The HTC accessory store has the
HTC Titan Media Link DLNA Adaptor DG H100 is stock (http://www.htcaccessorystore.com/uk/p_htc_phone.aspx?i=221871). Does anybody have experience with this kind of adapter? Is is worth the purchase? Are there alternatives?
In the specs it is mentioned that this device is running on the android OS. Will this influence the connectivity with the Titan?
Your thoughts?
Looking at the product, it's just a dlna media player to connect to your tv. Same as the PS3 and many other products can do. Any dlna compliant media player will do the same thing and will work with your titan. As to how good it is, I've no idea.

Hi guys,
1) I bought Nokia USB OTG HOST cable like this, and it works very well
2) I also bought Samsung Galaxy S2 HDMI adapter like this,
to try on Sony Tablet S.
Unfortunatelly (as I thought) - its not working.
So anyone who thinks about buying one - don't buy it(for now).
Maybe someone knows if other adapter would work?
Maybe HDMI support via microUSB port could be added
in software, of course after we will get root?

I too would also like to know if this would be possible. If i root my Sony S tablet would that help,or there is a custom rom i could flash to my Sony Tablet to enable the use of a micro usb-to-HDMI cable for video/audio output to my 42"LCD TV. I only ask bcuz none of my TV's are wifi/DLNA capable & Id like to use the Sony tablet for streaming Netflix to my TV's. I recently upgraded to the Epic 4G Touch/Galaxy S II & i would rather use my tablet for streaming than my Galaxy S II. Thanks for any info
It would be pretty cool to play a nice graphics game on the Tablet S with it displaying on the 42 monitor!

Folks, this tablet does not have HDMI out. Even when it's possible to root it, that won't help.

Galaxy S2 doesnt have HDMI out, and work with adapter. How can you be so sure that its not possible?
Hi Condi,
While the Galaxy S2 doesn't have an HDMI socket like you'd have on your TV, it does have the electonics required to do HDMI over microUSB. Unfortunately the Sony doesn't have this because Sony decided to use DLNA instead, mainly because their TV's have this functionality.
I did quite a bit of research on this subject before buying this tablet and confirmed it with Sony UK.
Sadly it's pretty typical of Sony to build their gadgets to work best with their own devices. Another example of this practice is the proprietory power connector that means you have to use their £30 power adaptor, which is pretty pricey for a mobile power adaptor if you ask me. It also means there is currently no car charger for it, which is extremely annoying too.
Hey guys...
The goal is to connect/mirror my tablet to a HDTV wirelessly without a HDMI cord anyone know/recommend a product that would allow this process efficiently? Thanks!

I've been meaning to ask the same question... I can't find and WHDMI kits for micro HDMI ports, and even the full-sized ones are bulky I'm hoping there's a better alternative that using a full sized one with a converter...
Currently I can't think of any products that I'd recommend or advocate.
WHDI is the technology currently being backed by several manufacturers as being "the answer" to High Definition streaming, but currently the number of compatible devices is exceptionally low.
The only product that I can come up with that is even close to what you're after would be this:
www(dot)galaxywhdi(dot)com/Product4(dot)aspx
You'd need a micro-HDMI->HDMI dongle as well and I'm not 100% sure it's compatible with Android devices, I'm not capable of checking from my work desk.

Thanks for the advice, but personally that device is way too hefty for me, and probably too expensive too.
I'm just about to move and am fine connecting my prime to the tv in the lounge using a cable, but that's not going to work in the bedroom. As I need to buy a TV anyway, would some sort of smart/wifi tv offer a (streaming/rdp) solution?
AppleTV is the only consumer product that I have heard of that provides this ability using Airplay Mirroring.
I recently read that there is a solution in beta that feigns Airplay onto Android devices, but I highly doubt it actually has mirroring, and can only be specific to iTunes supported media formats.
I only wish that Roku follows up on this idea and implements it into some of their models. Being able to directly compete w/ Apple at not just using streaming channels like Netflix but provide WiFi streaming from Android devices would be an instant hit.
Now when Google TV actually hits consumer hardware, you should be able to use something like iMedia Share to stream between two android devices. I stream my videos and music wirelessly to my PS3 using iMediaShare and it works pretty well, just doesn't have many options. All it really does is sets up a media server between the Prime and PS3. Luckily, the PS3 handles media servers very well.
I'm turning blue trying to figure out how to setup my flyer with an mhl-cable to the tv while connecting my wireless dongle at the same time so that I can play games on the tv.
I bought a usb-hub, and was eventually capable of connecting the xbox dongle in order to play games on the flyer. However, I can't figure out how to get the picture to the tv instead, so that I can use it as a regular console. It's either only the tv, or only the dongle (via a usb-hub connected to a usb otg-cable) that could be plugged in. Has anyone else been able to get both working, and if so, how?
I'm running stock HC, I've got a nokia ca-157 cable, an mhl-adapter and a usb-hub.
Not sure I understand what you are trying to do, but you cannot operate USB OTG and MHL video at the same time. If you need wireless you should use a router, not the USB connection.

