HTC HD2 works as a remotecontroll for the TV? - HD2 Accessories

I was wondering if there is any chance so you can put your HTC HD2 as a rempote controll for a Samsung TV?

I highly doubt it, since most TVs have an IR sensor,
and the HD2 does not have an IR port,
at least not a built in one.

thats correct, its not possible unless you hook up your own IR into the phone

W100 Remote Control/stereo headphone adapter?

Has anyone bought and tried the HTC W100 remote control/headphone adapter?
It looks like it should work, and I'll probably buy it; but I was curious if anyone already has.
Thanks,
Matt

so i assume that means it's been tested and works?

Hehe someone buy this! (TV-out Cable for HD2 on eBay) :)

100% Brand New
Description:-
An accessories that you need to view your phone files on a TV
Some phone models also support transfer of pictures, video clips and powerpoint presentations to the TV.
Compatibility list : HTC TOUCH HD2
The design of actual item may look slightly different from the picture, depending on each batch of stock
----------------------------
EDIT: For people stumbling across this thread, the joke is this will not now, not ever work with the HD2! Don't waste your time or money hoping otherwise
Where is the hardware on the HD2 ?
It looks like any TV-out cable, I have the same type on my Omnia Pro.
The question is : Can the HD2 use the video out ? I don't recall seeing it in hardware specification.
Edit: Anyway I've just bought one, it was cheap enough for a TV-out and if it doesn't get used with HD2, I can still use it with Omnia Pro
I don't get the joke.
I seriously doubt it will work. If, by some miracle it does work, let us know.
To be honest I doubt it will do anything, but I needed a TV-out cable anyway
You might want to give this thread a read before you try the cable. There's some registry changes & cabs that you might want to play around with to see if you can actually get tv out on the hd2. Probably wont work, but might as well try if you're getting the cable.

impossible!!! where is the cable plugged in?
This is a standard 3.5mm jack with stereo + video. You can plug it like you would plug the headset in
My old N900 could do this, right out of box, with a tv out (3.5 mm jack) Whyy cant the HD2?
Your OLD ??? N900 , if its that old ill be happy to take it off your hands lol

Because the N900 has a specific software (and hardware) unlike the HD2.
my nokia n96 had a cable that plugged into the audio slot and then the 3 coloured cable that go into tv, if i can find it ill test it and let u know
Why would you trust some eejit on eBay selling a cable saying it's compatible with your phone, over the countless threads on xda explaining why TV Out is not possible on the HD2.
Here's a hint, the part of the Snapdragon chipset that deals with TV out is not connected to anything. Unless you plan on soldering the connector into your 3.5mm jack yourself, it's never going to work.

Did you get, try the cable yet? I've read about this with the EVO but nothing specific with the HD2.
Ive got a cable that plugs into the HD2 via the usb...
it allows you to turn your HD2 into a hot-plate for cooking eggs and such.
you want one? i sell it to you for £4.99 +P&P
I always did want a gadget that could do everything, like schoolwork and make breakfast. This would definitely get me closer

Why does everyone have to be so negative. Will it work? according to reports probably not, but if someone is going to do the rest of us a favor and test it out say thank you and see if it works.

[Q] Wireless display over wifi and HTC One : miracast ?

Hi,
I'm looking for a device that would allow me to replicate the screen of my HTC one on my full HD TV.
I would like to to able to do the same thing with the same device but with my mac
I think my solution is called miracast.
Am i right ?
Which device is known to work perfectly with the HTC One ?
Any idea of how to make it work with my macbook pro and iPad ?
many thanks !
HD MediaLink
Are you talking about the HD Media Link? This little accessory mirrors the screen on the HTC One to your TV. But depending on what you're doing, your experience may vary. If you like to look at photos and basically anything still, then this will work. But any fast paced moving pixels, forget about it. The only game that I've tried that works well is angry birds, but even then it stutters. I don't know how you plan on using it, but I'd say it's not worth $90. ATT gave it away for free during their preorder promotion.
This device, to the best of my knowledge, does not work with any other device besides HTC devices with at least Sense 4.0. If you want your mac/iphone/ipod to work, you need to get an appletv. Hope this helps.

Hi,
No i'm not talking about the Media Link that seems to work only with HTC devices.
I'm talking about a miracast dongle/box that i'll be able to use with my htc one, my iPad, my S2, my macbook pro, etc
Anyone have try Netgear PTV3000 with HTC One?
According to Google, the HTC One supports Miracast, but for your Apple devices only Airplay will work. Try to find a device that supports both.

