Question Desktop Mode / HDMI out? - ASUS ZenFone 8

Can the Zenfone 8 connect to an external display via USB-C / HDMI?
I could not get it working. My dock works with Huawei phones.

I think a device needs USB 3.x (like Zenfone 9). Zenfone 8 only has 2.0.

I heard that there is no video output in ZenFone9. Watched it in one of recent reviews of ZF9 Can someone confirm that?

There is no other way than Wifi, because Redmi Note 4 doesn't support MHL.

Miracast for example.
Hi I'm using chromecast 2 and using it to cast and mirror videos and stuff to my tv. The tv had only one hdmi out. So i purchased a belkin hdmi cable of two metres and an hdmi splitter online. Now i can switch between set top box and chromecast easily without having to switch the cables connecting to the hdmi port each time.

HDMI Output over USB Type C

Hey folks,
has anyone tested a USB Type C to HDMI-cable to project the Screen on a TV or monitor? On my Samsung S8 and LG G5 it works flawlessly, but on the P10 it only show the charging option for the cable
Is the cable the problem or does Huawei not support this? i couldn´t find any official info from Huawei about it.

Hello,
I don't think you can project from USB to HDMI BBY default. Unless there is some kind on emulation driver on your phone (which would require root). My advise, to achieve what you looking for, get a Google Chromecast and your good to go.

After trying multiple hdmi to type c adapters by now i came to the same conclusion. Unfornuately lg und samsung have that functionalty.
Chromecast is only good for certain things, if you watch videos it´s too delayed or might not even function depending on the size and format of the videofile.
As i travel much, it would have been nice to plugin the cable into the tv of the hotel to watch some movies on my phone and not all tv´s in hotels have chromecast functionality.
I hope huawei will implent this functions in next firmwareupdates or so, cause the mate 10 has that function exclusively (for now).
The difference is that G5 and S8 has USB 3.0/3.1 standard with USB type-C connector while P10 has old USB 2.0 with USB type-C connector.
You can check the specifications at gsmarena.com
BTW, Galaxy S5 has USB 3.0 with microUSB connector
Such a pity :/

Hdmi

This might sound stupid, but has anybody tried and hdmi dongle with a different rom? Something that is not built on top of miui? Maybe it's a limitation of miui.
Black shark 2 also is stated to have usb 2.0, yet it supports hdmi out. I remember another phone with the 2.0 that supports hdmi out. Zte axon
anybody?
Far as i know, the mi 9 does'nt supporte video over usb c.
as I already stated, I'm looking for somebody on a non-MIUI rom and an usb-c to hdmi adapter that can test.

Question External monitor

Hello, I'm facing a problem here.
Mi 11 ultra appears to not support external monitor.
I don't know if this is only in CN version, anyone already tried use an external monitor? If yes, did It worked?
Nope doesn't work with usb-c to hdmi adapter, worked on huawei but doesn't work on mi 11 ultra
The later Huawei models have a lovely desktop mode when connected to an external monitor. It's a shame Xiaomi haven't done something similar.
Doesn't work. Xiaomi phones have USB 2.0 as a standard for the type c port. This doesn't support native display out.
You have to buy a phone with > USB 3.0 at least which supports USB-ON-THE-GO. Only then you can enjoy all the external accessories.

USB-C to HDMI possible?

Hello, my M31 is broken : the screen is black, BUT he's working fine it seems as I can hear notifications in parallel of my new phone.
Do you think it's possible to have the screen on my TV via an USB-C to HDMI cable? My purpose would be to try auhorizing file access to recover my photographs.
I already tried with a UGREEN dock (1 HDMI, 3/4 USB) but it didn't work : is it because a special dock is needed or because M31 doesn't allow the screen image to go via USB-C to any TV / screen.

Ok, thanks a lot for your message.
I saw a large number of advertising like this. The UGreen I bought was capable of android devices but it didn't work with my M31 (nor with a Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro or a One Plus Nord N100). Are you sur it works? (I mean usb-c on M31 is 2.0 is it ready for hdmi signal handling?).
Anyway, if something can work, I would prefer a hub with 2/3 usb connectors so that I could have a mouse and a keyboard... and why not a hard drive.
Hello it seems that the above mink is just an advertising I found the same for oneplus at amazon.ca https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sou...UQFnoECBcQAQ&usg=AOvVaw1UaDF9c9BDdOhZjCq-jcDo
Did anybody with a M31 tried a hub?
USB 2.0 thoroughput is not enough for Video output. The devices that you mentioned does support Video out because they specifically support video alt mode with type c. You should have bought another device for this.
If you had usb debugging enable you could have use ADB video copier that allowed seeing you on PC. You could definitely access the storage on PC, can't you?

Hello, too bad : I hadn't usb debugging enabled...
I cannot install any app on my device : screen is broken, no possibility to handle anything (since the time I broke I can hear notifications but that's all).
You can connect to PC and use smart switch to take backup

Hello, thank you for your message : when launching smartswitch it asks me to enter the pasword onto the phone device : as I have no way to perform this (no screen, no longer any pixel working on the phone screen) it's not the solution I'm waiting for.
Concerning scrcpy : I tried to install it on my Windows personnal computer (downlaoding the scrpy.zip, unzipping, launchine scrpy.exe ... ) BUT nothing occurs when I launch the app :\
