Hi,
does anyone have problem with HDMI out on these tablets?
I have tried las night to watch a movie using a miniHDMI-to-HDMI cable and the tablet froze and restarted after a few seconds into the movie.
It does this every time i start a movie.
the TV is a LG HD Ready, don't know the exact model.

ICS seems to solve it...

Hi , I'm a Atrix newbie and I have some questions about TV out :
- When I connect HDMI from Atrix to HD Tv , It's run Motorola Entertainment automatically. But I want to share my phone screen to tv (ex: I want to watch movie with an app like vplayer or mobo). How to do this ?

You can, but only in portrait
It's called HDMI mirroring...and right now it's only in portrait mode....just search for HDMI mirroring...

hi
just received a micro HDMI -> HDMI adapter, and tried the connection to my Sony Bravia LCD TV (KDL-40W4000).. it seems to be working OK, but i wanted to ask you all, if you have the same experience as i do.. just to be clear, i'm now on latest ICS international beta..
when using the device vertically (like a phone) the resolution/picture seems to be 1:1 (the picture/fonts/graphics looks OK, like there is no resizing), but when i use the device horizontally, the picture is not 1:1, and i can see that the picture is resized/stretched.. looks like a different resolution than 720p/1080p.. my TV automatically selects 1080p mode when i connect MediaPad..
anybody know what the HDMI output resolution of Media with ICS and those who still have honeycomb on their tablets.. anyone tried this with their TVs, Monitors? what's your experience?
this person is using MediaPad with Honeycomb -> monitor and it looks OK to me in both vertical/horzontal positions..

thanks a lot
My TV is 720p only, and I am not even seeing any video on the display, whereas it worked completely fine under Honeycomb.
Not sure what's going on with mine...
i've installed HC 3.2 (B016) to try this out, and it works.. the output looks great on my TV .. the resolution is definately is 1:1, so it looks like a real 720p/1080p output, and not that crappy picture from ICS.. so it looks like a bug/software issue of the beta versions of ICS released so far for MediaPad.. i hope it will be corrected in the final version..
The hdmi out is indeed crappy witch ics. Its not scaled correctly, the mediapad is recognized as 1080,-but its more of a 4:3 ratio.
Connected a sixaxis with bluetooth to the pad and wanted to play some shadowgun on the tv, but the result is just poor.
Lets see what the final version brings.

I get 720*480 on that test. DVD resolution, don't know if that's normal.

yeah, i get the same result.. when i tick the checkbox under HMDI test, my TV switched to a "480p" mode, so it's definatelly a DVD resolution.. nevertheless the picture is more "watchable" than the "1080p" output when the checkbox is not ticked..
what's strange is that when i tryed the output on a totally unknown brandname TV in a hotel (i was on a trip the last two days), it was a small LCD tv, definatelly max. 720p, the picture from MediaPad was OK :\
For those that have forgotten how it should be

So i interested myself for one htc media link HD and ordered it for an total of €73,50 incl. package sent
Because of the different models im talking about de dg-h200 from htc. Yesterday order came in and i thought piece of cake plug and play. Well it isn't plug and play and for every other person outside xda it would be an hell to get it working. I won't give up easily but i almost was going too!
Turns out the device delivered has a firmware 1.5...something and when you connect it it all goes well till you have too swipe over you screen to sent it out to the television. Then he want to connect and somewere about 70 % of the setup he quits and says there is an additional firmware upgrade. Would you like to install this? Well hell yeah i will. So pushing the yes button will bring you to another message that says "there is no newer software , this is the latest !
Somewere else on the forum here a guy did get it working without an upgrade of the firmware! But after reading true the manual i found out it had to do with ip multicast. Simply said if your router only providing unicast signal an setup like my phone and the htc media link hd connected to the internet and connected to each other not going to work.
So here is what i did
* I disconnected my phone and router (By disconnecting i mean my phone doesn't know the router anymore)
* Made an whole new setup for the htc media link hd by pushing the button on the front for ten seconds
* setup my phone for an wifi hotspot and then swyped three fingers over the screen so that the phone will connect with the media link
* Offcourse it will prompt you with an update of firmware but now it will update because of the hotspot setup.
* Thought i was done setting up the hardware with this upgrade and made my phone connect with my router acces point again.
* The problem still occured as i was almost done with this media link and willing to send it back.
* But me never willing to give up give it another shot and set up my phone again as an wifi hotspot and swyped my display to connect again with
the media link.
* Again it prompted me with an firmware update as i thought whats going on i all ready did so. I thought what the heck lets update it again.
* When it was done i got amazed from the fact it does updated the media link device again to 2.99...something firmware version
* So i decided to hold the button for an reset for ten seconds again so it was ready for an new configuration.
* Also made my phone know my router acces point again and swyped over the screen again to setup again.
* And there you have it working not asking for an update and doing what he needs to do. ... ! Or not ?
Tested it with all sorts of media,
* games not going to work as wireless give the game an lag time for instance with pinball you push to make the flipper shoot the ball. and done with the media link setup you mis because of the lag time!
Pushed an movie from my synology nas server to my tv ( Not needed in this setup because i can play them well true my wdtvlive hub ) but for testing. It play well but yep there you have your lag again from the audio
* Internet works and browsing true the phone checking photo's works
* Youtube on the phone works without lag time in 1080p
* Did not had any movie on my phone to play so coudn't test that but i recon i will play okay
But all together it is fun to have for 10 minutes and i going to sell mine because of the total not use of it i know will happen!
But the least i coud do is write an review over this htc media link hd for you all ! Excuse me for my english as it is not my native language to speak/write

The mhl adapter I have is an off brand from Amazon. Cost 3 dollars. It doesn't work with the specified app on the phone but as soon as I plug it in and set my tv it's all right there. Is there advantages to the HTC branded one?

