I just got to thinking about this. I mean besides the cool factor is there any other real reason to output your phones screen to your tv? If you have the adapter and whole hdmi out setup what do you use it for? I guess it would be neat for me for about 10min on my 51" but I can't see any real use.
I've paired mine with ps3 controller and use it to emulate ps1,genisis,snes,nes..and then hook up to TV..now o got a sweet time killer...
You can watch movies, display pictures, give presentations, play games...

Ok I stand corrected, that does sound cool. I would do that. I've got a 360 not a ps3 though. I'll have to do some googleing see if that's possible.

I thought about the whole movie thing. But with all the streaming media devices people probably already have I still don't get it. Maybe I'm assuming to much but any 360 or ps3 can stream just about anything you'd want imo. Pictures I'll never understand, I don't need to see a picture on an lcd. Presentations I can see that for the business guys who need it. Playing games, aren't you still tethered to a cord?
Use a wireless game controller.

I have not done it with this phone since I have yet to buy the cable, but with my Vibrant's TV out all the time, its easier to put the movies on the Phone instead of the game console since im connected to it more often and using the Laptop means if my wife wants to use the laptop she cant without interrupting the movie. (She could ealk the 8 FT to the desktop.. but thats niether here nor there ) As far as games, even though your tethered atleast with the vibrant, it wasnt that bad.. kinda makes the device the console and controller in one and with all of these newer games coming out its pretty nice on my 46". just my 10 cents
Here is the best reason. the NBA league pass for mobile is only $40. I plug my phone to my TV and bam! No need to pay the $160.
There is enough hate in the world. Why can't we all get along here ...?

You can use it for a presentation of pictures amongst friends/family.
I've used it to watch episodes of missed drama my family likes but you need to find good quality because anything over 40'' will look blurry.
Great for streaming out of market sports from the internet...just more convienent to connect your phone to the tv instead of a computer..

I would like to know this as well. I've read elsewhere that they block it from HDMI out, but would like to know if anyone has any experience with this and also if there is some way around it with a rooted device. (ie freezing some background app like you can do with the one they use to block free tethering).
Who's getting one?
I think it looks awesome, but a little expensive so I had some doubts if I should by it or not.
But now my carrier is providing me one for free because of delayed delivery on my HOX.
Any of you guys getting one?
Will we be able to use it with other phones/tablets?
I really want to use it with my gtab 10.1, so it would be awesome if someone could figure out, maybe porting the app (if its and app) from HOX to other devises.

Yes Im getting one but only because it came free with my One X order. In answer to your questions yes it can be used with other devices.
Ive got the standard media link adapter as well and that works perfectly on my Moto Xoom. If your concerned about the price there are cheaper alternatives that do the exact same thing. Just have a browse on Amazon for DLNA receivers.

The Media Link for the One series is different than the previous HTC Media Links (basically DLNA media players), in that it can mirror what you see on the phone's screen. So it's more like a "smart" wireless HDMI connection, since once you start media playback, it switches to media streaming mode like the old Links, and the phone can be used to do other things without interrupting the video on the TV.
I like the idea of playing a game through this, but there is noticable latency, so no Shadowgun, but Angry Birds would probably work well.

I have been using my one x to stream to the ps3. there are various dlna server apps in the market, I personally use BubbleUPnP on my one x. regarding the battery life, well if the screen is off I generally find the battery doesn't go down too quick, even while streaming or on a long call. the display is what seems too suck battery ie: games or browsing the web. anyway id save your money unless you really want to use all your apps on a large display/tv. or buy a mhl to hdmi cable online for a tenner does the same job as the medialink, though wired.

ive just ordered one and the speaker dock as well.
does anyone know if this is actually dnla so other devices would work (such as my pc and my archos 101 tablet), also is there a built in battery in the media link as the specs say there is a "charge cable" - if there is whats the battery life like on that. i hope there is as this would be ideal on my already crowded outlets by my main tv with xbox, wii, bluray, tv, tivo reciver, surround system, cable modem and finally the router.
thanks guys
my understanding was the media link only worked with Sense 4, so not sure its compatible with all devices. It is compatible with all TVs/monitors that have a HDMI port. THe Media Link comes with a built in rechargeable battery which is charged the same way as your phone with a micro usb cable.

Not necessarily. It'd be nice to be able to take this to someone's house, connect it to their tv, and stream a movie or something. Sometimes finding an available outlet in those situations is annoying.

I couldnt agree more. People are reluctant to have you messing with the plugs on their television and peripherals. If you could simply plug into hdmi and watch a movie or two on battery it would be truly portable and much less intrusive if you were to take it to a friends or relatives house.

By the looks of it it seems the Media Link HD itself needs plugging into a power supply. All the videos I've seen of it on YouTube in operation show two cables coming out of it (the HDMI cable and presumably the power cable?). Plus when you look on the Mobile Fun site, it shows two ports on it...a HDMI port and a Micro USB port:

Yeah, I have my note 2 setup like his and people are blown away on how I did it. I am using most of his wallpapers so the phone's background never is the same. He is pretty artistic in the way he has everything setup.
That's awesome! Maybe I'm missing something, but from what I see, everything he's using is native, there's no special software except that floating browser software. Then obviously the hardware (adapter, mouse, keyboard).
Does anybody know what UI he's got?

