Hi,
Anyone knows if the new HTC MediaLink DLNA Adaptor that was released for Desire HD and others, it's compatible with HD2?
http://www.htcaccessorystore.com/pt/p_htc_item.aspx?i=207011
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.
I have a lg smart TV with miracast and even though it shows my moto x as available it won't connect. The moto x does not show the TV available, miracast on the tv does the device search but the moto does not search for a device. Any one tried to use miracast?

You should be searching devices from your phone. Go to settings display wireless display and try to search while miracast is enabled on your TV you're basically setting up a hotspot from phone to TV

My smart tv is a bit finicky like that. Try going into the app you want on the tv and you should be presented with a way to connect to it through the browser. ie. when I use the youtube app to cast to my tv I have to scan a barcode first that is provided through the tv's youtube app interface before I can begin casting. Once I disconnect from my tv I have to do the process all over again. Maybe yours is the same way? Doesn't hurt to troubleshoot and see what options you have available.
I want to share my pictures or even video taken on the phone but there is not a share option to share with a TV available. I hoped to play on the phone and share via miracast to the TV. And not having a HDMI or mhl connection is a deal breaker for me ( thought miracast would make up for the lack of hdmi /mhl). What a waste of money this phone has been!, its a phone I can't recommend until a solution is available.

Further information
1) Is the TV's firmware up to date?* yes
2) Are you using an app to get the two devices to talk to one another, or just the native Android Miracast support? native
3) Are you using the Wireless Display settings or Cast Screen - because Cast Screen is just for Chromecast.* Wireless display setting, getting closer now as I've turned off the TV's widi option and using wifi direct the phone finds the TV and TV responds requesting to accept phone connection but after about 45-60 seconds of the 120 this fails.

What exactly are you looking to do? Since you mention Miracast, I'm guessing you want to "share" or "stream" your X's display onto your TV.
As for the certification for your TV.. Please look closer at the certification certificate for that TV... -> http://certifications.prod.wi-fi.org/pdf/certificate/public/download?cid=WFA15025 while it lists various WIFI certifications (like for basic wifi connectivity needed to connect to a hot spot and use the SmartTV & DLNA features), it does not list Miracast. Where as the certificate for a TV such as the LG 55LB6300 -> http://certifications.prod.wi-fi.org/pdf/certificate/public/download?cid=WFA52662 DOES list Miracast.
LG's web site -> http://www.lg.com/uk/tvs/lg-32LS575T-smart-tvs doesn't list Miracast, but does show WIDI and Wifi display, which as far as I understand, are different than Miracast.
So like Bluetooth, WIFI certification does not mean that ALL possible features/protocols are included in the certified device.
I don't believe the X supports WIDI or Wifi Display. But it is supposed to support Wifi Direct (according to its certification certificate)
Since your TV supports Wifi Direct, shouldn't it be able to be used? Well, from my understanding, you can transfer content via Wifi direct, but I don't think you can "stream" them from your phone to TV's screen this way. (Samsung illustrates the process of Wifi Direct here -> http://www.samsung.com/us/support/howtoguide/N0000005/7954/53595 and it only transfers files, you'd then need to navigate the "target" device's internal storage to locate and play the content that was transferred). However this Sony video -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4_QrYSEN2Vo implies you can play a video or picture on your phone, and have it show on your TV. I'll have to try that later today when I get a chance.

