I wonder if it's possible to do screen mirroring to a tv without buying the specific chromecast hardware, for example using Allcast app or Samsung specific apps
May be.. Yes!

I posted a thread for that, especially for the ones who wants to cast without Chromecast.

Hi,
I just want to understand how Allshare Cast and Share Shot are used. These features are not described fully anywhere. At least, I couldn't find a good source.
My first question is about Screen Sharing with Allshare Cast:
How can I share my S3 screen to other devices ? Which devices support receiving of S3 screen from Allshare Cast ?
Can I share screen of an S3 to another S3 ?
What about Samsung D series TV ? Can we share S3 screen to D series TV ?
the other question is about Share Shot:
I can successfully share shot from one S3 to another S3. The photo taken, goes to the other S3 quickly.
However, one of my colleagues told me that the camera screen could also be shared live to the other S3. Is that possible ? How ?
Thanks.
does anyone have any knowledge about this ?
allshare cast
hi
allshare cast is for a new samsung dongle like apples airplay
its a little gadget that have hdmi out to put in tv
you pair your phone with it and then you can stream sound/pictures/video
up to 1080p
allshare shot is what i think a way of sharing photos to allshare capable devices
like phones and tablets
spillyft
yes I know that but allshare cast works on new generation Samsung TVs without a need for any dongle.
I just wonder if it would be possible to do it on older TV ?
As i know its from gen8 tv and up

I am currently waiting for my AllShare Cast Dongle (will be out end of August over here in Asia as per supplier).
You can use the AllShare Cast Dongle, as I understood, with any TV with HDMI in and it will support in addition to the usual Photo & Video sharing via e.g. your Samsung Smart TV also screen mirroring. (see also: http://www.engadget.com/2012/05/03/allshare-cast-wireless-streaming-dongle-samsung-galaxy-s-iii/).
Allshare works with my WDTV Live, not with Netgear Entertainer though.

I have a WiFi dongle(came free with the t.v.) and a 5 series smart tv. I am able to stream videos and pictures but not able to share my screen on tv.
Any solution ?

As far as I know this is only possible with the AllShare Cast Dongle
it's too bad that older generation TVs do not support Allshare Cast / Allshare Play.
Especially when D series is just model of 2011.
what about sharing screen between 2 S3 ?

Allshare Cast is a program that will run on the phone and push the screen of the phone to Samsung SmartTV's when it's released. The dongle is a separate piece of hardware used for non-Samsung tv's to do the same thing. Since I can't post links yet Samsung's global page shows how they both work and the Allshare Cast is listed as "Will be available soon."
anything new about this ?
Hello, I have samsung i9300 s3 , n8000 note 10.1 and samsung smart tv 55es8000.In addition I don't have allshare cast dongle.
I can sync between TV and s3,note 10.1 (allshare play, it works)
But, allshare cast doesn't work. İf TV Samsung smart tv ,alshare cast dongle which costs 100 $ still necessary?
Don't read specs of your tv, but the es5700 does not support all share cast. So check your rv specs. If not supported you need the dongle.
Also maybe interesting: I read in other forum that the i9300 will only display 720p with the dongle due to ram limitation. That came directly from samsung support. Actually note2 and s3lte should be the only devices playing full hd with the dongle.
Maybe samsung already changed this behaviour via firmware... dont know

hmm.. read a bit in other forums... seems that even samsung gives different answers.
Actually it seems that all tv's don't support all net cast without dongle.
But if you tv has wifi n standart and it could be that samsung sometimes enables all share cast on your tv via update.
Haven't found anybody who get all share cast working without donge. even on samsung top models.
I guess they simply haven't activated this feature until today.
The "alowed shared devices" are those devices that alre allowed to stream videos via all share play to you tv.
The difference is that all share cast, completely clone your desktop to tv, while all net play just send the media you're watching like video, photo etc. Check your default video player while watching video. You'll habe a "share symbol" on the uper right corner.
Press it and you stream the video to your tv.
Hope samsung will activate the all share cast on tv that support wifi n
No Chromecast here. Have an apple tv. My tv is an LG 60lm7200. I cannot find a way to wirelessly mirror my phone screen to my TV. Any ideas?
Your lg tv may be miracast ready or there may be a software upgrade to support it. if it does support miracast then all you need to do is go to settings\share &connect\Miracast set to on and search and connect.
if it is not miracast ready you can buy a miracast dongle from amazon and such.
AllCast from clockwork mod in playstore will let you send videos and pics to your airplay device (appletv) but miracast will allow you to send your entire desktop.
I would go down the miracast route.
Tv is not miracast capable, smart share app is a place holder. All cast is only local files correct? Looking for live mirroring

