Can anyone explain how to mirror so I can use my tv as a monitor. I did the quick connect an that does nothing but give me like 3 folders. I'd like to see the same exact screen what I see on my phone. I had a note 3 an all I needed was a hdmi cable. That way does not work on the new S6 edge plus. If anyone knows of away without getting chromecast or all share cast please let me know thanks. I can upload pics if your not sure what I'm talking about.

Is Allshare Cast supposed to be available for the SGS3? I can't find it anywhere in the menus. I was hoping to be able to share my phone screen on my tv like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oY-pni6KToc
For anyone else looking for info on this topic I found this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1678135. @aussie2sweden, many believe the dongle may not be necessary if you have a DNLA SmartTV from Samsung, the dongle merely being for TV's without that support. Do you have any support for you comment that the dongle is necessary? I have googled it and find no such supporting documentation.
Update: Samsung site says coming soon http://www.samsung.com/global/galaxys3/feature.html#allsharecast

Allshare Cast is an addon dongle you need to buy.
You cant use the DLNA in the S3, with your existing DLNA render in your TV.. to mirror your screen..
to mirror your screen like in that video you must purchase either the Allshare Cast Dongle going on sale soon, or a MHL HDMI adaptor..
Has anyone read when the Allshare Cost dongle will be available??
Since we can use a VNC viewer to remote control/view a PC desktop, anyone know of an app we can do this vice versa?
I want to project my Note's screen onto a PC screen. Basically, people can see what I draw while I draw it etc.
Look for something like a screen caster app. Idk if they ever got them up to speed but there's a couple solution out there. It's been a while since I used any. Do you need to direct input to the note or just view its display?
Is this real life?
I want to be able to use my Note, and reflect what I am seeing on a desktop monitor over wifi. Basically want to use the monitor as a projector mirroring what I am seeing on the note. Actually....tethering with the USB cable is fine too...

hi folks
as the title says im after screen mirroring my s3 to my laptop it is equipped with dlna already or maybe wifi direct if its possible! according to what i read on the net it is possible to mirror s3's screen to a pc using dlna but i have no luck yet! when i scan with allshare app it does see my laptop i registered it with allshare play it sees it as an active online pc but refuses to stream music, pictures or video let alone screen mirroring!. do you think i should download a dlna server app? if so which is the best one? coz i have downloaded one called tvtrivia or something but it didnt help..
im from UK so i have the international version of s3 with original stock samsung rom on.
i have gone thru the forums but i didnt not come cross any thread about this apart from one that is about allshare cast which involves an extra hardware!
im very surprised though as i thought many people would be interested in screen mirroring!
what do you guys think about screen mirroring? anyone have made any research about this or even tried? what is your experience?
bump, also interested in this
yep - and me!
Airdroid can do basic screen mirroring but it runs at a low fps rate of ~1fps. MirrorOP is also the same I presume. I wish the was a solution for this using wifi, widi or even usb connection. That way I can easily play games with my phone as a remote or as a wheel substitute in teaching games lol.

I use MirrorOp and works well. The frame rate is high and videos work well through it. The sender app costs $9.99 (~£6.43) for unlimited use.
I have a Samsung S2 phone which is now permanently mounted on the microscope to take pictures of specimens. As the phone is quite old, I have used cynogenmod (11.0) with android 4.4.4 on it replacing the touchwiz software.
I have tried Google Chromecast first-generation - doesn't work. The phone seems to be trying to connect as the chromecast is going to switch on, but in the middle of connection, the casting stops. It works with other phones, just not the S2. I have bought and tried a micro USB to Hdmi port. Does not work. Any ideas how to cast it to a monitor? Maybe I need to install another rom?

