Secondary display using USB-C - OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers

Is it Possible to connect a screen/projector using adapters(HDMI or VGA) for USB-C on OnePlus 3T? ​

Sorry to disappoint you but nay, OnePlus 3T doesn't support MHL via USB-C.

The only way possible is through Miracast or Chromecast wireless connection, and those come with quite high latencies which makes them impractical for interactivity.

Type-C (USB 3.1) and hdmi out

Hello everyone,
I'm thinking about this phone, but my first priority is to be able to connect it via cable with my Pioneer AppRadio (I know there is miracast, chromecast etc - been there, tried both, sound quality with compression is really low).
As this device has USB 3.1 - would any adapter work?
I can't seem to find exact answers if all usb 3.1 type-c devices support hdmi out (or some sort of mhl).
Thanks
I'm also interested in this. Did anyone check if MHL or Slimport is working on Z2 pro?
Hi,
After looking in this site http://www.gsmarena.com/lenovo_zuk_z2-8125.php, i can see that this is a usb 2 adapter with a type-c connector.
They also don't mention mhl/hdmi so this means that it is probably not supported.
I don't think there is any relation between usb and mhl or hdmi.
Hope this helps.
I did read somewhere it only supports wifi direct as display output but I can not find my source
It can work, because we can have it with USB 3.1, but we need drivers/settings inside a kernel and custom rom.
I have a usb 3.1 type C module who give me charge, usb 3.0 port and hdmi port, actually, only USB 3.0 port work.
The point is , it's getting harder and harder to find a good phone with 4/4+ GB RAM with video out support. No one really knows why they're moving away from this tech even if it's cheap and easy to implement. Some people say they're trying to promote wireless connectivity, others say having those powerful phones support video out will eventually prevent people from buying entry-level laptops. Anyhow, it's weird. If you know of any device with 4 or more GB of RAM (Sony's devices excluded) that support video out, please let us know!
HTC 10 and LG G5 both support HDMI out.

I forgot to exclude LG too. After G2, their flagships are a disappointment, one way or another.
Anyway, thanx for the info, I didn't know HTC 10 supports it.

Usb-c to HMDI output?

Does this phone support audio/video output through the usb-c port? What about the 7 pogo pins? Thanks!

I would imagine that it does, however if it does not then it will almost certainly support displaylink tech which uses a dock as the driver for video out, audio works too but you may not be able to charge whilst using it.
I've used this on the Oneplus 5 which did not have video out of any kind.
Docks can be a little pricey but so long as it states "Displaylink" Technology then it should work.
You will also need the app to get it to work.
Latency is on par with video out.

The ZTE Nubia Red Magic 3 is not compatible with USB-C to HDMI adapters, at least for now, Nubia said that maybe they will add HDMI support in their next update but not sure... The only thing we can do is continue asking them to add HDMI support on their Red Magic facebook page
If they don't add it it's a shame for a gaming smartphone not to be compatible with HDMI adapters

If direct usb-c doesn't work then you could still use displayink
Same thing only it's more expensive, requires an app and it can't charge at the same time.

I think it also has more input lag than smartphones with direct usb-c support, just don't buy "flagship" smartphones without hdmi support they are not worth it, it should be a standard on high-end smartphones

That's not true at all..
I've got multiple videos on my channel proving that, theres also one in the OnePlus 5 forum too made by myself.
But I agree that Direct hdmi output food be standard

OnePlus 7 has direct HDMI output, it's way more easier and more possibilities than displaylink trick with OnePlus 5 or other "high-end" smartphones not compatible with HDMI

It allows charging . That's it and doesn't require an app?? Lol that is it pal..
I wasn't comparing them I was saying it's a possible solution if it didn't support it.

I agree it's still a better solution than wireless display solutions like chromecast or miracast or other slow and high input lag wireless display stuff for uncompatible smartphones, but I also have seen that DisplayLink consumes way more battery than direct HDMI
And displaylink adapters are also more expensive, but again still better than wireless connection :good:
What a failure phone. A pubg streamer bought this garbage and he is not able to connect it to elgato capture card. All of these chinese phones are GARBAGE just stay away from them if you want hdmi.

Can someone try usb-c to HDMI adapter with Oppo Reno ?

Hello, can someone try a usb-c to HDMI adapter with the Oppo Reno please ?
Oppo has added USB-C to HDMI support on Oppo R17 Pro and RX17 Pro with ColorOS 5.2 so it should work with Oppo Reno but still no proof
https://www.facebook.com/opposingapore/videos/coloros-52-screen-streaming/345614832677862/
Oppo Reno 10X works with USB-C to HDMI adapters (link below) so it should work also with Oppo Reno, can someone confirm ?