No, both apple lol. I am guessing he might be using blue tooth for one and usb for the other.
Both bluetooth. I used to use em with my iPad (which I sold to buy a non contract note 2). The apple magic mouse, however, only can use its nice touch features while connected to a mac so its really just a simple, thin mouse. The logitech version of the keyboard has a nice case that it comes with, might be a good alternative.

It might be confusing in the beginning but as you watch the video, pause it and do each step as he tells you. The end result will be so worth it.
Great video, as soon as that dock releases, I plan to do something like this.
Nice video. It would be great to see how well Ubuntu (or some other favorite linux distribution) does. This would give you many other office and math applications to use. Anyone try linux on android yet? Downside would be that it has no audio. But performance should be very good.
Amazing stuff. While I'd have to wait for a dock myself, the USB-to-go cable looks like a wonderful alternative. Now, if I can find a reasonably priced portable monitor, I could truly go mobile - no need to worry about lugging around a laptop.
I wonder where he got the tripod or phone holder for the Note 2. . .

After seeing this I decided to give it a go. Sadly I don't have a mouse or the MHL connector yet, but it seems to work, at least for productivity. Got ubuntu 12 running with minimal effort, working on debian right now to see which I prefer. It seems pretty hard to use without a mouse, and I am lazy so instead of searching my house for a spare mouse, because I am unwilling to unplug the mouse from my desktop, I instead ordered a cheap bluetooth mouse. When I have everything I will probably make a video for myself.
Anybody have one or planning on getting one? I'm kinda bummed I'll have to get another one (already have MHL) dumb competing standards. The few available on Amazon seem overpriced (in the $30 range) for a chunk of plastic and some wire.
Buy the one from analogix. That is the official one and it does cost $30. It is pricy when compared to regular MHL adaptors, but its worth it if you plan on using it.

What the cable gets you that the chromecast doesn't is direct streaming of content. chromecast does not currently support file playback through gallery. All direct streaming from the device (not from the internet) is "beta"

I didn't even notice the port was not MHL. What nincompoop opted to go with this rather than MHL? Maybe I don't know something I should here, but hasn't MHL been around for a couple years now? And is there anything allegedly superior about slimport that would make it desirable over MHL?
This is just a little disappointing to me because both of my Samsung phones use MHL and at this point my backpack is already the subject of Guantanamo style field stripping every time I fly international.

MyDP (SlimPort) adapters are appearing on eBay for less than $20USD which I think is pretty good value. SlimPort has some clear advantages over MHL (scaling/no need to have charger plugged in etc).

Just be careful with the non analogical brand slimport adaptors. People from the N4 were having problems with certain ones. You can check in the N4 accessories thread as there is more information about them there.

Hello all,
I use my phone (S3) to run Pandora through my boats stereo system, I have a rather large and loud system on the boat, so I usually end up playing DJ and taking drunkin' requests at our local sandbar, so Id like to make playlists on the fly EASILY, the Ipod is not so easy with the docking method it has! Its a great time non the less....
Anyways, I usually use Pandora through the 3.5mm headphone jack as I have that option installed in my boat. I also have an Ipod on the boat, the best sounding between the 2 is the Ipod.
Question, is there any music player app for these phones that compare to the way the Ipod will sound? Is it even possible to match that? I actually think the Pandora through the 3.5mm jack sounds pretty good but I believe the Ipod is better.
I have Winamp installed, and it sounds good but if I play the same "file" song, it will sound better via Ipod.
I have a Fusion ip600 marine deck that I use, it has the Ipod dock (Inside the unit, accessible through a door) as well as the Aux which I have the 3.5mm jack hooked up to. That's all the options I have for that deck, I may in the future get the 700 series which offers a USB hookup, but for now I want to keep the 600 series I have now.
Hopefully I am explaining this good enough!
Also whats the highest class 64gig micro SD card I can put in it? Can I do the Class 10? We bought the phones in June of this year.
Thanks all.

Poweramp is widely considered to be the best audio player for Android. It has an EQ. But to be honest, the playlist creation is a bit clunky.
There is a free trial. What do you have to lose?
64gb class 10 would be fine, im using one myself.. With the sound mods that we have, the s3 is gonna sound way better than any iPod, believe me, try using viper 4 android like Perseus suggested. Also as far as music player, I like Google's play music and it has an easy way to add songs to playlists, you just search for a song and you can add it to a playlist in an instance.. Poweramp is also good but doesn't stream from play music's all-access so I use play music

Ah the Bluetooth thing I did not think about, my marine deck has a module I can buy to add Bluetooth, thanks for that suggestion.

Yes 64GB is max I believe. Also do you have Stock Rom or Custom ?
Music Player wise, I am not much of a music person but a audio book person. But please try Viper 4 Android Best Music mod and player.
If you want Ipod like interface, try Aurora

I looked up specs and your right, 64 is the max, As mentioned below in the other quote the class 10 would work, so I will buy one of those. I have a stock rom, I would have no clue how to do any mods to that! I will DL those 2 and give them a shot, thanks for your help!