There is a device called Xiaomi Box by a chinese company which is the only known device which supports Miracast as well as Airplay. Although this device is very hard to get due to its high demand in china. Try your luck. Most other devices like Belkin screencast, netgear ptv 3000, etc only support miracast.
Samsung allshare cast dongle is miracast

I tried a Samsung allshare cast dongle with the HTC One and it seems to work. The One sees it as a miracast device and connects OK. The screen updates just fine but there is a serious audio sync issue when playing videos. I need to do some more testing.

I can confirm this does work with the HTC One
Miracast should be universal solution for Android devices, it is still young technology and there is not much information or tests and reviews.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miracast
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2013/02/21/feature_wtf_is_miracast/
Bit of a flop about this is that we can't use existing technology, wireless connection, TV, PC's or consoles for that, like with DLNA. Those are designated dongles that plug into TV or monitor. If you type "miracast" in eBay search you'll find some dongles, but IMHO they are still too expensive, on par with Android media players which are far more complex and versatile. There are some hints that it can be enabled in Windows 7/8.1 using Intel WiDi but that is hardware limited. Maybe not for long

ZK-W18 Mirasharer doesn't work
just received my ZK-W18 mirasharer from Ebay and so far I am having trouble connecting it to my HTC One.
Sorry duplicate post.
There is a video here about HTC One Miracast(NETGEAR PTV3000)

Just tried it with Sony Bravia W905 and it was no-go
One sees Bravia as Miracast compatible device, Bravia registers One and then after looong waiting nothing happens. And again, and again, reboot, restart, nothing. Oh well.

Yep, I tried configuring my One with Sony W655 and same story as above, both see each other, configured but then looong wait and nothing...
Maybe 4.2.2 will fix that?
I already am on 4.2.2. - ARHD 12. We even updated software on TV, didn't help.
Well, in that case it sucks...
It would be great to have this functionality out of the box...
Has anyone tried these HDMI DLNA devicse with our HTC ONE? I just want to play movies on the TV with this:

Get yourself the Samsung allshare dongle. It works flawlessly. Sad part it works better with my HTC one then with my samsung tablet

I have a Raspberry Pi connected to my TV, running XBMC (xbian).
I can simply use the "Select Player" option in the top right menu on my HTC when viewing pictures and select my XBMC device (xbian) I can then control the slideshow, shown on my TV pretty cool.
The videos I made with the HTC One are using 22mbit/s bitrate (ridiculously high) so that will never work via Wifi (unless you have a very expensive 11ac router).
But I could test it with other videos of course... will report back.
using the Yatse app, you will be able to stream anything to XBMC btw... but its a paid app. I think it uses DLNA tech.

Hi Globen, is this with videos taken on the HTC One or streaming videos? What's a youtube video like? I only ask because mine has a serious lipsync issue but works fine for photos and non-video screens.

Enable HDMI CEC?

Hey guys, I have two TVs that don't seem to have HDMI cec so it wont turn on my TV or switch inputs. One is fairly old and a new one is a Westinghouse so I guess it was to cheap to have it. I was wondering if there was some kind of adapter to enable cec on non cec TVs?

If you give us the make and model of your TVs then maybe we can determine for sure if they do or don't
While it's technically possible if you had some kind of HDMI interpreter/sniffer for the CEC commands and a variety of home-automation mechanisms for handling the necessary IR blasting, short answer is you're extremely unlikely to see this as a commodity-produced product, or even as a small-production product.
It's far easier and more economical to get a newer TV that supports CEC, so there's little market for such a device.
Well the old one is a 40" Rca that is about 4 years old, not sure the model. And the new one is a 40 inch westinghouse dwm40f1g1

Page 12 of your Westinghouse's manual seems to at least say they're aware HDMI can carry control.
HDMI plug which replaces the HDMI connection allows transfer of all audio/video/control signals through one cable only.

Then again, there's obviously a mistake there with the HDMI replacing... HDMI, so confidence is a little shaken, heh.
You are using wall power for the Chromecast, rather than the TV's USB port, right?
Not going to find anything that will enable HDMI-CEC as it is has much to do with the wiring of the HDMI port and Internal circuitry.
Even if you found a device to convert CEC into an IR blast it would only work if the CCast was plugged into it which would be a waste of money just to get a Chromecast to turn on a TV.
If your going to spend that kind of money go get a full IR over IP Blaster for the whole system which should come with a control panel you can use on your Tablet as well. (either via App or HTML)
Much better investment if you ask me.
I should point out though that the price of a IR over IP blaster is almost half what a typical 40" TV with HDMI-CEC goes for! LOL
Ya using the wall power.

Yup, add the time required to configure (or pay someone) and you're at a new TV. But everyone's time is worth different amounts to them.
Me, I'd probably gift the old TV to relatives.

Yes but if the IR blaster is set up the right way you can have loads of fun scaring the hell out of Babysitters and Maids who are slacking off and Watching your TV when they should be dusting! LOL
Fun for the Whole Family!
