Hi,
Anyone knows if the new HTC MediaLink DLNA Adaptor that was released for Desire HD and others, it's compatible with HD2?

Thanx
Great!
I wanna know too, but i think so if HD2 was running a Desire HD rom.
i think it won´t. this just makes your tv dlna enabled and not the phone. the hardware in the hd2 is missing to use dlna with it.

What hardware would be missing from HD2? It just uses wifi for dlna I think.
Is it definitely a hardware rquirement needed? Not e.g. a software fix that could be done via Android?
actually to test this i used my hd2 some time ago to stream it to a windows 7 pc.
so the hardware is enabled.
and won't just every dlna hdmi media player work, also the cheaper one
lots of things can be used as a DLNA link, such as the xbox 360, ps3 and a media center running XBMC or Boxee. really no point in buying this for so much but is so limited. buy a first gen apple tv and but boxee and XBMC on it. its much cheaper and u get SOOOO much more out of it.
Desire HD Rom and DLNA
You can enable dlna in the desire hd and desire z builds by going into wireless - wifi and hitting the selection button and then selecting advanced settings.
In this menu, at the bottom, you can enable dlna.
You need the receiving unit to be dlna compatible. Windows 7 is. I used my hd2 running the desire hd and desire z builds to stream content to windows 7.
I also tried with the xbox but was not able to for some reason. If anyone knows how to do it, I would like to know.
IMO The issue is more the receiving than the transmitting unit.
The HTC medialink just acts as a receiver and then converts the signal to hd using hdmi connector.
The connected media tab also allows you to play content from your network media on your phone such as pictures and music. I'm still looking for a solution for playing movies however.
DLNA is a protocal standard so in theory as long as ANY device is adhereing to that standard then it will work with this HTC media link. I've got DLNA working on my HD2 so I would expect it to work here.
Guys I got a PTV3000 which allows for widi & miracast wireless display mirroring. I had an Xperia Z which mirrored perfectly but my new HTC one dont ;(. I dont want to spend money on another dongle e.g. HTC Media Link. As the device has the capability. But I have not being able to connect it. 2 questions, will All Share App apk on Samsung work on the One to force it to display? or even an apk of the Mirror link app from Sony. There must be a way to connect it via an apk or something? any help would be welcome.
Google and see if you can get the APK's, install them (Hopefully they will instal) and try it mate, thats all you can really do. . .
All Share is from samsung and will not install on HTC, at least I didn't managed to install it on nexus.
I don't know for mirroring but i've used skifta for streaming media files to tv.
The phone does support Miracast for sure but you just need a app to use it.
I was able to view photos on my LG TV via the Sense gallery but videos would not work, kept saying cannot play back media.
A mirroing app like the Xerpia Z would be cool.
giotecno if you try and install it to your One and it works please share it.
[I sold the Xperia z and didn't extract the apk's so I am stuck. not sure where I am gonna find a program that will enable the miracast to mirror via wireless. what I don't understand is Miracast is going to be a whole standard why limit the phone so it just connects via your own proprietary media link dongle. Mind you with JB 4.2.2 update we might just get the wireless display option to use miracast.

So you can play games on the TV too?
How did you switch on the mirror mode?
After loading the latest firmware on my netgear PTV3000. I rebooted the phone and one it came on went to media out in settings and the device appeared in the list and then just selected it and the mirroring started in a few seconds. works great with videos games etc. there is avery tiny lag but its more than acceptable.

Nekromantik try this, make sure your TV is ready for MIracast and is looking for the device. Turn off wifi on phone and then fully power off your HTC Onc and switch back on and then go to Media Output this will enable your Wifi on the phone and hopefully will see the device.

