HTC Media Link HD or MHL? - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Just looking for opinions. I'd love a wireless solution, but what do you consider better performance wise?
Sent from my HTC One using XDA Premium.

Depends what you want to use it for. If for gaming definitely go wired.

got my media link today, mc3 online works perfect, 1080p movie from sd card works smoothly im not sayin is best device ever but for me is ok.

Don't get a cheap mhl adaptor. I got a cheapy off eBay and it puts the audio ridiculously out of sync.

Buy the monoprice MHL adapter. It's cheap and works perfect. Plus, it's from monoprice so you know it's legitimate.

when you charge it with the mhl, does it do full charge or at half?

I had the Medial Link for about 10 days. Used it once on the first day and never used it again. Its great for looking at pictures, but when I was watching Youtube, I had audio sync (i.e. lag) issues. Returned it yesterday.

MHL Adapter

Just wondering which MHL adapters everyone is using with there Vivid...just a FYI i bought this one...
http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0380508
and it does not work with our phones. Just wanting to get a list of ones that for sure work and dont. Would save time for others later. Thanks
My job (I sell cellphones at Fry's Electronics) carries a similar item... not sure if it'll work. If I end up buying it then i'll confirm it here.
Item: http://www.frys.com/product/6716385?site=sr:SEARCH:MAIN_RSLT_PG
There are several on Amazon that work pretty well. You're better off sticking with an official HTC mhl adapter. I tried an mhl with a power pass through earlier this week and it was a no go. Its trial and error

I know. I would just like to make a list of known ones that work, to keep people from having to purchase multiple $15 adapters. It adds up fast
I bought the one from fry's a week or so ago. Works great.
I guess I'll let ya know after Christmas since it's all sold out since I put the link. Wasn't when I originally put it up. Oh well. maybe I'll spend the extra 10 to get the other one from fry's. The monoprice one was tested on evo 3d in the video I think.. can't rem for sure tho.

quality was decent, i didnt really do any extensive testing.. i downloaded a $.99 SD quality movie from the market and watched it, i wanted to make sure it worked. It was good enough to satisfy my needs. I will probably try one of the HD movies soon. Overall i am satisfied with it.

This is what I got, works flawlessly on the Vivid, quality is great.

So did you had chance to try to HD video? How did it trun out when you play the 1080p?
Sent from my HTC PH39100
I can only tell the playback of what I recorded with the phone's camera (1280x720) settings, the output is very clear and good quality.

It works great with HD content!
Is there a trick to getting the HDMI output to work or is it just really picky about the adapters. I purchased an Accell MHL to HDMI at Fry's (link in beginning of thread) and I'm not seeing anything.

I also found this on amazon UK for the same price. But idk weather its free shipping or not
but hey this looks too good to pass up
I saw that too but I don't think I want a dock that uses the micro usb, I think the risk of damaging the port is a worry, the micro usb port on my old HD2 is VERY dodgy after a couple of year of use, it also doesn't do any sort of audio output, which I know the Nexus 7 can do over usb, I am going to wait for one which uses the pogo pins and does audio out so I can just drop it in it to charge with no worry about the usb port and can plug it into my sound system.
Well I found one on amazon UK so maybe the other countries that have amazon will bring it in stock or ebay as well.

Sony Wireless NFC Bluetooth Speaker

Finally it's arrived this accessory also.
https://www.box.com/s/gj89efjjfujnw39vppuv
https://www.box.com/s/jm3t00fkxuwhujn39keh
Did you get this already, I didn't think they were out? Man i want one of these bad.
For anyone interested. I've had this for over a week. I must say I am highly impressed with this thing. Smaller than I expected. Great sound and no distortion. I'm no audiophile by any means but this little thing rocks. I've had no issues with it connecting to other devices from Ipad, Kindle FireHD, or Ipod. Only thing is the Ipad wouldn't control the audio volume, had to use the hard keys on the speaker. Very happy with the purchase. With shipping it was $126 off of ebay. Shipping was 18.00 from Japan.
I got one of these for my wife and its great. Shipping from Japan took about a week. Its easy even for her, all she has to do is tap it with the NFC. The sound is loud and clear. This is the best accessory I have seen.

