Has anyone tried the desktop mode on the V60, or at least confirm that it has one? I've seen demonstrations on the V50 when it got the Android 10 update and that would do me.

Thanks so much for that, I've asked in a few places and this is the first answer I've had. I guessed a desktop mode would have there but you never know.
The V60 looks like a good replacement for my Note9 later in the year. I just need to be able to buy one in the UK.

Is this simple screen sharing or a different interface like Samsung dex? Thanks

It's the same as the V50 & G8X, so a proper desktop mode but not as advanced as DeX. I have a NexDock 2 and use it with Samsung DeX and Huawei Easy Projection all the time. Looking at videos of LGs desktop mode it will do a reasonable job, which is all I need. Once Linux on DeX went away and Samsung dropped the 3.5mm headphone port I realised that I needed something different for my next device.
Can someone give a short how to?
I used a USB-c hub that has HDMI. I connected the hub to the USB-c port, and the monitor the the HDMI. It does not work with the magnetic port, it seems. (Though the magnetic port does support connecting to a computer with USB). You get a desktop, and can use the phone itself as a trackpad. If the hub has power in, you can keep the phone powered.
It is really too bad about the magnetic port, since I like to keep the phone in the dual case, and am afraid that too much in and out of the case will damage the UCR port of the phone...

So I have the same concern and never take mine out of the dual screen case. Could it be the cable used doesn't have all the pins needed internally and this may work? I can't see how it would work to a computer and not a TV.

never mind. USB-C is 22 active pins. That explains why the 12 pin magnetic connector doesn't work for HDMI.

Is there a cable for the prime for USB host? I want a USB port but so far I can only find cables for the Galaxy tab or for micro USB ports. I don't want the keyboard dock, I have my laptop for computing. I just want a cable for it. So far I can only find the Asus dongle for the TF101(compatible right? Same proprietary port?), but that's only for an SD card, not a USB-female port.
Do you mean this? If you need to hook up a usb device to the prime, you need a dongle like the one below.

good question, i was looking at picking one of these up so i could use my ps3 controller with my prime's included charging cable.....
http://www.amazon.com/HDE-Female-5-Pin-Male-Adapter/dp/B002S7PS8M
USB female to mini-usb male.
would this work and do i really need to shell out for that box, i just don;t understand what exactly it does, i think for what i'm trying to do it should be fine, i could see the issues when trying to use a usb hdd as i could see more drivers needed to even access the data from the drive....i would think a ps3 controller would just show up....any suggestions or buying some extra box to carry around 100% necessary....

Bought this last week thinking the same thing.
Does not recognize devices. Something is weird about the dock cable.
I was trying to pair my PS3 controller, I ended up doing it with the keyboard port instead.
On a somewhat related note, I dont recommend you buy the item at that link. I ended up chucking mine out because it was too loose to hold the cables in... and its mustard yellow...eww
I've yet to confirm this myself, but I believe the dock connector uses different pins for "USB Host" (ex: plugging in a controller to the tablet) and "USB Device" (ex: plugging the tablet into a PC) modes. Using a USB Female-Female adapter, as others above have proven, will not work.
Wait...I spoke to soon, the link above is useless. It's backordered and I can't find it anywhere else. Anyone have an idea?
I got mine from microcenter, in tustin, ca. There might still be one there. And yea I first tried a female to female adapter on the usb charging cable it came with and no dice. However this adapter does work. Plugged my 360 controller in and played some shadowgun.
I think there's already a thread with a shopping link to the cable, just the "search this forum" option glitches out on my Rezound.
Anyway, I'm fed up with standard micro USB cables coming loose while charging this thing(especially while driving & using the phone via AUX on head unit to play music).
Can someone post a shopping link to the original cable that comes with the Rezound
Please do not post a regular micro USB link as I've already gone through multiple ones that were 'snug' at first but eventually loosened up.
Thanks!
Search for EXTMicro USB. There is no such thing as an MHL cable.

Oh but contraire, MHL stands for mobile high-definition link and its for hdmi out

MHL is a standard for transmitting, not hardware. It works over many different kinds of cables, including Micro USB.
So I repeat, there is no such thing as an MHL cable. There are MHL adapters, but they use . . . MicroUSB or EXTMicro USB.

