Thank you Harry, I have tried to do that but it is still not working. Sometimes when I start to sinc and my phone is not turned on wireless, I will then start to find a wireless network and the media link configuration shows on my phone but not on the TV. Then at the end, it cancels out. The TV shows a big triangle error, and the message is in Korean, so I dont understand it.

Have you downloaded the English user manual?
For to change the Language of the Media Link the ML should connected to TV, but not with the phone per three finger gesture.
Then you should go to the phone's Settings, More, Media Link (tap on left side of the bar), Advanced settings ...
chance the language and tap Save.

Hello everyone….this is my first post on this forum and I am reaching my end with the MediaLink HD.
I have tried everything after reading every post in this forum and others and I am beginning to think that I have a bad unit.
First I have a international HTC One X and the it finds the MediaLink HD right away after the 3 finger swipe but it repeatedly stops just before the end of the configuration and on my One X is says it cannot complete the configuration and on the MediaLink HD it just shows the configuration screen stuck at that postion.
I have reset everything in the chain from my Apple Router (Apple Time Capsule) to the One X to the MediaLink HD. Same thing….
I tried to connect directly to the MediaLink HD so I changed my wireless settings on the One X and it allowed me to connect directly to the MediaLink HD as the wireless network but when I go to connect to the MediaLink HD for content it cannot connect again!!!
Does anyone have any other suggestion??
Once I connected to the MediaLink HD as my wireless connection and still could not connect to it I started to think that the unit is a DUD.
i have read that the most people having issues with the link are users that have apple equipment in the chain.
the only thing i can suggest is to try this using a friends wireless network and setting it up there, or go to a store and try a working HOX and see if it will connect.
you mentioned you could connect adhoc (directly) to the link but still could not use it, so it could very well be a faulty unit.
these things are super simple to connect to and use so i also tend to side with the notion that its the link that is defective...

That's what I was thinking as well. On my list of wireless devices it showed up and I inputed 1234567890HTC and it connected to it right away so i go back to the user interface and NOTHING!!!
I am going to try it on my cousins network and I will see if that makes a difference as he has a NON-Apple router. That was my other possible kink in this set-up.
Thanks for the quick reply

When i first got the Media link, it was unbearably slow. I then checked for a firmware update and found there was one already and applied that. It made it much faster but there was still a little lag. It also still constantly had to keep buffering the video every 15-20 seconds when i streamed videos i recorded. When using Youtube, it was fine though.
But ended up replacing the router last week because i noticed the laptop and even the smartphones kept randomly disconnecting and reconnecting. Thought it was Comcast at first but the neighbors would not drop in and out like ours. But long story short, after replacing the router, it is even faster with very little to no lag and the video buffering issue is 100% gone.
So if you have an older router and are experiencing issues, look into replacing it because it helped me out big time. I was considering returning the media link but glad i didn't.
3 finger gestures are programmed gestures that que an app on your phone. While rooted you can get for example. :swipe 3 fingers up to launch browser, or 3 finger swipe down to launch Facebook.

[3 finger gestures] Anyone have any idea what they are on this phone?
Thanks!

There is also the lesser known 2 finger gesture. If you are in a long list, say of contacts in 'People', or artists/songs to play in 'Music' if you use 2 fingers it will scroll the list alphabetically by first letter.
And if you are really really mad at your phone you can always give it the classic one finger gesture?
Thanks for the reply...the router is BRAND NEW!!! It is a Apple (Time Capsule) router and hard drive built in together, I am not sure if that makes a difference. I just got the RMA to return the ML and it will be going back on Tuesday. We will see how the new one acts..... fingers crossed
Apple products, as mentioned earlier in this thread, have the most issues with this device.
I did read that and it concerns me. I do not have access to another router but the ad hoc problem really threw me off. I will report back once I get the new unit.

I am using my home network. I was wanting to set somebody up that does not have a network in their apt. Does the adhoc(peer to peer) networking work well enough to stream without buffering? I just don't want to go through the hassle and expense only to find out it isn't very usable. It would be really cool for her if it worked well though!
you can test this yourself by connecting your phone to the link hd peer to peer. it works well but it depends on the sprint reception in the area to determine your buffering issues. if you have a good clean cellular signal you should have good experiences with P2P.
if you have your msl, go in and remove the sprint proxies so that you dont have to go through that extra step.

