[Q] MHL

has anyone tried MHL feature on SP, and confirmed if it's working on rooted roms as well? if someone was successful, what cable brand was used or it has to be some proprietary sony cable? I got a generic one for S3 bought from DX, tried it on a rooted rom and it's not working so I'm just curious what it your experienced folks.

I looked into this briefly a month or so ago.

Anyway I think we need to use the old 5 pin adaptor, from the s3 onwards Samsung use a proprietory 11 pin one that's incompatible with our device.

works for me.. bought for my samsung S2...

Bought an S2 MHL adapter..Works very fine with my SP...

ok guys, thanks for your replies. it seems that we need that older adapter, like the one for S2.

Bought a Samsung Galaxy S3 to mini HDMI adapter but i did not think that it would not fit (the S3 adapter has a litle metal thingy that prevents it from going in the SP i bumped that down and it fit well.)
The thing is that i dont have a Mini HDMI to HDMI cable

S5 with Android Auto

Does anyone else having issue with the Galaxy S5 not working with Android Auto? I have the new Pioneer 8100NEX but AA does not start up when I plug in the S5 to the head unit.

Could you read other threads and find by yourself ? it would take not longer than 3 minutes, even writing this thread took longer than finding it.

I am able to use my Samsung Galaxy S5 with Android Auto MINUS the voice/microphone capability with my AVIC-8100nex Pioneer HU.

Check the link below to see if your phone falls into the list of phones with known issues.
https://support.google.com/androidauto/#6200174
Also make sure your Pioneer stereo is updated to the latest update, ver 1.03.

Samsung Galaxy S6 and Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge are also confirmed as not working for Android Auto.
Google has not updated their support page to reflect this yet.

Hello,
thanks for the information.
Do you have a list which devices are supported? Is the HTC One M8 supported?
Thanks!

Try enabling USB Debugging under the Developer Options in your phone Settings.

I don't have a list of supported devices. I can only confirm devices which I have personally tested or have seend as confirmed through Android online sites.
HTC One M8 on AT&T works fine with Android Auto.
If you are having problems, please make sure you are on the latest Google Play Services, 7.3.29 (1866531-xxx) (7329448) for Android 5.0+ (Lollipop, API 21).

Support added for Samsung.

With the new Google play services patch, support for many of Samsung devices has been added. Don't know about S5 since it's an older phone but I know the S6 and s6 edge are now fully supported.

I have moved on from the Verizon S5 to the Verizon s6. However even with the up date to Google Play Service 7.3.29 (1866531-440) still did not solve my problem with AA working. Has anyone else had the same issue with the Verizon S6?

Also only the Samsung MHL/HDMI 2.0 adapter will work on S5. NOT the pioneer one.

Samsung S6 would work now, but "not available in your country" (Germany). With the Nexus 5 it works fine in the same country
Any idea?

VR headset

Hi,
does some use VR headset with elephone s8? Any recommendations?

me but im still figuring it out

I don't know if the google daydream or the samsung gear can be tricked into working with an elephone s8, but this seems like it ought to work all right. Anyway it's cheap ...

I'm using the "virtoba x6", which is essentially a "BOBOVR Z5".

[Q] Note 9 DeX port to older devices?

Is there a ported version of DeX for older devices?
My sister has a Galaxy Note 4, which has a TV connector (it was called MHL). She often used multi window on a PC monitor.
But is there a way to get the real Note 9 DeX on a Note 4 or some older devices?

Having a S8 or above still plausible, but I think Samsung won't give dex capabilities to phone older than that...

Maybe not Samsung, but is there a modification?

First things first, said device need to have at least a MHL output compability.. That is a technology that enables phone screen mirroring through the micro-USB cable. Bear in mind that this is a hardware issue, so if the phone is not made with MHL in mind, we are unable to do more..
If the phone have that compability, I heard that sentio desktop (can search in Playstore) offers dex-like experience.. Personally, I never use it, so I can't say much about it...
