[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nathanation:
I used your method and it worked great, I didn't flash whatever this is;

http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=493093&d=1295359342??

I just wiped everything and flashed the ICS Beta. It works great for a beta, really impressed. Confused why it can't find my wireless network though, loads come up in the network list, just not mine, all my other devices connect fine...

And the legend connected to my parents network ok, just dosnt see my network at home....

Also my girlfriends happy she can finally use her phone!

Relevant rooting question:

OK. So I'd finally like to root my HTC Legend in order to install Cyanogenmod. But I'm still a bit afraid to do so.. Warranty issues etc.

But if I want to install Cyanogenmod the easy way, this is what I have to do right?

1) Use the official Unlocker to unlock the bootloader

2) Use HTC Supertool V3 to root the phone

3) Install Cyanogenmod

This is correct right? Is there anything that could go wrong? (Well, of course there is, but I mean: Is this relatively safe and fool-proof to do?)

I'm all very new into Android and especially rooting, so...

Thx.
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nathanation:
Just use HTC dev to unlock, then do the steps listed above, install clockworkmod and super user, then you can flash any Rom you want by booting into recovery mode.

Im quit perplexed about this so if someone with experience can explain

i posted this a lot before but i want to know, there is some grain visible in bright angles, and actually i have two of those white spots visible at angles, one of them is pixel size the other as you can see in the pic is quit few pixels size

but it doesn't show on black, very minimal on blue, shows on every other bright color

whats is itexactly, a dead pixel would be black and appear on white, a stuck pixel would be white and appear on black, dust would appear under sun light or flash light when the phone is turned off

but its not any of those, is this imperfection to the screen glue or dust in the glue or back light bleed?

The grain i assume is just glue imperfection but this white dot is driving me crazy it's mid screen and ruins the nice view angles of the One X, the screen is fit well actually

I tried pixel fixers but no luck, right now i'm trying to leave JScreenFix running for two hours
[HTC One X] otarinz:
I have one of these, I think it's just a hot pixel. I emailed Clove and after seeing a photo of it, they said HTC won't replace for one bad pixel. Same thing as yours, only visible on white screens at odd angles, can't see it when looking at the phone straight on, and can't see it all on anything other than bright colours. Wish it wasn't there, but it's not a big deal to me, the rest of my phone is fine. Let me know if a pixel fixer works for you, haven't had luck so far. But I haven't noticed it lately.
[HTC One X] hamdir:
a typical hot pixel should appear on all the time even dark background, anyway no luck with JScreen except that the device crossed 55degree lol
[HTC One X] fallenwout:
Got the same issue. Send it for repair today, it bugs the hell out of me. If they wont replace my screen for i'm gonna ask a refund.
[HTC One X] Nit3m4re:
I just noticed that I have one as well. Not sure what to make of it really, could be a lot worse but its pretty peculiar. Anyone managed to shed some light as to what it is or been able to remove it? Or if HTC will repair it?
[HTC One X] maxcovergold:
I have one in the middle of my transformer prime, irritating but prob the least annoying type of screen deffect. Only noticeable on white backgrounds

[HTC One X] AndroidInsanity:
The medialink HD arrived this morning, as it was a free gift courtesy of phones4u. I played around with it for 2 hours, and this is what I think:

It was incredibly easy to set up and use, it even came with a stand so you can stick it on top of your HDTV. So that is a nice little bonus!

The actual product itself is MUCH smaller than I thought it would be, I thought it would be at least the size of the One X, but no, it's pretty damn small!

One thing I noticed, is that when playing an intense game like Blood and glory, it stutters for the for 2 minutes of gameplay, then it seems to run like a hot knife through butter, I found this was the same with web browsing too!

HD content and games overall look amazing, HTC actually got something right first time for once! I really recommend this product to ANYONE with a One X! Any questions more than welcome of course :)
[HTC One X] twe69:
First question, can I buy yours off you? £20 delivered? :D
[HTC One X] AndroidInsanity:
Considering I actually use it and people are buying them second hand for £70, sorry pal but no, sure you can find some on ebay though :)
[HTC One X] mickfitz:
Is it connected through Bluetooth or wifi?

What sort of range does it have before you get too far away from the TV?
[HTC One X] AndroidInsanity:
Neither to my knowledge, but then again have not tried it with wifi off, does not use bluetooth. and I can be a good 6 metres away before it stutters :)
[HTC One X] jaspabt:
Hi, Got mine this morning so thought I would add my own review.

