mine came with Netflix pre installed. I can't delete it, only uninstall the updates.

The Nexus 7 (2013) can now do full screen casting through Chromecast - I've done it, but the delay between the device and the Chromecast is pretty bad. There is a good 4-6 second delay between the two. It starts off perfect, but quickly slows down. Just wondering how anyone else's experiences are.
I get about 1/3 second lag. What's your router, any g devices?
Mine won't work, I just get FC of google play services (I read some others have the same issue, it's a cleanly installed 4.4.4 stock ROM), not a big deal, I'm not the type who needs to cast the screen from my device anyway, but it's nice to know it's there, it's a beta, so hopefully it will be addressed.
Mine works flawlessly. Little to no latency. I can play Clash of Clans on my TV :good::laugh:
Mine is also working perfectly, pretty cool
I use a Cisco ValetPlus (Wireless N). It's definitely not the router - but I haven't used my Chromecast in months prior to this, maybe it needs an update to enable WiFi Direct or whatever the new protocol is.
If it doesn't work at all, try rebooting the chromecast. Long lag might be interference, change router channel?

I have exactly the same versions. Weird.
Thanks for taking the time to post that though.
My cast screen works perfectly, depending on app in use I might see instances where the audio goes out of sync for a half a second, but virtually no lag whatsoever.
For those keeping score, I think my issue is due to viper4android, casting works fine in android L for me (where there is no viper installed), and based on the logcat in 4.4.4 when it fails it looks like the audio portion is where it crashes, this weekend I will copy my 4.4.4 rom to a secondary slot and remove viper to confirm.
Looks like I may be on the right track: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=54073200&postcount=14279

Newest update to the Chromecast app has it working perfectly.
For some reason my YouTube stopped working after I think about 2 updates ago. When it first stopped working I wasn't worried and figured the next update would probably fix it, but that hasn't happened (I currently have v5.9.4.9). It starts but nothing loads it just continually shows the loading icon (I also tried searching thinking that may work and didn't). I tried clearing cache and data and force stop then re-opening but that did nothing also.
Any ideas?

@Paulx777 the current version of Youtube app is 5.9.0.13 - update it and see what happens.
Tbh the Youtube app has never been bug free on my tablet, at first it had exactly as you describe nothing would load - I did all sorts and finally figured out it was my wifi router being the problem so try a different wifi connection and see what happens.
Once that was fixed it would take ages to load and now it no longer updates my history. I just think this tablet and youtube aint the best of friends haha.
P.s. is 777 in your name refering to Boeing 777? Jus curious lol.

It's definitely something wrong with the YouTube update because I went in and clicked "Uninstall Updates" and whatever version it reverted back to worked perfectly. Plus, if you look at YouTube's Google Play ratings/reviews, a lot of people have been giving the update one star our dropping their rating from five stars to one for the same reasons...YouTube doesn't load, they get no picture and only hear sound, etc. And there's a bunch of complaints, they can't all be from Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 Edition owners.
P.S. no, when I created the sn I put in Paul7 (I play baseball and 7 is my number) but it wasn't available, so this was what was available.
