Hello everyone.
my phone died at the same time as my PC last month (a coalition).
I bought the s23 ultra for its power hoping to be able to use it as a phone as much as as a PC (android pc).
Could you tell me what hardware is needed for this conversion (I already have a Bluetooth keyboard + mouse) ?
Best regards
Here is my setup (plug in a monitor for Dex to get a more desktop experience)
Dock 1 - (pictured) https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B095F4FZZY/
Dock 2 - (Raised) https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B08PFC2ZW9
Both of these have HDMI out and also plenty of extra ports for connecting things.

I had something like this and it works great if you are just wanting to hook it up to Dex. I have something similar and is great to have.
I switched to the Dock style like I linked because it allows me to use the phone without the need of an external display (but has the option to use one).
Either solution would work great and the best thing is you can plug in full size Mouse and KB to either option if you do not want to stick with the BT KB if it is not full size.
Thank for answers !
I've got something like that !
so Waiting for my S23 and let's go !!!
question more,
does s23U usb-c support display port 1.4 or 1.2 ?

I don't know really what refresh rate is supported by our S23 Ultra
There are a lot of options to use S23U as an Android PC.
You can use a USB C dock. There are some docks that are more designed for desktop setup to be PC. I would suggest getting something that has passthrough power charging since there is only one USB port. Technically you can use Qi charging pad, but wireless charging tend to make batteries run hotter, which can shorten the life the battery in the long term.
Since Samsung has Dex on many of its phones, you essentially only need to hook the phone up to some kind of display. After that, it's about making it a better experience. This is connecting a keyboard, mouse, and so forth. I personally like Logitech ERGO K860 keyboard. Ergonomic, but has Bluetooth and a wireless receiver, and can be synced up to 3 devices. The Logitech MX Anywhere 3 Compact mouse it nice. Small, thus very portable. Also can synch up to 3 devices.
There are also lapdocks such as NexDock and Uperfect. These are basically like laptops but with no central processing or storage. They're a keyboard, mouse, and monitor. They're still pretty early in the product cycle and haven't gotten to a general population use. I have the Nexdock Touch and NexDock 360 wireless. They work very well, but there can be some quirks. The phone is all the CPU, GPU and storage. Most modern phones released in the last few years have the power any decent laptop; maybe more powerful in some cases. These can run $250-$600US, which some argue you can get a cheap Chromebook or laptop. The nice thing, when you upgrade your smartphone, you're "upgrading" the power of the "laptop". With NexDock, you can access the internals, which means, in theory, you can replace the battery. If true, it means you can keep/use the lapdock for years. I think YouTuber, JuanBagnell, does a good job explaining the pros and cons of lapdocks. He focuses on most people's everyday and most likely uses. He does not use the usual benchmarks; it's how certain programs actually perform. He has reviews of several Nexdock and Uperfect. YouTuber, ETA Prime, has some interesting reviews on some of them too; he is more gaming focused
You are going to want to read/watch information on Dex. It's one of the more "refined" desktop environments with smartphones. It's not like ChromeOS. Google hasn't only recently started to add a desktop environment to Android. It has a more Windows feel to it. Not apps play nice with it. Also realize, this is Android based. Thus, you're not going to be able to use Windows or MacOS applications. It has to be Andriod applications. Some apps have incorporated the desktop environment. Others not so much so they can look weird. Some applications are designed not to work in the desktop environment. On a side note, you don't have to use to Dex. There is an option to mirror your phone.
If it wasn't for a few specific Windows-based applications, I could literally ditch the home PC. This is why my home PC is very small and not a powerhouse. I recently upgraded to a Minisforum with Ryzen 9 integrated H6800 GPU from the NUC11. The GPU was an issue with a couple of applications I run and was starting to get annoying.

Looking for this answer too, did you find which DP version S23 Ultra usb-c port supports? 1.4?
I don't think the S23 is purely dependant on the USB C adapter being HDMI or not. There are USB C to DP adapters. I think it's more, does the hub support the output of the S23 into a DP signal that the display will accept.
The VGA thing, that will probably require another adapter since you're going to need to change a digital signal to analog. I haven't checked in quite some time, but you may have some luck finding an adapter with HDFury. I used them a long time ago for HDMI to Component video (RGB). It may be kind of pricey.

Hi!
I am planning to grab a portable monitor (8-10 inch) to be used with my S8 when I'm going somewhere I can't use my Samsung Dex.
Are there any good portable monitor with battery embedded?
If possible, I want to use my S8 a bit like Asus Padfone S...
i bought this one to use with dex. it's a bit bigger than you wanted, but seems quality...
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XSVRVD4/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Ah, yes... Ive seen that... Sadly too bulky for me, and most important, need to be plugged in to a power adapter to power on...
I'm wondering if its possible to use a padfone S dock as an extender...
With a MicroUSB to USB C adapter as well though xD
to me, it wasn't any worse than a laptop in total. downside is requiring 2 power sources.
You can use This, Or this
Wow!!! Thank you very much for those two!
It is exactly as I needed!!
The only thing is to wait for those to be released. If ever.
Thanks
That was 2 great links i was looking for a solution.:good:
You can also use the ASUS mb169b+ which is USB Type A
However you'll need the DisplayLink Presenter app. However I find that the DisplayLink Desktop (Demo) (Unreleased) works better as it enabled the scroll whell as well.
The monitor uses the phone as battery, so you might need to grep a usb-c dongle with a integrated usb-c charge port and usb-a port.
you can use GeChic 1503H 15.6-inch IPS 1080p because its best in quality and reasonally priced also have all the features.
one of my friend suggested me to read this article because they have mention top 10 best portable monitor with all the features and comparsion table with prices.
Just imagine, a CASE that adds another screen to your phone so ou have 2 screens of the same size and portable. but imagine this to work on any phone with MHL . is not difficult and the technology already exist. so you can have a note 2, s6, note 8 etc whatvere and just attach the case to it.
i had an idea guys. did you saw the new LG dual screen phone? is just a flip case with a screen atached to the cover.
now remember samsung GROUP PLAY ? you can put 2, 3, 4 or 5 phones together forming an extended desktop experience.
i would just use 2 Note 4 phones together with a 3d printed case. think now how awesome would be to use 2 note 9 phones togheter.
dual or 4 sim, dual battery, dual superamoled screen, double processors etc. everything double.
you can try ASUS MB168B and vinpok split touch screen monitor
This should work fine if you plug it in to a Battery pack
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07CH2HRLP/
I own the 15.6" non touch and it works quite well on my laptop. The one linked is the smaller 11.6" one for only $106
Comes with a micro hdmi to hdmi cable and uses micro usb for power.
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:
https://www.amazon.com/Lightning-Di...coding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=2M2695KH4352C43XXN94
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.

I know this is not a popular feature these days, but I figure I would ask. Does this support any sort of video output via a cable? MHL dongle, USB-C to HDMI dongle, etc.
I would love to hook it up to a TV to play emulator games with no input lag.
Sorry I can not answer your question but I got to say that usb-c video out is criminally underrated. It is such an amazing and hassle free feature. I really hope it catches on. If you ask me its because for some reason its not advertised. I only know about it because I Googled it out of curiosity. 2 days and $15 later I had one of my own.

I would love to have this feature too. Would love to run something like Sentio Desktop or better still MIUI Desktop Mode (once they implement it). I would even buy this phone solely for this purpose.
I have the same question, can we use a cable usb c to hdmi in order to connect poco f1 to a tv.
The snapdragon 845 doas support it so it should work
But it doesn't work on some Sony smartphones with the supported soc
bro to clarify, actually usb type c is 3.0 port, and it does support reverse charging, dex, audio peripherals etc (according to USB corporation). but midrange and budget flagships like poco, oneplus does not provide 3.0 connectivity via those ports. they put a c type look-a-like port but it is micro usb wiring done on board. you can charge using any type c branded cable and transfer data but at 2.0 speed and the features you asked may not work. only limited manufacturers like lg, sony, samsung only provide real type c 3.0 or 3.1 port connectivity.
hope this clarifies something.

Does it work on Poco?
USB C video doesn't work. Already tested. There's already a thread and few users like me tested with such accessories. MHL also doesn't work (not tested by me but some other user) search general section.
I wonder if it can be enabled by software, though. There are much older phones without USB-C that can do it. Shouldn't USB 2 provide enough bandwidth?

As far as I understand it's a hardware issue, as in the hardware doesn't support it. I'm sure the USB type C port is just for charging and file transfer at USB 2.0 speeds
Hi,
I have had a Tab S7 Wifi 128 GB (returned it) and have a Tab S7+ 256 GB 6GB RAM here. I want to use it for streaming games only. I capture on my desktop pc with a AverMedia 4k capture card (but I have 4k and 1080p Elgato cars here as well to test).
I plugin the USB-C Multiport Adapter (EE-P3200) from Samsung and it shows "HDMI connected". Screen mirroring and DEX work, resolution and 60Hz are just fine. But after a few minutes - sometimes more, sometimes less the signal drops with a "HDMI disconnected" message. I have to unplug and plugin the adapter again.
- This happens all the time, on the homescreen, in apps, in games.
- It's not the monitor -> it works with all my devices I have here and I tried
- It's not the adapter -> I also have an Apple adapter, an Aukey adapter and a no-name USB-C to HDMI cable ... all four solutions have the same problem!
- It's not that particular Tab S7(+) -> a brand new S7 and S7+ do the same
- It's not the capture card(s) -> Same behaviour with all 3 cards AND I have an Android Huawei MatepadPro tablet as well as an iPad Pro here that work just fine with all adapters, all cables, all capture cards
I "reset" both the S7 and S7+ even tho both were brand new and sealed. Both were/are on the newest software update from October 1st. The problem existed on the stock software as well.
Any ideas please? The tablet itself is great and the huge screen is simply put amazing. But If I can't use the HDMI output it is useless for me.

