HTC media link HD or MHL cable??? - HTC One X+

Hi, I have a normal 1080p tv. I want to know the difference between share the screen of the phone by hdmi/mhl converter or with media link. The both play the sound of the phone? The lag between phone and tv, the resolution and this things. Thanks in advance.

The mhl cable is cheaper than the HTC Media Link (mhl cable ~ 10€ / htc media link ~ 70€). But with the HTC Media Link you don't need a cable connection between your phone and the HTC Media Link because it works with wifi and you could hold the phone in hand while sitting on your couch and navigate directly on your phone for example. While connected with mhl cable the phone is being charged.
mhl:
+ cheap
+ charging while being connected
htc media link:
+ wifi connection (phone could be the remote independet to distance between phone and tv)
- higher price

I'd also like to point out that whenever you'd flash a non-sense rom (aosp,cm**) you won't be able to use the screencast functions.

[Q] Webtop/HDMI/Dock Questions

1. So I've heard that a HDMI cable works the same way as the HD dock, does it let you open theater mode(forgot the actual name) or hdmi mirroring with just a cable?
No mirroring yet. Theater mode pops up as an option when plugging in a HDMI cable. with a long enough cable it works as a great remote control.
2. Does the 'Theater' mode play video that was not created on the device?
Yes, but you should check the supported codec list on motorolas website, I have had some problems with some obscure audio codecs.
3. Does the Android window in webtop mode let you scale the app or is it a fixed size?
Yes its scalable, but there is borders on the screen that prevent it from stretching to the entire screen
4. Has anyone tried using storage(such as a keydrive) or wireless keyboard/mouse(2.4GHz not bluetooth) in the usb ports on the HD dock or the Laptop Dock?
FAT32 usb drives seem to work, haven't gotten to try a usb 2.0 hdd. Wireless 2.4GHZ peripherals work fine.
so HDMI mirroring is out i know that but still havent been able to test any of the rest of this in my trip to AT&T, as someone had locked the fingerprint reader to their print lol

[Q] Digital Audio Out? Re-purpose as "Squeezebox Touch"

So just wondering about getting digital audio out from the Gtablet. Is this possible? I have the Squeezebox Player and Squeezebox Commander applications on my tablet and while the sound is OK I was wondering about feeding that audio signal to my home receiver's DAC. Is there a working USB solution? How about taking a HDMI approach and using this monoprice adapter http://www.monoprice.com/products/p...=10110&cs_id=1011002&p_id=5557&seq=1&format=2 to send the digital signal from the HDMI to my receiver? Anyone have any experience/suggestions?
bumping this. i would like to know also.
Why can't you just connect your HDMI cable directly to your receiver? Is it because you don't have that type of connection on your receiver?
I have tried to get Squeeze Player to work on my TNT-Lite tablet. Everything seems to work except for changing the volume has problems. If you do have this working, can you tell me which image you are using?

I am currently using VEGAn-Tab Ginger Edition. And yes my music receiver/amplifier doesn't have HDMI inputs (in fact it only has either one coax or optical input). I did purchase the HDMI to optical switch but I haven't tried it with the unit stereo set up yet (maybe this weekend ???) as my Logitech Duet is currently plugged into the optical input.
SqueezePlayer coupled with SqueezeCommander are working great for me and I can even control it directly with the Duet remote or PC on my network. As they phase out this device I am going to monitor the pricing and eventually purchase another set as I have another receiver located in the "media room" (basement) that I might occassionally want the ease of the logitech device ... although now that their google tv is allegedly dropping to $99 perhaps that takes a backseat as I have a PC hooked up to that system and I can use that for music.

[Q] S III as a Miracast TRANSMITTER dongle

Hi All,
I use an SIII to output wirelessly to my Miracast-enabled TV, through Allcast share.
I also have an old laptop, which doesn't have Miracast/WIDI hardware.
I would like to use the SIII as a Miracast transmitter dongle, to output the screen of my laptop to my TV, using the Miracast hardware of the SIII.
So far I have been able to do so by installing the Nomachine NX server on the laptop, the NX client on the SIII, establishing a connection and then activating Allcast.
It all works (audio and video), but it gets a bit laggy and stuttering when I try to stream videos from websites, as the CPU load on the laptop maxes out.
I was wondering if there's any more efficient way to do so, getting rid of some overhead and lag? Either through USB connection or WiFi?
Thanks in advance for any thought
Regards
I am interested in this topic too.
Is there a Wireless Display TRANSMITTER or TRANSCEIVER which can be plugged into the HDMI or USB port of any non-WiDi laptop so that the screen can be mirrored to my Miracast receiver device?

Where the hell is MHL support?!

So my WiFi is down this week and I thought that's no problem, I'll just plug my s6 edge into the TV using the USB cable and stream media from my data plan... But my TV does not recognise the device as a media device?
So I read into it and Samsung have REMOVED MHL capability from all of its newer 2015 devices???? Why would they do this?
This basically means without a WiFi connection the phone cannot be used to stream media (other than Bluetooth music) to any other devices and also means our devices are incompatible with app car radios :good:
What are we suppose to do?
