Smart Dock 2 Doesn't work - Galaxy Note5 Accessories

I've used the dock from my Note 2 with my Note 3 and Note 4 to project onto my TV.
This accessory no longer works with the 5.
Is there a third party mirroring dock?
And yes I also use a chromecast but I prefer to be connected directly rather than via Wi-Fi

is the mhl cable for note 2 11 pin?

i have to use mhl on a daily basis with my appradio and have the official samsung mhl cable for the gs3 will the same cable work for the note 2, i assume that it will as long as they continue to use the 11 pin mhl out
Yes, it works. I used a GS3 MHL cable with my Note 2 and it works fine, aside from the overscan issue which seems to be a TV problem.

view screen Tab 3 7" to my tv with cable

Hi guys, I need to project the screen of my Tab 3 7" T210 on a TV that has both the hdmi connection that the usb.
I bought a cable network which on one side has HDMI and the other has both USB (to connect to the TV or phone charger) and micro USB to connect the phone precisely.
With the galaxy note 4 This cable works great, but with the tab 3 7 "does not go .... the tv says no signal, while the tab is not even the micro USB connection sound.
There is of special cables that "force" the screen projection of this tab on the tv?
Or maybe something universal that can be projected on the TV screen of any device?
Pretty sure the tablet has to have specific support for the feature. I'm not sure if the tablet does, but from the looks of it it doesn't

There is no other way than Wifi, because Redmi Note 4 doesn't support MHL.

Miracast for example.
Hi I'm using chromecast 2 and using it to cast and mirror videos and stuff to my tv. The tv had only one hdmi out. So i purchased a belkin hdmi cable of two metres and an hdmi splitter online. Now i can switch between set top box and chromecast easily without having to switch the cables connecting to the hdmi port each time.

Note 9. Dex

Has anyone used their Note 9 and the new dex? I can see why people would use it but does anyone really use it as a daily driver?
I'm using DeX as a main driver for productivity, but I'm not using Samsung's DeX station...
Also using Dex daily. At work using a 1st gen dock, at home a 3rd party usb hub.
It's great to replace my laptop. My only grief is not being able to open multiple instances of excel

Are you using the new dongle?

Nope, I'm using a 3rd party one
Me too, Just the USB-C to HDMI adaptor but I got it for Around $10Aud...
I have the Dex pad and Station too but this is so much more mobile, no additional power needed... Just a Bluetooth Mouse and Keyboard...
Not sure how fast it will eat up the battery though....
So I want to connect my Razer mouse and keyboard currently connected to my main PC and monitor to my Note 9 when Dex'd via cable. I know i'll need a hub of some sort, so wanted some expertise on which hub to get, but also wanting to know the best way to set this up minimally.
Also looking at different Dex options for my note 9. already have a usb-C - HDMI adaptor that aslo has a usb-pass through power - (to charge the phone) - but no keyboard\mouse options as yet.
Without hijacking your thread, For me there are two requirements
1) Portable setup, simple hdmi dongle and small portalbe tablet bluetooth keyboard\mouse~ glide pad in built.
2) Permenant setup - like the new Dex Pad (or 3rd party - as Dex Pad doesnt have USB 3).
Sounds like your chasing more of #2 - but what I am wondering is do you want you razor keyboard and mouse to both permanently and always function connected to your PC - and have some kind of double adaptor\hub setup - that if you "do" plug in your Dex Phone - then without moving\unlplugging you K&B - they still work both on the PC and Dex at the same time? Is that right? Share 1 x K&M across both Dex and PC at the same time?
OR
When you plug in the dex - it "switches" all input fully over to dex [only]? cause I am not sure how if you type on the Keyboard its not going to send to both PC and DEX apps if its just on some kind of shared hub etc.

Yep, trying to get a more permanent solution where my keyboard and mouse will work across both DeX and PC at the same time.

Thats interesting idea, I think thou you would get input being sent to 'both' devices - so your typing into a spreadsheet on Excel via DEX, and your regular PC is also getting the same character input \ mouse movements sent to it - if it even worked via some kinda hub.

i think those kind of setup can be achieved with bluetooth keyboard and mouse that supports multiple device switch. for example, I'm using my logitech T630 as a mouse for both of them, and just switch if I want to use it on another device.

