I received my official Allshare cast dongle today and although it is working I can't seem to get videos that I play to appear on BOTH screens at the same time. On various youtube reviews/demos, I have seen people playing videos with it appearing on the TV and the GS3 screen simulaneously. When I play a video it only appears on the TV and on the GS3 screen I get either a black background (e.g. youtube player) or a black background with the allshare icon logo on it and the player controls (standard video player).
What do I need to do to get the video to appear on both screens at the same time?
Cheers,
Richard.
The only way is to install another video player because if you saw a video showing doing both then they been misleading you.
Im sure its possible. The YouTube videos i have seen are not just ones recorded at the official Galaxy S3 launch demo booths but also from a fair number of unofficial user demos using their home TV's. I doubt they are all deliberately faked.
Also the videos all use the standard built in Galaxy S3 video player too.

I've got an Allshare Cast myself and it has no settings so Samsung must have fiddled it up to have both screens working because obviously it looks better in a booth with both displays running.
And I think Samsung turn the display off when watching videos because obviously you not gonna be watching both and it saves a load of power, so guess you just have to wait for someone to create a mod to get that done.
The Allshare cast does NOT mirror when playing video.
What worries me is when using the video player, it permanently leaves the Allshare logo on the screen. It is very very dim, but surely that could still result in screen burn after many hours of video watching this way!

There is some lag, yes. It doesn't make games unplayable, but it could put you at a disadvantage for multiplayer. Some games which are currently free on the Samsung app store are free and have optimisations for this system. Modern Combat 3 maintains resolution but suffers framerate drops sometimes in dual screen mode. Asphalt 7 maintains framerate but lowers resolution when the screen gets busy. The TV displays the main game, and the phone has a map of the course which is quite cool.
There is a bit of luck here, as it depends on the quality of WiFi signal in your home and interference can affect how well this system works. Certainly it has its uses though and I suspect there will be firmware improvements for it.

bugger, I wish they'd hurry up and release to TV version, I have a top of the range samsung tv which will work as the cast dongle when they get around to enabling it, i'm hoping latency will be slightly less too as its a straight hop to the TV bypassing the HDMI connections.

Hi, I have had my dongle for a few weeks now. Few problems and very upset with lack of support from samsung. I read you're message while trying to solve my issues. I have just used vlc player from the market and it plays video on screen and the tv together. Hope it helps. Wonder if you know how to make the image fit the my tv screen, it cuts edges of at the moment. Thanks and good luck

Thanks. Yes I since discovered that VLC let you do the mirrored playback after looking very closely at some youtube videos that demonstrated this mode.
Out of interest what other problems are you having? I haven't had time to test mine all that much yet. One thing that annoys me is that there is no on/off button so I have to unplug it to turn it off (I have it hooked up to my HDMI auto switch).
I can't get it to fit tv properly, sometimes requires two or three attempts to connect. Streaming Iplayer has audio sync problems, there is no alternative for audio out to a sound system and today it disconnected and refused to connect for ages. Had to unplug and reset with button at least 3 times. When is first got it my phone had no option for allshare and Samsung don't have any support on it. No one could tell me that I had to update through Kies on my desktop to get this option. All in all I do like it and use it loads, I'm just hoping the new official jb firmware will increase stability. Funny enough the guy I bought it of on ebay here in Turkey emailed me asking for confirmation it works as he has had loads of negative feedback from selling them. I'm sure it wouldn't hurt Samsung to create some support pages. But as usual xda dev prevails.

I have noticed that if you change channel on the phone it automatically disconnects the allshare connection. I never turn it off for this reason. But not very eco friendly I know.

There is a firmware update in the Samsung app store for the allshare cast dongle, available today. So far, there is a rapid connection established to the unit, stable. Sound issues also are resolved so far. Great update.
Hi all I have a small problem with the HDMI, is that when you connect your phone to the TV works correctly but when I start the APP of movies and put a movie or series after two or three minutes the APP is stuck and not I can still see the movie .....
I have a Neo V and am Root, open BL, ROM Zelly Cream and Kernel soft ....
anyone know if it is a configuration issue? is a problem of the TV maybe?
I think the wifi is disconnected or loses coverage ..
sorry for my English I use a translator ...
thanks in advance ...
Are you try another player like MX player or BS?Maybe the problem is in the "Movie" app , it's a little bit bugy .

