[APP] Samsung Smart view Dual View

[nygmam]

Works on Many Samsung TouchWiz based ROMs. Confirmed Working on Galaxy S2, S3, Tab 10.1

For some reason, beyond my comprehension, Samsung have this great app, but have yet to open it up to the SGS3. I have been resorting to downloading it and installing it on my HTC HD2 (Running CM9) backing it up with Titanium, and then copying the backup over to my SGS3, and restoring the backup. A bit round about, but works.

The App, for those that don't know, allows you, with a Samsung high-end TV or BR-Player, use the app to not only as a remote, but as a second mirrored screen, with audio. Great for trips to the kitchen, bathroom, outside, or in another room (although range is limited by your router).

[Supported TV Models]
- Samsung Smart TV released in 2011:
Models greater or equal to LED 7000, PDP 8000
- Samsung Smart TV released in 2012:
Models greater or equal to LED ES7500,(Models greater or equal to LED ES7000 in Europe, Models greater or equal to PDP E8000 Models(E7000 Models in North America)
[Supported Phone]
While technically only SGS2, it works with SGS3 stock rooted rom, but should work on most with a stock base. It will not work on CM9/10 and ASOP ROM's but you could give it a try and let me know.

Here is the actual app, I extracted it from my Titanium backup figuring someone could use it until Samsung get around to updating the Market to let you just download it. The only thing I can't get to work is Bluetooth power on. I can pair with my TV, but it just doesn't show up until I have turned it on. I also had an issue with it working over the the 5Ghz 802.11n band, but with 3.1.9 that doesn't seem to be an issue anymore.

Version 3.1.9 - 39MB - Confirmed Working for me with 2011 PDP51D8000 Model

Version 3.2.0 - 40MB - Also Confirmed working

Older Version 3.1.7 for those of you with issues

Glad it helped, It just doesn't make sense to not allow the direct download. It clearly works on the SGS3, so it makes no sense. They have also updated the app several times since the SGS3 release 3.17 was the version I first installed. So they are working on the app, just wish they would switch it on for us to access right from market.

P.S. If this app helped you, please hit thanks

You may have to look around your TV menus for the option to turn on networked remotes. I had an issue where I somehow disabled my phone and could not get it to connect. Also are you using a 2.4ghz or 5ghz router, if using one, try the other. Finally check your router settings, to see if there is something there preventing connectivity.

Unfortunately, all this has already been verified. Consider that already use a Samsung Galaxy SII and it works great, therefore the router is fine. Among the other with the 'SIII the program works, but also sees the TV when the connection is disconnected after a few seconds by sending an error message that says: "the first use to connect to the internet" .... ideas?

I am not exactly sure what you are seeing. Are you using a stock rom? If you see the TV in the list, but Dual View is not working, then it isn't seeing your phone as supported for Dual View. This could be a build.prop issue, or a necessary file is missing. If it isn't seeing your TV, then there is a connection issue. This is what I had with 802.11n 5Ghz. When on 5Ghz, I couldn't see my TV, back to 2.4Ghz and all was fine. I thought this issue resolved on 3.19.

You may try resetting your router, trying it insecure to see if you can get it to work, but I guess it can be a bit flakey for some. There is nothing inherent in the application, that I know of, that should prevent it from working on the SGS3, unless the ROM you are using is modified. In that case, make a Nandroid backup, install a stock (Rooted if you like) ROm and test again, if it works, it is your ROM, if it doesn't, it is your network.

As I wrote in my previous post using a stock ROM no brand ITA and my Galaxy SIII is not rooted. As for the router I do not think the problem here as with my Galaxy SII ICS 4.0.3 works perfectly! The Galaxy SIII see TV but while trying to connect it disconnects giving me this error: "connect for the first time you need to connect to the internet". Help me please!

From the router side I would agree, if you see the tv in the app, router is fine. The only thing I can think of is if this is an ITALIAN version issue. I know that when upgrading to ICS some stock ROMs for the SGS2 stopped working. I think this may be the case and something in the localization is causing the connection issue.

In your case maybe try to port the app over from your sgs2 as it could also contain something specific. You can use my method from the first post. Otherwise I am afraid you may need another rom but that's also going to depend on what ROMs it runs on. I only know it works on US T-Mobile but with close to 300 downloads yours is the first time I have seen it not work so there is hopefully a stock based ROM for you with enough not removed to let this app work.

Sorry it isn't better news. As a last resort, you could try to factory reset, install only this app. That way you can ensure no other app is interfering.

Good luck, let me know how it works out.

Ok thanks for reply, I will try to extract the app from my SGSII and try it. Can I extract the app only with Titanium Backup? Is there another method? As I said before the terminal is not rooted...

smartview not working on galaxy s3

I have downloaded the app from your previous post, however when I try to open it, it flashes on and off and I can see it discovered the tv but it flashes black before I can select it. Any one else experience this problem?

Sprint Samsung Galaxy SIII unrooted running ICS

---------- Post added at 08:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:33 AM ----------

Might I add this app was working previously with the un55c7000 and HTC evo 3d, and evo 4g. Previously working on SGSII before ICS update now flashes black in the same fashion as the SIII. All previous models were able to download from play store however none supported the dual view.

Have you tried both versions?

Sorry to hear. Not sure what the issue is, I just updated my ROM, and it still works well for me, not that that helps you

I know.. I have the 55" Cinema 3D LED and I'm kind of pissy that you have to have an LG phone to do this