Thank you for your comments.
I understand that Miracast is limited to Wi-Fi Direct supported devices.
I want to mirror the phone display on the TV and by that means stream video on the phone to the TV.
You quote "I don't believe the X supports WIDI or Wifi Display." so why in phone settings is Wireless Display option, this what used with the TV wireless display on (under the Widi option trying to connect to the phone I get get on phone saying widi is not supported).
The phone searches for the TV shows available tap option to connect phone show waiting for connection, at this time the TV shows phone available tick and select TV asks do you wish to connect yes next screen is waiting for connection time limit to connect is 120 seconds.
Phone responds after about 80-110 seconds connection failed.
I agree LG do not show the TV as miracast enabled but do state it has wireless display connectivity ( and widi connectivity), so I may be quote miracast in error.
Also both the TV and the moto X are list by the Wifi Alliance as certified for wireless display connectivity which is widi or miracast.
So having devices certified is not a prerequisite to connectivity, so what is the point of the wifi alliance.
I was naive to believe that devices that are have wifi alliance approvals would also connect to each other, it either LG or it Motorola, I've the question with LG support they blame Motorola. I've got no answer from the Motorola support.
So I'll not be changing the TV but I can change the phone (unless someone can provide a solution
the only true way to mirror the phone on the TV is HDMIor MHL so the next phone will have either a HDMI or MHL connectivity, wireless display just does not work, there are too many industry standards, the wifi alliance is not providing a prerequisite that all devices connect.

You need to look into it further. The Wireless display option on the X under App Drawer -> Settings -> Display -> Wireless Display... the learn more link takes me to -> http://help.motorola.com/hc/apps/wd/10/en-us/lm-wireless.html which states "To get started, you need a Miracast™ compatible HDTV or a Miracast wireless display adapter to connect to your HDTV"
As for the Wifi Alliance and certification... there are basic wifi connection standards which ensure interoperability between devices, brands, etc. And then there are wifi features that can be add on. This doesn't mean every Wireless N device supports all the same features (look at Wifi N.. you can have 2.4ghz or dualband 2.4Ghz+5Ghz Wifi N).
To help explain that better, think of Bluetooth and phones.. something OLD I wrote up -> http://mark.cdmaforums.com/BT-PHONE.htm all the phones listed on that page are BT certified... But notice the different profiles each support? Same thing with wifi and wifi certification.
for the rest, I'm late for my son's T-ball game, so I'll reply later when I get a chance...

From what I've been able to find and read on the subject, Wifi Display, WiDi, and WiFi Direct are different. WiDi is an intel standard that has been out for a few years. Its used by intel based PC's and laptops to use a TV as a monitor without wires. Wifi Direct can connect two wifi devices directly, and can be used to transfer files. Wifi Display I'm still learning about as it appears to just be an underlying component to Miracast and Miracast Certification, not something used separately.
from the 5 Frequently Asked Questions on -> http://www.wi-fi.org/content/search-page?keys=Wifi display#.U2-IAIFdUhE
Code:
[B]What is the difference between Miracast and Wi-Fi Display?[/B]
Miracast is the brand for the certification program operated by Wi-Fi Alliance. Devices that pass this certification testing can be referred to as “Miracast devices”. Miracast certification is based on the Wi-Fi Alliance Wi-Fi Display Specification. This is the underlying technological specification developed by Wi-Fi Alliance members, and is copyrighted and owned by Wi-Fi Alliance.
[b]How is Miracast related to Wi-Fi Direct?[/b]
Wi-Fi Direct allows devices to connect directly to each other, without the need for a Wi-Fi AP, and requiring just the push of a button, the entry of a PIN, or tapping two NFC-capable devices together. Wi-Fi Direct allows source and display devices to discover one another and provides the underlying device-to-device connectivity for Miracast. Miracast builds upon Wi-Fi Direct with mechanisms to negotiate video capabilities, setup content protection (if needed), stream content, and maintain the video session.

Widi is NOT Miracast, see the above WiDi link I supplied. WiDi and Wifi Display are not listed on the certification documents for your TV and the X, only Wifi-Direct. In addition to Wifi-Direct, the certification sheet for the X also lists Miracast-Source.
So with the LG web site claiming Widi and Wifi Display, they might not have received certification for it. Why can they show the wifi alliance certificaiton on their box? Maybe because they received certifications for the other parts (like wifi-direct and connectivity)?