Hello,
i am coming from an OnePlus 3, just bought the le max 2 because oft the better screen, i am watching much VR stuff. Is there a possibility to activate Google daydream VR like on the OP3?
Thanx in advance
Non OLED screen mobile phones are not officially Daydream compatible. It's because of the lower refresh rates on the LCD panels.
Yes use a nougat ROM and follow these instructions https://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/5hno6u/got_daydream_to_work_on_my_5x_might_work_on_other/
Thank you
One last minor issue, where am i able to find the NFC options? At the moment i habe to turn the flight mode on to use Daydream. Isnt a big problem, just for me as i am a lil lazy :laugh:
Oh wow I have been looking for a way to use daydream without enabling developer mode and skipping vr entry screen and never though about using airplane mode. Thank you. But if you really want to skip that step (but I don't recommend it since sensors won't be calibrated) follow the instructions under EDIT 2 in the link I sent you. (EDIT 2: If you're having problems, go into the Daydream app and tap on the build version a few times to activate developer mode. Then go into the developer mode screen and enable "Skip VR Entry Screens". I believe this is only necessary if you don't have a Daydream headset or controller, but can't confirm that.)
That wont be a problem, i got a headset and a controller. One weird thing is happening, the picture when i am looking through the headset isnt straight, it slightly bents to the right. Pressing the O button on the controller doesnt solve the problem, so i dont exactly know what to do.
Thanx for your help. I will keep on using the airplane mode then. Is there any SBS/OU viewer app which is able to play DTS sound? VRTV unfortunately doesnt and sky viewer isnt starting at all.
Problem with Daydream VR Games
I got problem with most of Daydream VR Games they not launch in VR mode but in 2D mode although the controller still working even in 2d mode.
Only five game that work perfectly Gunjack2, Gunship battle 2, Layers of Fear, NFS No Limits VR, SBK VR and the daydream app it self, beside that like i said before launch in 2D mode.
Please some one tell me what should i do or can you tell me any custom ROM for play Daydream perfectly.
My device 820 version use Lineage OS Version 14.1-20171027-Nightly-x2 with Vulkan mod
What type of VR googles (other then Daydream) are you using? Le Max 2 is quite big phone and I have problem finding proper googles.

Iam Using FiitVR 2S https://www.aliexpress.com/w/wholes...1&SortType=price_asc&g=y&SearchText=FiitVR+2S
Hi guys, I just bought a Bobo VR Z5 (with Daydream controller) and Le max 2(x821). When I got it, I immediately flash best in my opinion ROM for this - Resurrection Remix, with Android 7.1.2, becuase it support Vulkan API. Daydream APP and other stuff I'm install through the Google Play Store, next pair controller. But the point is, Leeco doesn't have NFC and I must turning ON the airplane mode every time until Daydream begin works, and than turn off Airplane mode, and Turn On internet to use Daydream. Everything workings fine but its quite tiring to switch all this things every time. So my question is: Is there any "NFC" emulator app? If Daydream App detect the NFC is "ON" it will be great. Thanks for advice
Ok I got it...

Thats all. But before it, U must pair controller. And set "Daydream View" in settings for this headset. Some games not run properly, like Fruit Slicer or InMind VR 2, this games run into 2D mode. But most games run just great, NFS NL VR, The Turning Forest etc. So I may reccomend Leeco Le Max 2 for Daydream use

Ok so since I have the le max 2 x820 (same phone, different bands/rom on delivery) could I actually use the google day dream (same rom than you) whole not just the controller? Any particular reason you bough another headset?
I'm looking for a good mobile vr headset to take advantage of my phone when I'm not at home to use the HTC Vive. I was looking to take the white xiaomi vr headset with controller (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DBH91MhRtdg) but since I can't find any information on it and if there are hack to use it with my phone I may go with daydream.