Dear folks,
I have been searching for weeks now, unable to find a sufficient solution or even a general answer:
Is it somehow possible to mirror my phone's screen to a Miracast / Intel' WiDi capable TV? I know that some devices are, in general, capable of using Miracast for exactly that (S3 and S4, to be specific). However, I am not aware of a possibility for the S3mini, even though Google announced that this should be included from Android 4.2.2 on, and therefore would not be hardware-specific.
Im am currently running the 20131118 build of Maclaw's CyanogenMod 10.2.
Does anyone have any specific information on using Miracast / Screen Mirroring in the S3mini, preferably running CyanogenMod?!
Thank you heaps in advance!
Stefanotis
Any progress ?
Seems that no one cares, I have the I8200 ve and mo options for that, even tryed wifi display helper to show the hidden menu but it doesnt find the ptv 3000 in there as my asus hd7 does, we may not have the widi code in the kernel to communicate via wifi direct or something...
If you have cm 11 installed you have the option to cast your screen. I have never tested it but you can Google more about it. Hope this helps
Hello everyone. Week ago I've became a happy user of Xperia Z1, and one of first things, that I've tested is a screen mirroring, as i have a TV which supports miracast and has an option to Enable\Disable DRM support. It worked flawlessly. Yes, there was a lag up to 500ms, but for me that's OK. Then i've updated firmware to 4.4.2 and lost ability to stream phone's screen on TV. Changed many firmwares, including customs, but no luck. Connection dialog opens both on TV and Z1, but terminates automatically with message, that TV does not support HDCP. I can stream audio\video\photo via WiFi, but not phone's screen. As i understand, HDCP is a protection, wich allows to run DRM-encrypted media. And my TV should be able (and surely was able) to stream it. Just tested same feature on Xperia C with my TV, it works. Have anyone seen such problem, or knows a way to disable HDCP on Z1?
I imagine you have unlocked your bootloader?
I am not 100% sure but you said the connection depends on DRM keys; you lose these when you unlock the bootloader.

Nice one, but miss. My bootloader never changed, as i used only firmwares, not kernels. And first mirroring didn't asked for keys or something, only permitting dialog on TV screen.

Your are not sure about that but this make me think, are we able to connect with UB anyway?
Well I am at a loss.

Sorry I cant help more

MHL fork for me too, but it's really more comfortable when there's only phone in your hands and picture is on big screen.

True. I will be glad if someone know how to fix it so I will know more about it and maybe I will test ti too to understand if that working on UB.

I had the same issue before, on my SAMSUNG SMART TV with my XPERIA Z1, the solution, I just updated the TV's firmware and there you go, screen mirroring worked!
I'm on STOCK KK .757 by the way.

Prefer the DLNA and the Throw system or use a MHL to HDMI cable
The HDCP is just painfull and broken.

Yes, tried that too. My Phillips TV found and installed update, Samsung TV found nothing. But nothing changed, Phillips shows in connections menu, Samsung not (i think Samsung TV simply does not supports miracast)
Just found pack of patches for other android phones, which fixes screen mirroring. It's said, that screen mirroring stops working after rooting, and patch disables HDCP completely. There's a patch for Snapdragon 800, which i just applied, and got a confirmation, that it's working, but with opposite effect- screen mirroring service stops with error. So all we need now is to change patch (file /system/vendor/lib/libwfdsm.so) for xperia (and maybe some others) devices. Or it's pretty possible that screen mirroring will work if we just replace current libwfdsm.so with an older version, which surely works. I'm ready to run experiments on my Z1, just need that file from older firmware.
any update from this issue? I got the same probably after 4.4.4 update.
I have a Z1 and am having the same HDCP issue with a brand new Microsoft Miracast dongle.
According to the Sony support forum, Sony has updated to the "Latest" version of the HDCP standard and all these other devices are on an old version.
Sony is paranoid that we are all going to steel their content. Apparently they don't realize that this lack of compatibility only hurts hones customers,
the thieves already know how to get around these systems.
If anyone has older software I would love to try the option above.
I hate having to open the USB port every time I get into my car, I just want to cast the screen to my AppRadio. Sony should have made the magnetic charge port also support magnetic MHL out.
Apparently 5.0 will solve this but for now we are all stuck on 4.4.4 or older.

What's the difference between throw, screen mirroring, and cast screen. Ive tried throw and screen mirroring but its like no difference at all. It just shows your phone screen on a tv and thats all. But one thing that Ive seen is screen mirroring has more lag than throw. But whats really the difference of this three display connection features. And another thing, what is that mhl cable?
Good question. I would like to know as well.
