Hi guys if your reading this maybe you can help me. I have an appradio3 that I to be able to cast my screen onto. Now brief background, I used to be on Verizon limited data with a rooted note2 that I direct connected via HDMI. I now have mistakingly switched to att and now i have a new note7 that doesn't have anyway to connect directly to the deck since Samsung has taken it out. Now I've since read about using a Chromecast and casting that way. That's all well and good if and only if you have a Wi-Fi hotspot on your phone which I don't and i dont want to pay for the very limited hotspot plan for my phone to do that. Now I'm not opposed to rooting my note7 which I've looked into that but I've got an sm-n930a. And using the Sprint method doesn't work well for my model. Seen a video were a guy did get his tmoblie phone to root but the process was very lengthy. Or I'm not opposed to rooting if possible the Chromecast. I've got both the newer and the older version of that. I've looking briefly through the Chromecast threads and didn't see if once rooted that you could Wi-Fi direct to the CC. Like once your setting it up it Wi-Fi directs to your phone then switches to normal Wi-Fi. Is this possible??? Or if there's any other device that could get this to work with an appradio3 I'll totally try that.

I'm guessing after the note 7 recall this issue has "solved" its self... I am curious what you did wind up doing. I have the same App radio 3. I used to mirror my S5 to the thing with a samsung hdmi adapter and had full bluetooth touch controlls. Ever since android started setting selinuix to enforced it has become an issue to emulate touch control from the app radio to the phone. Screen mirriroing alone didnt really make me all that happy since I couldnt make it do much without touching the phone. Do you by chance have any advise on this?
What phone did you go to after the Note 7?
Well unfortunately I've gone to an iPhone 7 plus. Which I'm a droid person at heart and it's been a hard switch. Mainly cause I like the ability to mod the droid over iPhone. That said though the iPhone can still hook up to the AppRadio once you've got the appropriate adapters. So right now I can mirror the phone and can watch YouTube videos on the deck. If watching a YouTube it'll allow the phone to go dark or browse for your next video. Still looking into loading videos on the iPhone than watching them on deck but haven't put to much effort into as of yet. The real bummer is that there isn't no support to mod the iPhone to use full touch screen like if you had a droid with the hdmi. I've actually posted on several iPhone forums with just the question and after 2 months have not gotten a response. I still have my note2 and could hook that stuff back up but I have no internet on it so I couldn't watch YouTube from it. And I know this is droid forum but if anybody can help with modding the AppRadio app for iPhone like they did for the droid I'd throw some funds your way, but I can't throw to much since winter time is slow work months for me.

I am only reposting this because I know a lot of people have been talking about wanting this feature. Here is the link to the thread.

If I am "Late to the party" or you want to post the funny fail pictures, that is fine! I just felt this was worth posting. I did not know about it and I am sure others may not as well.
Basically the link talks about using a program called PDAnet Tablet edition. I was familiar with PDAnet but not a wifi version!
We need to stay way under the radar with this, guys.
I'm sure their not crazy about HTC unlocking the bootloader because of this.
Sprint is cracking down....monitoring data use and even sites visited.
Abuse here could be a big factor if Sprint throws up their hands and decides to cap data...which would S U C K.
I've had Bluetooth tether via PDAnet since my Treo 650 many years ago. Maybe I'm the only one but on all the phones I've had since then, I have ALWAYS found Bluetooth tether to be very tricky to set up, cumbersome and unreliable compared to the WiFi tether I FINALLY have on the EVO 4G. I presume the same would apply to the 3D. This is the main reason I haven't made the 4G --> 3D upgrade yet. So for me personally the Bluetooth tether option isn't that grand.
Hijack: does anyone else find it confusing that the 3D phone is newer than the 4G? I have to keep reminding myself...

It's the people who want to download blu ray movies through their phones connection and large files that bog down the network that Sprint doesn't like. You use 30GB+ a month or more and you are certainly going to have some kind of attention. I only use around 4GB and that was with root access on my previous phone. Though I didn't have 4g to tether from on my Epic. I would have much rather used my home network. Saving money is great, but it really affects others so negatively that Sprint may take action at some point if people don't start thinking more about the greater good than their must have for the newest MKV movie from btjunkie. Though I could be wrong.
True this...exactly. regardless...we're still circumventing their hotspot service. Knowing how much my AT&T friends are truly shackled by the cap...I'd consider paying sprint for tethering again!

