[Q] S3 GT-I9300 not optimised on Chromecast - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
I am using S3 GT-I9300 Android version 4.4.4 ParanoidAndroid version 4.1 and would like to use screen cast with Chromecast.
Whilst I am able to cast to screen from apps such as Youtube etc I am not able to mirror my S3 screen. When I connect to Chromecast I receive the pop up "device not optimised for this device". Android connects to Chromecast for a few seconds before disconnecting. Am using Chromecast 1.10.2 app. Is there anything I can do allow cast screen to function correctly? Thanks a million.

Have you tried using google before posting?
Read this: How to Enable Chromecast's Screen Mirroring on Any Rooted Android Device Running KitKat

that was only necessary when screen casting was limited to 3 devices, it's now open to everyone with the latest chromecast app but that doesn't mean it works

I am using the Blekota Note 4 Lite and with me works just fine. I can cast in the TV my phone screen

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] How to mirror my s3 with smart tv WITHOUT any dongle

Hi guys... I have a galaxy s3 with custom ROM (C-ROM 4.4.4). Now, i've a Samsung smart TV f series, that has the screen mirroring source. Now, how can i mirror my smartphone to the tv without any dongle like Chromecast? For example with an app? In the htc one there is the "media output" in settings, that find my TV as "miracast device", and connect with it and start mirroring ... But my s3 hasn't nothing like that!!
Really nothing?
You don't have an option called cast screen in Display menu? I have this on CM 11 and I can see my screen on Samsung Smart TV

ChromeCast Screen Mirror

Hi Guys,
im using the latest CM12 builds and yesterday i bought a Chromecast. Everything works fine. I can stream from my PC and from my Z2 Using Youtube or other apps for example.
But when i want to mirror my whole screen, nothing happens on my TV. On the Phone it says "connected to Chromecast" but nothing is showing up.
I used CM builtin function and Chromecast app.
Isn't it working with CM12 or lollipop yet?

Can No Longer Cast Screen On My 2015 Chromecast

I apologize if this has been covered elsewhere but I recently upgraded my my Chromecast generation 1 to Generation 2 and my ability to cast my cell phone screen to my chromecast from my galaxy s6 has stopped.. it just says connecting and times out.. All apps with native chromecast support work as they should.. Only when I use the cast screen feature from within the chromecast app does this problem occur... Does anyone possibly have any idea on what could be causing this to happen?
Thank you in advance!
I'll have to test this for myself but casting the screen to my Chromecast 2 from my N7 2013 just stopped working all of a sudden the other day. It'll connect and then freeze up within a couple of seconds.
Will try to cast a specific program like YouTube tomorrow and see what it behaves like.
Same problem for me, in the beginning it worked fine, but after the automatic update it started to do problems with the mirror cast and the Google photos.
In the others app it is working good
I so that this is a common problem with the chromecast 2, in alot of phone models

I have almost the same problem, just purchased my chromecast. Everything works except the ability to cast my screen from withing Tablet using CyanogenMod using the Cast Screen option.
When I try it it goes through the process show the device found shows connected then instantly show disconnected. Works on my One Plus One running CM based ROM just fine. So it could be ROM version....
Since its a tablet have to use android Chrome so can't use extensions on it because the extension for Chrome Cast work on my laptop to do a cast screen.
Same problem here using slimkat rom
Updated the tablet to CM12.1 not same ROM but same version as my phone ROM made no difference. Also tried 2.4 and 5 GHz still no go from tablet. Interestingly annoying....

i haves same problem in a lg g stylo i update android 6.0 now wrok fine
Just happened on an HTC M8 too. Everything was OK until now. I have it from December and was working on Android 5 and even on Android 6 until yesterday. Tried to reset it hard from button and soft, reconfigure it and happens the same issue: phone find it and when try to connect screen goes black on TV like trying to receive an image, then disconnects back to backdrop. On the phone sometimes the wifi disconnects from the router and reconnects back when Chromecast is trying to transmit the image on TV. I checked the compatibility phones on page and indeed M8 is not there, but it worked, so is not that.
There is any possibility to take an log on the Chromecast to see what is happening?
Sent from my HTC One_M8
Edit: Seems that the issue was the installation of the Viper4Android flashable zip. After replacing system image from twrp backup, everything is back to normal. It connects in no time.
What version of android do your phone use?
I use Galaxy Note 3 android 5.0 with Chromecast app to cast screen to TV attached with Chromecast 2015 device.
There is no default option for casting screen on android 5.0.
So I use Chromecast app to cast screen.
Everything is normal. I can cast phone screen to TV while I'm playing Asphalt 8.
I have switched phones to the Nexus 6P and for the first few months I was able to cast to screen again but now I lost that ability after experimenting with different roms.. yet I can still go to my friends house and cast my screen without any issues on his 1st gen chromecast.. what a strange issue
I switched back to the 1st chromecast, the new one would start overheating lol

How is Mirroring Treated by the Newer Android versions from 5 up?

I have a Galaxy Tab 2 P5113 that originally had Android 4.1.1, which doesn't have mirroring. I also have a Tab 4 with KitKat that has mirroring and works wonderfully well on my TVs.
I rooted the Tab 2 and installed Marshmallow and I don't find a mirroring button on MM (It does have a cast button, but the cast can't connect to anything). I have downloaded Miracast display, Mirroring 360 Sender, All Screen, Samsung TV Media, AnDLNA and Allcast, and none of them have the simple mirroring that works very well on the Tab 4--ie, whatever is on the screen of the Tab 4 mirrors to the various smart TVs I have that are about 2 years old. I will add that AllCast, for example, recognizes my Viera TV but won't mirror to it. (I suppose it could play video files that would be on my TAB, but I want to see my Tab 2 screen, whatever it is with some program or ROM. Which seems to mean KitKat mirroring to me so far.)
So, my question is whether my TAB 4 type mirroring will work on MM or whether I have to revert back to KitKat or possibly Lollipop to get the mirroring.
