Sorry its probarly my very bad english.
The media link HD require a HDMI connection to work, and i meant if i could use a AVR like Pioneer LX85 HDMI instead of the TVs HDMI connection?.
Hope it was more understandeble.
Again sorry for my english
Probably you could.
But the question is for me; is it capable of bitstream hd audio?
Any thoughts?

Your English was fine, I understood the 1st post with one read.
Can't see any reason why it wouldn't work when plugged into a receiver. Hope so anyway, that's what I'm going to be doing, I will be using a dock with HDMI instead of the Medialink though.

You mean can the phone bitsteam HD Audio?
Probably not, not sure why you'd want it to either, HD audio from a movie is going to be 1.5 - 2 GB alone, unless you use loads of compression for the picture it isn't going to fit on your SD card.

Hi there,
im very new to this forum so i apoligise if i sound about naive with my question.
What it is was very set on buying a Desire for my upgrade on orange but was very put off by the fact there is no tv output capability. This is something i really want and i was wondering is there any roms or tricks i could apply to a htc desire to allow it to connect to a tv. As i really want a phone that will allow me to play movies that iv downloaded on my tv set.
if not then im going to have to get the samsung galaxy s.
any help with this problem would be great :-D
your post is a little confusing, you said you want a phone you can connect to the tv to play movies downloaded on your tv? you mean movies you have downloaded you would like to play on your phone and output to TV?
This is not possible on the desire there is no tv out.
lol sorry thats what i meant.
yes i would like to connect phone to tv so i can broswe internet and play movies on a bigger screen.
so does that mean i will defonatly need to get the samsung galaxy s :-(
shame i really liked the sense ui interface!

most lcds and plasmas come with a usb . so can easily view videos and photos .
like myself on bravia 40ex500
As seen here: http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/04/nexus-one-gets-usb-host-driver-from-a-dude-with-an-oscilloscope/, someone uses his N1 as an USB-host.
With the DisplayLink USB-to-DVI adapter it is possible to connect your phone to the monitor, although I don't think it will support a high bandwidth (for movies).
if you pick away at the plastic on the right side of the phone there is a hdmi port under there
Yes my TV has USB too and it can be viewed if you attach as usb storage but that is not what the original question is asking. They are asking for TV output as i am sure your TV cannot play xvid or other codec files on the fly via mounted usb.
are you joking right??

Don't know about your tv, but my samsung 40b630 could decode xvid and mkv on the fly from a usb storage device.
Not many tvs have usb input, but loads of devices that are plugged into your tv do.
For example, my ps3, xbox, and freeview box all have usb input and are capable of playing divx from usb mass storage.

It was supposed to be sarcastic lol!
Still would be a cool but pointless feature if it existed!
HTC's Windows phones, at least most of them, have the ability to output video using the 3.5mm -> TV-Out adapter. The Incredible uses the same CPU as the Desire and can output using the USB port. My guess would be that the Desire maybe has the hardware support, but most likely not software (missing option in settings for one). Obviously, this is a big maybe.
I wouldn't incline towards the "Because it's not on the website it doesn't have it". Looking at the specifics of the Snapdragon chip would definitely help, as if the feature exists it should be there, and I doubt that the hardware would specifically be removed from the chip because HTC 'requested' it. It would be too expensive I imagine (or maybe I'm wrong). Could be that it might not be wired into USB/3.5mm on the phone's board, who knows... (For example they never noted that we have 802.11n, but seems like we do. Among other devices that could be used as other examples.)
End point; someone with the relevant knowledge and skills would need to have a good poke around the device...
@mercianary In that photo, it showsta that device dont have HTC Sense. So its some else phone like Droid X

hi, my tv does not have dlna support (who has one anyway) and i don't want an adapter for dlna, is there a wired solution into bringing hd video to my hdtv?

NO its unfortunate but there appears NOT to be an HDMI cable coming for our phone. The only wired method for video is Composite and maybe S-Video, but that will NOT be HD.
Your best best is DLNA. I would highly suggest getting a device that can run either XBMC or Boxee as both support an always evolving list of codecs, removing any worry of playback though DLNA.
What are you dislikes abut adding a DLNA capable streamer to your TV?
so... i have a brand new 50" 8000 series Samsung plasma that DOES support DLNA. does that mean i can stream video off my phone?!
EDIT: omg! this is awesome. streaming wireless...perfectly! using allshare.

