"Nearby Devices" missing on latest Samsung Devices? - Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers

As the title says Samsung has removed Nearby Devices from the Note 9 and probably other devices as well.
I AM NOT TALKING ABOUT "NEARBY DEVICE SCANNING"
I am talking about a setting called Nearby Devices. If enabled I can use any device on my network eg: Laptop, Roku, or Mobile device to see and play media files on the device.
See screenshots for details.

It pretty much does what Bubble UPnP does. But I am not looking for a 3rd party app. I was wondering what happen to the native support/function.

They are pushing SmartThings. That does what you're looking for I believe.

Smart Things seems to work with proprietary Samung devices. If I enable the function on my Note 4 I can see my files on any connected device on my network. I'll try Smart Things again. Maybe I missed something.

Chromecast Privacy

Hi
I'm looking to set up multiple chromecasts around the office.
I'd like to know if users on the network can detect what is being cast.
For example.. I'm using one to show a financial portfolio, I don't want users on the network to be able to detect or see this without permission... The only people who should see it are the users in the room the cast is being presented to.
I don't want others to see the live presentation or the file name being cast.. Also I don't want them to be able take over the chromecast if its in use..
Can anyone advise on this.
Thanks

Don't know how to lock out other users unless you put it on it's own network. As for the rest of it.
If you use a password to log onto your network, and cast straight from desktop to chromecast you should be fine. The way I understand it.

Yes, if I'm casting a YouTube video and my wife connects to the same Chromecast, she'll see exactly what I'm watching as well as the playback position.
With the right application you can probably get information about what's being cast regardless of what application is casting.
Chromecast, is a consumer device designed for ease-of-use on a home network. It's very loose on the privacy, even considering the market, IMO.
As @rbeavers suggested, you can control access by putting Chromecast on separate networks, whether that's via separate APs or via VLANs, it depends on how your network is configured. If you go the VLAN route, make sure to enable Multicast support on the VLAN but not multicast routing.

Here is a good rule to go by.....
If Google's Name is on the device your Privacy is pretty much NIL! LOL
As @bhiga said, Anyone can connect to the CCast and get a report of what it is playing and where it is at in the playback.
So no Bachelor party tapes via CCast when the Wife is home! LOL
Thanks. That explains it perfectly.

[Android 4.0+, ROOT] AppRadio Unchained Reloaded

In addition to the well known AppRadio Unchained mod of the Pioneer AppRadio app, a completely Pioneer-less app was developed.
It's called AppRadio Unchained Reloaded and its available from the Play store here: AppRadio Unchained Reloaded
If you don't want to root your phone and have Android 7 or higher there's AppRadio Unchained Rootless
Video of AppRadio Unchained Reloaded in use by Alexei Andreyev: Pioneer AVH-X8600BT & LG G3 with ARUnchained
Another video by Alecion420: STI GR 2012 with ARUnchained+Note 3+pioneer 8000nex+Rockford Fosgate+Boyo backup Cam+SMY keyless
Video by Rubn: Appradio 3 - ARUR
AppRadio Unchained Reloaded allows full mirroring of your phone from your AppRadio. This means that any app can be controlled from the head unit screen and not just a few that are specially adapted.
For this app to work ROOT is required. Do not ignore this requirement and blame the app for not working!
V0.17 and up work with SELinux in enforcing mode.
Important
The 'Smartphone setup' on the head unit needs to be set correctly for Android as by default it's configured for Iphone. Go to Settings->System->Input/Output Settings->SmartphoneSetup and set Device to 'Others' and Connection to 'HDMI'. See this video: Smarthphone setup
Any other AppRadio related app needs to be uninstalled as this blocks the connection to AppRadio Unchained Reloaded.
AppRadio mode requires that your device is connected to the HDMI input of the head unit. Depending on the device this can be done with a MHL / Slimport / Miracast / Chromecast adapter.
Because this app may not work for your setup there's an extended trial period of 48 hours. In order to claim this simply request a refund within 48 hours after purchase by emailing the order number to the support email address.
Two versions
When your device has Android 4.3 or higher you will get version 0.31 which has support for automatic connection to wireless casting devices.
The user's manual is available here: Version 0.31 user's manual
Please read it as it contains all details about setting up a wireless screencasting connection.
When your device has Android version lower than 4.3 you will get version 0.29 without support for wireless casting devices
The user's manual is here: AppRadio Unchained Reloaded User's manual
Supported head units: any AppRadio that supports Android AppMode via HDMI.
For example: SPH-DA100, SPH-DA110, SPH-DA210, SPH-DA120, AVH-X8500BHS, AVH-4000NEX, AVH-4100NEX, AVH-4200NEX, AVIC-X850BT, AVIC-X950BH, AVIC-Z150BH, AVIC-6000NEX, AVIC-6100NEX, AVIC-6200NEX, AVIC-7000NEX, AVIC-7100NEX, AVIC-7200NEX, AVIC-8000NEX, AVIC-8100NEX, AVIC-8200NEX
Units that have AppRadio mode via USB (a.k.a. AppRadio One) are not supported.
Beta test version
The beta test version has the latest features but can also contain bugs.
You need to become a tester of the AppRadio Unchained Reloaded app to be able to get it.
Please apply here: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/mars.area51.arunchained
The following features are supported:
- Multitouch
- AppRadio buttons
- Steering wheel controls
- GPS data transfer via mock locations (only works with head units that have a GPS receiver AND do not have built-in navigation)
- Auto enables mock locations on connection (if app is converted to a system app)
- Wake lock
- Rotation locker (to put any app in landscape mode)
- Real calibration
- Start at boot (for use with Android sticks)
- Start on HDMI detection (for use with phones and HDMI adapters)
- Notifications to indicate connection state
- Widget for returning to head unit home screen
- Diagnostics
- Automatic Bluetooth toggle for improved connection
- Assign system app rights without the need to move files
For Reloaded to be able to switch Mock locations automatically, it needs to have system app rights. These can be assigned as following:
In the menu select the entry 'System app enable'. Once the rights are assigned the entry will change to 'System app disable'. When executed the system app rights will be revoked. When 'System app enable' is activated, the diagnostics will show 'Can switch mock locations' ticked. However it will not show 'Installed as system app' as technically it's not installed as a system app but nonetheless it has system app rights and the Mock locations can be switched.
When the app is still installed as a system app (by moving the files) the menu entry is disabled as it makes no sense. In order to enable the functionality remove the files that were moved to make it a system app first and then install the latest version.

