Note 8 in HDMI works fine without any modifications - Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion

Goodmorning everyone
I bought an HDMI adapter, it works fine with Note 8.
There is no need to make any changes, as it is already set up to work with both DEX and HDMI Mirroring.
Reaches a 4K resolution,tried and fully functional.
Works with S8/S8plus/Note8

Do you have Snapdragon or Exynos version of Note 8 ?
Seems like these things work differently with 3rd party HDMI Dex cables/docks/stations etc

I can use my N950N with a wide variety of Type C docks. I used my N950N to test laptop docks all the time if a user at work says that theirs is not functioning properly.

[Q] MHL and Z2 cross compatibility.

I just bought mhl adapter that meant to work with Note 3/S3 and other devices. Unfortunately it doesn't work on my Z2. It works fine with Note 3. I've read something about pins. And as far as a got it, adapter i bought is 11 pin (it's v1.0 BTW) as it works out of the box on Note 3. So my question is: is there a way to make it work on Z2? Maybe i need a tip 11 to 5 pin if one exist.

[Q] Has anyone tried MHL with the 7D-501L/503L/501u ?

Hi all,
One of the use cases for a tablet is that it can be used as a light-duty PC replacement.
I intend to use it this way, for some work related stuff. However, to unleash its full utility, it should be paired to a larger display, like 19"+
Miracast does this, but I find that the Miracast on the X1 is a bit choppy. I have a Samsung AllShare dock, and connection is intermittent, with the Malaysia B102 ROM. It was far worse with the initial release ROM.
One of the things I'm thinking is to use an MHL adapter. There are some on the market with built in USB hubs so I can pair this with the X1 and use it as a desktop replacement, for presentation viewing or emails.
Anyway, anyone tried ANY form of MHL adapter on the X1 ?
The original Mediapad (s7-301u) had a micro HDMI port which could be directly used to output.
Thanks all for inputs.
Silly me, there were initial threads saying MHL works.
Just wonder, as there are 2 MHL standards, the earlier one that came with the original Note N7000, and the next version that came with the Note 2 N7100 and later.
Can anyone confirm if the X1 works with the later MHL standard?

There was another thread about MHL:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-mediapad/general/mediapad-x1-mhl-t2852769
I can only say I got mine 7D-503L working with MHL adapter intended for Sony Xperia Compact Z1 (MHL v1.0).
I bought a dirt cheap MHL 1.0 adapter for about USD3. Worked on the 7D-501L, but could not work on the Note 4.

Video output

Hi I intend to get one of the M5 Pr's but I have one question before doing that.
I come from a NVidia Shield K1 and so I'm used to have the Tab connected via HDMI for watching vids in Hotels.
So is it possible to use an USB-C -> HDMI adapter with the M5 Pro?
Thanks in advance.

Can you please post the used Adapter for it, if it works. I tried at the office with an LG 21:9 Display and am not sure, whether the resolution was too much, whether the adapter did not work, or whether it is not supported

I found an article on notebookcheck.com. They tested the normal M5 Pad and found that HDMI is not possible.
What was your outcome with the Pro Model?

Tried yesterday with USB-2-HDMI Adapter. Notebook is working. Huawei M5 8.4 is not giving any signal.
There is this line in the Vendor build.prop file:
ro.hdmi.service=false
Might be worth experimenting with.

thanks for your answer, but this would not help since amazon is not working with chromecast in offline mode. But it is similar to the answer someone gave on Android-Hilfe.de
Reading in other Huawei sections, seems no others support mhl or slimport. So I don't think it's capable of video output.
So what would be the options for outputting video to a TV screen? I've always used a micro HDMI cable on my current (old!) Tesco Hudl2 tablet, but if cabled connections aren't available, what is the wireless format to use? Miracast or Chromecast don't seem to support all video formats and I'm not sure the quality would be as good as HDMI cable.

I think Miracast (not sure if supported on M5) always work because it is mirror what is on the device screen to the big screen? But it drains your battery fast because the screen must be on at the same time.

Thank you. I've checked, and the M5 does support Miracast (Wifi Direct). I've been trying to test the quality of Miracast using my current phone (S7 Edge) and various receivers, and from what I've seen so far, it doesn't look good enough to play locally stored movies at 1080p or 720p without lag / stuttering.
Chromecast might be an alternative as this sends the compressed file data and not the screen, but as far as I can see this supports only limited container types and codecs. Most of my movie files are MKV, which isn't supported, and some have dolby audio which again isn't supported.
Disappointing, as a quality video out is the only thing missing from the M5 for my current use.
I just bought a Chromecast and I am thinking of returning it ...
I can mirror my desktop mode from the m5 Pro via "Connect" in winodws 10 to my computer but not to my Chromecast ...
what the f.....?? -.-

Return it, Miracast (M5, Windows) is not Chromecast (Google). If you want to cast it to a TV, you need something like this.

Already did so....
are you positive this definetly works?
DONT!!! Buy from good companies. Wifi problems, no android 10, no dark mode, no headphone jack ....
Hi guys -- I tired with the m5 version -- doesn't work! I personally have a Matebook x pro and a mate 20 --both worked on a projection! -- So lets hope the put in an update soon ?