There are various levels of Wifi Alliance certification. Basic connection, Basic interoperability standards, backwards compatibility, etc. They ensure that you pick up a Wireless G card from belkin and it connects to your Netgear Wireless G router, or that your wireless N card can work with your B, G, or N router properly, etc. Just that "connect" needs Wifi Alliance certification, and that is enough to bare the symbol on the box. Then there are the "add-ons" like Wifi Direct, Miracast, etc.
My older LG BD390 and BD570 bluray players have the Wifi Certification logo on the box. Only wireless they can do is make a connection to a B, G, or N access point.
Think of it this way... You can buy a Buick Verano... get it equipped with or without Nav, with our without leather type interior, with or without sunroof... but any way you buy it, its a Buick Verano. Yeah, its not the best analogy, but I hope it, and the bluetooth link for the older phones I provided, illustrates different configuration possibilities while still being able to have the "certification" logo.
Oh, and there is similar dis-function in the DLNA certification process!! (even though my BD390 and BD570 received DLNA certification and have the logo on the sides of their boxes, they do not properly adhere to DLNA standards so some DLNA servers like Serviio and others don't properly work with them)

Each vendor is going to blame the other. That is how it goes. They build their devices to a "standard" and get it "certified" so they think it must be the other guy's fault.

As suggested earlier, you could buy a real Miracast dongle for your TV. It will probably be more cost effective than replacing the phone.
Or you could by a Samsung phone. I think they still support MHL on the S5. Or they support their AllCast Share (which would need a device for your TV to make work).
All that being said, the Wifi Alliance Certification certificate for my Sony KDL-5HX750 is very similar to yours, except your TV supports 5Ghz A band wifi, where mine does not. Both only list WPA/WPA2 Security, Wifi B, G, N, Wifi-Direct, WMM, and WPS.
The X (XT1060/XT1050/XT941L) lists those plus support for Wifi Direct and Miracast Source.
So in the interest of this discussion, and to see what is possible, I tried Wifi Direct via the following -> http://www.sony-asia.com/microsite/bravia_i-manuals/FY11/GA/eng/HX920_DS/nt_wfdirect.html and I can make the connection. If I follow -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C0wnkZUVDKs I get to the 1:20 mark just fine, and the connection is established. The video then demonstrates "throwing" content from the device. The built in video player and photo gallery apps on the X do not have these options, unless I can find an add on app in the store?
I need to better understand the statement of "media remote" in the video since Sony does have a Media Remote app in the PlayStore, but that has been replaced by what looks like a TV remote only app. Installing the older Media Remote (OLD) app from the play store, In DEMO MODE I do get throw/catch options on my phone. I will have to get time to try and use this while connected to my TV. Its Mothers day, so that will have to wait.
Ivy did know there is a difference between wifi direct (file transfer) wifi display (streaming) widi (Intel streaming). I have widi working with my Intel tablet. But ive not got WiFi display working with TV/phone may be because the tv is not branded as miracast. Reading your post I read as there are 2 WiFi display standards, one of which is the miracast brand the other unbranded and from my experience you can't make connectivity between the two. TV ( WiFi display) will not connect to moto x (miracast) even both are certified. So miracast:miracast or WiFi display:WiFi display only
But not WiFi display:miracast

Without linking to any specific product i'm curious about the tech related to these 'USB Sticks' that plug into my cars 'Android Auto' USB port and provide a full Android experience for my factory OEM touchscreen radio.
I'm not sure of all the acronyms used in the posts i'm finding on XDA, I don't believe I'm looking for a head unit as I want to use my existing radio. Android Auto enabled, touchscreen.
Can you make such a device from a Raspberry PI, or Arduino, or boot off an SSD/SD/USB Adapter? Plug and Play, hijacks the OEM software and bootloads full android?
TIA!
My understanding is that if you're car is not Android Auto enabled then you will not get anything to work.

These are of poor quality and poor experience. They may work for a while then break as google/apple update their products.
Unfortunately indiegogo is being used more often by unscrupulous Chinese origin resellers peddling their grey wares.

