My question is, can you use your webtop app through usb? I want to use webdock on my lap top but my lap top does not have an hdmi port, I'm running the mod for just hdmi without the dock. Anyone have any idea how to do it?
not possible. USB is not an HDMI port and they serve completely different functions.
EDIT: also, even if your laptop had an HDMI port it wouldn't work, because that would be an HDMI-out port, not HDMI-in.
How does the desk dock for your pc work then? I figured it had to be through usb

it works through the same type of connector that a monitor uses, DVI or VGA. USB does not transmit video to displays.
In short, the dock is needed right?

an HDMI cable is needed, and as most laptops are, you can't input a display onto it so your options for running at on your laptop are near-zero.
Has anybody tried using an adapter such as this one:
https://www.amazon.ca/Adapter-Metal...1491424892&sr=8-1&keywords=usb+type+c+to+hdmi
with the MI 5S Plus?
I would like to have a wired method of streaming my phone to the TV, but I am not sure if it would work.

Darn. That sucks. Thanks for the information. Glad I didn't buy the cable but was hoping for the best.
Does devices has USB-C HDMI support like S8, LG G5?
up!
Doesn't seem to work on my first attempt. Reason I was ditching my Moto Z as it didn't work on that. Always worked fine on my LG G5 and on pre USB C Samsungs. At least it does have miracast though Moto didn't even have that.
Tried again after updates, still no joy after system update 47.1.A.8.49
The screen does seem to detect an HDMI input but it's black and the phone doesn't mention it.

XZ1 does NOT support MHL and DisplayPort-over-USB-C HDMI adapters. They won’t work on the device. That means you’ll have to use a wireless method ( e.g Miracast or Chromecast) to connect to your TV
Hi,
A Reddit user has successfully tested one method to display content via HDMI
Thread : https://www.reddit.com/r/SonyXperia/comments/9futz7/displaying_content_via_hdmi_on_xz_xz1
Anyone have any feedback on this method ?

The missing link is the keyword "DisplayLink"! A "DisplayPort alt mode" USB-C to HDMI cable would be cheaper and smaler, but this DisplayLink dongle does the job, too! :good:
"WAVLINK UG-3501H" (DisplayLink certified dl-3500 chipset) + USB-A to USB-C adapter/cable
After installing the app "DisplayLink Presenter" and a reboot, the picture was shown via HDMI.
I tested the this device with these smartphones:
1. Sony XZ1 (USB 3.1)
2. ZTE Axon 7 Mini (USB 2.0, like the XZ1 Compact)
Hello, and thank you SGH-i200 for this tip, but I'm not sure to understand, why this item you propose is suppose to work better than other USB adaptator ?
I'm needing to be chanrging my Xz1 while plugged to a screen and a Bluetooth keyboard, it seems that this item is not giving option to charge my phone at the same time, how to find any adaptator that is "displaylink" ? I've made hours of research now, and still don't get anything..
Thank you !

Maybe you can try to use a USB type C docking station which supports DisplayLink. eBay and Amazon are full of DisplayLink adapters and docking stations.
In order to use a hub, you need a kernel that allows to active USB host mode and charging at the same time! Only same custom kernels allow this combination.

Thanks,
I buy it from ebay, tested today
WAVLINK UG-3501H + Ugreen type-c to usb + Sony XZ1 + Monitor 1080P = video + audio (I can't check resolution)
But,
For Sony = WAVLINK UG-3501H == 26-39$
For Samsung Galaxy S8 / S8+ Plus / Macbook/huawei mate10 P20 (pro) = USB-C Type-C to HDMI == 6-18$

Trying to replace a Lenovo USB-C HUB C112 that is not recognized by my Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact
Do you know if any DisplayLink mini hubs would be compatible too ?
Does anyone has tested Vantec SB 3.0 Universal Mini Docking Station Adapter with HDMI/DVI (DSH-M100U3) with Xperia XZ1 (Compact)?
Also, I read this : "...It appears that some Android devices do not go into USB host mode..."
Could it be what happen with my Lenovo USB-C HUB C112 ?
Regards

Did you check what is shown in a USB diagnostic app like this one? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=aws.apps.usbDeviceEnumerator

Hi !
Before buying the pocophone F1.
I need to know if we can connect the phone to hdmi tv.
MHL ? dp alt mode (display port alt for android)?
Is there any way to display the pocophone on tv ?
I want to use this feature to play emulator on big screen, and on the go.
If someone can try this for me... Thanks !