Useing pdanet tablet now....from evo 3d to rooted gtablet runing cm7....a little slow but does work for browsing...does not work for pandora will check netflix and dishnetwork and get back.....ok does not work with anything but browsing.....cant wait for root....
So i finally recieved a allshare cast dongle. However no matter what i do it displays nothing on my tv (or a monitor i tried it with). I'm guessing its DOA, but i just wanted to hear if anyone have any tricks before i send it back...
*Update* Got a replacement. Works great, much better than the HTC media link HD. Fairly smooth without being perfect. Seems the picture is compressed quite a bit though. Running JB leak btw.
Allshare cast dongle don't work with custom roms I hope that, they fix it as soon as posible.

I know, which is why i went back to stock... But thats not the issue. I can connect and all, but nothing gets displayed... Not even the "welcome" screen seen in video previews...
Updated OP
Hmm... At home it works like crap... I suspect due to 2.4ghz congestion... However it should run on 5ghz, but there seems to be nowhere to check that :
Also the audio plays through the phone speaker... (Might be a JB problem though)
im getting the wireless allshare cast dongle here shortly....and i just wanted to know. will it work with all android phones? My note, Skyrocket, S3....and future use with my Note 2 ?
i dont think i will buy one if i can not use it down the line or with my other phones.
So I am an idiot, I jumped the gun and bought the new Droid Turbo. Thinking it was the latest and greatest etc etc I grabbed it, only to find out later, it does not have HDMI/MHL. It never even crossed my mind, I just assumed HDMI/MHL was standard these days, Every other phone I have had has had it. So my predicament. I use an AppRadio in my car, Cant stand the regular radio and I have been in love with the radio for almost 2 years (i think) but without having HDMI, I can not use the appradio with this new phone. I use the AppRadio Unchained mod that is posted here, or did use it I should say. I think I vaguely remember reading about some people using a cast type device to wirelessly hook up their phone to the radio. My question is, if i use a device like miracast, or what not, will it work like I have installed an HDMI cable, and will I still be able to use the touch functions of the radio, or am I going to need to rethink my purchase and possibly return the phone? Wasn't sure if this was the right place to post this or not. Thanks in advance.
So I purchased a Z4 SGP771 to use as both a laptop and phone replacement. Works wonderfully for me; although the KB is a bit small for continuous use, it's fine for my purposes.
However, I got overeager and went through the steps to unlock the bootloader in anticipation of rooting the device (which I haven't yet done) and now I've got some issues I'm hoping the good people here can help with.
1. I'm still running the original stock rom it shipped with: 5.0.2
2. I can't get screen mirroring with miracast to work with my bravia tv - specifically I get an error saying that the TV doesn't support HDCP. On the sony support forums, they specifically mention unlocking the bootloader being an issue here. And yes, the TV in question is Wi-Di capable. The tablet can see it, and the TV even has a built in mirroring input setting - the tablet just fails to make the connection.
3. I was able to get remote play to work with my PS4 briefly - it displayed on my Z4's screen very nicely. Now however, I can't get it to do anything but display a grey screen with on-screen controls (like the tablet is being used as a large and clumsy dual-shock controller). To be honest, I cannot remember if the remote play feature was working after I unlocked or not. RL work became very busy and I was unable to take advantage of the remote play option for several days. When I got back to it, it just wasn't working.
Generally speaking, everything else is still running fine. I believe I can fix #1 on my own, but I'm baffled on #2 and #3 without sending it back to Sony for a true repair/relock.
So anybody got any suggestions?

So a bit of an update is in order. After checking in with Sony directly - just a query on their "if you return it for service you may be charged a significant fee, since you've modified the tablet" quote - and they informed me that "yeah, you can't return it at all, sorry no dice, thanks for playing." I went ahead and at least did a full system backup and reboot.
Surprise, surprise, Remote Play works again. I've got significant lag over my router, but I think that's a function of the router, not anything to do with the tablet. So #3 just up and fixed itself. Yay for that.
Screen mirroring is still fubar however. This ultimately isn't a major issue since it isn't something we were aiming to do very often anyway. We only attempted it during a recent soccer game broadcast that wasn't being carried on any of the stations I subscribe to through my cable provider, but was available streaming. So #2 isn't fixed yet, and that does seem to be a direct result of unlocking. I can live with it, but finding a solution would be preferable.

Yes miracast will fail if you unlock.
At least for test devices it is possible to enable it again afterwards but I don't know about retail ones. In any case I'm pretty sure you can't do it via EMMA so I don't think simple Sony service points can do that.
I'll try to find out.

