Does anyone know if it's possible to strengthen the IrDA port on the Trinity?
It's reduced my range from a good 10 feet to a mere 3-6 feet when using Novii remote control software...
I was wondering if the IrDA strength is something that can be adjusted.
Thanks for your time.
I see no-one else cares for using their device as a universal remote control...
Why would they? It's not like that ultra-cool WAWA utility is of any use, what with the wake yourself up using the TV option.

Hey!
What do you mean by 'it's reduced my range' ? Did it use to have a 10 feet range before?
You may find the following advice helpful:
You may try a remote extender like

I bought it a year ago. Its cost was $50. It worked!

Sorry, I should have specified that my last phone was the HTC Wizard. So, going from Wizard to Trinity, I lose several feet in range.
Thanks for the link, but I'm afraid an external device would defeat the purpose for me as I'd like to have everything in one device.
I sure hope the Kaiser or whatever's going to succeed the Trinity has a better infrared range.
Edit: Oh, great! It seems the Kaiser doesn't have IrDA, period. HTC: .|.
IR woes
Hey,
I been playing round with my HTC Trinity trying out some remote softwares.
Promixis Netremote www.promixis.com doesnt work at with the IRDA, I assume it will work with the girder features but I havent decided how I would try an implement this in my house, I would need a USB UIRT which would have to have like a 10 metre cable.
Anyway so Ill get back to that some other time.
I first came across netremote when I was playing round with my HTC Magician. I was dissappointed when it didnt quite make the range I needed, short by about 1 metre, and the magician didnt have Wifi and you couldnt get wifi + storage cards so the girder option was kinda out the question.
So I got my Trinity and was looking around for general software to add to my new baby and found Novii remote deluxe www.novii.tv by accident and thought what the heck ill give it a go and see it goes, I was dissappointed by the range on the trinity (atleast it actually picks up the IRDA on the trinity unlike netremote), but just for kicks and because I still have the magician kicking around I thought I would try it on that. heres the funny bit, It actually gives me the extra distance I need for the magician to work.
So I was wondering in my not very hardware savvy head, and after reading some of the other IR threads in the XDA II and alpine forums.
If anyone know if the IRDA modules are the same in the magician and the trinity? I noticed when using the camera view finder on the devices that blink rate is not seen when the same signal is being sent on the magician when compared to the trinity, and the magician seems abit brighter (I guess that could also be related to the different cams on the devices, I dont have a third cam to test both with). Is it possible in theory to increase the power output via HW/SW control?
Has anyone tried replacing a IR emitter on a magician with a normal tv remote emitter? is it even vaguely possible? would it be something as simple as just changing the Emitter, or would you have to delve deeper into the board?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/files/naked-magician-insane.jpg
Is that the emitter on the edge of the board at about K 17?(see .jpg)
Hold me back I might actually try changing to a normal TV one on my magician if I get bored.
Really just bumping the thread, but if anyone can increase my knowledge in the area I would be most thankful.

Hi,
As far as i know, for 10 feet and above C(ustomer)IR is required and Trinity has only S(erial)IR/F(ast)IR, used only for close range transmission of data, so sorry, but no love - unless you don't mind changing channels next to the TV.
Ok I tried the motorola Atrix the other day. And I saw that it comes with a better wifi app or signal receiver. I would like to know if some one knows how to make our wifi better or flash custom the atrix wifi app, to see it works better. I have a VIZIO router at home the Inspire just reads the VIZIO signal which runs at 2.5ghz And there is a option to run VIZIO HD which runs up to 5.0+ ghz. But the only device that ever read it was the Moto Atrix, sadly it isn't mine. Although I like the Inspire mutch better. If any one knows I would appreciate some suggestions. I'm doing my own research if anyone interested.
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.

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)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bqlzmmy0EGo
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.
Hi all,
i would like to buy a tablet + keyboard + 3g but the old generation (tf300tg/tf300tl) seems to be no more available here in Italy (i just bought it on amazon.it but it came with the French localization, "azerty" keybord).
I'm wondering if someone ever managed to run an 3g dongle (USB) on the tf7001 (usb on keybord) . This seems to be possible on the tf700 with root and a specific app but i didn't find any info about the tf701.
any suggestion?
I think this device is too new to have some experience with this.
What you could do is search in the TF700 thread what software was used to make it work and test it yourself on your own TF701 after you bought it with a dongle and report here your findings.

3G works flawlessly with my Huawei E160 Dongle and the PPPWidget App. You can get it for free in the Play Store.
Or just use a MiFi like everyone else.

Well in the UK it is but seems to have been crested by three.
Everyone I know uses them. You can connect up to 5 devises simultaneously. Battery lasts 30 days on standby, 10 hours continous use. USB dongles are dead.

Outside of battery life is there any advantage to using one of these vs just tethering on my phone?

I added another I to your link, just to check. For some reason I was sure that You were talking about making your "M"obile phone active as W"ifi" access point, but this is a little different. Is there some speed gain in this version against making your phone act like WAP ?

Oops copy and paste fail
It creates a wirless hotspot - whilst connected to 4G - so you get very fast speeds. Also you don't need any drivers or for it to physically connected.

Yeah, but that's what my HTC One also does, as long as our provider does actually deliver 4G (does not work so well). Also here no drivers needed, anyway MiFi is not exactly what I thought, but I was close.
So why the dongle?

Hey everyone. I gotta say, the droid turbo is an incredible phone even without the promised 48 hour battery life. However, I can not find any info on support for MHL or not. I've got a pioneer radio (this one to be exact) that demands it and so far I can't get it to work. Any help/alternatives to MHL? Thanks.

When I looked for the spec everything I read kept referring to some form of casting or mirroring wirelessly. I am disappointed and pretty confident there is no MHL

I don't know about MHL, but it is compatible with WiDi, MiraCast and AllCast/AllShare.
Just turn on your WiFi then bring up the toggles from the notifications screen and you will see a Cast Screen option.

Yeah i knew that, but i don't know how to get the radio to communicate with my phone.
This is on Motorola site. Doesn't say what phone it works with but I would assume it would work with ours. Too bad it's out of stock for the $3 bucks they want I would have given it a shot.

Any luck on this? I just recently bought a pioneer radio as well, and trying to do the same thing. I have everything connected, but it turbo doesn't play along. Have you made any progress with yours? Bought a new phone that does support mhl??

Droid Turbo doesn't support video out over a wired connection. Your best bet is to buy a Miracast dongle like the Microsoft Wireless Display Adapter or Belkin Miracast Adapter and an HDMI coupler (Female to Female).
Connect the coupler to the HDMI sticking out of the radion and connect the adapter to the coupler. You'll need to provide power the wireless adapter as well.
For the Pioneer radio set the settings to HDMI connection type for AppRadio Mode, pair the Bluetooth from phone the radio and go to your display settings on your phone and connect to the wireless adapter.
PM me if you need more help.
