Will HTC plan to support MirrorLink mode? - HTC One X+

Hi all,
Does anyone know if MirrorLink support is available for HTC phone?
I saw an video in this link, and they demo a HTC mode in Luxgen Sedan 5's Head Unit.
It looks like MirrorLink, but not sure if they are the same thing.
If there is any ROM that can support this feature, that would be a plus.

Not sure about HTC's plans (i've done a lot of mirrorlink related googling and never seen HTC come up even though they are mentioned as a 'charter member' on the mirrorlink website - http://www.mirrorlink.com/about/membership/member-list.html) - my guess would be you won't see anything from HTC on it for a good few months at least.
We are currently limited to only the S3 but there are a number of members here hoping for compatibility with other phones and so a couple of guys are kindly looking into it when they can. It might not happen anytime soon but worth keeping an eye on these threads...

Hi,
FYI
HTC seems now supports MirrorLink & its HSML(High Speed MediaLink) which will be available in MirrorLink 1.2 as well as Miracast.

LOL - nice, only took them a year Good to see other phones getting support though.

ML Over HTC one
HTC one supports Mirror Link. Once you connect you mirror Link device HTC, just go to notification area and press USB connection.
There you will get Mirror Just select that. After that your device can discover the HTC mirror Link Server. This works with ML 1.1 and it has HSML server.
It gives you very high FPS of 15-25.

I attempted this approach and all I continued to get was unsupported device. Could you post specific details?

What are HTC's plans
Have we heard anything from HTC and plans to implement Mirrorlink on their devices?

really? No replies at all? I think it's pretty bad that the ball has been dropped on implementation of a wider range of smartphones for this feature.:crying:

the mirrorlink is available on high end phone devices, such as HTC one, or HTC one max.
but I only tested in HTC device for TW SKU. not sure if it is available outside Taiwan, R.O.China.

The interesting finding is that: HTC implements MirrorLink 1.1 together with its HTC's proprietary mirroring technology HSML (aka High Speed Media Link) which is already included in MirrorLink standard 1.2) itself instead of purchasing RealVNC MirrorLink software stack like Sony mobile phones.

The HTC 's mirrorlink setting is in USB setting while you plug your phone to USB host side.

You must have ML client to connect to any ML server like HTC.
steps:
1. Connect HTC phone to ML client
2. In the notification area of HTC under USB connection select Mirror Link
3. Now start your client application and star discovery.
4. Ideally it should show the car application on client application list.
5. Make sure that you have NCM driver installed in your client.

No it is not. When I connect via USB all I get is a message saying "unsupported device"

[Q] ANT+

Does anyone know whether the Atrix will have the Ant+ ability? That would be awesome to work in my training regime

Looks like no. All the industry firsts were with Sony/Ericsson.
I actually read that the Droid X uses texas instruments WiLink 6.0 which supports ANT+ protocol.
Strange not to take advantage of it since it's already there! So I'm really asking whether anyone knows if Atrix is equipped with WiLink 6.0 or later.
Peace
Adam
Seems like a no here, according to ifixit site the atrix does not use the WiLink but instead uses a Broadcom solution for Bluetooth and Wifi. Based on what I can see, none of broadcom's solutions support ANT+.
However, there may still be light at the end of the tunnel. See this:
Ok, I'm not allowed to post links, google "spectec sda-323"

USB Host via MHL?

Hey everyone.
On the German Samsung site i found this adapter for the Galaxy SII:
http://samsung.de/de/Privatkunden/Mobil/Mobiltelefone/Zubehoer/etr205u/ET-R205UBEGSTD/accdetail.aspx
It allows the SII to be a USB Host. Does something like this also exist for the Evo 3d?

Like the above post said...you'll need Rom+Kernel support enabled...as of right now the kernel is only working on some evo3D's but not all. Chad has stated his next sense kernel should have it working on all evo3d's that have Rom support. At this time I think the only Rom confirmed working with Host mode is Olympus. I'm running Chad's Kernel & Olympus but still haven't got it to work. I'm just waiting for Chad to finish up his release, can't wait !!
BTW search Ebay for USB OTG or OTG Cable you'll see plenty
Sorry for my English .. Hello everyone first of all, any driver to control the MHL from the PC?
The truth did not know very well where to place this post, but I think the media is the main function and see if you're lucky, the idea is to propose or if anyone knows, the android can control from your PC, as the case Samsung TVs that recognize the application MHL Device Anynet + (post link). The idea is to connect mobile phone to a computer with a touch screen and control it from the screen contenplando the quality of this type of connection and future applications, CarPC, game systems, internet browsers.
So far the closest I've seen is through a remote program or Android QtADB Commander, but they perform a virtualization and graphics functions are very limited (videos, photos, games, etc. ..).
An interesting idea would be that an application for Android was able to control the touch screen driver THROUGH USB host our phones, this topic is more interesting and juicy indeed already been mentioned in some places but unfortunately I guess we have to wait to get the ICS to Partin, do not you think?.
For those interested in the latter is here.
Greetings.

