Hi,
I really miss the ir blaster from my note 4.
I've seen different external IR blasters that one can plug into the headphone Jack, or the USB C port. But I don't know if they work on the Note8. I've seen it working on a S8 on YouTube, but Samsung may have disabled something specifically on the Note8 that would prevent the external IR blasters to work. For instance, I've read the Note8 only supports OTG through that chunky USB C to USB adapter Samsung put in the Note8 box.
Please, if you have tested a IR blaster on the Note8 (not on other devices) comment about it, giving the model/brand you use, so that I and others like me know what we should buy.
Just for information, I'm on stock rom, not rooted, international Note8.
Thank you very much in advance for helping this noob that I am.

Hi, you can even make one that has both transmitter and receiver functions and it runs off the earphone jack. Otg is available with ith micro USB too just use a convertor for micro USB to type C.

Hello everyone!
I am creating this thread here in "Guides, News and Discussion" because surely it will be an discussion.
I was using my v30 for a long time until it broke and i had to buy new phone. I instantly bought v40 after some good reviews and my opinion about v30 and i didn't know that lg would make such a big downgrade for me when it comes to using HDMI cable (or display port) to put your phones screen to tv/monitors. It turns out that lg v40 is not supporting usb-c -> hdmi as v30 did BUT i saw some people managed to do it. And here is the main topic: How did they managed to do it, how could I/We do it and if it is possible, would I need to install a particular soft or root phone or what?
Sorry for my bad English, did my best.
I will wait for your opinion about this guys because i am not experienced about custom softs etc(which maybe could fix hdmi possibility).
Thanks in advance for replaying,
Teslalgm
I have a V405EBW, i just plugged in the same adapter as on my V30 (H930) and it worked, on stock and on LOS16/17 (on the V40)
Adapter is from USB C -> USB3.0+HDMI+Type-C (last for charging only)

I have to make an update, because as you said, it can work. Here is why i thought it isn't working on every v40 after last updates:
I bought 5 different adapters that converts usb c on the v40 to hdmi or display ports. Every single day i was receiving new adapter after previous didn't work I was also plugging in my old V30.
The thing is, after i tried 4 different adapters which every one worked with v30 and didn't work with v40 i thought that it's just some kind of version of my phone that can't support it.
The next day after failure when i was supposed to send my V40 back (14 days to give back in my country) i got my 5th adapter which actually worked.
I think that it's because V30 uses a newer version of usb c (1.4b) and the v40 uses 1.0 which i think caused the problem even when LG gave us an software possibility of this connection.
If anyone want to know which adapter worked for me and which didn't just write down here so i will answer to all of you with pictures and links to shops with those adapters.
So yeah, V40 isn't that bad after all, it's a shame that it's not usb c 1.4 but still i give LG plus for adding the support in software.
EDIT.
Here is the adapter that worked for me, no company name, no logo, just random no-name adapter that saved my V40

That's weird. I've got a korean V40 and it has worked with 3 different usb-c dock / dongle that I tested it with. HDMI out works out of the box. Using it to play COD Mobile on a 32" screen.
I used a Dell DA-300, Dell WD-15, a Ugreen 6-in-1 mini dock. Only the DA-300 sucks as it can't charge the phone so battery dies really really fast. The other 2 have PD2.0 support so they can fast charge the phone while in use.
From what I gathered about the V40 and USB-C to HDMI out is that the US variant phones like the T-Mobile V40 supposedly support the actual Slimport implementation, but is disabled for some unknown stupid reason. Which is a shame because Slimport has zero lag or latency. Though, I'seen some people force the LG V40's USB-C 2.0 port to display through the (DP ALT-MODE) which is a derivative of Thunderbolt 3's video out codec. I've also seen video of the LG V40 working with adapters, but there was definitely noticeable lag. I've waited a while to upgrade my phone and really wanted the V40, and now there only $200 or less. I have the LG V20 and it has the Slimport video out capability on its USB-C 2.0 port. So I figured I could just use the V20 here at the house and just have the V40 for a daily driver. What bugs me is reading conflicting stories on the LG V40 and it having Slimport. I think its like the V20. it does have a USB-C 2.0 port and it has the Slimport capability, but its not enabled on the phone. Kind of how some variants of the V20's FM radio wasn't enabled but some did get it working through firmware or software mods. Then there others that say some of the international variants officially support Slimport. My only answer to this, is to call LG and find out 1nce and for all if the LG V40 has the Slimport capability or it just has that forced (DP ALT-MODE) display out. Soon as i find any more info or get my LG V40 and dig into its system files or the international variant's ROM, i'll post some more data that I get about this. Worst case, i'll just get the V50. it has a 4000mAh battery with the Vapor Chamber. It also has the SD855 and Adreno 640. Another thing about the V20, V30, V35 and V40 is the thermal.conf file which causes the phone to thermal throttle at 43c-53c. When I ROOTED my V20 and was able to run the SD821 clock frequency mod and have the Adreno 530 run full out with out throttling was a night and day difference. No more micro stutter, lag while surfing or dropped frames in gaming. Why would I upgrade to a phone that's just going to thermal throttle itself. Though, I think ROOT has been achieved on the Unlocked variant of the V40. Just wish the T-Mobile version had ROOT.
I have a Lg v40 TMo Variant, with the most recent update, I been able to usel ISB c Dock, for HDMI out, i tested a few, and word, some that didnt work before Android 9 Update

