I've read Miracast works if your components are compatible (wifi).
"Thanks to AllShare you can also mirror your mobile device screen to the bigger HDTV via Wi-Fi Direct and the widely supported Miracast protocol - that would even allow you to play mobile games on the biggest screen in your living room. You don't need to have a Samsung TV for that to work, but it needs to have Wi-Fi connectivity and support Miracast." http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_tab_pro_8_4-review-1042p10.php

AllShare Cast wireless streaming dongle necessary if TV already has allshare?

Is there any advantage at all of purchasing a AllShare Cast wireless streaming dongle if my tv already has AllShare?
Can a Samsung Galaxy S3 stream video to two AllShare devices at once? (ie a tv with AllShare and a wireless dongle attached to a monitor)

The dongle is meant for non allshare tv... if you already have it on yours its already a compatible device and don't need the dongle. And yes it can share all at same time that's why its called allshare. The commercials showing multiple people looking at the same thing are real
But don't confuse allshare cast and allshare play. Cast makes the tv mimic everything you see on the phones screen. Allshare play is just DLNA file sharing

Thanks for the info! Whats the difference between allshare cast and allshare play (DLNA)? if my tv has allshare cast will it be faster than if I use a wireless dongle?
If I'm streaming to a tv with allshare cast and a wireless dongle to a monitor at the same time, will one be a bit slower than the other, or will the two be synced up?

first of all only the latest latest smart tv's can do allshare cast, second you need to have that app installed and it isn't out yet for most tv's, third, it isn't available to the mid to low end line, only the higher series have it
Hey guys, I just made a video explaining Allshare play/cast with examples in my Samsung TV! LE40C650 2010 model.
With the Allshare mobile app you can remotely access your pc and stream video in your tv. I show that!
My TV doesn't have AllShare Cast.
AllShare play starts @ 1:10

How can you be streaming through allshare if you tv does not have allshare??
I'm Greek but my youtube video has English subtitles click the "cc" button. All I said was that it doesn't have "AllShare Cast" which is a special feature.
It has the good old simple "AllShare play" feature!
This site says that any tv with dlna and wifi is ok.

AllShare Cast you can mirror the screen of your phone and play games in your big TV.
(2013 Samsung smart TVs models OR any TV with the AllShare Cast Dongle).

My TV is an older Samsung model and it doesn't have allshare cast, what you see in my video(the gaming part) is not real, it is for demonstration purposes only. (It's a video playing in TV and in the Galaxy S3)
Can any of the Samsung Monitors do this?
Is there a list of Samsung products that have allshare?
i found out with this program on android called : playto samsung tv
one can send video and other social videostuff to the tv.. strange thing when it starts playing on the tv just before its telling me it cant play the file i see the desktop of my s3 on my ES8000 tv :cyclops:,, this sorta seems to be able to stream the desktop to the tv so it seems. i cannot find any allcast stuff though. someone hopefully can make a program to establish this without the dongle as it seems working somewhat allready ?

screen mirroring and video streaming to HDTV?

I am looking to find a good device that's compatible with my 10.1 2014 edition Note, and will stream video, along with screen mirroring if possible, all to my HDTV. I have a 32" Samsung smart TV that does this flawlessly but I want to also be able to do this with my 42" Panasonic Plasma TV (It has USB ports but does not appear to have DLNA or any method of streaming video since it does not have wifi built in.) I know there's the Samsung brand Allshare device, but I've heard quite a bit of negative feedback about it. Ultimately I want something that will be reliable, and will also stream 1080p video. I saw that there are various Miracast devices, but many that I have seen do not have especially great reviews. I saw that the Roku devices can send video to an HDTV but it seems that they only do this with select Android devices, and I wasn't able to find a list of compatible devices on the Roku.com website. Lastly I was also thinking that I could possibly stream video to my Panasonic TV if I got a wifi USB stick, but I'm not sure if this would allow DLNA/video streaming. Any help with finding a device for my tablet that would allow me to stream video to my TV would be most appreciated.

I've the AllShare Cast Hub and if work well with Note 10.1.
Better than using S3 or S4. With them I've a lot of random disconnections.
Unfortunately AllShare Cast Hub stream only at 720p ancd not at 1080p. On the box I can read 1080p, but I've NEVER got this kind of connection with S3, S4 or Note 10.1.
Thanks for the reply. I'll definitely consider the Allshare box, although I may just go with a hard wired MHL2 connection since I really want to get 1080p.
Just found this IOGEAR box that isn't released till 12/20/2013, yet it looks like it may be exactly what I'm looking for! http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16815290053
Guess I'll have to wait till its released to see how it performs, and if it works well with my tablet.
It's not screen mirroring, but have you checked out Google Chromecast? I don't have one, but it looks promising and may be the simplest and cheapest solution for what you're looking for.
Do you have a Samsung smart tv? I have a 6500 and my s4 and this note 10.1 2014 screen mirrors fine in 1080. It may be the TV you have? If you don't have a Samsung smart TV the the All share hub is likely what you're looking at to achieve your goal.

I tried the Chromecast and wasn't satisfied. On lifejacket there's a good article about the pros and con's http://lifehacker.com/google-chromecast-does-it-deserve-a-place-in-your-livi-945082974
I think a Roku will be a good solution for many people, but if you take time to read about all the miracast products you may find a really good and inexpensive way to do it.