I'm afraid of being a "hostage" of some short term projects (exactly as Marchnz wrote - working for a while until the first update). Therefore I want to build my dongle using standard components - SoC (Odroid, RPi, ... ) with a supported Android (Lineage, ...) and "common" protocol (Android Auto, Mirrorlink, ....).
At the moment I'm stuck with Android Auto showing only black screen (the car is authorized and play the sound but no screen output). Mirrorlink (as an alternative to AA) can't be used because the device is not certified for that and I haven't found an "unlocked" Mirrorlink APK.
I have to investigate the Carplay option (aka "Apple Pie").
I have cardongle for a month new and work 100%
I wishing you being satisfied with that for years.
Personally, I wan;t to avoid being locked with a proprietary product without uncertain updates.

adrien974,could you please describe your working setup including used versions?
I have been testing these components (trying their combination) without success:
- Odroid N2 (there's nothing to discuss)
- Android OS (Hardkernel Android PIE 32 bit 20200520 and PIE 64bit versions 20201105, 20210414, and 20210531) installed on eMMC
- Bluetooth module v5.0 with enabled BT stack (although BT stick blinks its' not visible and can't find out other BT clients). Tested also without BT stack and BT module inserted - the same result
- Open GApps arm64 9.0 pico (20200918, 20210619, and 20210518). The only version 20210518 seems to provide AA support - when Odroid N2 connected to the OTG cabel, AA starts on N2 (however, no video output). The other versions didn't start AA on N2.
- Google app (version 12.18.11.23 and the latest one)
- Google Maps (always the lates one - installed via Google Play)
- Android Auto arm64 (5.9.604644, 6.3.611334, and 6.5.612134) - Google is enforcing to update to the latest AA. I was able to try 5.9 a month ago, now it requires to update to the latest one.
- time synchronized via the Internet
Hi,
all my applications are up to date except Android auto which is in version 6.2
Did you do any "special configuration" (disabled ADB, enabled bluetooth stack, changed rendering, ....)?
I suppose you added you Google account to Play and disabled automatic update for Android Auto?
Do you have a HDMI display connected or are you using fixed resolution (so you don't need connected display)?

- USB mode = no data transfer
Android Auto:
- 5.9 doesn't connect to the car
- 6.0 doesn't connect to the car
- from 6.1 to 6.5 connects to the car but only blank screen appears
I also tried:
- restarting car infotainment (no change)
- installing Google and AA as system-priv app (using Magisk and Systemizer, no change)
- clearing storage and cache of AA after each upgrade (no change)
- changing USB mode (no change)
- changing Odroid HDMI resolution (no change)
- changing AA mode in developer settings from release to developer (no change)
I suppose I'm not the chosen one and going to use the old dedicated phone, which I wanted to replace by N2 (or any other SoC).
Btw. to be able to use older AA than the current one I had to clean cache and storage of Google Play sevices and Google Play store and deny internet access for them using AFWall+. Otherwise, the AA wizard required to update AA to the latest one.
When you connect to Android Auto for the first connect you have screen on odroid n2?
Yes, connecting N2 to the ca, for the first time (or after cleaning the storage for the AA), I get a wizard on the N2 (therefore I have connected HDMI <--> USB converter to see that on the laptop) asking for six or seven permissions regarding the location, microphone, ... and another one related to let AA show notifications over UI. During this time there's a message on the car's infotainment to "look at the phone's screen once safe". Therefore I believe AA is "ready to be used".
Connecting to the car for the second time (and all other tries) pop ups the info at N2 screen that AA is connected to the car and navigation is running. At first I thought it was Google Maps error as it was the application auto- started after connection so I tried to use AA-Tweaker to keep the home screen of AA after connection and not starting any navigation app. Unfortunately, AA-Tweaker (version 4.0.2) was crashing every time.
Never mined I checked that not only Google Maps (or Waze as a default navigation) didn't produced any screen but the same applied to the audio app (Google Podcast) as I had physical buttons on the infotainment joystick (Renault).
Therefore, I'm sure it's an issue of AA itself.