I wrote to the LG Serviceteam here in Germany, and they replied, that the LG V40 (LMV405EBW) does not support HDMI over USB C.

Works fine on mine (IMEI said destined for German market i think... or was it Netherlands where i got it from... not sure atm, those sites kinda broke) though. Worked with stock, and works now with Lineage.
This thread is fantastic news!
I get my V40 this week and am selling my V35.
Got sad for a sec when I heard V40 didn't support HDMI on a review.
Glad you all found a way to get it working
Hello, can someone try a USB-C to HDMI adapter with Red Magic 3S please ?
I know Red Magic 3 doesn't work with USB-C to HDMI adapters ( https://forum.xda-developers.com/red-magic-3/help/usb-c-to-hmdi-output-t3935662 ) but what about Red Magic 3S ? Did they fix this issue ?
Thank you
Actually tried this a couple days ago, no dice :/

@nabbed I know devices need to have USB 3.0 to allow HDMI over USB-C but official Red Magic specs website shows that Red Magic 3S (and Red Magic 3) have USB 3.0, gsmarena has tested Red Magic 3 port and it only has a USB 2.0 speed so Red Magic lied, and I wondered if they lied again with 3S and yes they do (and it seems they also lied about RM3 bundled charger speed in specs)

I don't think you understand how this works.
USB 3.0 has nothing to do with HDMI out. It's not in the specs of USB 3.0.
One only needs to have the hardware inside the phone to support the HMDI video out, which Red Magic never claimed to have. You have been duped by your own ignorance.
Also, if Nubia says that Red Magic supports 3.0, then it supports 3.0. No one lied. GSMARENA testers are idiots. Just look at their review. It's atrocious and is full of inaccuracies.

Wow, why so much hate ? Calm down pal, I'm just asking a question.
Firstly, video-out over USB-C has been released in september 2014 with USB 3.1 and is called Alternate Mode (USB 3.1 also adds Power Delivery options for 15 or 100Watts and 5 or 10Gbps for data transfer) so Alternate Mode/video out over USB-C doesn't work on USB-C with USB 2.0, check this USB-C compatibility table, you can also read this detailed "DisplayPort Alternate Mode for USB Type-C" explanation on anandtech if you want more information https://www.anandtech.com/show/8558/displayport-alternate-mode-for-usb-typec-announced
Secondly, around May 2019 Red Magic has sent a Red Magic 3 to a YouTuber called Drift0r, he has made a video review and at 16:26 he says that the biggest problem with this phone is that it has no USB-C to HDMI support but he did talk to Red Magic about it and they said that in an upcoming update that feature will be added, so yes Red Magic claimed they will add USB-C to HDMI support on their RM3 but that was in May 2019, now in 2020 and this feature has still not been added with last update neither on RM3S
https://youtu.be/fBJ1NV5JqkA?t=988
"if Nubia says that Red Magic supports 3.0, then it supports 3.0" There is no proof it has USB 3, if you have a proof show it here

I don't think there's hate here. But still bro, USB 3.0 or 3.1 doesn't necessarily mean that it will have video out hardware.
If that youtube man is correct and it's there, just disabled, then you need to talk to this man.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=9092064
He works for Nubia, and he has helped to deliver messages to Nubia engineers before. So perhaps he could help.