Logitech has at least the mouse capabilities, saw it at Jbhifi.

Yep, I owned a wireless/bluetooth Logitech mouse and keyboard, but switched it out for some wired Razer ones for that clickyness!

Does not compute. I don't think that is possible. The best you can do is probably get Logitech equipment and switch out the unified receiver from computer to Dex. I will be testing to see if that works for me.

Of the three options: Dex Pad, Dex Station, 3rd Party USB-C to HDMI adapter, which one outputs 4K and if you know at what refresh rate, i.e., 30HZ or 60Hz?

There are plenty of C-HDMI that do 4K at 60Hz, same as the official Samsung one that was just released.

I believe all 3 do 4k at 60hz.
The Samsung Dex pad/station do and the 3rd party adaptor is advertised as 4k 60hz and I can't see much difference between the Samsung products and the 3rd party cable... Here's the link if you want to check out the USB-C to HDMI cable - https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/USB-C-t...e=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649

Not seeing much difference does not guarantee anything. Buying the Samsung stuff guarantees compatibility. And damn, Samsung's cable is expensive, especially straight from them. I am sure price will come down but that is high. I'm glad I got the DEX pad though. Would've been nice to keep the Ethernet port but that takes up bandwidth.
Dex is good though. Surprisingly good. I tried it yesterday and I think I mentioned this before it is like a mini windows 7 with an android overlay. I thought for sure there would be noticeable latency but NOPE! it's good. I have a really nice laptop. The DEX pad is auxiliary and light weight. I have a Logitech unifying receiver with accompanying keyboard and mouse. Put a thumb drive on the second USB port and get a nice high quality lifestyle looking extension cord and you have a very gratifying portable desktop experience. I for sure will be using Dex to back up my phone to thumb drive and then back up from thumb drive to laptop. I'd rather not hook my phone up to my laptop when I don't have to.
Anybody have one of those Asus monitors that is powered by USB? I think the cheaper one is about $125. I wonder how good it looks and what the minimum power requirement are for the monitor. I doubt 5v at 500ma or 900ma which are USB 2 and 3 specs are applicable to the monitor. Even so I wonder if the Anker battery packs can power it. Asus monitor, 2 or 3 Anker battery packs, DEX pad with thumb drive and keyboard and mouse and you're good to go probably 2-3h 8h workdays without plugging into a socket.
What resolution are able to get via dex? I cant use the 2560x1440 - only 1920 x 1080.
Does the Dex Pad or station get better resolution?

Dex Support and Questions

Does anyone here know if Samsung has an official forum or website for Dex related issues? My searches on Google have turned up dead ends.
Also, is there a thread here on XDA to discuss Dex related issues?
I have a Verizon Galaxy Note 9. I bought a Vava USB-C hub on Amazon that gives me HDMI out, an SD card slot, 3 USB type A ports, and a USB C port for charging. I have a Logitech Wireless Keyboard and wireless mouse connected via USB. I'm having some issues with Dex and I would like to know if they are being caused by my hub or are they general Dex related issues:
- All devices must be plugged into the hub prior to plugging it into the phone. Hotplugging devices causes the Dex desktop to lock-up.
- Mouse scrolling breaks everytime I minimize an app. It also breaks in one app when I switch to another app and then right back to the first app.
Is anyone with Samsung Offical Dex Pad having similar issues? Also, is anyone with another unofficial USB-C HDMI connector having similar issues?
Edit: When scrolling for the external mouse "breaks," scrolling while using the Note 9 as a trackpad still works.
There is no such line for the time being.
I use the cheap USB type C to HDMI output.
However, my tv screen only show minimum size (1.5x bigger than phone screen)
any setting I need to do on my phone?

Firstly if your Note 9 is connected to tv and in Dex mode, the tv should automatically, scale it correctly.
(I have found that some, older tv's it's a bit misaligned .)
Secondly, are you in Dex mode or
screen mirroring mode ?
See screenshots.
