Hi.
Does Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G supports any HDMI adapter?
I want to connect my older, not smart TV to watch Netflix when I go to country side.

Bump.. @si3wc4 did you get it working? Anyone else?
Tested with a USB-C mini-dock, the Mi 11 lite 5G/NE doesn't have DP-alt mode, so it's not compatible with Type-C to HDMI cables/dock. The main reason for it is probably the lack of USB 3.1 (the connector is just USB 2.0).
Yes, that's one thing many people don't realize, a USB Type C connector is a guarantee of nothing.
The same thing goes for USB Type C cables.
If in doubt cut the cable with scissors and see how many conductors (pairs) it has. Of course this kills the cable.
If device is USB 2.0 the most video connectivity it might have would be to use an actual video adapter, but that is a separate frame buffer than the screen.
Unrelated: I use a Raspberry Pi Zero W connected over Bluetooth to my Android.
The RPi has an HDMI output I can use for my own digital signage style application.
The HDMI shows text and is completely unrelated to my Android's screen.

Hi guys,
I ve got a HDMI adaptor and cable for my S2 and it is working fine on the TV with HDMI, just wondering if I can connect S2 to the telly without HDMI socket?
There is no cable for that. Or use an HDMI cable with a DVI converter on top of it?
Google for HDMI to composite. There's loads of cheap leads to do this.

I am also trying to find how to cheaply connect S2 to a crt tv with either scart or composite RCA - does't look possible without high cost below taken from a web site but not allowed to post link as I'm a new user!:
HDMI To Composite Cable is sought by many people nowadays. People who have old technology equipments try to connect them with brand new HDMI-ready devices. Most old devices are using either composite cable, analog cable, or S-Video cable.
HDMI To Composite CableSome people think that they are able to convert the digital signal from HDMI end to several analog signals in the other end. The truth is, while you clearly can connect wire-to-wire, which simply won’t work. There is no possible solution to convert digital to analog signal without using a converter box. When you see HDMI To Composite Cable sellers claim to be able to convert the digital to analog signal directly without a converter box, they mostly scam and don’t work.
So, is it possible to convert the digital signal to analog signal? The answer is yes, but you can’t use a simple HDMI To Composite Cable. You need a converter box. It will do the conversion from digital to analog without a breeze. You may find them on the market labeled as HDMI To Composite Converter, HDMI To S-Video Converter, HDMI To 3 RCA Converter, HDMI To 5 RCA Converter, HDMI To Composite 3 RCA / S-Video Converter Adapter, but simply not as HDMI To Composite Cable only.
hdmi uses digital signal, so you can use a DVI adaptor but that's it.. (or digital component but that's ultra rare)
to use analogue (scart, composite, component, s-video) you'll need a digital-to-analogue converter box and they cost around £30 from ebay.. you're better off putting that money towards a new LCD with hdmi
While looking to find a HDMI cable solution for my Moto Z, I came across a solution for the Galaxy S7.
- purchase this cable: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/272686294141?clk_rvr_id=1297701036148&rmvSB=true
- enable USB debugging
- go to display in settings and set it to the highest resolution
- connect your phone to this cable using your original USB power cable
- Job done.... now you have a solution for connecting your Samsung Galaxy S7 to any TV via HDMI (works for the Moto Z as well using a usb C power cable)
Listing at ebay was already removed...
Try this:

Any displaylink hardware could send the image to the HDMI o VGA port. I have the Targus Multi Display Adapter and I'm able to connect my S7 to a VGA port or HDMI Port without any problem. You can connect a USB keyboard and mouse too! You only need to install the diplaylink app for android
There are many hardware with this technology
Does the ethernet port work with the Targus and S7?
I looking for cable for Samsung S7 it's even possible?
MHL (the primary hdmi to usb micro protocol) does NOT work with S7 or S7 Edge as of at least Nougat. They lost MHL on the 7 line actually, S6 DID support it. Unless MHL support was added in Oreo, I am highly suspect of the claim that this cable "works". I have a rif6 cube projector and this is one of my few phones/tablets that I still can't use on the included MHL microusb-hdmi cable (which works with numerous other Android devices). DisplayLink may work but is an entirely different premise. DisplayLink uses proprietary protocol to send encoded video over usb or wifi. With the display link app installed, yes you may be able to wired/wirelessly output your display but this is similar to screen casting and encodes the video, not a raw hdmi out video cable. DisplayLink also assumes you actually have a DisplayLink capable display or device to cast to (which I sure don't haha)
Can anyone confirm this is still working on latest oreo firmware?
Also, allebay.amazon links are dead, what should we search for?
I am interested in getting one of these until Christmas!
I second that. Can anybody confirm any of these work?
Seems plausible
I cant be sure, but I'm pretty sure you need the microusb to OTG connector that came with the s7....it allows you to plug in standard USB devices such as flash drives, game controllers, etc. You then purchase a VGA displayLINK (not displayport) external USB graphics card....plug vga from USB graphics card to tv/monitor.
USB device handles graphics control..
App acts as linux/android driver so no need for MHL anything....android is an OS...
Sounds workable.....
worth a 30 - 40$ RETURNABLE purchase.....
Looking for VGA displayLINK external USB Graphics card
Would love to try the below suggested solution. I have the Micro-USB to USB OTG adapter that came with the Samsung S7. I've got VGA cables and a tv that will accept VGA. What I don't have is the USB to VGA adapter that is described below. Can you point me to where I can buy the correct item?
I see some USB to VGA adapters on Amazon, but not sure if they'll work with this set up. I'm new to this forum so I can't post links to outside sites, but just search Amazon for "USB to VGA Converter, USB 3.0/2.0 to VGA External Video Card Multi Screen Display Converter Support Resolution 1080p for Win 7/8/8.1/10 Desktop Laptop PC Monitor Projector HDTV [No Need CD Driver] " and you'll find what I'm talking about.
I thought displayLINK was way to wirless mirror my screen. That's not what I'm looking for. I can already do that with Chromecast, ClickShare, etc. I want to have a cabled connection to have in places where I don't have an internet connection at all. This is for business presentations, so I'm not concerned about lag for gaming, nor am I concerned with perfect resolution or even audio. I just want to display screen of my Samsung S7 on a larger display with a cabled connection that doesn't require internet.

Funny, I have the Anker one, but with a USB-B port. Connected in a USB-C hub, that provides HDMI out, USB-C to charge and USB-B, in which I plugged this. While the lights flicker, nothing works. I tried plugging a USB memory stick, won't read it (my Anker adapter has USB 3.0 and gigabit ethernet). But, if I plug the key directly in the USB-B port of the USB-C hub, no problem. So somehow, that one does not work for me. Anyone else been able to get an adapter to work? At best, I want something like the Dell WD15. It's an overkill, but any alternative providing ethernet, hdmi, usb-b and a mean to charge like usb-c. A mix of video ports is even better, but not required.
Hi Guys,
I have Huawei Mate 20 pro and one of the reasons to buy this was the desktop mode.
I have an old HP monitor that has 3 ports (DVI, VGA and display port). So I bought 3 things. USB c to HDMI dock. HDMI Cable and HDMI to DVI Converter. I plugged all these in and my monitor is not picking any signals.
I think that the USB c to HDMI dock might be faulty so i ordered a new one but would it be better if i just get the USB c to DVI cable ? I wont be able to charge the phone but atleast it would work.
Can anyone advise ? I just want to use the Desktop mode on my old monitor with mouse, keyboard and charging.
I have a choetech usb-c to hdmi adapter that works perfectly for the mate 20 pro. I cannot advise how other bits will work.
Thanks for this message, I didn't even know that there was a desktop mode on my phone
I have a Startech adapter from USB-C to DVI, HDMI, VGA or miniDP and just tested out, everything works fine.
Maybe the resolution of your monitor is not supported?
greetings,
A quandary of cables and connectors has me stumped...
i would like to know if it's possible to connect the samsung galaxy tab s6 to my dell monitor? my Connectivity options are:
Dell monitor u2212
1 Digital Visual Interface connectors (DVI-D) with HDCP
1 DisplayPort (DP)
1 Video Graphics Array (VGA)
1 USB 2.0 upstream port
4 USB 2.0 downstream ports
upstream and downstream are a mystery to me...
furthermore i wouldn't mind connecting the tablet to my LG smart tv which has 3 HDMI slots and 3 USB slots. all the hdmi slots are in use... can i get the full tablet experience using the USB ports? or better to use HDMI..
Thanks for any clarity on these -for me - technical blockades.

If you are planning to use your tablet as the primary 'desktop' or use it for an extended period of time, I think the best option is to look into a USB C hub/dock, ideally one with 2 USB C ports or a USB C + VGA port combination. This allows you to charge your tablet while maintaining display via the other usb c port (with USB C to VGC/DP cable) or via VGA to VGA to the monitor.
If your television is a Smart TV, you might want to check if screen mirror is available. If so, you can screen cast your tablet to the TV via the tablet's SmartView and work cableless. There is small latency and this method is suitable for light activities. If you plan to stream media, the better approach is to do through usb c to HDMI for more seamless experience and not have shutters. On your TV you can look at getting a HDMI switch/splitter if all ports are filled.
Hope this helps!

Thank you Rayzie,
I'll start looking at USB C hubs. i hope i can transition to a tablet as my primary desktop. my old system - a dell windows 7 - doesn't even have the newer usb C port. i'll check my LG TV to see if it will mirror. tho i can free up an HDMI port by removing a netbook.
thanks again!
