I recently bought one of these but can't seem to get it working on my tv or laptop. I watched the official htc how-to video and it says to make sure the tv and phone are connected to same wifi. My questions include:
what is the purpose of both being on same wifi if I already have an mhl adapter and hdmi cable connecting my phone and tv?
how do I set this up? And for my laptop?
Do I need a newer tv to do this? My tv is 37" 1080p but doesn't have built-in wifi or anything like that.
I've also heard the term "mhl-capable tv"...how do I know if mine is capable?
Thanks for any help!

Have you tried restarting the phone?

Not yet, but can you give me some reasoning as to why that might work? I'll try it out when I get home later

Try plugging your micro-usb cable into the side of the MHL cable. Then plug the AC adapter end into an outlet. You need to be charging your Sensation in order to use the HDMI out.

Ya I did that, and I get the hdmi out icon in my status bar and as soon as I plug it in, my tv detects the new signal but my phone doesn't see the tv cuz its not on same wifi. So my question is why is wifi necessary if its already connected via mhl and hdmi? And also how can I set up the wifi for the tv or do I need an even newer tv to do this?

I dont know why but the restart helped my phone last time I had this issue. Maybe it has to restart that service. Is your phone temp-rooted?

Oh alright, just try to reboot the phone and it should work. I was wondering if you were temp-rooted because that was when I had troubles with my mhl adapter.

Yeah that first part about being on the same WiFi doesn't even make sense. When I got my MHL adapter, I took it over to a friends house plugged it into his TV and it worked like a charm.
I did not have to reset my phone though, I don't know why that would make a difference or not but it can't hurt to try.
I have the mhl + hdmi cable, you don't need a WiFi connection. It just needs to be charging, connected thru the adapter's side, and connected to the TV with the hdmi cable.
BTW there is no WiFi in a place I use it often.

Anyone tried watching an xvid movie on your tv via the MHL adaptor?
If you have, is it working ok?
For me, the quality of the picture is very much depending on which player
I use. The best one that I have tried is "Dice player". But no matter what I do I can´t get any "flow" in the picture. It is always "choppy".
Any suggestions of how to solve it? If it can be solved...

Turns out im an idiot didnt realise it had a port to power it my bad
Im running the latest revolver 1.3.1 and qas wondering if I can pair over Bluetooth? I dont have a usb adapter
Sent from my LT15i using XDA App
Well you can buy "sixaxis controller" app from the market. ($5 i guess when i bought it). You just need a usb cable to connect ps3 controller to your desktop to change bluetooth settings. Then you're good to go.
you do not need it anymore, it can be done without root (i am rooted). I just connected it via usb turned on bluetooth and it paired itself automatically for me.

Wait this message was directed towards me or alakhai? If me, then all you need to do is buy the app from the market.
Then download "sixaxispairtool" on your desktop.
Connect your ps3 controller to your desktop (using ps3 usb cable) and change "local bluetooth address" to your tablet's bluetooth using the tool.
(You can find your tablet's LBA at the bottom when you launch the app)
Hoping someone can help me with this.... Can I listen to pandora via usb connection on my car stereo? It has a usb port and I can use to mount as mass storage device, but wondering how to/if I can play pandora through it
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium
As soon as you use mass storage the os becomes unavailable. You might try this adapter. I've never used it so I have no idea if it will work but it seems like it should. Also do you have bluetooth on the deck?
http://www.amazon.com/StarTech-ICUSBAUDIO-USB-Audio-Adapter/dp/B000NPKGGK/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8
No bluetooth, the deck is a viole years old and the aux input doesn't work anymore. maybe I'll check this out
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium
It says it's for computers but I don't see why it wouldn't work. And for 14 bucks it's worth a shot. Or you could just get a new deck. lol Good Luck.
Hi Chazel3
I have an unused line out to FM transmitter (connecting to car power socket).
It can be a blast combined with voodoo sound on AntonX's kernel.
See attached image.
Let me know if you want it.

Never liked fm modulators very much, looking for more of a hard line solution, probably end up getting a new head unit with bluetooth, thanks for the help tho!

just want to make sure before i go ahead and change master bluetooth address.

I'm pretty sure when you plug the controller into the usb on the ps3 and hit the ps3 button it'll pair back to that.
Just like when you take your controller to a friends place you need to pair it with that ps3 using the above method.
I'll give it a quick try on mine I've got 4 controllers - do I just need the app? No special leads or anything?
Edit: Looks like I need a USB cable to pair it to the tablet so I can't check that part for you but I was able to pair with the ps3 again after I changed the bluetooth master address to the tablets one.
I hope that helps you.

Yea in order to use it agin to ps3, you needto plug it in using the mini usb to the ps3 ,but that will change the master address back to ps3's...you then need to change it again to the tablet's master address...
I'm pretty sure my first edit covered that but thanks for valuable input there.

This may sound stupid, but i bought the controller not knowing you need to buy the charger seperate. Anyone who has used this controller for your tablet, do i need to buy an adapter to hook up the controller with a usb initially?? Thats what the instructions say, just wanna be clear.

Just buy a USB to Mini-B cable and you can connect/charge it with your pc. Make sure your pc installs the correct usb driver for it because it needs to communicate before getting the correct current/voltage.
You would need the cable anyway to reprogram with SixaxisPairTool.

For charging on pc, all 4 leds will flash while charging. They will switch off when done.
I presume you'd want to use it wirelessly using bluetooth. For bluetooth connection take a look at Sixaxis
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dancingpixelstudios.sixaxiscontroller&hl=en
Install procedure including how to pair etc.

You need to be rooted. If not rooted you can use a wired controller.

Ok so i changed the blue tooth address on the controller to the address on my tablet with the tool kit. I am already rooted. When i plug the controller to the pc it shows the same address. I have the sixaxis app from the play store. I have ime bypassed. I hit start within the app. Then i hit the power/ps button on the controller and nothing happens. The controller doesnt blink any lights or anything. When i just plug the controller to my pc it blinks all 4 lights for a little bit then stops (assuming its charged) not sure what im doing wrong or if my controller just isnt working. Just got the controller in the mail today. I admit tho, when i first got it i was stupid and excited and plugged it into the wall. If anyone thinks thats what killed it ill return it and get a new one. I just wanna make sure its not something im missing. Thanks in advance.

The first thing is try with Dead Trigger. It has native support. Go to options etc. The mapping is very small and hard to see.
Go to Preferences->Gamepad Settings->Enable Gamepad. Make sure it's ticked.
Go to Keyboard Emulation->Bypass IME->untick.
Report back your results.
p.s. this might be silly but don't substitute letter o with zero for address.

Ok, so i checked the address and if i put an o in place of a 0 (zero) then its invalid and wont let me update the address. Anyway, i downloaded dead trigger and weng i to preferences in sixaxis controller and checked enable Gamepad and unchecked bypass ime. Tried learning in my controller and still no lights or anything when i hit the power button.

I think you've done everything correctly. The only other option is to try with another controller to make certain or return the one you have. Sorry mate.

Ok, i ordered and recived a new controller. And its still not working. Ive come to the conclusion that it is user error. I think its the SixaxisPairTool im using. It allows me to change the bluetooth address bu when i un install it, it has an error Saying this is not supported on this platform. Ive tried downloading the 32bit version for windows xp a bunch and it keeps showing this 64 verio is not compatible with your platform.... At this point i would be great full if someone could just shoot me a link for the correct download for my platform and/or walk me through this. I feel and sound like a little kid who needs their hand held but I really want this to work!! Please anyone!
