[Q] screen cast P9 Plus

Hi,
I search a way to cast my screen on TV.
I found that a USB C to HDMI cable won't work on P9 Plus, is it true ?
Also it appears that the P9 Plus isn't miracast certified ?
Does someone know what is the protocol behind MirrorShare ? Do I need to buy an HDMI adapter ?
I know I can use a Chromecast but I would prefer offline (like a cable or wifi direct) solution for travel

I'm having the same issues with P9 Plus. I think there are new USB-C Hubs with HDMI output. Have not used them yet as they seemed to be meant for MacBooks.

OnePlus 3T out video to monitor via hdmi

I want to connect a 27 inch monitor or projector.
From the official support says (ticket #770598, from Sky) that phone 3T supports out video via HDMI
I understand that you wanted to know if OnePlus 3T supporte USB to HDMI. I can provide you with the information that you needed.
I would like to inform you that OnePlus 3T supports HDMI as long as it is connected to the OTG cable/ converter.

Phone have usb type c version 2.
My questions:
1. This phone is really support hdmi alt mode? I don't see the image HDMI (or DisplayPort or Thunderbolt) alternat mode on the box.
2. If (1) is true. Any cable good for me? Ex. usb type c multiport adapter from apple store or necessarily with OTG?
3. How big is the latency video of through miracast (ex. ezcast)? If connect mouse and watch on cursor movement.

I tried this yesterday with a USB C to Hdmi adapter I got off Amazon and I had no luck connecting to the monitor.

Thans for the reply
I think they sold me a dud
Phone not supports MHL and other alt. mode

II wonder if a driver could be put into a ROM to support it via USB OTG since it doesn't support MHL?
I have an old external sound card, a Creative Xmod, that works perfectly with my roommates USB C, OTG adaptor.

I think because it is not implemented in hardware in the phone

If I'm correct Display Port alternate output requires USB Type-C 3.1 since the phone supports only 2.0 it shouldn't work. However not many phones utilise this feature even Google Pixel doesn't use this mode

Video out works fine on the 3T but only with Displaylink adapters. (So far anyway)
I have one and can confirm it definitely works either via HDMI or HDMI to DVI (I've tried both)
I used this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N40RQV4/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
but any displaylink adapter or dock will work. (Make sure it very specifically says dispaylink, check the displaylink website if you aren't sure)
The only note is that displaylink says the Ethernet ports on the docks do not work with android.
(I suspect they might work on devices that support a regular Ethernet adapter though, I haven't been able to get a normal Ethernet adapter working on my oneplus 3t though for what that's worth.)
you will also need the displaylink app from the playstore though it does not have to be running.
if any of you have experience using an external Audio DAC with USB Audioplayer pro the process is very similar.
Once you plug the monitor in, a pop up will ask if you want to let the displaylink app control the adapter and if you hit "ok" it does the rest automatically.

Does the phone charge while connected to the DisplayLink adapter?

Just try with Chromecast or anything else with Mirascreen option

Does it work with Anker Premium USB-C Mini-Dock
Hi there everybody:
Have anyone tried to connect a dock like the Anker Premium USB-C Mini-Dock, Does OP3T work for charge and to view the USB ports of the dock? May be HDMI and Ethernet doesn't work but for me the matter is the chargue and the USB ports to connect an external DAC, a microsd and a pendrive. Regards.

USB-C to HDMI?

Has anyone tried a USB-C to HDMI lead on the Nokia 8?
Does it work? And if it does which lead are you using.

Did you find the answer already?
I'm wondering about that too...

Anyone? :fingers-crossed:

I used my Macbook Pro dock, it worked.

So glad that it is supported on this device. Many vendors are killing this feature for some reason.
It's a pain in the a** to check if a new device has it nowdays.
Thank you!! :good:

Well, we don't all have Macbook Pro docks so does it work without that?
I bought a USB-C to HDMI cable today but I can't get it to work – are there any settings (or apps?) that I'd need to change/install to get this to work?
I just want to be able to plug my phone into a TV and play videos when I'm in hotels or away from home etc.
I'm new to both Android and the Nokia 8 so maybe I'm just missing something that's obvious?
(The most annoying thing is that it works perfectly on my old Nokia Lumia 950XL Windows Phone.)

