Dears,
As I've lost my dex cable that came with the phone I've been researching online and it says that the 2017 dex station works with the note 9 snapdragon is that true? As I was already looking for a solution to charge the phone while using dex this would be perfect.... Any performance issues I should know about? Or any other better solutions to using dex and charging?
Any help would be appreciated
I do not know which model it is and I can't check right now but the DeX I bought with my Note8 works just fine with my Note9 Snapdragon.
So far I've used two el-cheapo 3rd party USB-C "hubs" (with HDMI out and USB-C power in), both have charged the phone through that HUB. (That is, if no external power is connected, the HUB and devices get power from the phone, but if charger is connected to the HUB, phone switches from power supplier to power receiver.) So, I think the charging through the HUB -part should be ok with almost anything (as long as that anything follows the standards properly).
I have no experience on the official DEX things. (Too big for my tastes.)

The Dex Statiom (2017) that was introduced with the Note 8 works just fine with the Note 9. But for roughly the same price, you can get the upgraded Dex Pad (2018) that was made for the Note 9 (but also works with the Note 8 and the S9/+. They can be bought brand new or like new at $40-50 on eBay all day long. It's where I got mine.
Or you can buy a $16 Choetech USB C to HDMI cable and it will activate Dex and/or screen mirroring just like the Samsung cable.
I have the dex station (flip top stand) and it works with with the note 9 no problem and charges the phone.

Heads up the Philips AS140 sound dock will not charge the Nexus 7 while docked. I called their tech support and they said that I had a faulty dock and they shipped me a brand new one. I updated the firmware on the replacement sounddock when it arrived and connected my Nexus 7 to the dock.... Still no charge while connected. Bluetooth functionality work great.
I have the same issue with my phillips dock. No idea what the cause is as to why it won't charge the Nexus 7 but it's frustrating
At a guess the socket/adaptor is not configured for high power devices like tablets that need the data pins to be shorted.
Same issue
Have the same issue with Samsung Note 4. My samsung Note 3 charges just fine, but the Note 4 wont ever recognize it. I read on another post that the Note 4 uses 2.4 amps and the Note 3 used 2.1 amps... So maybe it just isnt the right juice for it to recognize it, but it seems like it should at least recognize that its trying to put juice in it.
I went ahead and purchased the DEX for my Note 9. I have the ZeroLemon 10,000 mAh case and I also purchased an extender cable because the male plug on the DEX will not reach the female end of the ZeroLemon case, fully. I then went ahead and purchased an extender. While the extender does "kind of" work without the case, it will not work with it. Without the case, it works, but it shorts out a lot by just tapping the wire.
Not sure if this has anything to do w/ it, but with the ZeroLemon case on, I'm able to use the Samsung cable and connect to my Windows PC and transfer files. I've tested at least one third party cable, which does not work in this instance. I'm therefore assuming that DEX should work with the right cable.
Any thoughts on this? Or has ZeroLemon come out and specifically said DEX is not supported?
ive 3 zerolemon cases (cuz I have 3 note 9s) and i also have the current dex model for the note 9.
the zerolemon case does NOT PASS THRU data so dex will not work. had I known this i would not have purchased the case for the spare note 9 i use solely for dex. i also could not get any files to pass through the case, but i was using the charger cable that came with the galaxy 360 camera and not the stock sammy one. perhaps I should go try again since you were able to pass files....

I'm wondering if one can get a modded Samsung USB Type C cable to get DEX to work on the ZeroLemon. I don't have the skills to mod cables. I could not find a Samsung Female to Male USB Type C adapter/cable. Maybe there's something special about the connecting pins with Samsung cables? Again, I would "think" that DEX could work if file transfer works. I seem to remember from my old phone something about an extra PIN in the connector. Not sure if this was from the Note 4 or even before that....The DROID RAZR MAXX (which is Motorola, not Samsung). It's worth some investigating. I purchased two other adapters, they should arrive by Wednesday. I'll report my findings.
So Far, Not Compatible
I had purchased three different Female to Male adapters/cables for my Samsung Dex Pad in hopes of seeing if The ZeroLemon 10,000 mAh battery case was compatible. Long story short, so far, it is not, and I give up on it for now. I may try the DEX cable, but I assume I'll have similar results. I was hoping to use the DEX pad so i wasn't limited to only 5 open windows.