Is it possible to enable DisplayPort in XZ1

Hi, i have a Type-C to Hdmi adapter which is have DisplayPort Alt Mode support. When i plug in to my device, nothing happens. I searched for Hdmi, Dp, usb in root folders but couldnt find anything to activate it.
XZ1 doesn't support HDMI or DP output by a dongle. This was officially confirmed in the Sony-host forums.

Xz1 supports Dp by the hardware but blocked by software. Please read carefully. I want to activate. Not get it by an update or official stuff.
Up! Be helpful!

In my opinion, they were using chromecast to mirror the display on that monitor. See the following screenshot:

PS sorry, I cannot post direct links yet, I am new.

Hmh it's questionable issue...
I'm not sure but does that signature appears only when you use chromecast? Or it pop up when you start mirroring screen in every way including adapter?
BTW Someone on reddit found same video:
https://www.reddit.com/r/SonyXperia/comments/8jxmmq/hdmi_support_on_xperia_xz1/
I'm interested to connect multi function USB-C adapter (rj45, card reader, USB 3, VGA dsub, hdmi, minijack 3,5 mm) to my
XZ1C. I don't want to bring my heavy laptop when I have PowerPoint presentation
I have possiblity to test on either xz1 (someone form my family will borrow me that phone for test)
Both devices has unlocked bootloader and LOS16 installed with magisk flashed. That's why I'm interested to enable this function, with root I have possiblity to edit some system files.
(or it'll be just working, why lineageos developers may block this function?)
Here is my thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/xp...cessories/xz1-compact-micro-computer-t4005629
It'd be great if you join with your knowledge
Now I wait for extra money to buy advanced adapter, or someone to do instead of me.

This icon should appear only when using chromecast, if I remember well. I still have my Nexus 7 and a slimport adapter laying around, I will check if it is true.
To my knowledge, basically the XZ1 should have the functionality disabled in the kernel like Google did on its Pixel 4.
I am very interested in it too, but I had too little time to spend on this research. Hopefully, I should have some days off to investigate on this matter (thanks a lot, COVID-19) :angel:
HDMI out via DisplayLink Presenter app and a DisplayLink dongle

Hello, I saw your post here about getting HDMI working on the XZ1 Compact and was just wondering if you could help?
You mentioned you got it working using "DisplayLink Presenter" and a DisplayLink dongle. I'm not sure what a DisplayLink dongle is.

You need an dongle or a docking station which includes a DisplayLink chip. I use this https://www.amazon.co.uk/Wavlink-Adapter-External-Supports-Resolution/dp/B076SX73LY/

„DISPLAYLINK CERTIFIED (dl-3500 chipset), you could Download the driver from this link: www.displaylink.com. If you have connected to USB3.0 devices, the resolution is adjustable and the maximum resolution can be up to 2048x1152 , if you have connected to USB2.0 devices Resolution 800x600 @ 60Hz.“
It‘s working on 1080p @ 30Hz for me!

2.0, Type-C 1.0 reversible connector. What does it stand for exactly? USB dock.

S10 lite specs say, it's equipped with "2.0, Type-C 1.0 reversible connector". I'm confused. So which generation of USB is that? Does this "reversible" have anything to do with OTG(hosting) ability or is that just an indication that it can be plugged both sides?
I'm diggin into this topic because I'm looking for a docking station, for my S10 Lite, with some USB 3 ports and HDMI. I was wandering if some docks aimed for computers will do. Like this one for eg.:
http://https://greencell.global/en/startseite/1954-docking-station-adapter-hub-usb-c-hdmi-green-cell-7-ports-for-macbook-pro-dell-xps-lenovo-x1-carbon-and-others.html
Wouldnt bother
Hi i really wouldn't bother with a dock for this phone while you might be able to get basic OTG support for a USB stick as storage that's about it, this phone has no USB 3 support, No DEX, and no HDMI output capability. just realised this myself and i'm gutted thinking about returning it for the A90.
Ok. Is hdmi/dex support hardware dependant then? No chance for hdmi with some ported rom? My previous handset had no otg support with stock firmware and then I foud out OTG was there when flashed some lineage or stock rom ported from a newer phone.

OTG maybe, HDMI afraid not the Galaxy s10 lite has a USB 2.0 port not the 3.1 port required to output a HDMI signal. The A90 is cheaper has and exactly the same specs apart from is 6gb ram instead of 8gb and has a 3.1 USB port with full dex support plus it has 5g, not entirely sure why the s10 lite even exists and really wished i had researched more before ordering
There is a multiport adaptor listed on the Samsung store, @deanstead2k18, have you tried an HDMI adaptor and it doesn't work?

I dont have the phone anymore or I would order one and give it a try, as far as I know it's not possible I tried several different multi port adapters with hdmi and none of them worked I even got an on screen message saying it's not supported. Traded in for an s10 plus and all the multi port adapters work perfect
Hmm - I suspect that the thing on a Samsung website is a misprint then honestly. Thanks for the info.
