[Q] Imaginary Dongle - Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there, I did a factory reset on my S4 mini and it looked ok for a while, but then all of a sudden I got this notification:
"Dongle firmware updated. The firmware for the AllShare Cast dongle has been updated. Tap here to enable Screen Mirroring".
The thing is that I do NOT have any "dongle" installed, attached or in any way connected to the phone. In fact I have no idea what this dongle thing is, so what is this all about ?. I am concerned that it may be a virus or some other malware.
By the way, I never got this message before doing the factory reset.
Oh, and I cannot see any AllShare Cast app in the list of apps on the phone, nor did I ever install one before !!.

Thank you SilviuMik, much appreciated :victory:
I wonder if the fact that I had the phone connected to my laptop at the time (via USB) had anything to do with it ?

[Q] ARLiberator/AllShare Cast and my S3...

I rooted my S3 so I could use ARLiberator with the AppRadio2. I am using the AllShare Cast dongle with the AppRadio to make it all work wirelessly. After I rooted my phone, the AllShare Cast option in my settings was gone. So, (keep in mind I'm a noob) when I got the notice my phone was due for an Over the Air update, I did it. Good news, it didn't brick my phone and I got AllShare Cast back. Bad news, it took my root away.
So, I need to know where I can find a 100% stock image that just injects root that I can do via Odin. The only reason I have to root right now is to get this working with AppRadio. In the future I may get more crazy with other ROMs, but right now I just want this to work.
Can someone point me to a safe tar file that is the root for a stock image on the AT&T SGS-i747 that is the most current?
Thanks.
AND, if there's anything else I need to know, please inform away! The root I did last time didn't add to my counter, so I'm kinda hoping that any new root I do won't either. If it does, I guess that is okay as long as the triangle app I've read about can fix it.
Again, thanks for any and all input. I'm learning as fast as I can.

Take a look here, look for the stock image with root injected into it. I am also using Allshare Cast with Arliberator - how is it working out for you? I have some issues where my subwoofer will turn off sometimes, but if I press the menu button on the Appradio to launch voice commands, then click back, the subwoofer will turn on. Weird...
I've been eyeballing this setup. Do either of you have Tasker? I'm wondering if it can be setup so that I don't even have to take my phone out of my pocket. Do you have to manually press a button on the Allshare dongle every time you get in the car or will it connect automatically after the initial setup?
Thanks,
Bodie
As long as arliberator is running on the phone, it should connect automatically. MOST of the time. I've changed to the wired setup using the Samsung mhl adapter. I never got the sound quality to be good using the all share cast dongle. Since I really wanted to run Pandora,sirius xm and other music apps from my phone,this was really a bust for me. I also went through the counterfeit dongle issues. I bought one on Amazon and got all the snow issues I've read other people had. I went to Samsung's website and bought it directly through them, and I've had no problems since. I've been running it a week with that setup and have had no issues. It just works like it should. I had connection issues with all share cast With it stopping at random. I'm very hopeful that all my trial and error is over.

Miracast to Sony TV ?

Hello Everyone,
I was wondering if anyone has been able to screen mirror via miracast their Tab S to a non Samsung TV without using a dongle (to a miracast capable TV)?
Thank you for taking the time to look and especially if you can help!
-T
Yes,
I was able to connect my Tab S 10.5, 32GB version to a Sony KDL-65W850A television without any dongles, or problems at all.

You bet! All I had to do was turn on the screen mirroring by pushing the "screen mirroring button" located in the drop down menu(the toolbar that shows up when you pull down the notification bar, sorry, I can't think of the actual name of the menu right now). Then go to your TV and go to the input menu and scroll over to the right and you should see an input for a wireless device, or something to that effect. Click on that input and it will start searching for your tablet. The first time I had to restart the scan from my tablet because the television didn't find it. Almost instantly after restarting the scan from my tablet, the television found it. I'm not by my TV now, but if I remember correctly, the very first time you try to connect a new device, the TV comes up with a list of devices and you have to click on the tablet. After the TV has successfully connected with a device, all that needs to be done next time is simply turn your mirroring on, and click the wireless device input on your TV, and it will connect without having to choose your device from a list. That's all I had to do. Good luck!
Sounds good! I have a w905, so hopefully it works as well as for you. Thanks for the help!

Just got my Samsung Tab S 10.5 last night. Have a Sony KDL-55HX800 tv.
I followed your instructions above, but my tv is not detected by the tablet.
Both the tablet and tv are on the same network.
Is my tv too old?
Any help, greatly appreciated.

Hello,
I did a little checking around for you. From what I read on Sony's website, it looks to me like a USB adapter is required for a wireless network connection. The adapter is a UWA-BR100, but after doing some research on the adapter, it looks like it won't work for miracast. Now, I couldn't find it on Sony's website, but several people made the comment that the adapter specifications state that it does support miracast, although nobody seemed to have been able to get it working. It may be possible to wirelessly stream through the adapter, but I wasn't able to find anybody that had been successful. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

I have a Chromecast, and am hoping the Tab S gets the update for screen mirroring that way. Just thought I might be able to do it before the update.