He's trying to use an Xbox controller(corded) for games on his flyer, and output the display of those games to the TV...which as you said isn't possible.
Ok, now I understand. Correct, not physically possible.
Sorry if I wasn't clear enough.
I did refer to wireless controllers that connects to an xbox-usb-dongle that is needed, since MS didn't choose to use regular Bluetooth.
I know it would be easier with ps3- or wii-controllers since they only need regular bluetooth. Though, they're very expensive, so I'd prefer trying to get my wireless xbox controllers work. But if it's not possible to use wireless xbox controllers and tv-out simultaneously, I guess I'll have to go shopping.
How about using this Bluetooth controller for $39.99.

Here are some other options

DigitalMD,
They're not available in my country, unfortunately. Thanks for your help, anyway!
casperi,
No, I was probably wrong about that one as well. Most HTC devices apparently won't work with sixaxis. Really annoying since I bought the flyer with the intention of using it as a video game console. I knew several others were capable of it, and HTC are known for good quality, so it seemed reasonable it would work. Hope Google's tablet will work better.
Has anyone tried HDMI over MHL with this phone yet? Everywhere I look, the tech specs say the phone is MHL compliant, but my htc adapter (from an old Rezound) does nothing when plugged in. Does anyone know if this is even supported on the new Incredible? I can't seem to find a straight answer.
Same here, I would also like to know why 2 of my MHL adapters don't work with this phone? is there a setting that need to be turned on or is there no HDMI support for it? has anyone been able to use HDMI out at all?
Got this today from HTC about HDMI out for the Droid Incredible 4G LTE...
"I do apologise, but the Incredible 4G LTE does not support HDMI out, however, there are other ways to share you pictures and videos.
The first is a service called DLNA, where you can share you pictures, videos and music to other DLNA compatible devices using the Wi-Fi network in your home. To access this feature on your phone, I will have you go to your home screen, then tap on All apps, open the Gallery, then open the picture or Video. While looking at the picture or playing the video, tap More, then Select Player. You should then see the option for the other DLNA players on your Wi-Fi network.
To play Music over Wi-Fi, open the Music app, then tap on My phone. Select a song that you want to listen to, then tap Menu, then Select Player.
For more information on the DLNA technology, please check out the following website: ***
The other option to share your pictures, videos and music is using the HTC Media Link HD accessory. It can be found on the following website: ***

Any luck getting this to work? When I select a pic or video and tap More, I see my Sony TV and Sony receiver listed but not sure what to do from there.

According to the official specs, it does support it. Also, there are multiple MHL-to-HDMI accessories being sold which specifically state they are designed only for the Droid Incredible 4G LTE. Perhaps there is something specific in the connector which is needed for our specific phone. I would like to purchase one, but I don't really have the need. I realize that if you were giving a presentation somewhere with a TV with HDMI, but no computer, it would prove its value, but I'm generally not doing that, so I can't justify the cost.

They're pretty expensive, but they should work.
There are ways you can view your phone on your computer, and if you have an HDMI out and a TV with HDMI nearby, you can set it up to be viewed that way.
Android Screencast - Works pretty well, but needs root to be able to be interacted with the mouse and keyboard via the computer. You can still view what you're doing on your phone without root, though. Also, you can record your phone's screen with it.
Dalvik Debug Monitor - Can't interact with this one, and you have to manually refresh it, but it's part of the Android SDK.
Webkey - ROOT REQUIRED - Works great. You can interact with it and view changes at a much faster rate than Android Screencast. I used it on my old Incredible. A little laggy at times, but they've updated it since I last used it, so maybe it got better. If I recall correctly, you could set it up to be viewed from any computer on the internet, regardless of where you were accessing it from.
I really hope your right. That's why I contacted HTC about it.
And...
That's why I'm so confused. I bought one of the MHL adapters that "support" the Droid Incredible 4G LTE but it didn't do anything when plugged in. And the other one I used was an old Galaxy SII MHL that I had laying around and it had the same outcome.
Also I have yet to read that someone was able to use an MHL adapter to view HDMI out on a TV with this phone?
Just trying to get to the bottom of this as there are many places that say it has HDMI out via MHL but nothing more than that...
ANYONE who has gotten HDMI to work via MHL please post so I know that it works please
"Thank you for taking the time to contact HTC technical support. I will gladly assist you with your inquiry regarding the possibility of the Incredible 4G LTE using MHL.
Although the Incredible 4G LTE supports streaming media via the HTC Media Link or DLNA, it does not support HDMI via MHL adapter. Also, for accessories for your Incredible 4G LTE, we recommend that you check with your carrier first for any accessories for our devices. The following sites are the most popular for HTC accessories, that we can recommend:
1.) Shop America
2.) Let's Talk
NOTE: We do not recommend trying to obtain HTC America products from online auction sites or little known resellers outside of the US and Canada."
I guess it's official... The DROID Incredible 4G LTE does not support HDMI via MHL adapter. Damn :crying:
I saw this video today and wondering that device can work on other brand like moto.
I have a TV without DLNA therefore i m looking for a device like that.
Supposely DLNA is not only for HTC, it's a wifi technology.
or maybe it's a android function?
anyway if anyone understand how that work please answer me. thx:good:
