Is it possible to use lets say a Lenovo USB-C docking for the S10?
No it's not
I use the HP G4 dock with my S9. I would assume it would work for the S10. I hope it does, because I will be upgrading this week.

Dident work with the Lenovo docks at work. No signals to displays...
Buuuut...now that I think about it, i dont think it had any monitor on the HDMI output. Only on DP and VGA I think. Might try again tomorrow with something on the HDMI.

BTW. Does it charge with the G4 dock?
Yes it charges, has ethernet, displays, and works with my keyboard and mouse. Sound works from the dock, but not through HDMI.

Everything works as it should with HDMI plugged in. Charging and sound to :good:
Yes, any sort of USB-C dock with HDMI out should work no problem.
i use this one : https://www.amazon.fr/gp/product/B07919ZNB4/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
And Its works !
its a Hub too so you can plug a mouse and keyboard but also a RJ45 that as been recognized by my S10+
and as you can see there is a USB-c PD port to charge your phone while you use it as Dex !
Lenovo USB-C HUB C109 model
Hi guys, I have HP G5 dock and woks fine only with FHD LCD. I use at home ultrawide monitors and both available ultrawide resolutions are in grey in settings. But works great as an USB-C power supply for DEX station :laugh:

Hi,
I just received an OEM Micro USB to HDMI adapter today.
I connected my Note to the adapter and then to the HDMI cable of my TV.
Unfortunately there is no HDMI signal on the TV side.
Now, I don't know howto activate TV output on the Note. I don't even know if that's possible.
Can anyone guide me on how to activate HDMI output on the Galaxy Note ?
Should I make any settings ?
Should I play a video ? (or would it give out video from HDMI even at home screen ?)
Should I power the phone and/or the HDMI adapter through USB ?
Thanks.

Connect HDMI cable to MHL adapter, and other end into TV. (duh...)
Plug your charger cable into the MHL adapter. (output won't work without this)
Plug your MHL adapter into Note. (no configuring required!)
Everything you do on your Note will be mirrored on your TV/Screen, at the Note's native 1280x800 resolution. Plain and simple!
Video's that are played via the MHL adapter will be played at their own native resolution, up to and including 1080p.
Enjoy!
thank you.
it doesn't work unfortunately.
maybe my adapter is not working but it passes power through USB.
how can I understand if it really doesn't pass HDMI ?

It's possible that you have a faulty adapter. It should just be plug and play, but you have to make sure that the adapter is receiving external USB power in order for it to work.
ok; it works now.
the micro USB connector was not fully connected...
thanks.
Similar issue
Hi, me to facing similar issue. The MHL adapter when connected does not show any notification on the screen. The only thing it does is charging the phone. Does it mean its a faulty adapter?
i hope i am answering my own question but still if there is anything which i may be missing here

and what rom and kernel are you on ?
I'm on stock running ICS and I get funky results, sometimes it works for a minute or two sometimes just a few seconds. The problem seems to be on the TV, a Sony Bravia, the HDMI setting has to be Wide for picture quality (it has zoom, smart zoom, wide, 16:9 and 4:3) but as soon as there is some glitch in receiving data from the phone the TV begins to scroll through those settings to regain a signal and I can't force a setting on wide for the HDMI connector, only for one of the SCART connectors.
The frustrating part is that it works flawlessly when I connect an Asus Transformer. Could it be the MHL's USB connector? If that is the case how can I check it?

Just in case anyone relooks this up.
Connect everything. Then REBOOT PHONE/NOTE. The TV will then detect it auto.
Hope this helps someone !!
It didnt help me... my sony bravia 32" tv just wont show the gnote's video. the same adapter works fine on my samsung 32" tv but not on the sony. I have even upgarded the sony tv's firmware too. tried changing to "Wide Zoom" settings and other things but still no video showing, although the tv does know there is something plugged in to HDMI port 1.
Anyone else got ideas?

mhl n7000 camera not starting when connected
hi sorry for posting after 4 years on this thread. is the camera or camera using apps (like skype) working for anyone when the phone is coonected and displaying through mhl to tv? because whenever i try to use camera when i am connected it is not working. on stock 4.1.2. thank you
I bought a type c to HDMI cable, hoping it would work with my TV Unfortunately it didnt, anyone know another way round this or if elephone are going to get a set up for this as I'm really wanting to watch the phone 4g access through my TV (not casting) as I've no phone line so no wifi, or access to one!!!!!???
Screen mirroring or Miracast will be your only option. You can also set up a hotspot if your smart tv is Wifi compatible. Alot of new phones have no MHL compatibility.
You can use chromecast with localcast app for media on your phone or stream off 4g using chromecast compatible apps without mirroring. It works with personal hotspot but you need a second phone to do the initial chromecast setup.
You can use a DisplayLink USB graphics adaptor and the DisplayLink app from the Google app store. It works for me.
I also can use a Dell D3100 docking station, for HDMI output, and keyboard _ mouse input.

What rom did you use and what DisplayLink USB graphics was that? I tried my own one, but it kind of didn't wanted to work.
Also, I'm really curious: Did the D3100 charge your phone while being used with stuff connected to the dock?

Currently the P9000 does not use the Dock audio output, nor the audio on my plugable USB3-HDMI-DVI adaptor.
I don't know if it used to to audio before the latest firmware.

I have also used this device with much success, with Dell Android Tablet, Windows laptops, Motorola Moto-G: http://plugable.com/products/usb3-hdmi-dvi/
It "works" with P9000 but currently is not passing audio over HDMI. I can't remember if I ever had that working on earlier firmware.
Huawei P20 Pro EMUI Desktop mode & Dell D6000 dock - USB keyboard and mouse wont work
I have a Huawei P20 Pro and a Dell D6000 USB-C dock, which comes with HDMI, 2 x displayport, Ethernet and multiple USB3.0 ports. I find when I plug my phone in to the D6000 dock the following happens:
- It comes up "fast charging" (not "super charging" like it does with the Huawei native charger plug). It is great that it supports more than base USB charging however!
- The desktop comes up successfully on the HDMI port only (not the displayport ports) in 1080p, the native resolution of my monitor. The video is clean and stable, even watching Youtube videos in 1080p
- The USB ports appear to be non-functional - I cannot get a keyboard or mouse to work which is the most pressing issue.
- The Ethernet port appears to do nothing, so I have to use Wifi.
I also have a Dell DA200 USB-C to HDMI/VGA/USB/Ethernet adaptor - this works fine with my USB keyboard and mouse with either an HDMI or VGA monitor in native resolution, but of course it cant charge the phone. The Ethernet port is also unusable.
Finally, I have a USB-C to Displayport adaptor - this works with either a DVI-D and VGA adaptor plugged into the end, but it doesn't have USB or power.
Desktop mode on my phone appears to be quite heavy and will run the phone from 100% to flat in about an hour - so it isn't really a sustainable solution without power. If Huawei could do something in the OS to make it work natively with a Dell D6000 dock, including Ethernet, USB, Displayport multi-monitor, etc, that would be fantastic. I wouldn't need a Windows machine - this thing is pretty much as good!
Ideas anyone?

I connected both and they did not work on desktop mode, they control the phone side.
I am using a Tuwejia adapter from Amazon and am currently using a USB keyboard and USB mouse. The keyboard is an old Dell keyboard, I think 12 years old, and it is the big one with volume buttons on top along with two extra USB ports in the back. I have the mouse attached to one of the USB ports on the keyboard so I'm only using one USB port on the adapter. Phone never goes below 100% and it went from 96% to 100% within 10 minutes even though I was using it as a computer at the same time, hooked up to the big 4K montior via HDMI (but it still shows at 1080p). Keyboard and mouse both work on desktop mode and phone side.
All i found yet is that the Dock have to be USB-C 3.1
I Plan to buy the P20 Pro in October and also looking for an Dock with USB Hub, Ethernet, HDMI/VGA to use it als PC with an VNC like Client.

Has anyone used their Note 9 and the new dex? I can see why people would use it but does anyone really use it as a daily driver?
I'm using DeX as a main driver for productivity, but I'm not using Samsung's DeX station...
Also using Dex daily. At work using a 1st gen dock, at home a 3rd party usb hub.
It's great to replace my laptop. My only grief is not being able to open multiple instances of excel

Nope, I'm using a 3rd party one
Me too, Just the USB-C to HDMI adaptor but I got it for Around $10Aud...
I have the Dex pad and Station too but this is so much more mobile, no additional power needed... Just a Bluetooth Mouse and Keyboard...
Not sure how fast it will eat up the battery though....
So I want to connect my Razer mouse and keyboard currently connected to my main PC and monitor to my Note 9 when Dex'd via cable. I know i'll need a hub of some sort, so wanted some expertise on which hub to get, but also wanting to know the best way to set this up minimally.
Also looking at different Dex options for my note 9. already have a usb-C - HDMI adaptor that aslo has a usb-pass through power - (to charge the phone) - but no keyboard\mouse options as yet.
Without hijacking your thread, For me there are two requirements
1) Portable setup, simple hdmi dongle and small portalbe tablet bluetooth keyboard\mouse~ glide pad in built.
2) Permenant setup - like the new Dex Pad (or 3rd party - as Dex Pad doesnt have USB 3).
Sounds like your chasing more of #2 - but what I am wondering is do you want you razor keyboard and mouse to both permanently and always function connected to your PC - and have some kind of double adaptor\hub setup - that if you "do" plug in your Dex Phone - then without moving\unlplugging you K&B - they still work both on the PC and Dex at the same time? Is that right? Share 1 x K&M across both Dex and PC at the same time?
OR
When you plug in the dex - it "switches" all input fully over to dex [only]? cause I am not sure how if you type on the Keyboard its not going to send to both PC and DEX apps if its just on some kind of shared hub etc.

Thats interesting idea, I think thou you would get input being sent to 'both' devices - so your typing into a spreadsheet on Excel via DEX, and your regular PC is also getting the same character input \ mouse movements sent to it - if it even worked via some kinda hub.

i think those kind of setup can be achieved with bluetooth keyboard and mouse that supports multiple device switch. for example, I'm using my logitech T630 as a mouse for both of them, and just switch if I want to use it on another device.

Does not compute. I don't think that is possible. The best you can do is probably get Logitech equipment and switch out the unified receiver from computer to Dex. I will be testing to see if that works for me.

There are plenty of C-HDMI that do 4K at 60Hz, same as the official Samsung one that was just released.

I believe all 3 do 4k at 60hz.
The Samsung Dex pad/station do and the 3rd party adaptor is advertised as 4k 60hz and I can't see much difference between the Samsung products and the 3rd party cable...

Not seeing much difference does not guarantee anything. Buying the Samsung stuff guarantees compatibility. And damn, Samsung's cable is expensive, especially straight from them. I am sure price will come down but that is high. I'm glad I got the DEX pad though. Would've been nice to keep the Ethernet port but that takes up bandwidth.
Dex is good though. Surprisingly good. I tried it yesterday and I think I mentioned this before it is like a mini windows 7 with an android overlay. I thought for sure there would be noticeable latency but NOPE! it's good. I have a really nice laptop. The DEX pad is auxiliary and light weight. I have a Logitech unifying receiver with accompanying keyboard and mouse. Put a thumb drive on the second USB port and get a nice high quality lifestyle looking extension cord and you have a very gratifying portable desktop experience. I for sure will be using Dex to back up my phone to thumb drive and then back up from thumb drive to laptop. I'd rather not hook my phone up to my laptop when I don't have to.
Anybody have one of those Asus monitors that is powered by USB? I think the cheaper one is about $125. I wonder how good it looks and what the minimum power requirement are for the monitor. I doubt 5v at 500ma or 900ma which are USB 2 and 3 specs are applicable to the monitor. Even so I wonder if the Anker battery packs can power it. Asus monitor, 2 or 3 Anker battery packs, DEX pad with thumb drive and keyboard and mouse and you're good to go probably 2-3h 8h workdays without plugging into a socket.
What resolution are able to get via dex? I cant use the 2560x1440 - only 1920 x 1080.
Does the Dex Pad or station get better resolution?
Hi All
I'm moving over from a P20 Pro and can't seem to get my USB Type-C HDMI/VGA adaptor to work. I'd like to mirror the screen to a PC monitor which has both HDMI and VGA inputs.
Any comments gratefully received....

You can't use any USB-C to HDMI adaptor. Mi9 has no support for it.
Hi @davfiala
Thanks for your reply. I've bought a wireless->HDMI adaptor from fleabay so will test that when it comes.
Cheers
Steve
Chromecast or similar would work
Thanks @rajanm1
According to the ad, it supports EZCast, DLNA, Miracast, EZAir (Airplay)
I'll post up when it arrives.

Hi All
The wireless adaptor arrived today and it works just fine using MiraCast. I bought it from fleabay for just under £7.00 and it looks like the attached pic.
The instructions were in Chinglish and the text was 3 point in size, so I found this excellent guide:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=edUZOL89ihY
If you want one, just search on fleabay for AnyCast.
To cast your screen, go to Settings->More->Wireless Display.
What I really wanted was a landscape camera for my LCD monitor, but the stock app doesn't rotate the camera so it's always portrait which is the same as the P20 Pro :crying:. Open Camera works well in this case.
So I just need 48MP RAW for 3rd party apps and bob's yer uncle
Cheers
Steve
A quick update on this. My LCD monitors are pretty old and only have DVI and VGA inputs. They work fine with my laptop and a HDMI->DVI adaptor but the Anycast dongle doesn't work at all. After a bit of googling I found out that there are DVD-I and DVD-D standards. DVI-D is a digital standard and DVI-I is digital and anaolog. I bought a DVI-I adaptor but still no joy.
The fix was to buy a HDMI->VGA adaptor and a female->female HDMI gender changer. This works great and is powered from the HDMI port.
So now I can cast the Mi9 to any LCD monitor
So the setup is AnyCast dongle -> gender changer -> HDMI/VGA.
For info, the HDMI->VGA I bought was like the attached
wish xiaomi would stop cheaping where they shouldn't . hdmi over usb-c would not have costed them much to implement. they want to be in 2019, but still use 90s tactics

Hi sorry I don't have the setup any more, but it's really simple.
The Anycast USB plugs into your phone via a USB-A->USB->C adaptor.
The AnyCast HDMI cable plugs into the HDMI gender changer
The HDMI gender changer plugs into the HDMI->VGA adaptor
The VGA plugs into your monitor
Hope that helps