... helped me with the miracast problem! Addedt the Values in /system/etc/wfdconfig.xml and build.prop, ran terminal command as in post #6 and voila .... screen mirroring is working on my samsung f6500
Hope it helps ....

How does it work on test device?
If it is differ from above link's fix, it's really interesting.

If I remember correctly it changed something in the TA partition with an internal tool SONY Mobile has.
But that was quite some time ago - a couple of years.
I want to be able to plug my new Galaxy Tab S3 (T-820) into my desktop computer or laptop via the USB C cable and not just move files back and forth, (which works fine), but ALSO have access to my desktop's internet connection through USB. I don't want to use WiFi.
I have an Ethernet to USB C dongle, which works fine, but it doesn't allow me to share files or charge my tablet. I'd like to be able to do all three at the same time.
In many of the "How To" articles out there where "Reverse Tethering" is described, they helpfully list the various buttons and widgets to click in order to enable this feature. However the authors always refer to menu items and buttons which don't appear under my tablet's settings. They're not just greyed out. They're simply absent. So that doesn't work.
Neither do any of the various apps on the Google Play Store and elsewhere which promise to provide reverse tethering. They just don't work.
SO...
Being new to the Android (and the smartphone) universe, I did a ton of homework and have so far figured out how to...
Root my tablet. (Done!)
Wade through the swamp of TWRP, ODIN, etc., while tripping spectacularly over the various speed bumps and permission walls provided by the likes of Samsung and Google's paranoid anti-theft (and it would seem from my use case, their anti-happiness) feature set.
Successfully install different flavors of Android.
Install both Magisk and Xposed and try their tethering unlockers with negative results.
After a week of little sleep, I've managed to get through all of this torturous nonsense and amaze myself by not having bricked or totally spoiled my tablet. It still functions! After all the warranty-voiding BS I've crammed through it, I'm feeling quite lucky.
However... I still don't have the ability to tether/reverse tether!
I've learned a lot, but I still feel mostly like a dazed and confused script kiddie (remember when 'script kiddie' was a term? Well for me, it still applies nicely.) I'm trying my level best, but various elements of this whole exercise remain opaque. This is my first post in any forum asking for advice because I finally hit the outer bounds of my DIY energies and pride.
So, if you will indulge my humble request, what I want to know is...
1. Is my tablet even capable on a hardware level of performing a reverse tether, or has the manufacturer locked that feature out so that even a ROM which promises to turn it on will fail to do so?
AND...
2. If it IS possible for a ROM to turn on the tether/reverse tether feature, which one is it and where can I find it?
2a. If there is another solution.., what is it?
I'm currently on...
Android Version 8.0.0
Samsung Experience version 9.0
Kernel Version 3.18.71-13482624
Build Number R16NW.T820XXU1BRE2
I bought this unit off Amazon; it was a refurb and I didn't get it through some cellular provider nor do I have a phone plan. I don't know where this tablet originally came from, but it was all new, sealed and shiny in the box when I got it.
Thanks!
I can appreciate losing a week of sleep. But I don't understand why you need to reverse tether. Enable WiFi and there you go. I think the last time I needed to tether a device through my laptop's internet connection would have been the 1990s.
FWIW the USB-C connector on the TAB S3 is different because if you want to drive an HDMI monitor you need a DisplayLink chip enabled dongle and DisplayLink Presenter app running on the Tab S3. Whereas on my TAB S4 I can just plug any regular old USB-C -> HDMI dongle and display on the monitor. So odds are trying to get reverse tethering working on the Tab S3 is going to be an exercise in futility.
Hi there, you still looking for reverse tethering for android? i found & use this for a while... you can check github link here : https://github.com/Genymobile/gnirehtet
working well on my S3.
Holy cow, it works!

What...? It worked?! Thank-you!
It's hard to believe how much effort and research I'd put into this, how many promising fixes I tried and which failed. In truth I'd given up weeks ago and found myself scornfully looking at the expensive tablet by my desk, wondering if I should hang on to it for its limited uses or sell it on eBay.
Thanks for posting! I can now do what I wanted with this machine.
For others, just follow the directions on the github link provided in the previous post.
I just scrolling around to find fixes for wifi issue - it connect & reconnect every times when on my office connection. Since me unable to use wifi, i try to find the work around using LAN connection. Then i found that.
Happy i can help others. Cheers mate.
