Check the app drawer Gf got Samsung note and there's an app called all share
Sent from my HTC Desire HD A9191 using XDA

There must be an All Share application in the app drawer..

I havr an allshare play icon,, but it only allows to access nearby media files
According to the videos I saw about Allshare cast,, the option should be found in the settings where I took the screenshot provided in the main post

go to the video player and play a video and search for options from there on

What's the firmware ?

I have a feeling that you will need the All Cast Dongle accessory in order to stream your screen. I have no proof of this and it should work without on a Samsung SmartTV - I was certainly hoping it would work without as we recently bought a SmartTV.

Apologies for side tracking but what is the phone like?

I read somewhere that you don't need the dongle if you have a samsung smart tv/bluray 2010 model or later
Anyone the option should be listed even if I don't have the dongle

Actually it could be possible that it works by the TV or dongle registering itself on the WiFi network it's using, and only presenting the option to the phone if a smart tv/dongle is found?
Atleast i found it mighty suspicious that they could only find one TV at the demos, there must've been more than just one right? Unless they were all on different networks.

My phone and TV were connected at the same network,, still no option ??

Just saw on your screenshot that wifi-direct is disabled
Think it should be enable if you want your phone send information directly to your TV

Enabled,, Still no Option
It seems that ROM shipped with the device doesn't have this feature,, or samsung will provide an update when the dongle is available

Wots the nearby devices do/show if you press on it
And maybe its like a Bluetooth connection you have to make both tv and phone visable to each other then pair them
There should be some instructions lol

Check this youtube video --
I think you need that dongle as I see they were mirroring the video on a Samsung TV using that dongle.
I think there is another AllShare Play which probably acts like a cloud solution.
Details here: allshareplay(dot)com

That was released in 2011 for Galaxy S2,, and samsung still didn't support ICS Devices
Here is where the option should be found According to a video on Youtube and not AllShare Play:

For those who received the device today,, did you find the option?

i have tried droid vnc server and it is very laggy on my laptop.
i want to view my android screen on my pc as smooth as hdmi out on a hdtv
Maybe this is better although i never tried it.More info here.
I'm also been searching way of using my mini pro on big screen.. The most successful way is by using the stock dlna server but its only effective to view videos and photos through my ps3(client).
I want something i can use to view the ui without any lag..

it would be awesome if its possible through our hdtv
trying the androidscreencast now...
HDMI trough USB? Damn that would be heavy load on phone's CPU.
DHMI is straight out from video chips. Any app / program has to capture stream from the video chip convert it and send it to PC, that takes memory and CPU power.
Be sure you plug into USB 2 port (if you have old computer) or USB 3, as if computer is older, it takes some resources as a connected webcam - constant stream of video.

i think my explanation isn't so clear.. what i really mean is that the usb cable act as a hdmi cable and outputting video straight to the hdtv and not install on pc as webcam. it been featured using galaxy s. but not sure whether it needs any physical infrastructure build on our phone to make it work or its purely software base.

I guess this is MHL cable. Support started on phones like SGS II, HTC Sensation, etc.... I won't expect it working on SE Mini Pro.

The XTZ's Screen Mirroring is based on Miracast. You need to enable/setup the Miracast feature on your television.

You said your television is an XBR950 model, so it should support Miracast. Go on-line to Sony Support and download a manual for your television and read how to enable the Miracast feature.

Unfortunately, the KDE-55XBR950 is the (no offense intended) economy plasma version of the XBR950 models which does not have the Miracast feature. Nor does it have Ethernet capabilities. Your only choice for playing videos from your XTZ on your television is by connecting a MHL to HDMI adapter between the XTZ and the television.

Thx for that and as I suspected if I understand correctly , I need a miracast adapter for the TV
I edited my post, i was completely wrong.
If your tv is capable here's how to : https://us.en.kb.sony.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/43134/kw/screen mirroring/c/65,66/related/1
I can only use wifi direct for playing media wirelessly on Bravia, I can't use screen mirroring without the IM750.

It depend if you want it wireless or with cable which is less expensive :

How to with a MHL using sony IM750
I have read that Rockship will sell 10$ Miracast dongle in the near future. maybe in september...

Miracast possible?

I thought all 4.2.2 devices supported Miracast, but I don't see an option for it....
I was thinking of getting a cheapy dongle off of ebay to mirror my TS to the TV (no idea why lol)....
Anyone got any ideas?

You'll not need any option.
Buy ezcast, it's 15$ dongle and with ezcast app you'll be more than satisfied.
I'm using it on all my devices (Z1, N7, XU...)and I'm planning to use it on TS.
I have cast screen option on Nexus 7 and it can't detect dongle but as I said - ezcast app is doing great job and.
Literally - plug and play...