Smartphones requires 3 things to be compatible with USB-C to HDMI adapters :
1)You are right that smartphones need a video-out hardware, but you miss something, previously phone makers had to add a video-out hardware chip to the SOC to add video-out support (like a SlimPort or a MHL chip) but now video-out hardware comes directly in the SOC since Snapdragon 835, check this video from Mobile World Congress 2017 in DisplayPort booth https://youtu.be/ZWlkkM8SkDQ
2)But you can see that not all Snapdragon 835/845/855 smartphones are compatible with USB-C to HDMI adapters, what we can see is that ALL smartphones that are compatible with USB-C to HDMI adapters have USB 3, and there is NO smartphone at all with USB 2 and USB-C to HDMI support. So smartphones need the hardware (included since 835) but also USB 3 because DisplayPort Alternate Mode over USB-C uses USB 3 High Speed Data Path defined Pins on USB-C, not the USB 2 pins, so video-out is not possible with USB 2
3)The last thing needed is to just software activate the video-out support, 99% of smartphones with 835/845/855 and USB 3 have video out except very few like Google Pixels, they should all support video-out (at least from Pixel 2) but Google has intentionally software disabled video-out on them, a commit on Google Git has been found in the Android source code that disables video-out over USB-C in Pixel 4, see here https://www.androidpolice.com/2019/11/03/pixel-4-has-usb-video-output-disabled-in-software Also Sony Xperia XZ1 had video-out feature out of the box but then Sony released a software "update" that disabled video-out feature. On the opposite LG G7 had no video-out support out of the box but then LG software activated video-out with Android 9 software update.
Thank you for the link, I will send him a PM and hope he can help but again, as there is absolutely no phone with USB 2 that support video-out, if RM3/RM3S only have USB 2 it would not be possible to add video-out support just with software update because of hardware limitation

Droid Razr. USB 2 and HDMI out ? but I know that doesn't count.
Don't expect any changes for the 3S. Best you can hope for is stuff put on the next one. Soon as they launch a phone they no longer develop for it other then simple bug fix's and moving stuff from the CN ROM to the EU and NA ROMs. Give the illusion that they are working on it
I am very disappointed in the support for this phone. The Galaxy Note 10, effectively, was the same price as this one recently(albeit no dual sim), as well as the One Plus 7 Pro. Lesson learned for me. Stay away from gimmicky phones, regardless of the specs.

What seems to be your boggle?
Man if you can get the Note 10 for $475 or got one for even $599 and you picked the RM3S over the Note 10 I don't think the phone is the problem.
This phone is what it is. What you see is what you get. Don't buy it expecting any support or updates. It's not going to happen. Just be happy if it's functional. Nubia has proven to be absolutely unreliable on everything and will flat out lie about stuff. The RM3 and RM3S will never get an Android 10 ota. And they will also never get a security patch update. Time to just accept it. The one thing that could save it a dev community is all heading over to the ROG2. The most you can really hope for is they might port some stuff over from the CN to the global or NA. And even then I think they pretty much pulled the plug on that since they started working on there next device.
The support and update just won't ever come.