Poweramp is widely considered to be the best audio player for Android. It has an EQ. But to be honest, the playlist creation is a bit clunky.

Awesome, thanks for confirming the Class 10 part, I will get one of those. Im happy to hear that this phone would be better than the Ipod, because the system sounds great with the Ipod, and if this phone is better than thats awesome, just didnt want to degrade the sound in anyway after the amount of money I spent on the system. Thanks very much for your help. I will try your suggestions as well.
So, my conclusion is, I will buy and use the Bluetooth part of my deck and try the apps suggested and just pick the best that works for us. Thanks again guys for taking the time out to help. Much appreciated guys..

I installed it and it says the phone needs to be rooted? I have 0 clue what to do with that one!
And Aurora, is there anything else to that name? Cause it doesnt say anything about a music player? Just space things!
@1MoreMinute
Here's Aurora Link.
I wasn't aware Viper needed Root. Apologies. If you don't want to root then you can pass on Viper. I am sure there are other Mods like Mega Bass Beats or Dolby For Android.

No worries, I would love to root it if I knew I wouldn't completely screw the phone up and if it will make the music sound better than whats stock in the phone! Seems like an awesome app, I was able to look around in the app just wouldn't take to the changes I made. I will look into those other ones.
I went out and bought the bluetooth module and will install it this Friday, than Sat were taking the boat out and ill try some of the music player apps I downloaded and see which one sounds best.
Question, to the one member that said the phone would sound better than an Ipod, is that with the phone rooted and that Viper app? Or can I make it sound better with my phone not being rooted?
Thanks again all and have a Happy Thanksgiving tomorrow.

Yeah it would be with the phone rooted, but you might want to give poweramp a try, it has the best equalizer I've tried without any mods and you don't need to be rooted to use it.. I also think it has a very easy way to add music to playlists, very much the same way play music does.. Happy Thanksgiving!

Thank you!
I actually looked for the Poweramp last night and totally forgot that I bought that app back in the day, so I have the unlocked version of it. So thats a bonus.
Let me ask, is rooting easy to you, or I should ask, if you never knew how to do it, and you are kind of tech friendly will it be easy for someone to do? Id like to learn it if its got some good things to it. Ive re formatted computers, drives etc, so Id like to think I know a little!

I think you'll be ok rooting that's kind of where I came from.. S3 is probably one of the easiest devices to root.. If you want to try it, read up on the rooting threads that we have.. Read and reread everything because its easy to miss steps and bad things can happen when you do that.. what firmware are you currently on?

4.1.2 - I hope I got that question at least correct!!
Well, I did read some of the threads,
1- Not even sure if I was reading the correct ones, so many things that I don't understand.
2 - Now I'm really not sure if I should even try it!
3 - Saw a video "How to Root the Samsung Galaxy S III" by XDAdevelopers , boy does he make it sound like a piece of cake and to you guys I am sure it is! I even went into the video description and saw the DL links, I did the easy one which was the Odin one! Easy there! Than I went to the files that I needed and got stuck! Not sure if I should try this.
4 - Anyone in the Tampa Bay FL area willing to help?? Beers or whatever on me! lol.....
Anyways, thanks again everyone for the help, I will install the Bluetooth module in our boat this Friday and putz with the apps on my stock phone for now.
Happy Holidays everyone, stay safe and enjoy!
Haha well now that you got your custom recovery, you have to flash super user to gain root.. If you still want to root go to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538053 and go down to where it says "CWM / TWRP / MobileODIN installable ZIP" go to that link and download the zip from there.. After that go into recovery and flash that zip, reboot and you will be rooted

Thanks, I did DL that link you mentioned in that thread.
Now, I have a bunch of apps that I DL from the market place, IE Handcent SMS, Tide apps, Quick Pic etc, will all my programs and everything else work when I root the phone? I know, probably some real newbie questions but I have to start somewhere!
Yes I do still want to root this phone to get the best possible sound quality I can. I spent too much money on this system on our boat to listen to something that produces crappy or not so great quality of sound. Not saying this phone is like that, because I don't think it sounds "THAT" bad at all through my car stereo using the 3.5mm jack. But if I can get better, I would really like that.
Just need to get the cahooooonies to start this! :good:
I did read that if you screw it up it will get bricked, either soft or hard bricked. And I did also see a video that reverses that, so I guess if I screw it up I can reverse it without voiding the warrenty. But I have to admit, I DON'T want to brick it because to undue that looks extremely HARD! haha

I still havent done it!
We went out on the boat today and listened to my S3 via Bluetooth with my Fusion Deck. I cannot complain using the Poweramp and stock player. Sounded damn good actually.
My next question is, I am currently looking for a SD card for my S3, I want a 64 gig, but I am noticing that the 64s are called SDXC, will one of those work? I found out that mean extreme capacity (SDXC) instead of high capacity (SDHC)
Thanks!