Is it Bluetooth 4.0?

I keep reading different things. Will we be able to just always have Bluetooth on and not worry about the battery?
From what I've read, the phone should have Bluetooth 4.0
I asked this same question on one of the Sprint forums and there's a mix of yes/no answers to the question. Took some time researching product qualifications from the Bluetooth site, shown below, but haven't been able to reach a conclusion about the EVO 4G LTE. The HTC web page for this phone says v3.0+ but then other various web sites show a mix of v4.0 and v3.0. It wouldn't seem like a phone has support for v4.0 bluetooth smart if finding the answer proves less than simple. I'm hoping the thing does support v4.0 and hopefully on Friday the 18th we'll find out.
The site is:
www[dot]bluetooth[dot]com[slash]Pages[slash]Product-Listing.aspx
Select Phones and then the manufacturer (HTC Corporation)
This site states it has Bluetooth 4.0

It's 3.0. Link on official HTC site: http://www.htc.com/us/smartphones/htc-evo-4g-lte-sprint/
I saw somewhere there was a device that plugs into the headphone jack and makes it 4.0

I'm honestly surprised they wouldn't put in the latest and greatest everything. This seems to be the one thing that isn't. Oh well!
Well I know that it is compatable with bt 4 cause all it is is a very very power efficient version of bt 3 so if we got bt 4 we could leave it on and never notice battery drain.

I would take that with a grain of salt as they don't list anything other than Wifi for the AT&T X-One nor that this phone has BEATS Audio, so I would wait for a dev or someone with one in hand to confirm or deny the V4.0..
Will
Yeah although HTC says it's v3, on the Sprint forums one of the techs verified that it was v4 so that's what I'm hoping for.
Root: Android unlimited
in my phones hardware settings it says Bluetooth is 4.0 so that's the end all be all answer.

This is directly from the HTC site....where is everyone seeing 3.0??

HDMI over MHL?

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:

Lumia 920 Video Out

Im reading some conflicting information all over. Id like to know if there is anyway to do Video out from the Lumia 920. Id like to be able to connect it to a projector and present.
Any thoughts would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Should be possible... But by the looks of things, a custom rom would be required. That's what other phones need. I haven't seen anything for wp8 though except at the press release.

Video out is coming via DLNA
http://wmpoweruser.com/dlna-play-to-app-only-coming-to-nokia-lumia-920-in-q1-2013/
A developer from Nokia Beta Labs has released information about the status of DLNA wireless video streaming on the 920. As it turns out the reason it was not included is because there are some dependencies that need to be updated before it will work properly. They also indicated that Nokia would be responsible for updating the software/dependencies and not Microsoft, so this feature may only be available to Nokia Windows Phones.
The developer has indicated that the official release will be Q1 2013.
Yay, thanks for the update.

This is what I care about, not every monitor supports DLNA, I'd rather have some hardware solution, I can't believe it's not supported by default on any phone nowadays, it's a pretty basic feature.
I'm tempted to buy the mhl to HDMI adaptor from monoprice just to try it if I ever get around to ordering it.

To my knowledge WP8 does not support MHL output. For presentations they have always used USB to PC output (using a Microsoft only tool) and then connected that PC to the Beamer.
to bad photobeamer is not videobeamer
That would be fantastic if it worked locally but I understand the work involved for something like that. Hope that you find a resolution for this.

When the devices first launched and came to our organization - we ran into a problem with this - as it was a question we had for training our employees. M$ made it clear to us that there is a special PC driver they are using to enable this feature and that it would not see the light of day outside of their paid trainers. I personally think this is bull**** and needs to be released - plenty of good stable uses for this.. the iPad/iPhone has this - why cripple your device..
if anyone finds something that would work I would be greatly appreciative.
There are two options
1 Nokia wireless nfc beamer
2 plug the phone in to PC via USB and run the project my screen application (desktop) from Microsoft.
