OK so my wife has the HD mini, I thought HTC sense included friend stream? I cant seem to find it on the phone - where am going wrong? I see the twitter tab but obviously thats not going to support facebook.
Help! Thanks
Friend Stream is only for Android,isn't it?
Friend stream is currently active only in the android and frankly it's not that great an app seeing the visual aspects. If you have loads of friends on facebook and twitter, it gets a little irritating. Better to use twitter tab, and facebook app.
Gutted HTC advertise it with FriendStream? http://www.htc.com/www/product/hdmini/specification.html

That looks very smooth, I want to use it along with PS3 controller to play ShodowGun.
From the video, it looks like the Media Link can only handle mirroring but not streaming. Consider this cost almost the same as the Apple TV which does have both mirroring and streaming capability, I don't think I'll buy it at the current retail price.
P.S. Mirroring means both screen shows the same content. Streaming means you can play video from your device to the TV while do something else on your phone like web browsing.

Cool, I'll check it out YouTube, do you know if it can work with other Android devices like the Galaxy Tab?

I don't think so, unless a developer from XDA implements it because it uses HTCs Sense 4.0 software
im hoping that someone comes out with emulators that stream to tv , so the phone just shows controls

I agree, I remember seeing a video where the guy was streaming movie
Of his one X while browsing through the sense menu.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
@Bigmille
Yeah you can use streaming. You can also launch a film on the One and send it to the TV and continue to use your phone to call someone, send sms, go to network... EVERYTHING
I will add a new video tomorrow or after tomorrow about Media Link with video player
Some HTC Staff person have played to ShadowGun and they said me it's amazing! It's looks like a PS3!!!
+
I have asked to know if I can use it with my DHD and they are not sure because of compatibility with Sense ;(
Was thinking about getting one of these but this video confirms what i thought the experience would be like, i think for the most part it's going to be useless, the guy in the video spent 90% of it looking at the screen on the phone to see where he is poking the touch screen
streaming works, i seen it work at a demo. Here
@shan The guy, it's me
It's true for games it's not a miracle but when you are lot of people to see a movie or other things (documents, pictures...) it could be so greatful
PS: I have added a new video :

thst's why you need a controller via bluetooth
Hey, ive got one question. This HTC Media thing, ist it connected via Ad Hoc Wifi or is it (or MUST it) be built in into your home wifi?
Why this question?
Because my Wifi Signal is very weak at home and therefore the Signals are weak as well. But with an Ad Hoc Connection only between the HTC Phone and the HTC Media thing (that connects to the TV..) you can get a good connection. BUT when your connect to the ad hoc WiFi (to your HTC Media Thing) are you able to surf via Wlan? Or do you have to use 3G?

Thank you for posting that video
Just to inform everyone so you don't make the same mistake that I did. The HTC Media LINK and the HTC Media Link HD are very different. The mirroring will NOT work on the HTC Media Link....is works ONLY on the HTC Media Link HD.
It's very ambiguous in all posting and documentation but again I am speaking from experience. The standard HTC Media Link will not mirror the One X. it can only act as a DNLA device.

Thats for the information. Here in germany the HTC Media Link HD is not awaylable so i thought bo buy the HTC Media Link. you saved me some good money!
Does someone know how lagg would be when playing HQ games like gta3 oder shadowgun? i really would like to take my HOX as a gamingstation with ps3-controller connected.
Any news on what makes the Media Link mirror the One X display and whether it can be reversed engineered onto other devices? I have plenty of DLNA compatible boxes and it would be great if I could flash something to my One X and it would think they are all Media Links - or modify the DLNA device to look like a Media Link.
Thoughts?
Im having trouble with my media link HD. I have a Samsung 'HD Ready' TV but it doesn't seem to support the 720p output of the media link and gives me that bloody annoying 'mode not supported' message. In the Media Link manual it says that the output resolution can be changed to 460p for older tv's with HDMI via the online configuration tool by means of a drop down menu. there isn't a drop down menu, also in the manual it says that you can download a media link HD app from the HTC hub, but it isn't on there.
I contacted HTC but they didn't have a clue.
The media link works fine on other TV's but I could do with getting it working on the Samsung in the living room.
If anyone has figured out how to change the output resolution please let me know.
HTC One X
JDROiD Exo-sense and Eternity Project CM10 Roms.
Hi all I recently noticed that my HTC Medialink HD (after being configured with my one x) shows up in windows 8 devices and printers.
However when I click play to on the windows 8 video player it does not detect any devices to send to.
Does anyone know a way I could get this to work??

Thanks very much, you were right. Strange how it doesn't work from the video player and only from media player. Ah well at least it works. Thanks.

Hi,
is there any chance to make the MediaLink HD working with other android devices different to HTC.
On my Vista-PC I can see the WiFi-Network of the MediaLink but I can't log in (don't know the Password). The default should be 1234567890 or 1234567890HTC but both are not working.
Thanks

The password you can find using an HTC phone. On my One X it was under the Media Link settings. I don't know how to get it from a non-HTC phone, but maybe try to invite someone with an HTC phone over to your place once, it might solve the problem lol.
Thanks
