You can't use it in the same way. It's a DLNA device so you can use it via a media player to playback specific files but you won't be able to do screen mirroring to project the phone itself on to another display. Even if there were a specific APK it wouldn't work without HTC's framework installed. And AllShare's for receving content, not projecting it. AllShare Cast can project media and Samsung has a hub you can buy to use it but it sounds like it plays files and doesn't mirror the phone.

Thanks guys I guess I will stick with my HOX and enjoy the ride.

You can use the HTC Media Link HD with any Android device using the Wi-Fi Media App in the Playstore, link is here:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bianor.amscavium&hl=en
It won´t let you mirror things but it does let you playback content, you don´t need the HTC Framework (don´t listen to Barry)
Enjoy.

Hello, I bought the HTC Media Link HD and tried to use it with my Galaxy Nexus phone (Android 4.1.1) , but it do not recognize the HTC Media Link HD.
I have tested also with Galaxy S & S II (Android 4.0.3) , Galaxy Tab (Android 3). I tried apps from Google Play like: Skifta, Homedia, Wi-Fi Media, iMedia, Media Link.
No one succeeded to connect to HTC Media Link HD.:crying:
When I found somebody with HTC One S phone, it recognized the HTC Media Link HD just like expected with 3 fingers up slide and worked just fine.
How it is supposed to be setup to be recognizable by other Android devices?
Thanks in advance.

Yes,
The connection need to be not direct like in case of HTC phones, but via the router (wi-fi).
1. Connect to the Media Link device with browser using the its own Wi-Fi and IP written on the TV display.
2. Go to settings and setup you home Wi-Fi access like int other computers, phones,tablets. Device will change its own IP address to one used in home network.
3. Connect Android Phone to home Wi-Fi network and use Skifta. Now it is recognized.
Best regards.

Do not forget the password. I saw in documentation with mine it is by default 1234567890 but that never worked for me. I had to search quite a bit to find you have to add HTC at the end, in caps to make the password work. If you get asked for a password on an HTC One, like the m7 the password line that comes up will have a number dialer entry pad and will not accept alpha characters. You do not have to have a password with an eligible HTC phone, just has to be configured with the media link to work. To connect with a laptop though......... 1234567890HTC will do it. At least with mine.

Does Media Link Work on JB?

Hi,
I was thinking to buy an HTC Media Link to make things easier to view my One-X on my HD TV. Can anyone confirm if it is currently working with the recent test builds of JB? also how does it connect to the One-X is it a direct wifi connection P2P or does both devices have to connect to my home router to enable them to send/receive content? The reason that i'm asking is to know if the HTC Media link will work in places that i have no Router connection available, such as in some hotel rooms or other places?
Thanx for all your advices....

It is connected through the home Wifi through the router so I think it will not work in a hotel?
I got one free fro htc back in June but rarely use it cos the lag is too much. Not sure about the current firmware though nv tried since June.

Whilst I'm not at liberty to discuss in detail the latest JB trial software for the One X - I will say that the Media Link HD has been reported as being very buggy whilst attempting to use it...'nuff said!

My One X is on ARHD JB leak, since putting this one it's no longer able to stream to the Media Link. I'm guessing as this is a leaked rom base HTC haven't yet released an updated firmware for the Media Link.
Having said that, I was less than impressed with the performance of my Media Link anyway. Hopefully the combination of new firmware and JB will improve things!

I guess you just have to wait for the proper JB release to enjoy some propper support from HTC as well

Well a long time ago I purchased just the MHL adaptor so that I could play content from my phone to hdtv. You have to also power the adaptor and of course your phone is then tried to the tv via the HDMI lead. But I also found that the phone battery votes flat while playing any content so the adaptor and power supply are not providing enough power to the phone. I was using the original 1A wall charger that came with my One-X.
But it does work well to allow me to use Skype on my hdtv and using my car screen mount to hold and position my phone for the back hi res camera.

I have a Media Link HD and it works flawlessly, no lag at all. 3 finger swipe up and it starts, 3 finger swipe down and it stops.
Specifically, the Media Link HD will work in both ways you mention. If there is no WiFi router available to connect through your One X will create an Ad-Hoc connection and stream to it that way. I've found that the JB leaks do not yet support the Media Link HD as upon connection, it notifies that there is a firmware update. Then when it tries to download this update it fails.

Thanx and so how does the media link connect to the router? Is it automatic or do you have to first configure it from a pc or directly from the One-X?
For my example if I'm in a hotel which has WiFi but via a web page interface to log in how would that work or in this case would the direct link between One-X and media link be the way to go?

It seems to set up an automatic ad hoc connection first, then the phone sends the infrastructure connection details to the media link through the ad hoc network. Both devices then drop the ad hoc network and connect to the infrastructure. So it is transparent. However I doubt it would work with a router webpage login.
If you are in a hotel with a webpage login then the media link would likely not gain internet access. However, it doesn't need that, so long as it can talk to the phone through the network. Saying that, if I were to configure a hotel access point, I would certainly set it up to block wireless inter-client communication at the router (to stop users hacking each others' computers). So in short it could work but most likely will be blocked.
Note that if the phone can't connect through infrastructure, it will automatically connect through an ad hoc connection. During this time the phone pretends to be connected to the infrastructure, so you may not even notice except that Internet access is lost.