I edited my previous post.
you could go the hardware method using a cable with an hdmi out called a slimport adapter.
We have been having great success and a lot of fun mirroring the G3 to the audio receiver and then on out to the TV via a Chromecast on HDMI.
Popcorn Time !
When I tried that on my Nexus5 it did great for a while then got hot and stopped. No such problem with the G3, strangely.

I read that the N9 isn't miracast compatible. Does that mean I will not be able screen mirror with the amazon fire stick?
Didn't realize the fire stick allowed for Miracast. And no it won't.
Wow so I can't even get screen casting to work with a Chromecast even though it detects the device, but I am however able to cast with apps like YouTube.
Anyone else experiencing this?
Works fine for me

What could I be doing wrong?
My note 4 is able to screen cast to the chromecast no problem...
Shouldn't need to do anything fancy to make it work. Hmmm

There is a different between screen casting and (app) casting. The latter simply requires an app that can chromecast AND that the device is on the same wifi network.
Screen casting requires either 'specific' devices that are capable of screen mirroring to chromecast OR miracast capability (I think Sony devices may offer this). For the former, here are the supported devices.

That's the thing.
My N9 can't screen cast, but it can app cast.
My note 4 can do both.

Resurrecting this to clarify some things. Apps that play video on one device from another when you have that app installed on two devices on the same subnet use DIAL (Discovery and Launch), they will work on all devices because the entire mechanism is baked into the app. Youtube, Netflix, Sony, and Samsung created the DIAL protocol. With DIAL, the displaying device is getting the media from the internet and just being controlled by the other device. This a per-app thing and completely device independent and not at all what this thread is about.
Miracast is actual screen streaming. Support is built into Android 4.2 and greater and Intel's WiDi initiative has basically folded over into Miracast. Google removed miracast support from all Nexus and Pixel devices, all other android 4.2 and up devices support Miracast because it is part of Android. This is a super bull**** move by Google and Miracast can be turned on with a single line edit to the build.prop if you root your phone.
Chromecast was Google combining an OS level DIAL implementation with Miracast. Chromecast has since been changed from using straight up DIAL for the media casting to use the more proprietary mDNS, but it's basically the same. Amazon products do not support Chromecast, which is a bit less of a bull**** move compared to Google turning off Miracast on Nexus and Pixel devices since Chromecast is more proprietary.
There are 3 ways to get around the problem, all of which have been done and only 2 are currently available:
Add an app that supports Chromecast protocols to the firestick. There have been a few come and go, they all get in trouble from Google because Chromecast stuff is proprietary. Currently there is AirScreen on the Amazon App Store. It probably steals your data and sends it to China and North Korea, but it works.
Add a miracast app to the Nexus device. There have been a few, but I can't find one at the moment.
Root the nexus device and edit the build.prop file to turn Miracast support back on. Definitely the cleanest, but you permanently trip the security check on the phone and can't use it for payment apps like Google Wallet anymore.

Can you verify this works and specify the build.prop line to add? I've used this method on my Nexus 6 and 9 in the past but it stopped working since Android 6 or 7 or so. The option to cast via Miracast would return but it would never make a connection after a certain OS version.
I don't own a Tab S3 yet but I am considering buying one.
One of the required features on my list is the capability to wirelessly "mirror" or "cast" the display of my tablet onto a TV screen or projector.
Does the Tab S3 have this feature and does it work properly? (provided that the wireless network is decent)

Yes, you can cast your sceen using the Google Home app and a chromecast plugged into your TV. It works great with very little lag if any.
Thanks. I was actually looking for a solution that doesn't require an additional device. (I don't have a chromecast device and its not easy for me to get one)