I have noticed with Netflix and other online videos it doesn't look very HD. Videos I recorded with my phone and watch are great but I guess streaming ones look like crap. Mine is not the wireless version by the way
Never Die!
I got mine last week and all I had to do is:
- plug in power and HDMI cable
-promt me for updating the firmware twice and it all went through
- swipe three fingers and the whatever on my HOX+ its on the tv

Sometimes i just lay on the couch and reading forums/storys on my plasma trough this HD link
Help
Can you tell me how to make Htc Media Link HD working without firmware upgrade?
Sorry for my bad English.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
I don't need help any more. My device worked
Hi all,
Sorry if I missed it in the replies, but which item is it that seems to work well with the HTC One X+? Can I get a link to it? Also, will it work with apps too or just photos and movies?
Thanks!
The wireless link should not use multicast traffic... I can't think of any home routers that would support that. Why, if your phone is only sending to the media link, would it even need to use a multicast destination... if it did, every device in your broadcast domain (i.e. your home) would receive the HD content. not particularly good.
I suppose, if HTC wanted it to work without any kind of discovery process then multicast would work.. but this, and the price of the unit has deterred me. Especially since you can get a $4 cable of ebay which does the same thing, just using a wire.
With regards to my specific question, should anyone else need help, I bought one of these for my HTC One X+ and it simply duplicates whatever is on the screen onto my TV via HDMI. Works great!

My media link worked great as well. Did an update once I can remember. During this time I was using an old HTC One sv to cast Netflix mainly. Since upgrading to an m7, my girl has an m8, everything still works fine, except Netflix! It works all the way up to choosing what to watch. As soon as the video starts to play, screen goes black, just audio, you can still see the play button, the timeline and other options to top right in the Netflix app but video is black until you stop playing. I have posted in a few other places (not XDA), have read couple more of the same problems with no one answering those posts either. Does anyone have A-N-Y idea why the video goes black when it starts to play in Netflix only?
Really about to give up, O-N-L-Y reason I purchased the HTC Media Link was for the purpose of watching Netflix on the flatscreen.................. sigh.

I had my HTC Media Link quit working completely on video feed (not audio) with Netflix. Upgrading my HTC One sv to a Sprint HTC One m7. My girls Verizon HTC One m8 had the same results, mirrored our screens perfectly, played any video along with audio whether it was an email video attachment (asks if want to watch using media link upon opening video), or YouTube, etc.... Found other posts online with others having the same problem. I just happened across a forum posting (like 3 pages) from a Mr. Satan who was fedup with a scene in a favorite movie of his lagging in Netflix. He changed the bitrates (app version 2.4.1), made 3 different .apk's with three different frame rate settings. I tried the 3,850kps or what ever it is and it would load up on phone, let me choose video but the circle kept spinning a bit too long for me. Loaded the 3,000kbps .apk and it loaded up, played well. Went and linked my Sprint HTC One m7 to the HTC Media Link, everything came up in Netflix like before, but lo & behold, when video starts, it shows............ finally!!!!!!!
Only reason purchased this media link, not only because of the niftiness using phone on flat screen but for watching streaming account with Netflix on it!!!!! I am going to go post in a few places where people posted problems. You will not have lag anymore!!!!

Hi All,
Not posted in a while due to moving away from Android after bad experiences.. however I'm back with a new smart tv thingy :good::fingers-crossed:
I purchased a MiniX Plus H24 TV Box for about £35.. arrived, plugged it in and all seemed to be working well.
http://www.eachmall.com/goods-16793.html
However, I noticed the audio is slightly out of sync over HDMI and S-Video.. my guess would be this is something firmware related? I've tried different players.. confirmed the audio is in sync when playing on my laptop but for some reason it's out on the Android TV.
I'm a complete noob when it comes to Android Development if I'm completely honest.. wouldn't even know where to begin to look, even if this is firmware related.
I have a copy of the recovery firmware here https://hotfile.com/dl/198642035/88a35b2/h24_v1.6_0202.img.zip.html
Video is being streamed via Wifi from NAS, so I first suspected a bandwidth issue. However it's out of sync on SD video files and will play 720p without buffering the video (however audio is still out of sync) so to me that doesn't suggest a bandwidth issue as I'd expect it to just stutter on the 720p content
Any suggestions are welcomed..
Thanks in advance

anything?
Hi guys, I'm having issues trying to mirror my android to my new smart tv. I own a Moto X 2013 with Android 5.1 stock on, while my tv is a Samsung Smart Tv. Basically what happened is that few days ago I got myself this new Smart Tv and, while I was trying all the features of the tv, I also tried to mirror my phone to it with success, I was able to see my screen of the phone on the tv and even watching some stream flawlessly.
Now, after some days I tried again to mirror, but now, for some reason, when I select the TV from the drop down list, it attempts to connect and mirror, but then an error appears on the smartphone (stating that there was a problem mirroring the screen) and it crashes and I don't know why! Nothing has been done since the first time I tried the feature and I can still cast successifully to the tv (for example youtube). But everytime I try to mirror, I got the error and the crash, with restart sometimes.
Can you help me please?
EDIT: no one can help?