Still didn't get the phone yet...
From what I know the native support works with USB-C portable adapters with a HDMI port. Don't know about the cable ones.
I have this, https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01EZTRI42/, and it's working well with the native support of the HTC U11, still don't know about Nokia 8 though

I've contacted Nokia customer care and that's their official answer regarding this matter:
"Thank you for contacting Nokia Mobile Care!
We would like to inform you that the Nokia 8 does not support video out through the USB type C neither the HDMI. If you want to connect the phone to the TV please try to buy the chromecast to cast the device to the TV.
We hope that the above information is useful for you! If not, or if you have another question, please feel free to contact us again.
Best regards,
Nokia Mobile Care "
Are you sure that the Nokia 8 can cast its screen though a macbook pro dock to an external display through HDMI @Luhccas-X10 ?

I have a dodcool usb c hub and hdmi does not work on 8.1

I got my Nokia 8 today and tried a USB-C to HDMI cable I used on my old HTC U11 and unfortunately it does not work.
I'm very much doubting that the Nokia 8 has this ability.

Well today I tried a macbook dock and no joy, seems pretty conclusive that it doesnt work

I'm pleased to confirm that Displaylink works with Nokia 8! I used this one: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01B5RN9ZY/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
In theory any Displaylink hub or cable should work, note that you need to connect to the phone via a USB host cable e.g. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01GKS2HCE/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
This should work on most devices with a USB port, for me it works on my Kindle HD and Laptop too should its a useful thing to have anyway.
I got the info from a thread for the OnePlus 5T so more info in there:

Well, very odd!
I tried a Displaylink-based hub myself with a Nokia 8 and it didn't work for me just like the regular adapters (which all of them, including the Displaylink one, worked with my HTC U11).
So, please elaborate about what you did. Is it a plug & play process? Did you do anything special to make it work for you?
By the way, I tried it with this Dell hub (which is Displaylink based on http://www.displaylink.com/products/find?vid_hdmi=1):
http://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/acce...note_bnrank=0&baynote_irrank=1&~ck=dellSearch

So firstly you need to have the displaylink app installed on your phone, apart from that you should just have to plug it in - the app will then prompt you to start showing your screen which you say OK to and that's it.
However... I found that the vast majority of the time it just simply doesn't work. Every time the device has a notification to say a device it connected and drawing power but very rarely will the displaylink actually work. I literally had to connect and disconnect the device around 100 times on some attempts before it works, sometimes fewer but the weird thing is once its connected and working, I can remove it and plug it back in and it will work straight away.
Its a really strange issue which I don't understand, it cant be the cable as it works consistently but only after getting it to work that first time. I'm thinking there may be a bug with the 8.1 firmware as another forum mentioned the maximum charge amp is reduced in 8.1. Another forum mentioned that on the Xperia XZ Premium display link only works with external power to the displaylink hub so perhaps its drawing to draw too much power and its just a fluke that it occasionally will work. Unfortunately I tried to connect external power to my hub and blew it so I can't test any further
I've tried the same setup on a Galaxy S7 Edge and that worked every time, no issue so it must be something strange with the device OR the adaptor used to convert the displaylink hub from USB to USB C.

You fraud. I bought my Nokia 8 on the basis of your post. Because you decided to post this BS, and then made a prompt exit from this thread.
Now I am stuck with it. With this phone and with no ability to hook it up to my projector without unacceptable levels of latency through Chromecast or some such.
I even wasted money on this USB-C to HDMI cable (Thunderbolt 3 compatible), that doesn't work.
My only hope now is this DisplayLink setup. Any more news on it?

I messaged LUHCCAS and they said this is what they used: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/USB...a741666&transAbTest=ae803_4&priceBeautifyAB=0
Although they didn't specify which. None of them say they use displayport but I guess its possible, if so then perhaps they are not a fraud.
I have ordered a new displaylink hub so I will let you know if that works more consistently than the other one I tried.