Agree, Red Magic 1 is still on Android 8 since 2018 and never received Android 9 update and Red Magic Mars, Red Magic 3 and Red Magic 3S are still on Android 9 and it seems they will not receive Android 10. Also, I don't expect neither RM3 or RM3S to get USB-C to HDMI support with an update, I believe what GSMArena says, they tested its port and the USB-C port is only a USB 2 but USB 3 is required for USB-C to HDMI support, maybe RM4 will come with HDMI out (it should be obvious to support it for a gaming phone)
Red Magic even shared on Twitter Drift0r's YouTube RM3S video review on which he says he has contacted Red Magic and they said to him that they will add HDMI out feature with next update and someone in the comments of the twitter post has wrote "USB C to HDMI is coming too. Nice. ", Red Magic didn't even react to this comment. https://twitter.com/redmagicgaming/status/1133009969962471424
Even now they shared a video of next Nubia Red Magic 5G with a "low latency" (very funny) wireless screencasting feature and a lot of people in the comments say it has latency anyway because of wireless. Red Magic seems to not care at all about what their customers want https://www.gsmarena.com/nubia_red_magic_5g_showcased_in_live_demo-news-41125.php
Lots of opinions in here. Just poking my head in to ask, does RedMagic6Pro support and if so, how? I got it to work on an old hdmi Sony TV and this "covert" dock (for my switch) and it works perfect on the switch but it's funky on here. Now if the rm6 has options to toggle it, where would I find it?
Magic OS is quite funky and I'm not a fan, but it does the job. But it's confusing and finding things can be difficult so I apologize if it's a simple answer I'm not seeing. Thank you!
Hello,
My mom purchased a Samsung S20 FE unlocked from the Samsung website, and we're having some trouble getting the audio going through the USB C adapter. The adapter that was purchased was this - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07VF6NSZZ This is the only one I could find on Samsung's website, and compared the part number to confirm it's the same item (EE-UC10JUWEGUS). However, plugging this device in only sometimes gets us the sound. The first one we purchased, there would be a big hissing sound when it worked, but most times it wouldn't work. The second one we purchased, there was a clicking sound and it would skip every other second in music.
I came across this reddit thread (https://www.reddit.com/r/Galaxy_S20/comments/ih0e7n/usbc_to_35mm_adapter_question_how_to_enable/) and confirmed that the option OP disabled, was not enabled on my moms phone. However, we still continued having the above problems.
Things we've tried -
testing both adapters with my note 8 and note 9 devices
using different three different headphones
I came across this other highly positively reviewed adapter, and I'm debating purchasing it - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07F2DTTGT/
Has anyone had this issue? Anything else I can try?
Hi ChinDChin, this one works for me:

I can also confirm that the adapter that came with my essential ph-1 works with my s20fe which makes me think you need one with a dac built into it

Correct. You need an adapter with a DAC.
I only found this out a couple of days ago, as my oneplus adapter wouldn't work.
This one works fine with my Verizon S20 FE 5g UW

What's going on 8T friends? I was hoping you guys might have some input and/or recommendations for a *GOOD* headphone dongle...one that has been tested to work without issue, specifically with this phone - the OnePlus 8T.
I want to start by apologizing for the super long-winded post!!! I also want to preface this by saying there is a possibility my issue may not lie w/ my current adapter, but possibly w/ my car's (old) aftermarket head unit...though I think it's unlikely given its never had an issue w/ any other phone or dongle.
*EDIT: I suppose it's also possible that there's some firmware issue & perhaps an update might resolve it, but I'm at the mercy of T-Mobile US & their *SLOW* update schedule. International phones have had like 4 updates in a month, & we've only had the day one update (still no AOD!).
I know it should be something super simple and there's likely many, *MANY* similar threads in other devices' forums, along w/ OnePlus Community & Reddit as well. But *please*, just hear me out. I feel like a dumb**s for even having to post this. There's crazy inconsistency w/ what's supposed to be a f***ing universal standard...this s**t is far from working universally!
I've had experience with 3 separate models of adapter w/ my previous phone, the OnePlus *7 Pro* (on Android 10). With the 7 Pro, I found that the Essential Phone's dongle worked flawlessly in every scenario I need it for. It's less expensive than the official Oneplus branded one, & generally just of better quality, w/ a thicker braided cable. I also had the official a OnePlus dongle which also worked perfectly w/ my old 7 Pro, but I lost the damn thing...plus, it's just too expensive, & OnePlus doesn't even have it in stock?!?! I also used the Apple dongle - surprisingly cheaper than OnePlus' dongle, but the volume level was permanently way too low, w/ no way to resolve that (I tried for nearly a month). The Apple one has long since been returned.
I am currently still using the Essential dongle as it's the only one I haven't yet lost or returned, but I'm running into a strange issue on both my phone & my girl's 8T as well (both are T-Mobile branded 8Ts, the "8T+5G", which is the exact same hardware the rest of the world gets, just w/ different firmware). The Essential dongle is flawless w/ the 7 Pro, & also flawless when just plugging it in to regular headphones - but when hooking it up to an aux cable & plugging it into our car's old, aftermarket head unit to play music or videos, there is a completely random/intermittent issue where whatever app is playing audio will pause itself, & then more often than not it'll also start making this crazy, strange, squealing distortion sound...but no longer any actual audio. This occurs regardless of what app we're using to play music or videos (YouTube Music, regular YouTube, Spotify, etc.). It seems to be totally random, sometimes working fine for a bit, but then going completely haywire...and once it's starts happening, it just won't quit. Sometimes switching to another app will start it, sometimes an incoming text message will start it, & sometimes it'll do it all by itself. This happens w/ USB OTG enabled or disabled, & I've tested it w/ 3 separate aux cables.
I'm at a loss, & I just wanted to get someone else's input before buying like 5 random ones of Amazon or eBay. We're at the point where we're just listening to old CDs because we can't stream anything current, & we're too broke to replace a head unit just to find that's not even the issue. *THIS IS ABSOLUTELY MADDENING*.
I would just buy the OnePlus dongle again, but they can't be bothered to keep it in inventory...at least for customers in the US. Any thoughts at all on what the issue could be would be infinitely appreciated, asking w/ dongle recommendations as well of course.
*THANK YOU FOR LISTENING TO ME RAMBLE!!!*