Disclaimer: You are solely responsible for using this app in such a way that it does not impair your ability to drive.
Beta

Method for getting ARUR working on Lollipop (in this case the Nexus 5)
Update your phone to Lollipop using Wugfresh Toolkit. This allows you to flash the factory image LRX210 (which it will download for you)
Use the same toolkit to root the phone including your choice of recovery (TWRP etc).
Set SELinux to permissive with SELinux Mode Changer.
Check the phone still reports it has the right sized storage (16Gb/32Gb). If it is reporting it is half the size it should be, boot into recovery and wipe the data partition and it will get restored.
Install ARUR from the Play Store
Move the Installed application into /system/priv-app using Root Browser and set the permissions to read write execute
Alternative way to flash and root:
Install with the factory image LRX21O (not with an OTA update zip).
Root with CF Auto-Root.
If you get it installed and still have problems, Try:
Delete your Bluetooth connection on both your Nexus and your HU, perhaps a full reset on the HU, then re-add the Bluetooth connection.
Ensure the HU configuration is set to "Other" and not iPhone
Check ARUR has SU permissions in SuperSU application (or whichever app you have installed)
Check that your solution works to a standard TV (won't allow touch but will check the HDMI output)
New version released by Area51 which should mean there is no need to set SELinux mode to permissive.
Good news for those with locked boot loaders as his should now work for them with just root.
Is the nexus 6 supported, yet? If so, which cable is required?
Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk
just bought ARUR because of the newest update, but touch control still isn't working on my S5.
for my diagnostics, the only things not checked are:
no app interfernce
installed as system app
can switch mock locations.
do these need to be checked for touch controls to work? Thanks.

No. The one for touch control to work would be "Event injection". I had it reported working by some people with an S5 but maybe they used a different root method. It looks like there might be still some work to do. Would it be possible for you to make a logcat dump and email it to the support email from the Play store? It can be done with an app called "Catlog". Please first start Catlog first, force close ARUR and then start it, then connect to your HU.
Edit: No app interference, do you still have ARU/Pioneer app installed? If so uninstall it first. If frozen with titanium backup it doesn't matter.

I didn't reailze it before, but because ARU was still installed, ARUR kept saying Listening for Connection. Once I uninstalled ARU it finally connected. But I still don't have touch controls. I uninstalled it and now my app interference box is checked. the other two boxes are still unchecked.
I started catlog, forced closed ARUR, and then connected to the HU. Now how do i get to the log info so I can send it to you? I've never used catlog.