There you go, £59.99
Thanks, price bit steeper than was expecting. Was hoping more around the 39.99 mark, but hey its Sony after all! Might have to carry on my hunt to add bluetooth to my iPod dock or get it once xmas is out the way. Just out of interest can you plug it over aux to a larger hifi system?

Guys i just brought this as well, very excited LOL
I was just wondering how loud does this speaker get?
It gets fairly loud, and good sound for such a small device. It's not going to be as good as a stereo system but pretty much everything I need

Is the Logitech the best keyboard to get?

I want a nice sized keyboard to type on,and I don't want a piece of junk either. The only thing that concerns me,is that apparently the web browsing shortcut key does not work on the Nexus due to it using Chrome and not Browser (was this ever fixed,btw?).
Is there any other quality keyboards out there,other than the Apple keyboard?

One thing that's always kept me going back to logitech has been their kickass return policy, usually no questions asked, and a lot of times your not even required to send in the broken/defective unit. Something to think about.

Wanting to use a wired keyboard on the nexus seems so...goofy...to me....

not the best sounding, but decent. I like my lg hbs 730 for bike riding. No wires to get in the way and stays on my neck very nicely.
I highly recommend you Philips Fidelio M1BTBL headphone! It's pretty expensive but boy. What a sound. I have 14 different sorts of headphones (I work for a music company) but this is my personal favorite. Battery lifetime is good, the noise reduction is perfect, real good monitoring of high and low ends. And it fits really comfortable!
And of course easy pairing with the m8..

What are you going to be doing with the headphones? Biking running lifting walking ?
I just bought the Motorola S305 headphones, they're $50 at Best Buy, but they will price match Amazon ($35), by far the best deal for the money. Battery life is not that great - 4 hours of talk time (listed specs), music playback is probably a little bit longer. They do charge very fast though. Range also isn't very good from my experience (phone is always in my pocket anyway), but that probably has more to do with HTC Sense which always has some type of issues with bluetooth...but like I said, best deal for the money.
I use it only for biking.

Great thread, I am also looking for he best value bluethoot earbuds to use while running or biking. They all seem pretty expensive, is there on option on the 30-50 bucks that is worth it?
Cheers
Ive also been looking into bluetooth ear buds, for work related reasons its not great to have wires hanging everywhere, Ive been looking at the Plantronics Backbeat go 2's the price doesnt seem too awful and the look to perform like other earbuds
I got these for about $20 AUD recently.
Looks like they sold out at the moment, but I am sure they will get more.
They sound good enough for what I need them for - work phone calls at home and a bit of music. And they come with a pair of detachable ear loops to keep the earphones in your ears while exercising.

I have two pairs of Soul SV3 bluetooth headphones. A lot of bad reviews on Amazon for the earpad covers not being glued on well, but when I got the silver ones they were $40. These are basically knockoffs of Beats, so not for running. One of the many followers that attached a rapper's name to their $200 headphones. These no longer endorsed by Ludacris. Personally I haven't had any problems with the earpad covers. They could've have done a neater job, but they are still glued on after a month of daily use. They have bluetooth 4.0 for better battery life and Apt-X which the HTC One M8 supports for better bluetooth audio. They also have a detachable audio cable and are nicely packaged. Definitely weren't intended to be sold for $40.

The LG Tone Infinims? I have them too, very pricey, but great sound, way better than I ever dreamed I'd get with Bluetooth. Definitely worth the but (though I may buy a pair off eBay and save some money off what I paid at the AT&T store, haven't decided if I wanna risk it yet).
Also got the HK Bluetooth headset. Compared to my urBeats the sound is amazing...