Daydream apps and controller, so whole of this U can use. I bought another headset becuase its cheaper and 'Daydream readu', but this isnt true. If U like to buy Vr headset, buy original Daydream gogles. I heard that Daydream headset is better immersive becuase all apps is configured on it. I hope this will help U make a decision gl

So i did get the Google daydream headset, modified the handheld XML file and download the store and the store worked OK same as other Google aps but there is some noticeable jittering/lag when I move my head around, it's very nauseous ( and i am never sick with m'y HTC vive). Also other apps crash constantly (netflix) or launch in 2d (no split view). Any idea?
Yes, daydream not run perfectly in Le Max 2, but in most apps it worls great
---------- Post added at 11:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:05 PM ----------
And lag is actually not annoying later Le Max 2 is unfortunately not oled screen, so lag will be seen time to time
OK so i shouldn't be expecting better from it ? I guess i'm going to return it then because that kind of defy the purpose of it to me =(
Thing is that when i move m'y head everything is super super blurry.
That really doesn't look "normal" to me. If it is then I don't get the good talk about VR mobile =\

if your Daydream app/games launch in 2d just change the ROM, i have try 3 rom. Lineage OS get this issue so it is not good for Daydream, Resurrection Remix 5.8.5 Some app/games most of them heavy game such as " Arcslinger " sometimes get bad performance and screen flickering, the best ROM for Daydream i think PURE NEXUS PROJECT. after instal the rom just follow this instruction correctly https://www.xda-developers.com/force-daydream-vr-compatibility/ and you will get perfect compatible for Daydream.
I not try other rom maybe there are another perfect rom for daydream i don't know. for now iam using Resurrection Remix 5.8.5 because PURE NEXUS PROJECT have bug with screen recorder and i really more need screen recorder than perfect compatible for Daydream.
Has someone with a Mate 10 tried to run Android Auto? I'm still rocking a Mate 8, still a very good phone but with one major annoyance : not working with Android Auto. Very eager to find out if this issue has been resolved.

Actually..... was fine yesterday but I have had a few weird issues today (have only had the device 72hrs)
- Lost music playback during a drive this morning.. can still hear nav instructions and phone calls etc, just silence during what appears to be playing music.
- The map screen has shrunk.. its like a totally different dpi to the other screens and appears fairly high res. Good because of the extra screen estate, but is now difficult to read text.
I'm going to try again tomorrow and will reset the head-unit and reinstall AA if it continues.
There is also a fair bit of complaints going on at the google product forums so maybe Oreo still needs some bugs worked out ?

It's strange. Sony XAV AX-100 & Mate 10 ALP-L29 .115
I find if I'm connected to the headunit first via BT and streaming music, it is fine. GPS directions and calls etc work as expected.
If I plug in via USB and let Android Auto takeover the headunit, it will continue only playing the one currently playing song, and the all other music is unable to play. I still get audio for directions & calls though.
What I think is happening, is Android Auto is trying to play music via USB connection and disables the "media" part of the BT paring.
For whatever reason, Google Play music doesn't come through via USB.
After a bit of research it appears this is a widespread problem with multiple devices after a recent AA & Google Play music update.. so I'm hesitant to blame Huawei here.
My current workaround is simply to use Android Auto on the phone and paired via BT for audio, rather than plugged in via USB.
Very very annoying, and hopefully fixed soon. Google seem to be dropping the ball A LOT lately
Very strange indeed...hope these bugs get ironed out soon. One of the main reasons to upgrade is to have AA working on my head unit so I guess I'll just wait until this works like it should.