There is a "wireless display" option which will allow you to mirror your phone screen on your wireless TV. The image quality is not the best but it does the job.

That function works really nicely with my Chromecast.
I gather (though I've not tried it) that usb-c allows cabled screen mirroring too, if that's your thing.
Hey ! thanks for your answers. i don't want a wireless solution (already have a chromecast) but too much lag for gaming...
I need someone to confirm (and tried it) that i can connect a USB to HDMI cable in order to mirror screen the phone on tv.
Thanks
@F4T4LITY
As above, I've not tried it, but here's an interesting link to some info on usb-c and Alternate mode. It kind of suggests that any phone with usb-c, given the right cable can do the trick.
This would do it, I reckon

Thanks for the link buddy ! I check that !
EDIT : it's not for all phones, the usb c port of the phone need to be compatible with alt mode (display port alternative mode), then just a cable usb c to hdmi will work.
But with all my research i can even know if the poco f1 hac a usb c port supporting the dp alt mode...
I saw an interesting way, with display link adapter. It s usb external graphics cards, mirroring your phone on tv. But the problem is, with android phones and this technology, you can't mirror on tv AND charge your phone at the same time... :/
If someone has tried something else to connect the poco f1 to a tv.
Let me know, even if it s a fail !
Thanks guys !
EDIT 2 :
For information : I bought my poco F1, i ll get it tomorrow with the hdmi adapter.
I will post you the answer to the question : is the pocophone capable of mhl, dp alt-mode or hdmi out.
i will give you also tomorrow the links to the cables i bought for the test.
If the adapter doesn't work, i will buy a Display link technology adapter, then i will say you if we can charge at the same time as mirroring to the tv.
See ya !

OK i ve done the test ! the USB C to hdmi cable DON T Work with pocophone F1 !
There is no MHL, Dp alt mode in the pocophone !
I will buy now a display link device (usb external graphic cards) to mirror my phone throught HDMI.
I ll keep you informed if i can mirror hdmi AND charge at the same time with the "display link" device.
See ya !
Missed it by that much....
I tested mine out on USB-C to HDMI this morning too but F4T4LITY beat me to it....
Confirming it didn't work...
Bummer! Wonder if some bright spark might work out a kernel hack or some other workaround to get this working? I just found a thread on Mi forums asking about it so plainly others are interested...
Might be worth submitting a feature request for a future update. Do other Xiaomi phones have this?

unfortunately, it s a hardware issue... in the poco F1 usb c. none update can change that.
But For info : I don t need to buy a display link hardware. I bought a Chromecast ULTRA (with the ethernet port) and it work flawlessly even in gaming.
My poco F1 >> Wifi 5Ghz >> Chromecast ultra (ethernet)
I can mirror my phone and charge at the same time ! no more problem here for my use !
It s a shame to don't have mhl or hdmi on phones today... it must be standard... but i got the chomecrast backup solution so... it s ok.

#ro.hdmi.enable=true is commented out, maybe some can investigate what it does if enabled
any news yet?
I'm interested too.
Up .. Any news ??
Sry guys nothing works with cables for now...
Got the ultra chromecast solution and sincerly it does the job. I can play ppsspp, or gamecube, psx,...... Full speed even on tv (wireless) or on the pocoF1.
Found out Poco doesn't support TV out after I bought it. My USB C-HDMI dongle was working flawlessly with LG V20 but not with Poco F1. My Tv doesn't have WIfi inbuilt so can't mirror wirelessly either. Bummer! Now only two options are there either buy Miracast/Chromecast dongle(wireless) or Displayport dongle(wired). Removing important useful functions doesn't really make cheap phone appealing.
Edit: Also, I found these dongles for cheap online. If any one has one can he/she check? https://www.aliexpress.com/item/NEW...splay-Graphic-Adapter-for-PC/32824881352.html
Got some USB-C earphones, it was a whim, they also aren't supported by the USB-c port....
This looks to be another cut corner to reduce the price , though is it hardware or software?
There may be a chance if it is only software....

I've tried to connect the S10+ in a USB C hub with HDMI output (not Samsung DEX) to use it on a 34" 3440*1440 (UWQHD) ultrawide monitor.
For my surprise... it works!!! Yeah!!
One downside, at this resolution, refresh rate is 50Hz...

Hehe, I was hoping to hear what hub @geekoo89 was using.
Are you also able to obtain greater than 1080p resolution in dex mode using a non samsung usb-c hub? If so, would you mind posting what phone and monitor you are using and what resolution was available?