Well I guess I spoke too soon. Strangely it works perfectly with youtube and netflix but for whatever reason it cannot stay connected when on Pandora or Google Music. It will play for about 2 minutes and then drop back to the phone speaker. What appears to be happening is the phone drops the wifi signal momentarily and then picks it back up. Maybe the other services have enough buffer where it doesn't affect them. Anyway, I did read this entire thread a week ago but might have to re read it to see if anything is in here regarding this issue.
I swear I am very close to throwing my arms up and giving in to the evil apple!

Well time to dust off this thread. After the Jelly Bean Update my Media Link wanted a password to connect which it never had before. I looked every where and tried every password I could think of and no dice. When in doubt Hard Reset right? I hard reset both my phone and the Media Link and now I can not configure the Media Link at all. It tries but throws up an error that it cannot be configured. I connected to it literally 10 minutes before the update. I have even tried to connect to it Peer to Peer and no dice. Anyone else having an issue?
Hi, got my new media link yesterday. Setup and config was very easy, but when i started the Netflix app, and a movie the picture and sound just stuttered on my television. On my phone it was smooth. Any of you know how i can fix this?

A few things may fix this but we need to know your setup:
1) Are you on the latest Jelly Bean update for the Evo 4g Lte? Stock or rooted?
2) Is your Media Link on the latest and greatest firmware?
3) What brand and model is your Router?
4) Are you running it on 2.4GHZ or 5GHZ?
5) are you in an area with a lot of other Wifi routers possibly causing interference?
6) Are you getting decent signal strength? Download WiFi Analyzer from the Play Store. it is Free and can tell you a bit of info about what your network looks like.
I fixed my original stopping and stuttering streaming issues by upgrading the MEdia Link Firmware, Upgrading my Router to a high end Netgear and running it on 5ghz because of alot of 2.4 ghz interference.
Where / how can I find the HTC Media Link HD's wifi mac address?
My roommate has the wifi router in our home setup in such a fashion that we have to manually put in the mac address of the device we wish to connect to the home network.
Pain in my ass he is.
*ALSO*
What is the latest sw/firware version for the HTC ML HD? I'm on 2.99.103.11
For what it's worth I'm on a HTC Droid DNA. Not an evo, like most of you.

Download an app called Fling from google play store(free). Fling will show you all the Mac addresses in the house, right on your LTEVO Also when the splash screen for media link pops up on your hdtv, at the bottom of the screen it will show its mac address right before it connects to the home network.
Your Version is up to date, same as mine.

I just got an HTC one and the Media Link HD came with it. I set it up and it worked great the first time. However, on all subsequent attempts to use it it fails to connect properly. When I 3 finger swipe to bring it up I get a prompt about calling 611 to set up a hotspot then a prompt about turning the TV to the correct input. The thing is that the TV is on that correct input. While this is happening I can see what I am doing and that same prompt on the TV but it goes away after a short while and won't stay connected. After it does that it returns to the screen on the TV telling me to 3 finger swipe. On the phone when this happens I select OK on the prompt and it goes back to telling me there is a Media Link I can connect to. I have tried doing a reset of the device and rebooting my phone, switching to a different HDMI connection on the TV but nothing seems to work. Is there some setting stored somewhere deep in the phone I can remove associated with this connection because it seems I'm out of options on the device? I'm out of ideas here now could use any help I can get. It was such a tease to get it working that first time and now it won't.
After connect to the TV and swipe 3 fingers up, my HTC phone prompted there is an updated firmware available for the HTC Medialink HD. So "OK" to update it, but seem its is stuck at the updating screen, the bar just won't move. I have reset it a few times, all the same results, the screen just stuck at the updating firmware... sometimes without showing the status bar. How can I solve it?
Are there two different versions of this product? I ask because I was looking into buying one for my new HTC One, and a website said that there was a different "H200 HTC Media Link HD" made for the HTC One. I've also seen ads that say "original HTC Media Link" so I'm thinking that they (the first media links) are model H100, instead of the newer H200? Does this sound right?
HERE is the link which mentioned the other version for the HTC One. Also, with technology moving so fast, is there any other product(s) or way that you can use your TV to see things on your phone. This is basically like Apple Airplay, so once both devices 'see' each other I would think the process would be pretty straight forward.
The HTC EVO 4G LTE is Sprint's version of the HTC One X. It comes with all the same specs, except for the processor, internal storage and radios (includes LTE). And aesthetics are also significantly different.