How to make a logcat using an app called Catlog
Start Catlog logcat through app menu and select record.
Select home button so you leave Catlog app running.
Go through process to start ARUR and connect to AR.
Once you know the bug was created, open the Catlog app from notification bar (this stops recording).
Select the recording, which is named by date-timestamp...from action selection pick share by email...this zips the logcat and system info txt files into one zip.
Email to self and share the zip with dev by email or any other method you want.

So I didn't see any options to share the recording in the catlog app. There's only a search function, pause button, a sort button, and a refresh button and then all the log info in a long scroll. I transferred the files from my phone to my computer and sent it to the email on the play store. If there's anything else I got to do let me know. Thank you.

Nexus 6 does not support HDMI out, so there will not be a cable. You may be able to get it to work with Chromecast though, it does not support Mirrorcast either.

I heard via email from blackcompany that it's working now. The thing that fixed it was to update to the latest SuperSU version.

Note 3 has always been supported.
If you mean can you use a device with a locked boot loader and SELinux in enforcing mode, then the latest version is looking good so far for supporting that configuration. You still need the device rooted and the latest SuperSU application installed.
i wish i had more thumbs, so i could give this app four thumbs up
Phone: OnePlus One
ROM: Paranoid Android 4.6 (using ART instead of Dalvik)
HeadUnit: SPH-DA210
Connection: WiFi hotspot and Chromecast (tried Amazon FireStick but it was cumbersome to initiate the screen casting, it worked though)
I have the service running all the time and use NFC tags and the Trigger app to turn on/off bluetooth, wifi, hotspot, etc. I'm not sure of the battery usage so far with the service running all the time (just bought the app about 12hrs ago). This stand alone app has really sped up the time it takes to get connected and on the road. I also am not using ARUR as a system app and have mock locations on at all times. My initial impressions have been so outstanding that I have uninstalled Tasker, Secure Settings, AppRadio Unchained & AppRadio Unchained GPS Injector.
couple of quirks...
1) when i check "Do not switch Mock locations", gps injection will not work. I have mock locations on already so its my understanding there is no need to "switch" and ARUR is not a system app.
2) during my testing i stopped the app when it was already connected to my appradio and restarted. it says connected but the touches do not register. on the old unchained app you could on/off bluetooth and reconnect with the headunit to get the touches back, this method did not work.
feature request...
i'm not sure if you are familiar with the screen standby app, but if you could have such a feature as an option would be awesome! one less app to have.
question for anyone...
if anybody knows a way to automatically start casting my screen upon successful connection to my appradio, i would greatly appreciate the advice.

Are you sure that's all that is required for converting to a system priv-app? Last time I did it, a library file needed to be transferred as well. Also, there are multiple permissions to set (owner, group, and other), so you may want to edit it the sentence to be more explicit. Finally, was the typo using a brace intentional? The Play Store link does not work as a result.

Are you using a 2nd phone to control the mirroring, or did you get around it by ignoring the warning in the Chromecast application? What does it do to your audio quality?

I see no Chromecast warnings. The only warnings I do see are from the Pioneer AppRadio itself. Also, I have to use an app called "#MirrorEnabler" in order to get the "Cast screen" option in the Chromecast app as the OnePlus is not an officially supported device.
As far as the audio is concerned, I would say the quality is equal to bluetooth 2.0. I listen to sport talk about 95% of the time i'm in my car so its not enough to out weigh all the other benefits. you can stop here or...
you can read this if you want a bit more information about my opinion with regards to audio quality...
i have factory speakers with an external amp & sub connected to the appradio. Also, my vehicle is performance oriented so my cabin noise is above average. With all that said, there is still a discernible difference in the below scenarios and I would rate the "cast screen" audio as on par with bluetooth 2.0
#audio and video compression over wifi with phone as the source
appradio + chromecast cast screen + oneplus = good
#audio and/or video compression over wifi with chromecast as the source
appradio + individual app casting (ie Netflix, Play Music) = better
#potentially no compression depending on the source
appradio + directly connected media (ie dvd, cd,usb,hdmi) = best
Now, replace the appradio with my home theater system in the above scenarios and I would rate all three higher.

That pretty much seals the deal for me to stick with a wired setup. As far as the warning goes, it is the one that pops up on the phone when the editing the Chromecast application options for the Chromecast device that is connected to your phone's WiFi tether. Chromecast doesn't like to cast a screen from the same device to which it is tethered, in my experience. So, I was inquiring if you found a way around this without getting such a device warning, and without having to use a 2nd phone.
DDash,
I'm very interested in your use of the AppRadio and the OnePlus.
Would you be willing to write up a short 'how to', and if any other equipment/cables, etc are necessary?
Thank you for the prededing information.

oh yeah, without a doubt stay wired. i was perfectly happy with my previous nexus 4 hard wired setup. My original nexus 4 never had an overheating issue, it just decided not to turn on one morning so every "repaired" nexus since (4 of them now) ,overheats to the point of powering off,when connected to my appradio over hdmi. So now i have a oneplus and only kept it because it was good enough over chromecast or firetv stick.