I got the Netgear Push2tv, had it for a few days and returned it. Even with the latest firmware it frequently disconnected. I just got that iOgear box I linked above and it works flawlessly, all in 1080p.
I have been looking for a way to connect my note to my TV. My TV is 4 years old and not smart lol. So this IOGear box just streams files? or does it mirror the tablet on the tv? I use VLC player on my note. Is the playback sluggish or fast enough to watch large files?

I have an older plasma Panasonic that is somewhat "smart" but doesn't have built in wifi. The ioGear will work with just about any tv but I definitely needs an hdmi input, and I believe a usb input. Streaming runs beautifully even when running 1080p video files that are over 2 GB. I use MX player (the free version.)

Note 8 to LG Smart TV, what are my options?

I'm currently running rooted stock Jelly Bean 4.1(with plans to flash official Kitkat) and I'm looking into getting a smart TV most likely an LG. The model I'm considering has the following inbuilt 'smart' share options:
Google DIAL
MIRACAST Screen Share
MHL Screen Share
WiDi
The TV has these connectivity options:
WiFi Ready(wifi not built in, needs adapter)
WiFi Direct
Simplink
I know DIAL is a new thing without much traction right now, WiDi is exclusive to Intel devices. I'm particularly keen on wireless screen mirroring to the TV, so my questions are:
-Can I connect seamlessly via Miracast with my Note 8?
-Which currently available android version on our device works best for screen mirroring(4.1, 4.2 or 4.4)?
-Is Allshare any specific app necessary to mirror my screen or is it natively supported by the ROM?
-Will it be beneficial to buy a chromecast? Will it work with the Note 8?
I've scoured through the Note 8 forums and screen mirroring isn't mentioned a whioe lot and often just in passing. There are many posts concerning allshare not working with rooted stock ROMs, but many of these are old posts from last year. There's hardly mention of screen mirroring on Kitkat. Any information will be greatly appreciated.

Not sure about LG being 100% compatible... I have a 2009 Samsung with DNLA and AnyLink+
The AnyLink+ connects any Samsung device with automatic turn on and input change. Plus it will turn off the TV if the device should turn off.
From what I see the LG should do what you need as AnyNet+ is really not a requirement.

Miracast is the feature called Screen Mirroring on the quick action bar.
As for Samsung Link / All Share, there are some latency issues but with Chinese Miracast/DLNA dongles some provide very fast response to limit latency.
All Share is the same thing as Link... both use Samsung's Miracast... depending on your Samsung updates, you should have an All Share firmware update installed to the tablet. Once you connect with the All Share device the firmware is automatically updated.

I think I have to come clean on something, I'm still on JB 4.1.2, and all I HAD was allshare, I deleted/debloated it after rooting. So I don't have the app anymore but I want to know if the more recent stock ROMs have a Miracast function separate from Allshare that can connect the tablet to a miracast enabled TV.

If you want to stream films I beleive Plex with a (paid) plex pass will let your stream movies from your Tab to an xbox. I stream from my tab to my computer and TV. I quick searched and saw there is a Plex for XBOX 360 and One.
Ok. Thanks a lot guys. How rubbish is that though. It seems they have taken steps backwards with the tabs. I seen that plex, and seen you had to pay. Might as well get a usb to hdmi cable. Ahh well. Back to the drawing board. Thanks aagain

Galaxy Tab S mirroring problems

I have a Galaxy Tab S (Android 5.021) and am mirroring to a 58" HDTV using Microsoft Wireless Display Adapter.
The picture looks fine on the Tab S but is compressed 3 inches on each side of the TV (vertical black bars).
Additionally the sound lags the picture by about a half second or more and the picture occasionally judders, both of which can be seen on the tablet screen. I've experienced 2 lockups while trying to get things working. Will these problems be corrected with Android 5.1 and when will it be available for the Tab S?
Screen mirroring sucks for trying to stream video, I've never had any success with it on any Samsung device. Personally I'd just get a cable.
No problems with chromecast mirroring, but I wouldn't mirror anyway because you don't need to with a chromecast.

The Tab S mirrors flawlessly with my Windows 8 .1 laptop.
So what am I missing then? Because I tried with a Galaxy S3, S5 with Chromecast and a Tab S and none of them streamed video without screen lag.

Not talking screen lag, which microseconds, I am referring to sound lagging the picture - i.e. severe lip-sync.

What I mean is, for what reason would you ever have to use screen mirroring when everything can be streamed directly?
Anything local, anything on a media server and anything from the Internet can all be streamed directly.
Well, I was emulating SNES games via my GS3 and was going to play the old Mario games on a TV bigger screen - But couldn't because of the lag.

Yeah tht's what I was going to do, then I got a tablet. 10.5 inch screen is big enough to play some retro snes on.

Yesterday, I discovered that the tablet aspect ratio 16:10 vs 16:9 on the TV - which explains the black bars. Dumb mirroring devices do not adjust the tablet's aspect ratio to fill the TV screen as casting devices, such as Chromecast, do. However some android apps will resize their output so that it will fill the screen even with a mirroring device such as the MWDA.
For some unknown reason, my other problems have disappeared (for now).