I just got an update on my AT&T tab S7 5G with November security. Maybe there is a fix coming for this. I have seen Samsung doing USB C updates to devices recently too.

I just got that update two days ago, but it changed nothing.
I've had about 10 calls with Samsung tech levels 1 and 2. Every call I had to explain every from scratch (even with a case number lol) and every person told me "problem is not known/reported", the last guy I had on the phone told me his colleague (that he was texting with during the call) had multiple customers complain about hdmi disconnects and he (the colleague) was able to reproduce the issue on two S7's himself.
I returned the tablet now as a stable hdmi output is vital for my usecase.
For others having the problem, do you have external power connected to the adapter? Plugging a USB-PD analyzer into the S7 shows it can only source 500mA, which might not be enough for some adapters (especially the ones that are also USB hubs) to work reliably.
So after almost 4 months now I bought a brand new Galaxy Tab S7+ again. New Android version, new OneUI version, same problem.
- 4 different adapters (3 with PD) including the original Samsung EE-P3200
- different HDMI cables (including a 8k certified one)
- issues with a Thomson TV, Sony TV, Asus Monitor, Elgato 1080p capture card, AverMedia 4k capture card
- 3 brand new tablets (S7, S7+ and another S7+)
- all my adapters, cables and devices work 100% fine with: iPad Pro 2017, iPad Air 4, cheap Chinese Windows tablet

although i had a usb c hdmi hub that i bought for my s8 phone (not that long ago) i found it's actually the power source+hub that's the culprit.
i knew it does need power cable too in when hdmi out-ing however i thought that 1.5-2A charge is just fine and since it was a good build quality usb c hdmi hub that it will be just fine as well
it wasn't until i had accubattery confirm while running that even with the stock quick charge brick in, when Dexxing if the tablet screen is on too there's barely 0,4 Amps surplus charging the tablet battery after all the consumptions.
mind you i had external drive+usb mouse+usb keyb all hooked up at once.
either that (orig quick charger adapter from Samsung) did the trick or the other : LEVIN USB C hub i bought from Amazon
https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B083DZ1...abc_A1006ASWRW8EZE438PK9?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
but since these two changes my Dexxing is rock solid
at first i thought there's some proprietary trickery is in place that it only works with original Samsung gear (hubs) but i still found these to be too pricey so i got the aforementioned Levin which was of 15.97 gbp inc. posting
hope this helps solving it too

Well I gave up on the S7(+) long ago already. It did NOT work with the official Samsung power adapter + USB-C adapter.
Also just for testing... I had bought a cheap Samsung Galaxy S5e, and ALL adapters, ALL power bricks, ALL hdmi cables worked with that. Same on a Huawei Matepad Pro and a Lenovo P11 Pro (which I am using now). All my stuff (in every combination) works on all Android tablets (and iPads) that I tried.
And all Samsung "customer support" could tell me after 4 months was "apparently Samsung devices can not suit your needs when using capture cards" (apparently a 1.000 EUR device can not while their 400 EUR tablet can). No comment.
I was wondering if it is possible to use the tab s7 plus as a monitor/tv to connect my pc or nintendo switch to using a hdmi usb-c hub.
My son cracked my 55 inch oled tv and dont feel like using my pc monitor.
I have looked and have seen ways to use a capture card but there were some comments that there is possible lag, also other ways like using SuperDisplay which works fantastic for pc but cant use nintendo switch or anything else with it. Is there a way to use it with ugreen usb hub?

Thank-you.
Well, in theory, USB capture cards can work if they have ANDROID App support in general, but yes, the input lag might be high, it could suck for gaming and even the quality is questionable. Instead of buying some "expensive" capture cards, you could grab some second-hand TV or a smaller PC monitor.
Regarding that Ugreen USB hub, that won't work. That HDMI port is OUTPUT, and it's mentioned in the specs. That means it will only output your TAB's screen to an external display.
