So my WiFi is down this week and I thought that's no problem, I'll just plug my s6 edge into the TV using the USB cable and stream media from my data plan... But my TV does not recognise the device as a media device?
So I read into it and Samsung have REMOVED MHL capability from all of its newer 2015 devices???? Why would they do this?
This basically means without a WiFi connection the phone cannot be used to stream media (other than Bluetooth music) to any other devices and also means our devices are incompatible with app car radios :good:
What are we suppose to do?

So just wondering about getting digital audio out from the Gtablet. Is this possible? I have the Squeezebox Player and Squeezebox Commander applications on my tablet and while the sound is OK I was wondering about feeding that audio signal to my home receiver's DAC. Is there a working USB solution? How about taking a HDMI approach and using this monoprice adapter http://www.monoprice.com/products/p...=10110&cs_id=1011002&p_id=5557&seq=1&format=2 to send the digital signal from the HDMI to my receiver? Anyone have any experience/suggestions?
bumping this. i would like to know also.
Why can't you just connect your HDMI cable directly to your receiver? Is it because you don't have that type of connection on your receiver?
I have tried to get Squeeze Player to work on my TNT-Lite tablet. Everything seems to work except for changing the volume has problems. If you do have this working, can you tell me which image you are using?

I am currently using VEGAn-Tab Ginger Edition. And yes my music receiver/amplifier doesn't have HDMI inputs (in fact it only has either one coax or optical input). I did purchase the HDMI to optical switch but I haven't tried it with the unit stereo set up yet (maybe this weekend ???) as my Logitech Duet is currently plugged into the optical input.
SqueezePlayer coupled with SqueezeCommander are working great for me and I can even control it directly with the Duet remote or PC on my network. As they phase out this device I am going to monitor the pricing and eventually purchase another set as I have another receiver located in the "media room" (basement) that I might occassionally want the ease of the logitech device ... although now that their google tv is allegedly dropping to $99 perhaps that takes a backseat as I have a PC hooked up to that system and I can use that for music.
My car stereo supports USB thumb drives and iPods. My understanding is that this would work with UMS mode on Android (I think). But with ICS, UMS is gone and replaced by MTP and PTP. Is it possible to still connect an ICS android phone to a car stereo via USB?
I've got a Samsung Galaxy S3 and have tried using the "SGS3 Easy UMS" app to connect my phone with no luck. Is this on the right track? Has anyone else gotten this to work?
I've just switched over from an iPhone which worked great in the car for streaming music via USB and would like to do the same with my SGS3, but right now I can't seem to find a solution so I'm leaning towards returning it and going for the iPhone 5.
Anyone have any luck connecting an ICS android device to a car stereo via USB?
TIA!

Why don't you buy a 3.5 mm cable and connect it?

Unfortunately, this model stereo (Bose) does not have a 3.5mm input, it only has the USB input. The manual states that the USB input supports "various USB memory sticks, USB hard drives, and iPod players". I have been using it without issue with my iPhone 4 (both as a "USB drive" and to play streaming music via spotify and other streaming players). With the Android phone, with MTP, it doesn't look like a USB drive and therefore won't actually connect (I get a "check device" message).
Seems strange to me that with ICS, the OS is no longer compatible with any of these USB-enabled car stereos (and there seem to be only a handful of MTP-compatible head units out there). Since it apparently worked pre-ICS (I can't verify if that would work on my specific car stereo since my phone is ICS), it would seem that they could have at least had an option to enable UMS mode.
Still hoping for a solution...

I know how you feal i have a AVH-P3300T and it works GREAT with pandora and iPhone...(even an iPhone 2G) pandora detected the stereo as an accessory right away... but for what ever reason when i plug my HTC Sensation in it jsut reads it it as a disk drive..
there has to be some active driver letting the head unit and the device talk... If there was a way to capture that level of logging going on im sure there some people here that could reverse engineer this... and just make it so that its a service runnign in the back ground...
Either that... or soemoen figure out how to REPROGRAM a head unit from its stock image to an android image lol...
Hi all,
I have the Note 2, it is not rooted and full stock. I purchased the Allshare Dongle and I did update the dongle firmware. I can get video over HDMI but no audio using media player or spotify. I tried 2 different HDMI cables. I tried going direct to TV and bypassing the HDMI receiver to which the TV is connected. I tried going to Accessory Settings and trying both Stereo and Surround.
Seems like this should be obvious but its not. I get audio from phone until I turn on allshare cast, and then I get no audio from the phone (as it should be because HDMI is then active) - but there is no HDMI audio.
I searched the Net but can't seem to find others with the problem. Thoughts?
Hi All,
I use an SIII to output wirelessly to my Miracast-enabled TV, through Allcast share.
I also have an old laptop, which doesn't have Miracast/WIDI hardware.
I would like to use the SIII as a Miracast transmitter dongle, to output the screen of my laptop to my TV, using the Miracast hardware of the SIII.
So far I have been able to do so by installing the Nomachine NX server on the laptop, the NX client on the SIII, establishing a connection and then activating Allcast.
It all works (audio and video), but it gets a bit laggy and stuttering when I try to stream videos from websites, as the CPU load on the laptop maxes out.
I was wondering if there's any more efficient way to do so, getting rid of some overhead and lag? Either through USB connection or WiFi?
Thanks in advance for any thought
Regards
I am interested in this topic too.
Is there a Wireless Display TRANSMITTER or TRANSCEIVER which can be plugged into the HDMI or USB port of any non-WiDi laptop so that the screen can be mirrored to my Miracast receiver device?
I purchased this indash Pioneer unit for large screen display of nav info using Waze or Google maps. The phone function connects OK via USB, the bluetooth connects OK for music, but the Pioneer will not recognize the phone's nav input.
Two different brand phones owned by the radio shop crew connect flawlessly to the unit via USB. They have tried repeatedly to get the X829 LeMax2 running stock Android 6.0.1 to connect, without any sign of success.
Could it be the USB-C? The two other phones are the older style USB.
Anyone have a solution?

Hi!
Do you use Android Auto?
Do you enable the connection to your Pioneer?

Thanks for the info - I had not heard about Android Auto. I tried it, and it does not recognize my Pioneer unit. It is not listed either as an accepted or rejected car.
After some experimentation, I found that the problem apparently is in the USB-C. I had thought the phone was commecting via USB, but it was using BT. A. Auto will connect via BT but not by USB.
I tried with USB set for debug or not, for MTP or not, but nada all ways. The Pioneer will not connect via the USB-C. A thumb drive of music with the old style USB connects perfectly, so it is not a defective USB connection in the Pioneer but the C format. HELP!!!
