Desktop mode? - Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers

Has anyone gotten desktop mode working? I haven't been able to with any adapter that worked with my mate 10 pro...

Yeah works using a cheap Amazon usb c to hdmi for me..

Yep, cheapest USB-HDMI that I could find on Amazon worked fine.

Yep £10 adapter from Amazon works a charm although one thing I've noticed is that Excel/Word will not work on there without a 365 licence which is a little annoying.

I got it working using an amazon adaptor but the quality of the picture is very suspect for me. Looking at some really nice photos I have taken on there doesn't do them any justice really.

It's most likely because you're viewing on a 1080/4K monitor and not the phones native resolution which is what it outputs at. (Pretty daft if you ask me) Also someone mentioned if viewing on a TV that changing the input settings of the HDMI to PC improves quality too.

Most of the apps including Microsoft excel mobile do not work in landscape mode in Huawei desktop mode. Not sure what is the plan from Huawei to close the gap of compatibility issue.

Allrighty... Guess I was trying to be too fancy by using USB C docks. Though they worked on the Mate.

I wanted to do something like this, so that the phone gets docked into an already setup dock (HDMI/USB Mouse Keyboard) rather than just plugged in to a wire. But couldn't see anything that would fit the bill. Considering making something myself to solve the problem
I'm using something similar to this
https://www.amazon.co.uk/ARKTEK-Cha...F8&qid=1525091973&sr=8-24&keywords=usb+c+hdmi
and thinking of modifying this
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Youbeautif...=1525092036&sr=1-5&keywords=clear+phone+stand
So would be a case of mounting the USB C port through the bottom of the stand and then fixing the ports themselves to the bottom base of it.

docking station

hi everyone there some one who can show me a good docking station, maybe with the slot for the charging of a second battery? ?
i dont know where u from but i've bought this one on amazon.de

it's solid and the HD2 fits in perfect, but it has no slot to load a second

(However ignore the 'magic slip mat' which claims to hold your phone through stickiness. It works well with some phones but not with our beloved
I use this one, and its perfect in every way.

That URL is for an HTC Desire...
This one is even with sound. But I don't have it yet and there could be a problem with the US t-mobile HD2.

For those people who want to plug in headphones to listen to music on their phone. However, I saw this charger a number of months ago, and I remember people who purchased it were complaining that they weren't getting stereo sound from attached headphones, but Mono.
And, to boot, the ad states plainly "This cradle will not fit T-Mobile HD2 phone." This is most likely because the US and European versions of the HD2 are not exactly the same size. Luckily, there's a 30 day money back guarantee...

If you have a previous iPod dock, you can convert it using this cable.

[Q] Dock

Hi, is there a dock available for the HTC Mozart?
I haven't seen an official one, so was wondering if there are any 3rd party items.
Cheers!
Wouldn't have thought so due to the position of the microUSB port
There's the "HTC 7 Mozart Cradle" (h**p://mrgadget.com.au/catalog/mrgadget-htc-mozart-cradle-p-8906.html) from "Mr.Gadget" (Australian store), however note the little cable which needs to be plugged in to the side, due to the location of the USB port.
i think ill mount some like this next to my desk, since ill have to manualy plug in the cable anyway

Night clock stand
Hi all
I would love to get a night clock stand that the phone could rest in in landscape orientation and charge the device. It would make use of the many "night clock" apps in the market place.
Cheers

Hi,
Would love that too, just wondering if horizontal dock for DesireZ could be used, since it also has the usb port on the side and the battery should be the same as well, which is BA S450.
Not able to post links yet but just google it up.
Horizontal Dock
Hi,
There is one just show up recently on eBay
just search for "htc mozart twin dock"
This will be perfect for Night Clock Stand
cheers

Check eBay, it comes up with a few good docks, sadly most of them are from china which would take hell of a long time to reach your house .

I'm kinda meh about all those. Even the dock, with no HDMI or some other connectors I don't see the point to it.
I'm unhappy with the cases out now and if this case is slim enough and has magnet lock and close and some sort of stand mechanism, I'd pay 50ish bucks for it. The cases out now are pretty good for their ten dollar price tags but I want something nicer.

It's called business strategy. No HDMI out on the device or the dock means you have to by the Q. Stupid, yeah, but business wise, that's how the game works. Why put in HDMI when we can charge them $300 to stream everything?
I would love to purchase the Q, but I just spent $200 on this tablet. I bought it because I wanted something cheap yet good (which I got). The only way i'll get the Q is if someone else buys it for me (HA!) or I win it in a competition (....HAHAHAHA! Yeah, right, I NEVER win anything, lol).
But yeah, so there's your business reason for no HDMI.

POGO wouldn't support HDMI anyway, not enough pins... besides the whole point of not having HDMI is that you will be able to do it wirelessly.
Should start seeing this very soon using WiFi direct and the Miracast protocols. The hardware is already there to do it in the Nexus 7

Has anybody found a *tiny* USB-C OTG adapter?

With my Note 4, I could keep a tiny OTG adapter (pictured in the link below) in my wallet to give access to USB devices...
https://ae01.alicdn.com/kf/HTB19g5f...TG-Adapter-Converter-into-Flash-Drive-For.jpg
I can't seem to find a similar device for use with the Note 8.
Has anybody found anything like this?
Cheers,
Steve.
Perhaps not as tiny but the Note 8 comes with an OTG adapter used for transferring data from an older phone to a new one.

Yeah, I know - I was really wondering why there aren't any OTG adapters in the nano flat style. That's what I'm really after.
THIS is the smallest I've seen.
Well, there is another but the listing just seems a little dodgy - Clicky
I bought a usb 2.0 to C OTG adapter which did not work at all, and a 3.1 A to C which does so that may need to be a consideration beyond just the physical size.

I would have gone with the second one if the picture had actually been of a USB-C interface, rather than Micro USB.
If it can't fit in my wallet, then attaching it to my key-ring (with minimal size/bulk) is a reasonable alternative.
I keep both of these in my wallet. Type C to micro USB and a micro USB OTG adaptor.
Got them from Gearbest and/or Banggood.

Does Realme X2 Pro Support HDMI Out

Hi There,
Wanting to know if the Realme X2 Pro supports Video Output through the use of a USB-C to HDMI adapter.
Thanks
I just tested it, and it does not work.
From what I understand, it has USB 3.0 and not 3.1 needed for HDMI out.

I bought one from marktplaats, a Dutch platform where you can buy used products. I use a HP traveldock. It is sadly very bad, as it mirrors your screen and it has an awfull screen ratio. You will have really big black bars on your monitor, giant! Sorry for my late response, but I hope I helped
could you please share url for that specific display link product ?