Tablet Talk cuts off internet to other apps?

Hi,
I'm using Tablet Talk on Nexus 4 phone and Nexus 7 tablet installed in my car dash. The application works totally fine except for one strange issue: it appears to cut off internet to other apps installed on Nexus 7. Internet connection is shared by the phone via Bluetooth.
When Tablet Talk is connected, Youtube shows connection error, Waze navigation cannot reach its servers most of the time (though not always), Chrome browser either works extremely slowly (loading google search results for about 3 minutes) or don't work at all.
Everything works fine as soon as I disconnect Tablet Talk.
I was unable to google similar issue reported by other Tablet Talk users, so maybe I'm doing anything wrong?
Any ideas are most welcome.

If you are using Bluetooth to connect to tablet talk, and to share internet.... Then there is your problem, I think u can only have one device connected with Bluetooth at a time.
Try setting phone as mobile hotspot, and connect the nexus 7 via WiFi. Then use tablet talk in WiFi mode. And forget about Bluetooth and its narrow bandwidth.

I would agree if there is no internet at all - either Tablet Talk or internet. However, there are two things that make me believe that there's another reason: first, there is internet connection, yet somewhat flaky, in Waze navigation app, and some others, while Tablet Talk is connected. Next, Tablet Talk uses the same bluetooth connection - no extra [virtual] device or BT profile appears in the bluetooth connection list, as far as I remember.
I've asked the Tablet Talk developer about this; still awaiting their response.

Yup its still one connection but 2 data feeds, therefore 2 connections through Bluetooth. it makes sense to me this issue. That's why I never ran tablet talk this way. I know Bluetooth don't have much bandwidth.
I would be curious of the answer too. I use tablet talk just not in this configuration.

Sure, but yet it's always been sufficient for any youtube video and other tasks. I don't believe that Tablet Talk in standby mode consumes all the bandwidth... but who knows, maybe you're right. I'll try to find a tool that'll allow to monitor BT bandwidth/load, if it's technically possible. Thanks for the clue!

[Q] Best Apps for transferring files over WiFi?

Hi everyone,
An iOS App called "DeskConnect" caught my attention because it is pretty neat at what it does. It allows you to send files from your PC/Mac to your, in this case, iDevice (or vice versa) over WiFi in a breeze. You just have to download the App on the computer and iDevice register with the same account on both devices.
My question is, is their an application similar to DeskConnect for Android? I'd like to download an App on my Mac and HTC One and be able to send stuff from my computer by just dragging what I want to send into the application and then receiving the document in the application on my phone.
I know I can probably connect my phone via USB and then transfer files like but I want to know if there is an easy way to do this over WiFi.

AirDroid is pretty cool for doing that.
For me sometimes a bit buggy though. (especially when transferring mp3)
Still in my opinion the best choice!
Everything runs over your browser.
Ps: the registration is only needed if you want to transfer files through the Internet rather than using your network.

PushBullet is what I use. But the limit for uploading a file is 25MB. I know some apps are bigger than that but it's worked well for me so far, light on the PC and phone, just runs on the browser as well.

I've been using WiFi File Transfer Pro for a good while now, it's very good..... https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.smarterdroid.wififiletransfer&hl=en

I would say Air Droid is best because you can also control your camera and have notifications displayed on the PC

Android has a lot better solution than that. You can install "Software data Cable" . Chose Sync and it create an FTP server. You just need to have a FTP client on your PC/Mac/Linux.
What's more, when the phone is not in wifi network, it can create an wireless Hotspot.

Solid Explorer has a nifty FTP share feature... I used it because for what ever reason I couldn't mount my One via USB. Airdroid works well too.

Whoa! Didn't expect to get a lot of replies, thanks you guys!

Why install extra app
ES Explorer do all jobs
Activate WiFi Hotspot or connect phone to PC WiFi
open ES explorer >> tools >> remote manager >> click on Turn on Note ftp address >> Windows explorer >> address bar >> fill Ftp address from phone to bar & now you can access all files
Phone to phone file transfer same way & 1 more short way

So if this is the solution what's the need of WiFi direct in Wi-Fi menu? I hope LG is not using apples marketing tricks to promote it's own solution instead of using the most common and compatible.

as was the case for android beam.
my LG G3 can send files to my SAMSUNG S3.
but the LG G3 can't receive files from SAMSUNG S3.
LG needs to fix this and not go for the exclusivity route!!!
it should be NOKIA connecting people. nostalgia, hand meets hand boot animation.

O) Commenting on pictures,
O) To be able to capture a picture in the same app and send it to another device
O) I also wanted to open Office files like Excel, Word, etc. on the Android phone.
I hope someone will reply soon because I'm in a problem here.