Agree with OP, much smaller than I expected, making it very portable. Will upload some pictures shortly. Its made of plastic, but has a good weight to it, to make it not feel cheap. The box it came in was rubbish though!

To clarify questions I originally had -

It needs a WiFi connection to work

It needs to be plugged in to a power supply. Cable Provided

It uses HDMI. Cable provided

Minor lag after initial start up, but then ok.

Quick Buffer rates.

At the minute (I've only played around with it for an hour or so) but my feelings are its

OK

. I'm not blown away by it just yet and here is why.

Didn't want to connect initially despite me following the 5 simple steps to the letter. They really are simple so might say something about me! To the point I was going to send it back. Eventually though it worked, although i did exactly what I had originally. (Thinking it through it may be due to me having several broadband connections in my house, it may have switched midway through pairing)

As OP said, the first minute or 2 you experience random lag for 1, maybe 2 seconds at a time, after that its all good.

If I am playing a video, i cant see it on the phone as the image freezes on the first film image, although it plays fine on the TV.

It didn't want to work with MX PLayer, so had to use stock for viewing recordings and downloaded videos.

I don't have any "True" HD content on my phone yet (700mb stuff ;P), but this highlights the lack of quality that you don't originally see on the phones screen. Netflix for example, although picture is good on the phone, it is clearly a "stream" on the TV as the image is pixelated slightly. ESPN goals is the same (although on phone its not great, on TV is clearly worst).

If the phone content is in HD, games etc (I assume same with films), it looks sweet, and ignoring the start up lag it works really well for games.

In summary (and I don't want this to sound like im knocking it), I think it is more of a party piece, rather than a day to day item you would use. Great for sharing pictures or videos you have taken with family/friends rather than them passing your phone around the room.

Its very quick, images/video buffer very fast and play within seconds. Apart from MX Player, everything I have asked it to display on the TV it has, so there are no copyright restrictions that I can see at this stage, unlike AppleTV.

A perfect accessory for those that travel alot or spend a lot of time in hotel rooms.
[HTC One X] AndroidInsanity:
AGREED! although mine connected fine, no worries, I have a picture here :) excellent review btw!

[HTC One X] jonas2295:
thank you so much :D

yep you guessed right :cool: wasn´t sure if it would be the correct one but now I am ...
[HTC One X] jonstatt:
There is about 0.2 second lag if you are using it for hardcore gaming. I just thought I would point that out.

It is a fantastic concept and well executed....other than the horrible shiny black casing that comes slightly marked and gets further marked by breathing on it.

It uses your Wi-Fi network. The phone somehow informs the media link of your WiFi network and password. I am not sure how it achieves this. After doing so, the Media link has an IP address. It will automatically update its firmware when you are not using it. So further improvements for some of the hesitancy that some of reported may come.

But it truly is plug and play.
[HTC One X] AndroidInsanity:
Your Wifi speed is obviously faster than mine then as Blood and Glory lags for me for the first 2 minutes :)
[HTC One X] jonstatt:
I have a high-end Wifi solution (2.4Ghz and 5Ghz 450Mbps per frequency) and the medialink is reporting using my 5Ghz frequency, which is nice and clear from interference. That probably helps.
[HTC One X] AndroidInsanity:
And it knows your WiFi password and stuff due to the fact it is only transmitting the One X display to the TV, if it did need a password you would surely need a HDTV with internet capabilities too. :)
[HTC One X] Nos0x:
Received mine from dialaphone today. Very easy to set up but seems to be quite laggy for me, might experiment with different frequencies in case its interfering with my WiFi.
[HTC One X] welshand:
The problem i seem to have with this is that when i am playing a movie i am supposed to be able to leave the movie running and use my phone as normal,

This does not happen it justs says screen locked on my phone any button i press like home or running apps stops the movie playing
[HTC One X] azazin:
I have a problem with my Media Link HD, my phone doesn't seem to be able to configure, it keeps getting stuck 3/4 during the configuring process, I am running Leedroids 5.0 and have activated Multicast on my Virgin Media superhub (it says multicast should be activated in the manual) any ideas guys on how to connect them?
[HTC One X] AndroidInsanity:
I am guessing stock ROM works best. :)
[HTC One X] azazin:
It's working fine now, just kept restarting both the medialink and phone and now it's finally connected, going to use the superhub in modem mode now though to improve the WiFi signal :)
[HTC One X] marctronixx:
audio and video delays could be from how much processing the player needs to do. ive not seen any delay in audio or video when playing back some videos (not a full length movie). I use Dice player whenever possible.

the blue led should be lit at all times assuming its properly connected to your setup.
[HTC One X] twe69:
That seems true, but also video is slow and pixelated a bit too for me but that was only with a video I recorded with the phone, thinking maybe an issue with the rom 1.28 (waiting for updates still)....

