Got an email this morning from Monoprice.com, One of the things it had was a MHL adapter for $10.20. Im thinking about picking one up so i play games on my big screen.
Monoprice has never let me down when it comes to cables. My whole house is wired from there products and has never failed me.
check them out.

MHL adapter takes the micro usb and turns it into HDMI. anything displayed on the phones screen is now on your TV. so using a PS3 controller and an app you can download from the market you can now play games on the tv using your phone as the console.
It will slow your phone down though, instead of mirroring, it actively creates both screens in real time.

This is not true. MHL output is mirrored in normal use, it is not a separate screen. Only exception is video playback, which is not mirrored afaik, however there is minimal if any performance hit.

I got it for $7 last month. It's great. Only think is that I can't figure out how to get Netflix to output on it in true HD. It's just stretched out and goofy looking.
when i use mine, my wifi and 4g stop working, or are just extreamly slow to load web pages etc.... takes like 15mins to fully load google. and i have a strong wifi singnal
anyone know why that is?

It won't. MHL is not a part of CyanogenMod so you would need a very experienced dev to implement it.

I'm wondering how well it plays with our Evos. There is also an android app released for it.
Yep we sell em at best buy all the time and I was able to snag one with accomedations through my job. Its amazing how easy it works and you can stream right off your hard drive to your phone. Just turn it on, creates its own hotspot and you connect to it. Its great.

that's great, the comments I've been reading on Amazon are generally negative, they all complain how the iOS app is nothing but a giant alphabetical list of all the music and other media, not divided into albums or artists etc.
How good is the Android app? I'm mainly interested in stock music and video apps on Evo, can they connect to this drive seamlessly and fluently? Does it appear like a network server to them?
well download the app and get a work around it. The interface isn't as clean as I'd like, but it gets the job done. You actually turn it on and then connect to it through your networks settings like your connecting to a network. With most things it'll download for a second to stream but then play right off the hard drive.

Saw it the other day and realized that with real use, the battery is probably going to be toast in under 3 hours....
i just got one of these. the battery lasts pretty well so far. the best thing about it by miles though is that it's built from a tiny linux server running on an omap3 cpu.
you know what that means right?
i'll give you a clue.

I had one of these for exactly one day. Sometimes it would work, sometimes it would not. At the time I was using an Acer tablet that had a USB port, so I didnt really need it anyway.
But I will say that it worked horribly for me.

can you post a link of the converters or cables u used? i got an extra rca input on my screen and i like your idea. think i may just do a HDMI hack, and run an hdmi and chargin cable to tuck my phone away. try to save on some cash, plus with some of the bumps and stuff i hit with my truck, the phone may pop out of the dock lol
im just dreaming, but the touch screen part doesnt work, just acts like a display, correct? not too long from now they will probably start making decks/screens with phone hookups, that will be the day i can sleep in peace lol

Am I the only one that is really excited about this.
Does anyone have any experience with the Media Link yet?
I saw one video that speaks of an opportunity to use the tv as the screen and the phone as a controller. How sweet would that be?
It would be better if you didn't need the wireless b/g/n router between your phone and this device. If they both can communicate with the router, why can't the phone communicate to the device directly?

Just received the Media Link HD I ordered from AT&T for my E4GLTE. I was surprised that HTC includes an AC adapter and HDMI cable in the box! Looks like it works - now just waiting for my phone to get here so I can try it out.
From what I can tell in the manual, if there's no wireless router available, it uses a WiFi direct signal. I plugged it in, and on the startup screen it showed a private IP address that wasn't from my home router.
^ Good to know! Thanks for the heads up! This is a huge part of why I'm excited for this phone.
Sent from my HTC Incredible 2 using Tapatalk 2
I like the idea of it and now that I know it works as such it just got better. Unfortuneatly, I would always have the phone plugged in to watch a movie or play a game on the tv. I assume the media link streaming a 1080p movie would drain your battery out before the movie ends.

They just don't have it listed because the phone hasn't released yet. The User guide has sections about setting up the Media Link.
Then I would Email them and tell them to fix that ish. That is misleading.

notice that it comes with a european power plug.
I want to use multiple gamepads, specifically for old emulators. I currently have N64oid and FPse.
I see N64oid supports multiple bluetooth controllers with the Bluez IME app. I have 2 Wiimotes and try to hook them up. When I try to connect the 2nd Wiimote it keeps saying something like "Error connection refused."
Is this a problem trying to use 2 wiimotes? I keep reading something about HTC's bluetooth stack is stupid compared to other companies. Will I have better luck if I buy a different gamepad like the MOGA or something similar? Or will I only be able to connect 1 at a time?
only one at a time just buy another dna and connect the other remote to that one and then you have to remotes but two phones also

Don't know if jackass troll or being serious...
Seems he knows what he's talking about in other threads, but he also lacks basic grammar. You're making this tough on me.
I did find out that MOGA only supports 1 controller at a time, so that's a no-go on that one.
hey man i dont try to offend or be a jackass. i only try to help in hopes of you getting your answer and yes i lack basic grammar typing skills as i spent most of my life working and partying never finished school to busy trying to work to help my parents pay bills as we were really poor and i dont like missing meals because thats how things were so excuse my sh***y grammar fella
so since i went a looked a few things up on my own here you go
most only support 1 gamepad at any given concurrent moment. in order to have two remotes running at one time is too go buy another phone. at one moment you will have 2 remotes, but on the other hand you could always just be happy with one remote and donate a develop model to me have a great day

Telling me to buy 2 phones is not helpful. I want to play 2-4 players on 1 phone. How will this help?
If anyone's interested, I bought a Phonejoy dual analog controller. I'll see if I can sync 1 wiimote and 1 phonejoy to it. I'll update this later with my results.
either way im very friendly and gave you your only solution at the moment as for your issue i think you can only sync one controller at a time period but i maybe wrong.
crpalmers kernel has had a complete linux driver swap so multiple syncing will give best results with his kernel. so if you are able the best chances are there in his kernel. so does that help you better?

This is what ruins forums and the Internet, posting guesses instead of factual information.
Yes you were wrong. I got my Phonejoy today and hooked it up. I am now able to use 2 controllers, 1 Wii remote and 1 Phonejoy. I played Mario Kart split screen and it worked perfectly. Now I need to figure out if I can get 2 Wii remotes working. I'm not sure if I had set it up wrong. I followed the same steps and the Phonejoy worked. I may just have to get 3 more Phonejoys :crying:
Does anyone else have information on the topic? Can you hook up multiple Wii remotes or is it better/easier with Phonejoys?

Yeah, I used a Sanoxy adapter I bought for the SGSII and it works, but only at 720p, which was a limitation of the adapter, not the phone. If you don't care about resolution, it was only $6 at amazon.

Works great mirroring every pixel on the phone at 1080p. Whole phone seemed a little laggy with it plugged in, but just a little. Playing video was smooth once it got going.
The Cable is perfect... HDMI to 3ft USB (for power) and 13ft MHL (for Phone). Charges while it displays. Awesomeness!
Hmm, I used my SGS2's MHL adapter too, and the picture disconnected in and out and made the phone choppy. On Tmobile H1 Stock Rom.
