I have this Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 (GT-N5100), which had been working quite well before, (including screen mirroring), but I abandoned it for a while. I later decided to be making use of it with the Samsung Allshare Dongle with me, but it started giving me this 'Screen mirroring could not work because if Hardware problems'. I browsed out the solution for that, and got it rooted, so as to fix it, using the buil.prop Es File Manager stuff.
But after all these, It plugs in etc... and turns on, but my tablet still says a "A Screen Mirroring update has been downloaded. Restart Screen Mirroring to update".
I have restarted the dongle severally, so also the tablet too, all to no avail, and I really need to make this work.
Any assistance towards this would be greatly appreciated

Hi, I just like to share my experience with problem connection my Galaxy S3 to my 2nd new Samsung Allshare cast dongle. As you can see, I have two Samsung Allshare cast dongles. One in the bedroom, the new one for the sitting room. The first one was bought long time ago and had been working fine. Got latest ME29 firmware. Connection is fast and no problem at all. Now, the price of this dongle has dropped so I proceeded to get myself another one for the sitting room, saving me unplugging it and plugging it, etc.. The new one has the JB version of firmware. The phone detected it without any problem but it kept on showing failed to connect message almost instantly when I tapped on the detected device on the touch screen. This is how I have ended up here at this website. After hours of reading, stock.rom, custome.rom, .pdk, etc.. I was still getting nowhere. But I don't know why. I kept on seeing in my head the blue LED showing on the dongle. Well, stupid of me, I had thrown away the packaging and with it the manual. So, I tried to download it from Samsung website. There is nothing about this dongle on the UK Samsung support website. From my experience with other worldwide hardware companies, so I tried Samsung support website in other countries. And I found a customer commented on another customer's query. So, here is the solution for those people with connection problem after updating the dongle's firmware to ME29. No harm to try this before going down the custom rom route.
After updating the firmware of the Allshare cast dongle, (by the way, my S3 has the latest jelly bean on), it will say Allshare is closed. At the same time, the red LED that was flashing would be solid red now (not flashing). Unplug the power (miniUSB) from the dongle, count to 10 and plug it back. The dongle should be showing a solid red LED now. Press and hold the button at the back of the dongle for about 15 seconds and the red LED should be flashing now. At this point, you can restart your phone just in case. Or just disable the WiFi and then enable it on your S3. Now, go to the dongle, press and hold the button for one or two seconds, the flashing red LED will change to solid BLUE. Now, go to your S3, turn on AllShare. It will detect the dongle. Tap on the detected device on your S3..... lo and behold....it connects!!!!!! Just to repeat, I have not downloaded or mod my S3 in anyway.
The blue LED is only for use in the very first time of connection. So, I guess updating the firmware constitutes a "first time connection" condition. I hope this information help. Good luck all.
What app is used to update dongle? Sorry if this is a NOOB question. ..
Hi,
I have not been able to find an app either on the Google play store or the Sammy app store to upgrade firmware.
The version shown is LJ02. But I seem to have constantly re - pair every time I try to use it.
Help on the firmware elsewhere on the forums someone mentioned there was a better device now (linksys dlink? I don't remember)
TIA - Thanks in advance

This is actually for my brothers phone. He broke the screen on his note 3 (it shows no video at all) so we got the Samsung Smart dock for it. It was working fine until it software updated. Upon rebooting it no longer displays and video through HDMI. I can hear the jingle as the phone boots up and I can assume that the OS is fully loaded as the lights on the keyboard and mouse come on, but still no video. Tried different HDMI cables and TVs but still nothing. I was able to flash firmware NE6 via odin just incase it failed to update on its own, but that still did not change anything. Anyone have any suggestions on how I can get this thing working again?
I've got a note 2, running 4.4.2, a note pro 8.4 running 4.4.2, and an asus win7 computer
i can run sidesync on the pc, connect the note via usb or wifi, and get keyboard/mouse sharing working just flawlessly
as soon as I attempt to do screen sharing, the note2 goes black (which it should) but the virtual phone just loads endlessly, and eventually times out. doesn't matter wifi or usb
if I launch sidesync on the tablet, and then the phone, the tablet see's the phone and attempts to make the connection. phone goes blank, and virtual phone just eventually times out, just like on the pc
has anyone gotten this working on the note 2? is there a specific version that works?
so, 5 minutes after the post, there's windows update notification, and the update is related to samsung USB driver update
do the update, reboot, and holy jebus, screen sharing works!
sorta
now I get connection (usb and wifi work) and I can see the screen mirrored. the phone screen does not black out, but I can't interact with it either. on the pc, I can see the mouse icon turn from spinny blue thing, to solid blue donut, but it does't interact with the phone. I can click the home, back and menu buttons on the bottom of the virtual phone, and they work, but nothing else does
bleh
any ideas?
I have a Samsung Tablet (android 7.0) four CCAs, all on good 5ghz wifi. Ever since the tablet was upgraded to 7.0, it's had an issue where, about half the time, once I select a device to cast to from Spotify/Pandora (either one), it disconnects the WiFi on the tablet. It will physically turn the wifi off, and it will come back on after about 20 seconds. After then it will work for a bit.
I have a LG G5 that has never had this issue. It also is running 7.0.
Could someone shed some light on what is happening when I attempt to cast? Why could it disconnect my tablet WiFi? The wifi comes from a RT-N66U, of which I've tried both old and new firmwares, but it made no difference. I've also done two factory resets on the tablet and turned off battery optimization on Spotify, pandora, and the Home app. Not sure what else to do. Finally, I've also done factory resets on all CCAs. Any input is appreciated. Thanks.
Hello all, was was wondering how screen mirroring is working, I tried lastnight to mirror Hulu to my fire stick, but turning on cast i couldn't detect it, also there was no option for me in Hulu. My girl's IPhone 11 was easy to pick it up, sorry in advance if I'm missing any steps as this is my first one plus phone and coming off of a note 8, thanks!
It's a bug, turn on wifi first.