Any idea what are the best settings to convert an mkv and stick it on the phones memory? Want to try a 720p video....

Thanks.
[HTC One X] twe69:
Ah just noticed what you said about the blue led.... So that is normal even if the phone has been disconnected from it?

I will test more with it..... The ebay seller is offering me some money back or a refund for it, tempted with some money back.... this was for some other issue (sold as new but not actually new)....
[HTC One X] marctronixx:
i have had two of these units. one i purchased from ATT and i eventually returned it and picked up one from sprint (i live in the US and use Sprint).

however, BOTH units would always have the blue led lit. both units would flash red when negotiating/talking to the network to establish a connection, but would stay blue even in standby.

this is what i have noticed...
[HTC One X] stevengw:
I'd love to try out one of these, and would be willing to write a comprehensive review..
[HTC One X] twe69:
Am having lots of success in the last few days for some reason, but am glad I am.

Connecting seems fine now if I leave the unit switched on.

Also no stuttering after recompressing my 720p movie with a program called RipBot.... as an mp4 file, right down to 1.8GB and the quality is still pretty good on my 1080p led screen. Also BS Player did stutter and look a little fragmented, but the on-board player works much better with it.... Going to be taking it with me at the weekend just incase theres time at the hotel to watch something.
[HTC One X] joenex:
I'm planning to buy the media link, but does anybode know what happens if you turn off the HOX screen? Does the audio playback (with PlayerPro for example) also stops? Is there a setting which let you turn off the HOX screen whilst playing a game or watching a video?
[HTC One X] Aleemz:
I got one yesterday and only tried it briefly. When you turn off the screen using the power button on the phone, the phone disconnects from the Media Link. IT would have been good to have this feature - don't know why HTC didn't implement it!?

As for a setting to turn off the screen while watching video, I'm not sure. As long as the video is in the standard media library of the phone, you can play the video to the TV, and use the other functions (web browsing, phone menu etc) on the phone, so you would expect some kind of facility to turn the screen off.
[HTC One X] twe69:
I have noticed when using the on-board video player, pressing the power button it still streams to the media link hd, which is good as you want to turn the screen off on the HOX anyway.... If I do the same with a third party one like BS Player it will cut off. Am on the 1.28 rom still.... Also picture quality was better through the HOX video player than BS player.
[HTC One X] Aleemz:
That's useful to know, thanks.
[HTC One X] joenex:
Thanks for checking! Hope HTC will add this function in the future, I want to use my HOX to stream music to my TV + surround set without draining the battery..
[HTC One X] zerozoneice:
no pun intended but that's why it's called BS player :)
[HTC One X] twe69:
more info: I used a progam called RipBot to help rip my mkv files.... Producing 1.2-1.5GB mp4 files which to me look really good at 720p and with aac 5.1 surround sound. It does not stutter to the tv and on-board video player.... (Does with BS Player and picture quality is worse, also power button will switch the video stream off not just the screen)....

Things like third party apps unfortunately you have to leave the screen on so far, for example on BBC iPlayer and ICE Stream......
[HTC One X] twe69:
Have since played a 90 minute movie, that was compressed to 720p mp4 about 1.4gb.... the two devices were clear to each other, did not hold the phone but left it on the coffee table, with a gap of 3.5 metres and there was no stutter.....

Pretty impressed by that!

It did not get too hot either but I did use the onboard video player with the screen off. Didn't check how much power it had used as it was late and fel asleep soon after. Probably could have watched another 1-2 movies easily....
[HTC One X] Aleemz:
On one of my televisions it works very smooth with no hint of stutter at all, but on my other tv, it stutters badly.

Has anybody else experienced this?

The room with the tv that works smoothly is also the room where my WiFi router is located. I wouldn't have thought this is the issue because I get a good WiFi signal in the other room where it stutters.
[HTC One X] marctronixx:
keep phone in the room where the router is and turn on the media link to the display in the other room and see if THAT makes a difference...

or is the distance from that stutter display too far away from the room with the router in it?
[HTC One X] twe69:
Am guessing it is the same media files that you are trying to use?

Does it stutter when you are very close to the unit with your phone?

Is the box behind the tv or infront of it?