Just trying to clear the air about that. A lot of people really seem to prefer the solidity of the EXTMicro connector and it's going to be a lot easier for people to shop for cables with them if they know the correct name.

That does not come with an EXTMicro connector. So while the charger is the same, the MicroUSB is not which is what this thread is about.
http://www.amazon.com/ExtMicro-USB-12Pin-DC-T500-HTC/dp/B0050JE78W - I've not tried this one yet. It is less than the next one not when you add shipping.

Backstory:
I have a lapdock from my old Atrix that had the LCD go out on it. I was wondering if it would be possible to just use it as a battery, keyboard, and usb hub for my Nexus 7. I took apart the dock to access the micro usb plug to go into my Nexus 7 but have no use for the HDMI. However the lapdock is enabled when a device is plugged into the hdmi.
Question:
How do I enable the lapdock without anything plugged into the HDMI.

Can you get any pictures? It would be helpful.
If you the cables out, have you tried plugging the microusb into the nexus 7 and the microHDMI into the phone(to power it on) to test whether the nexus 7 even detects the keyboard, mouse, charger of the dock?

I Don't have any devices with micro HDMI anymore (Atrix went to craigslist). I ordered an adapter for regular USB but from China so who knows when I'll see that.
The nexus 7 doesn't support HDMI out at all. Google confirmed that... What you could do is make some like of dummy or I read somewhere to short some wires... Read before you do anything though...

I know the Nexus 7 doesn't support HDMI. Thats why I'm here asking if anyone knows how to short the HDMI. Having trouble finding anything on it.
sorry for digging and old thread but until now im using the lapdock as otg hub, a keyboard and track pad. i have to remove the lcd screen since i have no use for it. very useful indeed up to now 2018. i usually use this setup playing pubg mobile. i dont a tablet but probably it also works
if you have a broken lapdock lcd, then you can have mine for free. except you shoulder the shipping of course
Hello Guys,
I don't know is should start this thread or not, just thought i should share this amazing device.
Black MHL To HDMI HDTV Adapter OTG Card Reader Connection Kit
It let you connect to HDMI without external power, also if you use external power you can use HDMI and USB hard drive at the same time, it is just really really amazing, Sammy has really improved their MHL and OTG support.
Note: I am using this device on my Note 3 N9005 I am not sure about other devices

Black MHL To HDMI HDTV Adapter OTG Card Reader Connection Kit
Mhl 2.0?
Iv been dealing with these for about a year now. From my s3 to my note 3. With the s3 it's 2.0 so you have to provide external power but these things are the tits when it comes to the note 3 with 3.0 you can run USB and HDMI without power. I play games and use it for work with all wireless accessories it's awesome. Supports 1080p at 60hrtz. We sell them in our repair shop and on Ebay. Not often though as "normal" people don't see the capabilities of this lol.
Go buy one their awesome.

It's not immediately apparent, but the device pictured (and others like it, one of which I have) do have a port for charging: the micro usb. When I got mine it took me a minute to realize that, then it hit me that power would really be the only use for that port. So I plug one of my Sammy charging cables into it during use.

a little bit off topic but I have bought 2 USB OTG cables off eBay and neither works with my Z ultra, but they do work with the wife's Note 3. Does anyone know if there's a setting I'm maybe forgetting to turn on or if I need a specific cable?
There's no power at all going to the devices I connect, have tried everything from keyboards, thumb drives and dualshock controllers.

The one i bought from Amazon a year ago works perfect, it was $1.99
I didn't do anything special to get USB OTG working.
It could be that your USB device is drawing too much power, which a Note could manage but the XZU can't?
I don't (yet) have this phone, so maybe I'm missing something...
Why not flip the phone the other way, so the USB port is on the top?
the fully rectangular version is from when not all devices supported otg so they made them that way as a sort of failsafe to stop unsupported devices being tampered with (i personally believe it was to coin in further on cable replacements on high end devices)
if you have one of the old rectangular otg cables laying about just carefully file away at the edges a little bit until it fits smoothly (dont force it!!)...
tested with an old nokia n8 cable on my lg g2 and it works just fine!!!

the book cover/case I use has a crease so it can act as a stand, and the phone ends up held with the USB port bottom/right. It then leaves the mag charge port free for power.
