Allshare Cast & Share Shot - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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

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 ?

[Q] Allshare cast?

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
google it..

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??

Mirror screen (display) from S3 to Smart TV ONLY with wi-fi (wireless)

Hello there,
I am still looking how to mirror the screen of my S3, by mirror I mean to see what I am doing on my S3, not to stream videos, music or pictures..
For example if I play NOVA, I`d like to see on my Smart TV.
So we do have a Smart TV with wifi (wireless) incorporated, my model D6530 (D6500 series), but I cant find the option to mirror screen.
Is there a trick ??? Can somebody find out or make a software to do this..
Hardware both is all ok and accepted, only SW is missing or hide.
Thanks
Even I am looking for the same. But no luck yet.
There is a discussion on this thread about screen cast (screen replication on TV) : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1678135
Looks like its not yet released and will be available in late summer as per facebook sweden update (as per some user's comment in one of the threads)
With All share play app already available you can stream content(video/photos/music) to TV (same as other DLNA apps like iMediaShare).
The only part lacking and I am desperate is AllShare Cast app.
I thought you needed the dangle for all share cast to work? I its not cheap. Hope I'm wrong I've got a dlna Samsung 5series smart tv and use dlna all the time for porn Ammm I mean video viewing and it's great smooth and fast ^o^

Looking for the same too. This what I found so far.
Google for xbounds.
If you got another android that can hook up to tv, you can install MirrorOp apps. Works well but framerate is limited.

I dont need the dongle to carry all ****s with me, I already have a Smart TV with wifi.. dongle is for normal TV without wifi
Hope they will do something about this
yeah, dont really understand why this isnt already possible, the hardware is there, at present you'll just have to manage with your hdmi which makes gaming pretty much impossible comfortably.
This is probably my only gripe with this phone and my last the sgs2.

I'm having a similar problem I see the device, it connects for a few seconds, my tv screen flickers and disconnects immeditately.
what model of Smart TV you have? I dont see my TV on the list at all...
And what country ? ( I think is related on country, from the answer of Samsung Romania support...)

NOTE: I think allshare only works with the 7000 / 8000 varieties, this was suggested in the sgs2 threads on the subject. I used to have an sgs2 but there was never an option to cast your phone screen without HDMI connection, have to wonder if this option is on the SGS3 at all.

I tried it last sat on un65d8000 model. All share play worked, which just sends movies, but all share case, did not.
Software apparently needs work...

After receiving the latest firmware update on my phone, it finally shows "AllShare Cast" as an option in settings. Unfortunately, it can not detect the UN60ES7500 I have on display in the showroom (or the PN51E8000), nor the BDE5700 and BDE6500 Blu-Ray players. Nothing shows as a "detected device". I just upgraded the firmware on the UN60ES7500 and no change. I tried connecting via our Wi-Fi network, as well as using "WiFi Direct"...still no dice.
Additionally, the "LiveView" Android app apparently isn't compatible with the Galaxy S III either...so no streaming video from the TV BACK to the phone either...grrr.
Samsung needs some software help, pronto!
@jnemesh
same for me what firmware on S3 you tested ?
Allshare Cast doesnt work yet but already has issues
Salut
I have a 7000 series smart tv + WiFi dongle. I can confirm that Allshare plays photos, music & videos from S3 to tv, but Allshare Cast is not working. also there is PIA bug with Allshare Cast on S3 running latest v.17 Omega rom, when disabled from settings it also disables WiFi Anyone saw this issue? The only option to get rid of that it could be re-flashing the Omega rom without the Allshare Cast.:silly:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7p6nOAcSUsE
so that isn't working now even if you have the dongle and a s3?
:/ did they disable the feature?
this is what i'm trying to figure out ..if you have a smart tv that can stream videos via allshare just fine..then shouldnt hardware wise you have all you need for allshare-cast to work too??
i have a UA46ES6200 and my s3 can not detect it when scanning for allshare-cast devices ...but allshare play is working just fine
but i want screen mirroring :/
this is really annoying, Samsung ever read here ?
or how we can get feedback on this..
I bought S3 for this option (like in commercials), otherwise I would stick with my S1 and S2..
Somebody managed to mirror screen without dongle ?

[Q] screen mirroring to a laptop using wifi direct or dlna?

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.

[Q] Allshare Cast on ASUS TF201?

Has anyone ever successfully tried porting the Samsung neat feature of streaming your device to big screen TV via Allshare Cast onto Asus Prime?
Try Avia
With aVia you can create a DLNA server, client and Renderer Server.
If you have other renderer server (i.e. samsung tv) you can send video from DLNA server to it and control from yoyr phone/tablet.

I have a galaxy note 10.1, tf201, and a allshare cast dongle.
So am in the same boat.
I am hoping that with 4.2 update to prime, it will support miracast.
And then hopefully samsung too will update dongle software to also make it miracast compatible.. allshare is anyways a layer on miracast..so should not be difficult if samsung wanted to do this.

[Q] Allshare cast without dongle

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