Just a quick fyi.. I have cancelled my Google Play Music and switched over to Spotify instead, which is working great and I have no other issues while plugged in via USB
I still get the higher dpi on the maps screen, and am finding it's actually preferable now I've used it for a few days.
Another small fyi for those experiencing issues, after a whole bunch of testing it appears the 'Smart Display" resolution setting is casusing the Nav Maps screen to be distorted, and the On-Call Phone screen to be hidden.
Locking resolution to HD / 720 will allow Maps and Phone screens to function as expected.
Still haven't figured out the GPM no-audio bug even after yesterdays playstore update.
I'm having issues on my mate 8 NXT-AL10.
Navigating - Works on fresh install of Android Auto, but then with Waze installed, next time I get in the car and go to navigation the system freezes, goes black, and then returns to the home screen. This has gone on far too long, and this is also my 2nd and last Huawei phone. Unimpressed.
Music/Audio - Every app I go on within android auto (on my head unit) is giving the "Google play music doesn't seem to be working right now" or insert other app name. It's mightily frustrating.
I've found workarounds for both but they're by no means fullproof.
1) Using Nova Launcher seems to keep Waze working for longer without having to reinstall the android auto app.
2) Apparently clearing the cache of your apps can help solve the audio issues, as well as restarting Bluetooth.
Google/Huawei really need to get their act together on this. It's really frustrating to spend so much money on a phone and a new car only to find out the systems you bought them for don't work.
---------- Post added at 01:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:58 AM ----------
Oh, and also, when typing - for inserting a destination into a navigation app on Huawei, I've found there's no space-bar.
The only workaround so far I've found is type it natively on app in phone, save the destination as a favourite, and access it on android auto from the favourites list. Again, small, but painful.
You going to hate android auto belive me.

I upgrade my Oneplus 3 to Mate 10 and having the same Google Map resolution too high problem.
I turn off Smart Display and lock the resolution to HD (720p) as instructed from this post, the navigation of android auto back to normal but the quality of the screen of the Mate 10 itself look like a budget phone.
I will try to update the firmware of my SONY XAV-AX100 if it would help.
Oh great. I really wish i found this thread before pulling the trigger on a Sony XAV-AX100 I expect it to arrive sometime next week but it wont be installed in my car until the new year sometime. Nonetheless, I will try some basic tests with Android Auto and report my findings. These tests won't involve sound though. No speakers laying around to connect to the headunit. I have a Mate 10 Pro, firmware 8.0.0.125
Updating the firmware of the XAV-AX100 unit does not help. I think it is the problem of Huawei Firmware. I hope they can fix the problem soon.
I just bought my Mate 10 last week. Finally got a chance to use AA, and after reading all the helpful information from this thread, I changed my phone resolution down to HD (low). I have a brand new car and brand new expensive flagship phone, and now you are telling me Huawei doesn't work well with AA. I really dont want to use an expensive phone with HD low resolution. Is there a way to let Huawai fix it?

I think we have to wait for the firmware update of the phone instead of the firmware of head unit. I am current running 8.0.0.119(C636) (which have the AA bugs) and hope that the new 8.0.0.128(C636) I found in Firmware Finder will have the problem fixed. However, the new firmware is not authorise to install on my mate 10 yet.

Sorry for bringing this topic again, but these are exactly my problem and exactly my thoughts.
I have a Mate 9 Pro with Oreo beta and even when I don't have problems with maps or screen, I can only hear 1 song and then the audio stops working, and even when I unplugged the phone, the device remains with no audio at all until I reboot the device.
I tried to test with a P10 Lite, but the car is not even recognizing it.
I will try today with an Android Stock device to see if I get better results.

Do you get correct resolution on your car screen with AA? I can get correct resolution by using HD 1280 x 720 only, which is low resolution.
I tried to use Quick Shortcut Maker to create a shortcut so everytime I need to use GPS, I will toggle it on. However, Quick Shortcut Maker doesn't work on my Mate 10, and I dont' see any new shortcut created on my home screen.
I tried Nova Launcher, again, no hope. Nova Launcher tells me "Permission Denial" when I created the shortcut for "Screen Resolution". Also, after insatlled Nova, my Torch (flashlight) no longer working anymore.
I am thinking to return this crappy mate 10, it's not worth it to spend so much time to do research on all these bugs for Huawei software engineer....