Is this confirmed working with the vibrant? It says needs software update to work, last time I read that was for the dock and it required 2.2.
This again? That cable is old news. It was confirmed to NOT work. Samsung also said themselves that it won't work. Unfortunately, not all areas of the internet have been cleaned up appropriately. The site linked to in post #4 even says it won't work until Samsung makes it work.

A quick Google and YouTube search showed me that there are more people who use such a device and that you can indeed use it to connect your phone (HTC WildFire S) to a TV. So it should work. But before you buy it, make sure to check if your TV has an HDMI jack and make sure you have an HDMI to HDMI cable, else you should buy one.

There is IPOD RCA TV-OUTcables which is work with some android phones too but still not sure it will work or not.

I checked out the ends from the pics and they are indeed micro usb. So theoretically it will work. But in practice... You'll probably have to be the guinea pig to try it. But if you succeed, it may just make you a legend 'round here.
In my opinion you might need to code a it in a rom so that it recognises and gives you something "out" on the TV

I'm sure they are talking about there own MHL cables. Which they product for few htc devies. ( like this one http://www.htcaccessorystore.com/uk/p_htc_item.aspx?i=209996 )
They didnt make cable for wildfire s its why they are telling only for few device.
What about RCA cable, did you ask them? ( actually they are not making RCA cable so answer will be no again (RCA cable is for IPOD anyway ,but working with android devices))

I don't think it'll work. I asked them about the MHL functionality of the MicroUSB port of the HTC Wildfire S and the guy said that it can't be done. Sure, you can try, but I don't think it's possible... It would most likely be a waste of money. But then again, if you feel like you have too much money, go for it.
EDIT: If you do go for it, I cannot take responsibility when it doesn't work or when it damages your phone, bank account balance or whatever. It will be YOUR responsibility..

I really have no idea what you're trying to say, but ehhm, the guy I spoke to at the HTC Helpdesk told me it is possible to link your phone to your TV with DLNA, if you have the proper equipment for it (he said you could then share your phone's screen via WiFi).
I know DLNA thing. my tv have dlna. but i want to play game or use apps /web browser on my tv (+bluetooth keyboard etc)( LIVE STREAM). I searched on google and saw wildfire s using 5 pins micro usb and this cable is 5 pins to 19 pins . I think im going to order a cheap cable from ebay.
But still maybe i will need tv out app (few android devices have settings for tv out) so rom makers please go for it
BTW i loled .

That depends. I have a few and they do vary in how much power they suck out of the usb port. I have a Hauppauge Hybrid 900 (950 in the US) that gets very hot and drinks power like an alchie. I also have an Asus mini 3000 I got for my eeePC 700 that sips very genteelly. Both have native Linux support but since I bought the above dongle, I won't be trying those.
The other problem is that you would need some android TV software that could interact with those sticks. The programs on Google Play seem to be very hardware specific.
hey,
i have a very simple question,
I have a note 3 and use the screen mirroring option to send youtube to my media server so i can see it on the big screen as we dont have a smart TV.
but i want to be able to do that anywhere without a media server, their is all these smart usb sticks that turn TV's into smart ones but i dno where to start, i just wanna be able to send my media to the TV, i have a hdmi for my note 3 but it requires a power source and the cable isn't long enough and i really didn't research it properly before buying...
im sure their is a usb or something that will allow me to do this that doesn't cost a lot,
Because I'm interested in the subject too, what software are you using as media server?

Never had a wifi issue. I'm using it in a setup with our 12 year old 40" Sony CRT tube tv lol!!! which I converted to "smart tv". That tv doesn't even has hdmi port, so I have A/V cable going into that converter box with HDMI output and connect smart stick to it. Controlling it with a small bt keyboard and streaming videos from usb stick connected to my Asus wi-fi router. Mostly used by my kids, and obviously streaming movies over wi-fi, and never an issue. This is an old stick version, they have new ones with a better spec. I think most of the issues were with some of the earlier versions, even prior to mine, where stick used to get overheated and causing various issues included wi-fi.