Sounds good, please update the thread if you get the Hub. I want to use the Nokia with my Car Radio via HDMI (Appradio Unchained)

Displaylink adapter support
I'm happy to confirm that I managed to get the Nokia 8 connected to a TV using a DisplayLink adapter. :victory:
It's working pretty good (both image and sound) as long as the DisplayLink presenter app is installed.
From the first couple of minutes with it I didn't experience any issues that @jamhtcman mentioned and it's working very well at any time that I plug in the adapter to the phone (without an external power source).
Link to the adapter that I'm using:
- Link is broken -
Side note: You'll need to buy a separated USB 3.0 to USB-C OTG cable because the adapter in the box is too thick for most of the cases

Oh, and by the way, the hub that I've tested on my quoted post from before wasn't a DisplayLink hub after all. Hence, it didn't work.

Awesome news, awesome :good:
BTW does it charge your phone while your phone is plugged in?
Also this is probably a bit of a specific question to pose; but by any chance have you checked whether the phone outputs just 2-channels of sound (stereo) through the displaylink adapter, or does it output however many are in the source material (e.g. 5.1 channels if you play a video file with a 5.1. surround sound audio track).

No option to charge the phone while casting I'm afraid.
Moreover, I can't tell about the sound cause I don't have any TV and AVR that supports 5.1 channels sound though an hdmi port.

WIRED TV out for Huawei Mate 10 lite (MHL or Slimport?)

Hello!
Has anyone tried any MHL or Slimport adaptors in this device for wired connection to a HD TV!?
I currently have an RNE-L23 and I am willing to purchase one of this but Im not sure if they'll work.
Thanks in advance.

im pretty sure these standards dont exist in usb type c adapters, any usb c to hdmi adapter should work fine, maybe look at something that is compatible with dex

Why do you focus on MHL ? I bought an affordable USB-C hub (20e), I so far only tested it on a VGA monitor with an adapter. Everything was fine. That's great a smartphone less expensive than Samsung Dex ones offers such feature.

Hello! i do not mind what kind of tech is. I just want to know if the Mate 10 lite can be connected to a HDTV using any wire or dock so I do not have to buy a TV Box for my Kodi.

It would be nice to know which ones work on the Mate 10 Pro.
I ordered one from Amazon UK, this wants to work (I see the Desktop Mode) starting up on the TV but then it loses signal and starts searching for a signal. I see the output on the screen for a fraction of a second and then it goes blank again and starts searching for Video Signal.
The one I bought was this (Which is going to have to be returned): Amazon £9.99 USB C Hub with HDMI

Do you mean to plug phone into tv? Usb c to HDMI cable works but can't charge at same time
No need for a hub

Hi, I have the same question but Huawei Mate 10 Lite don't have USB type C, it has MicroUsb.

Bought a Y cable, with USB c on one side and HDMI and USB A on the other and the phone can be charged in desktop mode.

I have a usb-c dock (amazon) and a usb-c to HDMI wire. I can charge at the same time the phone and I can use usb mouse and keyboard too.

It was less than 7 euro, btw.

Lite version might not have Desktop mode or USB TV-out at all.

Displayport USB-C

Hi
Does any one know / tried to connect the Mi8 to an external display using a type-c adapter, does the hardware supports it?
I tried to ask xaiomi themselves and got a confused reaction lol
Thanks in advance!

Just tried and doesn´t work

Wont work because the usb c port is not usb 3.1

Xiaomi didn't include the USB-C Alt-Mode
The only possibility you have is to use "DisplayLink". You will need an app from play store and a special cable (USB to HDMI with DisplayLink chipset + USB-C to USB-A adapter)

Do you know the name of the cable or where to buy it?
I'm came here now to ask about the adapter and found this thread kkk.

You can just look here: http://www.displaylink.com/
And you can just look on Amazon (search for displaylink) and look if the cable you want have one of these chipsets: http://www.displaylink.com/integrated-chipsets
I never tried it with display link only read about it.
Additionally you need this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.displaylink.presenter

Hi, thanks for the answers, if anyone is planning to buy that sort of cable and use it - can you please share results....please!!!
i'm looking for a way to work with my Mi8 as a sort of android PC by connecting it to a PC screen and hooking it with mouse and keyboard
the alternative way to display-link as written above - is to work with Chromecast, I tried that but for some reason the screen casting is not 100% full screen
i'm sure the reason is that the Mi8 is not 16:9 like my PC screen but still....it doesn't look OK
I don't know what to do....