I did! But I have bad news... It doesn't do anything when connected to the TV via a USB-C to HDMI adapter.
I did some searching for you and it seems that in order for it to work, the device needs to have MHL hardware support which the Reno does not.
A full list of devices with MHL support can be found here:

Thank you for trying ! Which adapter did you use ? Isn't it faulty ? Does it work with another smartphone, tablet or laptop ?
MHL is dead because it use micro USB, not USB-C, the last device with MHL was Galaxy Note 4, now it's video out over USB-C, it's already integrated in Snapdragon SOCs but the smartphone need to have USB 3.0 not 2.0 and software support need to be added from the smartphone maker.
It's weird that it's not working on Oppo Reno with Snapdragon 710 because it works on Oppo RX17 Pro with same Snapdragon 710 https://www.facebook.com/opposingapore/videos/coloros-52-screen-streaming/345614832677862/ , also on Oppo Reno 10x Zoom with Snapdragon 855 https://forum.xda-developers.com/reno-10x-zoom/help/oppo-reno-10x-supports-hdmi-usb-3-1-t3936891

You clearly know more than I do on the topic! Ha. Nope, it's not faulty as I use it with my HP Spectre laptop and it works fine.
The adapter I'm using is this one:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07DCQY25Y/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
So not like it's some cheapo one.
Am I supposed to initiate the screen share within the phones OS do you know? I simply plugged it in like I do my laptop and nothing happened on either the phone or TV

I looked the customer reviews of your USB-C Hub on the amazon link and some people tried it with their smartphone (like the Mate 20 Pro) and it's working so it should work with all Android smartphones with USB-C to HDMI support. I don't understand why Oppo RX17 Pro with Snapdragon 710 and Android 8 is compatible with HDMI but Oppo Reno with Snapdragon 710 and Android 9 is not compatible. On many Android phones you simply have to plug it in and it mirrors on the TV instantly so it should be the same on Oppo, but if there is an option it should be called "Screen Streaming" on Oppo, can you see an option to activate this or any other "external display or mirroring" option maybe in the display settings ? I doubt about it but who knows ?

Yeah it's an odd one I'll give you that! And all the screen share options in the settings relate to wireless sharing and not wired.
I even tried my wife's Pixel 2 and while I can't work out how to get it to share the screen via the USB C to HDMI adapter, the TV does recognise it when I plug it in... Which isn't the case when I plug the Reno in.
Sooooo... Seems it's not supported in afraid

So there is a screen streaming option in the settings but only wireless settings ? It seems like Oppo didn't add USB-C to HDMI support or maybe it only has USB 2.0 unlike Oppo RX17 Pro and Oppo Reno 10x zoom, but USB version is'nt written anywhere even on the official Oppo Reno website page https://www.oppo.com/en/smartphone-reno/specs I will ask on Oppo's Facebook page and post here as they answer. The Pixel smartphones are nearly the only high-end Snapdragon 8xx smartphones with USB 3.0 that are not compatible with USB-C to HDMI adapters, Google disabled it on purpose because they want you to buy chromecast but they are wireless and so huge input lag in comparison to wired HDMI adapter and chromecast are even not usefull anymore on smart TVs because they already have built-in wireless smartphone screen streaming. Again, thank you for trying it @sheppy1 ! :good:

Yeah that's correct, here's what I see (screenshot attached).
DLNA and Multi Screen Interaction both onot allow wireless connectivity to supported TVs
Ah! That sounds right hence the TV detected the Pixel but didn't allow for anything to be streamed to it.
Let me know how you get on with your query to OPPO anyway and if you need anything else from me.
And you're welcome :laugh:
I tried it with the Reno 10x zoom. It works but doesn't support Netflix or some other apps. Looks geest works great except Netflix what really sucks. I tried everythimg there is to trie but cant het Netflix to work.

Any good usb c hub with hdmi and pd charging?

I've read some forums that the s5e can be picky with hubs. Any good hub out there that has hdmi other than 1080p resolution, and can charge the device at the same time?

I just got this one:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07JK9DFKH/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_uCV3EbRH1ZV23
It cost $24 and has four ports (1 x HDMI, 1 x USB 2.0 Type A, 1 x USB 3.0 (Type A), 1 x USB-C (with PD))
I have it plugged into my Tab S5e with a wired keyboard and mouse while charging using the USB-C port.
As I am typing this in Tap Talk, I have Outlook open, Amazon Shopping app open, and watching Star Trek: Enterprise on Netflix.
I am getting audio through my BT headphones.
I've also tested this with my Note 10+ 5G and it works great on both devices.

Any USB Type-C docking station made by a well known brand should work pretty well with the SGST5e
Hi, i use a adapter similar to the one gernerttl posted.
It works with a Hisense 4K TV on HDMI with 4k 30Hz but the aspect ratio is wrong. I have got black borders left and right on the TV.
Does somebody know, how to change the aspect ratio or maybe also the rsolution? I think 1080p is enough and i would like to get 60Hz for maybe playing retroarch on TV.
P.S. on an other TV it is 1080p and 60Hz but still block borders left and right.
Dex works ok
Smart View is not usable with HDMI connected.
I have personally been using this since my S8 and its been working perfectly fine for me https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07QXMNF1X
It also seems to work better with my S8 charger then with the newer Note 10+ Charger for some reason. and yes it works with my Tab S5e as well which is nice.

Question Usb 2.0 again?

Does mi11 support hdmi out via usb-c dongle or Xiaomi is still on usb 2.0 like it's the year 2000?
It's Type C 2.0
Disgusting.
I can understand for lower end phones, but not for something you market as "flagship killer"
No flagship phone on this planet comes with tech from 20 years ago
Yes, I've got Xiaomi 11
That's a shame. Mi 11 was supposed to be the one without compromise
Taking the piss to save 5$
Nice, no USB-C 3.x / no VideoOut... Come on Xiaomi... What year is it? Even OnePlus devices have 3.x now... What a shame... Next phone will be an OnePlus :/
dealbreaker

You could try DisplayLink
I'm close to buy one of these adapters. On youtube there are few videos that show how fast is that and you can play android games on TV with no lag.
Display Link doesn't even come close to direct hdmi dongle.
usb 2.0 in 2021..a disgrace. can't be called "Flagship" killer with tech from 20 years ago