Thank you so much for your reply. I noticed you mentioned analog. Do you think the issue might be from the Essential one being active? That never occurred to me...I always assumed active ones would be better, instead of relying on the phone's DAC. You might be on to something there! Thanks again

I went to best buy and tested the Google and apple dongles. . The apple one sounded great but suffered from the low volume issue. The Google one sounded great and had no low volume issue. I kept that one. Returned the apple one.
It works flawlessly. Is $12. It also has a great Soundstage and volume. No problems here in anyway.
Also, just as a heads up, I use it with PowerAmp and it sounds great really. I have a lg v20 for when I want the best sound but this does the trick for when I'm just trying to not have a million peripherals.

Edit: @mingkee , I meant to reply to you here. My fault. XDA Labs kind of sucks.
I just wanted to let you know I pulled the trigger and bought a two pack of the Moto dongle you suggested off Amazon for less than $9...and you were right!!! So, many, many thanks to you kind sir/ma'am/whatever.
I've been in the car for half and hour trying to do anything I can to force that issue upon myself, and it just doesn't happen now! I really appreciate you!
My infinite appreciation to you. ?

You were right, they worked! I replied to you to explain my current (excellent) experience with the Moto dongle (in my previous post above), but replied to the wrong person/comment because of my user error and XDA Labs sucking on mobile. But seriously, thank you!!!

It's just a heads-up
Apple headset with lightning plug with Anker USB-C to lightning combo also works well with Poweramp custom output setting
Sound is distorted with default settings, but when you use the following settings, you will love this combo
DVC enabled
OpenSL Hi res having USB DAC enabled
Press the gear and bypass EQ
I wondered why I didn't purchase Poweramp license?

This is what I bought. I guess they are what Moto include, and not made my Moto (rarely are any of these made by the phone manufacturers I think). Just ordered another 2 pack after receiving the 1st LOL. They get lost easy enough. I've been pushing it, trying to force any of my previous issues and they've been working like a champ for me.

Note: analog ONLY
Both 8T and N10 are capable up to 24bit/384kHz with Poweramp both analog and digital out (digital adapter dependent)
I tested HTC adapter, Apple USB C audio adapter, Google USB C audio adapter, and Anker USB C to lightning audio adapter
All are capable 24bit/384kHz as well
Hello, I would like to ask, why with official original USBC to jack adapter is not listed 8T as compatible device?
OnePlus Type-C to 3.5mm Adapter
www.oneplus.com
I've tried very cheap premiumcord one and it's very noisy even without playing anything. So I would like to try original adapter, there isn't any different on oneplus site for 8 or 8T, why's that?
Thanks
Has anyone give an adapter like this a try?
USB Audio/Charge

Thanks, if anyone finds a working one let me know.
The one for Pixel (digital) is good also
24bit/384kHz supported
I've bought just generic from aliexpress, can't say much about it's sound quality as i don't use it
Just to add to this information, I purchased the Google USB C to 3.5 adapter and it works great. I also purchased this one off of Amazon and works equally as well. USB Type C to 3.5mm Female Headphone Jack Adapter
I went and bought a Samsung USB-C headphone adapter after I lost two previous OnePlus adapters with my 6T. Well, it worked flawlessly until I ended up losing it as well. Bought mine from BestBuy.