Ok. I have received the Sony head unit and had it installed on friday night and...........
I am having similar experiences to Snachez with some exceptions.
No sound in Google Play Music. Which I am very pissed off with. Sure, I could cancel Google Music, but I have a family account with multiple users. So that's not really an option. I have no choice but to take up a Spotify subscription as well as GPM. I truly believe this is an issue with the GPM app or AA and is not Huawei's fault. Goddamn you Google. (EDIT: Just scored 3 months of Spotify for $0.99. If Google can get there **** sorted by the end of March with the Music app, it won't be so bad)
Maps are fine. don't matter what resolution i run the phone at. Sadly this is probably the only part of AA that has worked as expected.
Phone call information does not display on my headunit. at all. I have a dialer / contacts info but that's it. It doesn't matter if i switch the phone between 720 or 1080p. phone call info does NOT come up on the headunit. Do i have to reboot the phone between resolution switches? Because I didn't try that.

Saying I hate it would be a bit strong. More unimpressed than anything else. Unless I need to use Google Maps, or charge my phone. This headunit is going to spend more time in BT Audio mode than AA
I have got phone functionality (call info, etc) to work in AA. But to do so I have to force close the Huawei dialler each and every single time before connecting the phone to the headunit.
[email protected] me, what an absolute pain in the arse. How did Google and/or Huawei not notice this???
On the upside though, it works when the phone's resolution is set to 1080p. what a relief because changing it to 720p everytime i want to use AA would just suck.
To all the folks that say phone / maps doin't work properly in 1080p. have you tried enabling Developer Options in AA and experimenting with some of the settings?
I have a Nexus 6p and recently the Facebook app will not let me play any video higher than 240p. Most videos only have a 180p option. The videos have terrible quality. I have tried reinstalling Facebook and deleting the files associated with it, but I cannot get normal quality videos to play. My Nexus 6p is running Android 8.1 June security update (might be May, not sure). I recently moved and have Comcast internet with 150mbps. I am not getting throttled. This also happens on other wifis as well as LTE data. There is no option to select a higher video quality. It's only 180p or 240p. I don't know if this plays into it, but YouTube kinda acts this way as well. Although I can change the resolution to 1080p, youtube defaults to 240p or 360p on every video I watch and I have to change it manually for each video. I have data saver off in Facebook and YouTube. I also have it off on my phone. Anyone have ideas why this is happening?

I have a Nexus 6p and recently the Facebook app will not let me play any video higher than 240p. Most videos only have a 180p option. The videos have terrible quality. I have tried reinstalling Facebook ...

That's wired because YouTube and Facebook do that only when your internet connection is poor .
Check your internet speed again here :

If you still see a good internet connection , I don't understand what's wrong .

That's why I can't figure this out. My home wifi is supposed to be 150mbps, but when I do speed tests, its actually 170-180. When I use LTE data and do speed tests, speeds are about 25-30. When I used Comcast hotspots, speeds are still 60-100. When I use other internet hot spots, speeds are anywhere from 30-80. All of the speeds are more than capable of supporting 1080p video bandwidth. I also don't seem to have excessive ping either. So I can figure out why Facebook won't let me play any video higher than potato quality.

Sorry but I don't see at all why those apps are acting like this , that's curious !
I hope you'll find out
Same problem here with a 6P on the latest update. I have tried everything short of a complete wipe and reinstall. Stuck at 180p and 240 when I am lucky. The HD button doesn't work. I did notice a live video that looked like 480p today, but it was just the one video.
Update:I edited my build.prop to a pixel xl and I now have hd back

What did you edit in the build.prop? My nexus is running latest magisk and I even tried hiding root from facebook.

I edited "ro.product.model=Nexus 6P" to "ro.product.model=Pixel XL"
I am running magisk as well, not sure if a 100% stock 6p has the facebook video issue.

I changed "ro.product.model=Nexus 6P" to "ro.product.model=Pixel XL" in the build.prop located in "/System/build.prop" I then restarted my phone for it to read the prop again, but it didn't seem to help the quality.
I also noticed that live videos seem to play at normal quality(or at least something better than 240p) as of right now.

After a few hours, the changes took effect and now my videos default to 720p. That's strange that that had an effect on the issue. Thank you very much for the fix. Is it possible to get 1080p Facebook video?
You might try using other model numbers. I settled on 720p being good enough until Facebook updates things or if the next Android update fixes it.