Smart View: Device to Phone ?

I noticed that the Note 9 has a new option in the Smart View Menu that says "Device to Phone" Im used to using the Phone to device to mirror my phone to different displays but can anyone elaborate on the Device to phone option now? Looks like its just limited to Samsung tv's mirroring to the Note 9? Can a few people try this feature out and see if it works with any other devices maybe. That would be really cool if we could mirror different devices to our phone now and use our phones as a display. Never thought about that as a feature but would be cool if Samsung gives us that option.
I have a T-Mobile Note 9 (just got it today) and it has no SmartView feature anywhere. Very disappointing.
I went to a local shop that had new Samsung QLED TVs. Tested it out with a Q9F. It worked immediately, got a prompt at the TV that a Note 9 want to connect and neede approval. All connection after that did not require approval again. I could see what is on the TV on my Note9 and on the phone I had options like "power" that would retain the movie on Note9 but blank the tv screen. I walked around the shop waching the movie on my Note9. There was a button "source" that I think would let me chose another input attached to the tv like a PS4? Almost like PIP but outside the TV screen. I noticed a small lag that would be irrelevant in movies but annoying on a intense FPS game on PS4. There was a noticeable picture scaling issue I guess because phone and tv have different aspect ratios. Might be fixable. Tried to take a screenshot of it but the screenshot was blacked out because of protected content. Will go back to the shop later and test this feature on other cheaper models. Very excited about this feature. And no one talks about it!
Tmobile Note 9 has Smart view, its in the quick panel
Need the latest update

You have to update your phone to the latest update. Go to settings and check for update. It should be "update 22" I believe. Then after updated it will be in your quick settings. Slide down the home screen and then slide down again to open the quick settings. It will have a smart view button. Click on it and it will have the new option for "phone to device" or "device to phone". Hope this helps

[Request] Windows 10 Your Phone "Phone Screen" Feature

Hi all,
As you all know there is an Windows 10 app/feature called "Your Phone" its amazingly helpful to reach your phone features from your Windows 10 PC.
Some of Samsung phones has "Your Screen" feature also, it is really amazing, you can see and use your phone via your keyboard/mouse and also drag and drop files to your phone is very useful. I think its Cast feature with input controls. I think it could be available for all phones with a magisk module, if there is some developer interesting this, it would be amazing if there will be a module for available it on all Android devices.

On non samsung devices you'll just need to install the app on your android phone. That'll do. View attachment 5041655

So, here is my workaround for the your phone feature.
I use KDE Connect, for transfering files between devices and at the same time it shows notifications as well. The software is very light (1.9MB of RAM) in the background compared to your phone. The other one, which i personally dont use, but has the phone screen/screen mirroring feature it's an open source software called Scrcpy. Hope this information helps.
Use the dell/alienware mobile connect app. It has the same functionality and can be installed on non dell pcs via a workaround with powershell. Works great. I had mirroring from day one almost. instructions are listed here, the top comment not the OP. Let me know if you can't find the driver etc

Use the dell/alienware mobile connect app. It has the same functionality and can be installed on non dell pcs via a workaround with powershell. Works great. I had mirroring from day one almost. instructions are listed here, the top comment not the OP. Let me know if you can't find the driver etc

To begin, what make the 'app' feature exclusive? Is missing features in the stock rom? then what features? Since I have a xiaomi I think I will wait the xiaomi version, but is sad how there's no alternative and no one created one to rooted devices, since the community is very big.

Question S21 ultra owners, please can you answer a question?

Having discovered that my S9 (now on Android 10) no longer supports individual "allowed devices" control via the hotspot, I need to upgrade.
But I cannot get a straight answer from Samsung about whether "allowed devices" is in the options on the S21 ultra. I specifically need to restrict access to the hotspot for different devices at various times of the day and cannot access the devices directly to turn their WiFi on/off.
Can anyone confirm what options are available please?
Is there a particular sub-category of options we can focus on?
There are many many options and I'm not sure where I should look.
Just the options available in the hotspot.
There definitely used to be an "allowed devices" option but that is replaced with "connected devices" (on the S9) which is just a list but there's no option to control access to individual devices in the list.