Is the 2nd tv that it stutters on a plasma with a big solid chunk of metal behind it compared to the other tv?
[HTC One X] mjharis:
Hoi,

it seems to be a little nice box, but i still got some questions.

My Idea was, to use the One X in some way as a HTPC. (Without SAT ;))

I am running a FreeNAS machine an i want to play videos(all formats mkv, mpg4, avi....) via OX on my A/V Receiver.

1.So, anyone knows whether the OX is able to play MKV via NAS? Or do i have to upgrade with a streaming plugin??^^

\\ EDIT Tried to use AndSMB but this downloaded the film on phones storage, i hope that it works like on PC where it is loaded in cach/ram

2.How is the quality with 1080p movies?

3.OX is able to charge while using medialinHD?

best regards :D
[HTC One X] AndyLeJizm:
Thanks for the review. Really want to get a medialink box for myself, could you check up for me if it stutters with 'SnesDroid'?

Would love to play some oldskool games on my 42" television, but my TF101 has really bad performance on HDMI.. :(
[HTC One X] wis.m:
There is no problem to watch mkv files on HOX. I have xbmc on my pc and using Hox to watch 720p and 1080p mkv files over wifi.
[HTC One X] akhil8377:
Turning the screen off using the power button does not stop video or music player using the right applications. There are two modes for HTC Media Link, mirroring and using HTC Media Link as "Media Renderer". When used as DMR, phone can be used for other functions and it does not stop play back etc. When using as mirror, whatever is running on Phone is mirrored to TV so if screen is off, it disconnects.

I play all my media to TV through Media Link in DMR mode. My all media is on NAS and various Media servers are set up on my home network. I use an application called ArkMC which shows all my media servers to choose from and is also capable to push the playback on TV as it has functionality of "Play To". I have also installed Mobo player in case i want to playback my media from NAS on my phone and it is able to play all sort of formats (almost all) both on phone and on TV.

Perhaps this helps

Sorry to bump this thread back up but is anyone having issues getting the medialink to work with JB? I'm on ARHD 10.5 and it won't connect to my Media Link and keeps saying there is an update available, searches, then claims there is no available update

I've just tried using the Media Link with JB and it works on ARHD13 as the Media Link has just updated
[HTC One X] mrdey:
Jep, works well on OrDroid 7.1.0 too.

Anyone figured out how to send video stream to MediaLink from PC? Is it possible?
[HTC One X] akhil8377:
Yes, Right click on your media file and there would an option of "Play To". You can select any DMR available on your network- HTC Media link should be one of them. Till the time you can see HTC Media Link as one of DMR in your "PC Network", you can play the content on TV through Media link.

Good luck
[HTC One X] mrdey:
Wow, never noticed that option! Nice one! Thanks a lot akhil!
[HTC One X] Nyehehe:
Hello everybody!

Unfortunately I had to send my HOX to service, so it will be away for a while (2-3 weeks :((( ). The Media Link HD has freezed so I had to reset it, but when it has restarted it won't connect to my home wi-fi network, instead it creates it-s own hub.

My question is how can I force it to connect to my home wi-fi network without any Sense 4 or 4+ enabled HTC phone? I have at home a HTC HD2 with gingerbread on it, a Wildfire S (not rooted) with stock rom and a Samsung Galaxy Note 2.

Is there any possibility to put the Media Link HD on the network?

Thanks! :)
[HTC One X] familyhousing:
Connect to the ad hoc network with another device, preferably a pc. I think the wifi password is htc1234567890 (lowercase - Google it if it doesn't work) . In a browser you can now navigate to the ip address of the media link hd. You can find the ip address from your tv display (although it doesn't always seem to display), or you can find it by looking for the default gateway on your connected device (on a pc you could use the ipconfig command or look at the network adapter status).

The web interface is pretty buggy but it will allow you to connect to a wifi network and to check for firmware updates. Remember that once you connect to your wifi network the device will change to a new ip address issued by your router.

Hope that helps.

Does anybody know how to prepare my HOX to stream HD video files via Medialink without stuttering and bad video quality? If I run Youtube, HD work fine, but if I play HD video from MX player (or whatever other player) in got minimum stuttering and bad quality.:confused:
[HTC One X] angusc:
I have great picture quality for the first hour until I've hearing occurs. But before that the picture quality is great, I use ND Player Pro but anything pays well.....Do you have a good WiFi router? Try turning off your router and let the device and media link connect directly rather than via your home network for a test.