I have confirmed that all three adapters/cables tested are not malfunctioning, by plugging them into my charger cable.
If anyone finds something that does work, please chime in.

DeX mode won't work while using the case, because the USB-C connection inside the battery case is not designed to output the data needed.. I assume it is not able to output video...

What about the case is it? Is there a missing pin in the connector? Does it have anything to do with the fact that the case doesn't support fast charging and therefore no DeX support or is there even a correlation there?
I'm looking at different hubs to allow the tablet to be displayed on a TV or monitor while also charging the tablet. Samsung's official adapter is pricey and a lot of the reviews I found say it doesn't charge the device it is hooked up to. Can anyone recommend a hub that works well with the Samsung Galaxy Tab S6?

Something I need cuz my TV doesn't do 'cast' very well, if at all.
There are some suggestions in the S4 forum that may also work on the S6.
I may get this one
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07J45WRVX/ref=ox_sc_act_title_3?smid=A19UZI6QRL56O2&psc=1
I ended up purchasing this one. It works and it's relatively cheap. It just doesn't have a USB A port for plugging in a mouse or flash drive. The tablet does charge while it is connected.

Hello everybody and happy new year!
My original super fast charger which came with the phone won't magnetically charge my note 20 ultra
with the charging cable which I used with my Samsung note 8. I already ordered new pd 60w quality cables+new pd magnetic adapters.
Since I did not find any information -Do I have to buy new magnetic tips (which are stuck in the phone) or can I use the same tip which I used with my note 8? Are there any differences between tips?
Thanks for your help.
Eran
P.S - I am using my Samsung note 8 charger with the magnetic cable adapter in the mean time. The only problem is the slower charge....
If the previous setup didn't work for the new phone, you'll need the new tips too, most likely.
However, especially at the 25W fast charging speeds of the phone, I'd recommend you steer far, far away from magnetic chargers. Sure, it sounds like a nice idea, reducing the stress on the USB port, easy tear-away charging, and so on, but since most of these chargers are incredibly low quality, with bad contacts, you can expect a lot of loss, which manifests in the shape of heat. I remember with my Note8 I did the same, and the phone would get uncomfortably hot - and that was only 15W. Imagine what 25W would do.
The only magnetic chargers I trust are the ones specifically made and tested for the device - e.g. Apple's (old) MagSafe on MacBooks. And even those had heating issues.

The super faster charger doesnt play nice with alot devices iv come to find. I had an issue using a 2 in 1 charger/ aux adapter. The charger kept connecting and disconnecting. It seems to be some thing special to that brick specifically. Especially since its a 45w charger and I tried a ravpower 45w charger and it did not super fast charge my phone. Soo, yea. Super fast charging will only happen by way of samsungs official charger... which doesnt like alot other add-on devices (dongles, magnetic tips, ect).

Wow I'm glad you found a cable. I find android auto via the cable notoriously unreliable. Didn't matter if it's the original cable or 3rd party, braided, unbraided, short, long.. whatever. At some point for no apparent reason the cable seems tonfsil, and if you are using gps it stops going through to the car, and yes I have missed a junction or two! My car is new, and I believe the problem is unrelated to either the s21 or the car or the cable. It's a software issue.
FWIW, we've had good luck with cables that convert to a magnetic connector (we've used WSKEN branded stuff from a couple vendors via amazon since our Galaxy S8, for years. Currently working fine with our S21+. I'd give a link but the ones we have are old enough they've been replaced on the market. The magnetic breakaway is nice to have to ensure we never stress the usb-c connector on the phone.
i actually managed to work one in to the D-Dock I got for my GTI such that I can just slide my phone in and the magnets pull the connector on, and it all works. My wife has a RAM mount for her phone and the cable hangs off the bottom and never drops off - the magnet is just about string enough to pick up the phone by itself so holding the cable on is easy.