Thanks for the article. Never knew those existed.
You can try to use MHL , but It doesn't work on AOSP and CyanogenMod. You need stock ROM or Stock based ROM to make it work
Thanks. I finally got it to work with the Techjunkie article. However, only one method worked which is the Airdroid. The rest:
1. Vysor
2. Mirror
3. Chromecast and Google Cast
does not work. I think it may be due to the old cynogen onboard.
Hi, I just recently purchased a Roku Express Plus. I had one of the very first generation Rokus but I haven't used it for 3 or 4 years so I got it all set up and was excited about the option to screen mirror my phone to watch content that I can't cast.
Everywhere I look shows me the exact same information, which is basically to go to my settings in my LG G5, share and connect, select the device, and then, supposedly, Voila! Except there is no Voila!
What ends up happening is that my phone sees the Roku unit and after it finishes searching it shows it's connecting. I've already been into my Roku settings and it sees the LG G5 and also has an abled no prompts necessary for connection. But within a couple of seconds of connecting to the Roku, and the Roku puts up a little purple screen that shows a small device and a large TV screen so it looks like something's going to happen, then the connection drops, Roku goes back to its home screen, and my phone shows no devices are available for connection.
I have tried to Google myself silly figuring out what might be going on. I can't screen mirror remotely from my phone to my TV, which is early generation flat screen and not a smart TV, but with an HDMI cord and a dongle I bought that allows it to work that way. But, of course, when I do that I'm limited to screen mirroring only as long as my battery is running because the dongle goes into my charging port on my phone.
Maybe I am misunderstanding things, but from everything I can see, it appears that my Roku model I have, which is a 3900 series, should work as the Miracast Dongle so that my LG G5 can screen mirror to my unsmart TV.
I have PlayStored myself to death and because Developers interchange the words "cast" and "mirror" it's been install, uninstall, install, uninstall Ad nauseam. For all of the apps that end up just basically being "assistants" and taking me to my share and connect page they are no help at all because even though I go through the process the same problem happens.
I did download one app, which works but is working so horribly because of the app itself that it's useless. So I do know that my phone can mirror through the Roku somehow but it is basically circumventing having to go through the Share & Connect somehow. That app was called Screen Stream Mirroring, and I was trying the free version because I did not want to spend $5 if it wasn't going to work at all. Aside from the annoying ads and limited time, it did a lot of "loading. . .", and had a significant delay. I don't mind the delay, but today it was working worse than it did last night when I first tried it. I'm not sure how it connects, but there was a little tab on the side that said to connect to Chromecast, DLNA, or other stuff, and when I clicked on that Roku popped up as an option because the app saw my Roku so I connected that way. Or any way connected crappily.
I know that's a lot of information, but I wanted to give you everything that I've tried so far. I've also cleared my caches, uninstalled the third party mirroring and casting apps, rebooted my phone, unplug and rebooted the Roku, and I'm not sure if there is a great app I can download? I don't mind a third party app but I can't find one that will work for me right now. So if anybody has ideas on that. Again, I need something that will mirror and not just passed because I would like to view my DishAnywhere or other things on the TV that I can't see through my Roku.
Or, ideally, it would be great to have my phone mirror directly to the Roku without that connection dropping and not seeing the device for some reason. There is no Direct Customer Support with Roku or my model Roku even though I just bought it new. My only options are help center cookie cutter choices you have to select from a drop-down menu, none of which have anything to do with screen mirroring.
Thank you in advance for any experience and or suggestions and ideas to troubleshoot this.,
Kristie
And if no one has any thoughts about how to solve the mirror dropping, how about a good Screen Mirroring App, not Casting, to mirror my LG G5 through my Roku? But it needs to bypass the Screen Mirroring button on my Share & Connect in Settings since that process keeps recognizing, trying to connect, and then dropping the Roku.
I did find one app that used a tab to connect directly to DNLA, Chromecast, etc. that recognized Roku and connected it, but the buffering/loading was horrible, the resolution wasn't great, and the second time I tried to use it the audio was not working. It was called Screen Stream Mirroring by MOBZAPP. Others I tried simply took me back to toggling on my Screen Mirroring button, and that is not working. Bypassing it did work, although the app wasn't great. I am hoping there is another, but I have not had luck since some developers say "mirror" but mean casting.
Thank you in again for your time and and ideas,
Kristie