Video player (inside of app) is capable to show subtitles, that's something I really need...
Cheapest and best wifi dongle I ever had...and I have chromecast too...
This is better device then Google chromecast.
Google restricted many options and it's, for me, best for web and media servers streaming (youtube, netflix)...
But ezcast is best for mirroring and wifi video/pist/music sharing (from other device)

There are quite a few dongles that apparently support eZcast, however does this work much the same way as Chromecast works where you only use your phone as a remote control... where as miracast is actually mirroing your device screen instead of just syncing the Casting Dongle to play the same content from where you left off?

Also...
I can play videos/movies with external subtitles, mp3, web pages... (not in mirror mode, it has app that can play all that media while I'm using my device...
One more thing, even expanded window is working...

Porting Netflix for android TV for other devices. Is it possible?

Hey, I'm just info seeking. I would like to know if it is possible to port the android TV version of Netflix to other devices. I currently use a rooted Ouya as a set top box. The standard Netflix app simply doesn't cut it on a 40" HDTV. And if it's not possible are there any other ways to get HD out of Netflix on an android device.

It seems that all the Android TV apps are designed to only run with the Android TV Launcher, which unfortunately only works on Nexus Player. Hopefully someone will be able to mod it and make it run on other Android Settop boxes. I have a Matricom G-Box Q and it is totally awesome for Kodi, but like all other android settops, can't use the Android TV apps.

Same problem here with my matricom box. Does a TV layout version of Netflix for Android not exist? Are they all touchscreen based except the Android TV ones that cannot run on a settop box?

5 Very Useful Apps For Android TV

5 Very Useful Apps For Android TV
Android TV is pretty great when you're using it with YouTube, Netflix, Hulu or if you're casting stuff from your phone. However you might have noticed that it's lacking a lot of interesting apps in its watered down version of the Play store. You'll skim through it really quick, realize there is nothing good and then you'll back out. Before you stick a fork in an electrical outlet due to disappointment, how about I show you some of these useful Android TV apps that don't get a whole lot of attention.
Sideload Launcher - Android TV
Most of us probably find ourselves sideloading a lot of apps onto Android TV to makeup for the lack of ones available on the Play store. Since the Android TV launcher only displays apps downloaded from the Play store, you can only access sideloaded apps through your settings. That's garbage. Fear not, Sideload Launcher takes care of that problem by replacing the stock launcher so you can see all of your apps.

[Root] TV Boot
I don't know why Android TV does not have a restart option. I always find myself in a situation where I need to restart my nexus player, so I have to get up and travel across my seemingly endless living room to unplug it. I had both my legs replaced with some really flimsy hollow plastic ones that collapse under my own weight whenever I try to use them. I should stop volunteering for those medical trials. Anyways the point is that the TV Boot app will let you restart or shutdown Android TV from your phone. That's really all there is to it. This will work on rooted devices only.

Mirror Beta
Ever head of ClockworkMod? Of course you have. You've probably used their custom recovery at some point while modifying your phone. You've probably never heard of their Mirror app. This app lets you cast your Android screen to Fire TV, Chromecast or Apple TV. It also works as a screen recorder which comes in handy. It's one of the best apps for screen casting, especially if you have to use both an Apple TV and A Chromecast regularly.

Notifications for Android TV
Notifications on your Android TV is a great way to broadcast to a room full of people that you're fighting with your girlfriend. This app will let you push any notifications that you'd receive on your phone right to your TV. You can scroll through every notified message on the Android TV in fullscreen mode. You can even change the settings individually for each application.

Santi: Instagram on Android TV
One of the big social media apps that is missing entirely on Android TV in instagram. With Santi, you'll be able to login with your account and browse the photos from the people you follow. The only feature this is missing the is ability to like posts or follow/unfollow users. Aside from that it's got everything you need!

Are these apps useful for live streaming like Football or Cricket match?

I think what you'll need for that is an app that streams live TV. These apps do exists but they'll only work through your TV provider. So if I have Comcast TV, I can download the Comcast app and get live TV that I can stream to my Nexus player. Check to see if your TV provider has an Android compatible app that lets you live stream TV.

Yah, this would be great. Then cable TV becomes a second-class citizen in your streaming environment, which is how it should be.
I really like top TV launcher https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.DXIDev.Top_TV_launcher

Steam Link (New Android TV App)
I have a great experience to use Android TV with YouTube. I would like to share another new Android TV app here:
Steam Link:
It is one of the top additions at Google Play Store in May 2018, through which user can stream from the Desktop or PC to Android device. It means, users can stream games directly from TV up to 4K Resolutions at 60 fps.
Tnx for the info