Also having Mirroring issues
I also have a Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) that is having issues with mirroring. I have an older TV and purchased a Netgear Push2TV device PTV3000 for wireless mirroring. When I try to connect to the Netgear device the Tablet usually fails to connect and displays the "unable to connect because of a hardware problem". I have been able to get it to connect, however, if I reboot the tablet, but if you disconnect and try to reconnect it will display the same error message.
Even if you do get it to connect it will drop out like clockwork about every 3-5 minutes. I tried to stream a movie to it and locked up every 3-5 minutes all the way through over and over. The movie will just freeze and then the tablet It will display something like "lost connection to the server " and you can report or reconnect. It will reconnect and start back where it left off, but quit again in 3-5 minutes. Very frustrating for a brand new 600 dollar device.
This is most likely a software problem if you don't have any trouble with your wifi connection.
I do not have any reason to believe my WIFI has any issues. I can stream the movie to the Samsung Tablet without any problem, it's only when I try to use the mirroring that problems occur. Also, I was able to mirror using the exact same setup with an android phone I had laying around that's about 3 years old and was able to 1) connect to the Push2TV much more readily 2) stream the movie without it locking up every 3-5 minutes.
I just bought a brand new Samsung smart TV 7250 series. Exact same problem. P600, US, totally stock. Not even root.

I just got the ptv3000, updated the firmware, and can connect no problems, except for the fact that it only mirrors a corner of my screen (only 1080p out of 1600p of the tab). I just can't figure out what to do. Yet I also saw that others had got it working. Why is it difficult with this tab.

Rooted or not?

Hi There, No need to worry. Please read below the fix.
Alright, here is the Fix for this. Please spread the word if this works for you. Because it worked for me. I didn't discover this solution so I can't take credit for this. Here it goes:
1. On your Note Pro/Tab Pro find All Share Cast from Samsung and UnInstall all the updates. Then click Force Close, all of this should be done in Application Manager.
2. Restart your Note Pro/Tab Pro (Very Important)
3. Using two fingers pull down the main screen from top down to unveil the controls menu. Touch Screen Sharing while the Miracast or other screen sharing service (Wifi Direct etc) is activated on Your TV.
4. Let it auto find it and auto connect..........Viola!

So I contacted Samsung customer support regarding this problem.
The first contact, they required me to do a factory reset, so in order to go any farther, I did that.
Once that was done, and the problem still existed, even before doing any updates or anything, I contacted Samsung Support again.
This time, they told me that I would have to send it in for repair at my expense (because mine is out of warranty; which pisses me off, because it was less than 3 weeks out of warranty.) Mind you, they never could tell me what the cost would be.
So apparently, I'm just not going to be able to screen cast from my SAMSUNG tablet to my SAMSUNG TV... even though screencasting from my Moto X works perfectly fine...
I do have squaretrade, but I'm not sure I want to claim that warranty just because of some screen mirroring not working...

All Share Cast has been replaced by Samsung Link. Screen Mirror works in Chromecast app on S5 and Note 10.1 (2014) but uses the network so has some lag. Screen Mirror works with Microsoft Display Adapter on S5 without network or lag but get the hardware error on stock Note 10.1 (2014). Tried the All Share Cast Patch and that did not work either. Still looking.

[Q] Chromecast Partially Working

Hi, Has anyone been able to get Chromecast to work with our M9?...Please let me know if there is a hidden setting to turn it on or something else. I am able to connect to all my devices but my Chromecast and my Nvidia Shield tablet connects ok with it so the device is working.
Thanks.
Chingonazo
Works fine on my M9, no special setup required.
I had it paired with an HTC One X. Got the M9 and downloaded the Chromecast app, launched and it found it and connected fine and casts with no issues.
Maybe try clearing data and cache in the app defaults or a factory reset on the Chromecast itself?

Hi ZombieSuffer, I appreciate the suggestion, I did that but still no go, Just so I am clear what my issue is, I can cast individual apps but I am not able to mirror the entire phone like I can do with my M7 or Shield tablet. I Also tested it with my Roku 3 player and same problem.
Thanks
Chingonazo
Oh, I see. Not sure if this helps but I found a thread around 9 months old that might have some steps you can run through to get it to mirror.

I still didn't find any apps that have this feature. I just installed the Stock ROM again after completely wipe data and factory reset in stock recovery. Then turn off the battery saving mode and tap on Quick Connect section. I get the sound and the image. My phone model is N910H.
Only problem is the poor reception of some TV channels. Voice boosting programs are also mostly fake, and I think it needs root access that it will stop this feature.
I hope you find a way to solve your problem.
