HTC Media Link - Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6zcyCIwM_Oc
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.

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.

It IS compatible as stated by page 177 in the users manual of the phone.

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.

How was it so inexpensive for you? The sale I see says it's $94.99, which is only a $5 discount.
Edit: There's a sale going on for 30% off all accessories. Time to do my shopping! Enter code NWS16 at checkout. It lasts until the 16th.

I am not impressed with user reviews of the store, let us know ur experience with them

so for this to work it sounds like your tv not only needs an hdmi port but that it must be able to connect to wifi as well? I was about to purchase this and I have wifi at home but my tv does not have internet connection built in...

Video shows mouse pointer control EVO 3D HOW?

This video showing demo of ICS Evo3d hooked up to a 3D TV playing a 1080p 3D video that's cool, but I'm really curious how he connected a Bluetooth mouse with the on screen pointer that's amazing... Anyone know how to add mouse pointer when connected to MHL?

you can control your pc via your phone, onlyand not vice-versa with team viewer.
Still curious how the person in video did it, with a cursor and a computer/MHL cable plus monitor, a EVO 3D can practically replace a PC...

I don't know how this person is doing it exactly, only watched it briefly as I'm at work... But ics supports usb input devices. Wouldn't surprise me if that's how, but not sure how mhl would work with that... The port would be used already... Could be bluetooth devices but like I said, I didn't get a good look at

[MHL] Adapter

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.

Any way you could make an app that can replicate what s-beam does on the SIII and note 2? Using android beam to initiate a transfer of files by creating a WiFi direct link to nfc devices that make contact. The EVO has a WiFi direct option but doesn't do anything with it. Maybe you can expand on it?

You'd be my hero if you could do this. If you search the market for an app called "The little black book", you'll see a very outdated app that has all kinds of problems because it hasn't been updated in forever. It is the only app on the market that does what it does. If you could create an app similar to the aforementioned app, with similar features and layout, I'd happily pay for it, as would many others, I'm sure. If you need any other info/input, I'd love to help you in any way. Thank you for your time and the generous offer.

Being an Urban Explorer I wanted an app that acts as a toolbox for my explorations. Haven't seen anything Quite like this on the store.
It would be nice to have a main page sorted by exploration locations, and each location tab has the option to add scout photos, voice recordings, a camera based scanner to scan documents, link for maps, journals, etc. I could go into more details... Right now I have to use like 5 different apps or more for this... You could have fun theming it all dark and/or rustic like an abandoned building...

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.
That had to be laggy though right?

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.

[Q]Android Game screen to PC

Hey XDA Devs!
I play Dead Trigger and other games on my GNote 2 using Sixaxis. I love the experience it is totally console like!
To complete the experience, I would love to hook it up to a larger display!
The thing is I don't have a TV with HDMI support. I have a PC running Win7Ultimate (x64). I've looked at many apps like webkey and stuff. They do work but for gaming I can't do with that choppy frame rate.
Hope you get what I am looking for. Awaiting your expertise XDAers!
