Samsung Dex Software toggle - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions & Answers

I would love it if some devs could get the samsung dex software toggle from the tab s4 and implement it into the s8.

Pie has software Dex enabled, it will work with any hdmi adapter. If you don't want Pie (I hate it myself), you can find Dex enabled adapters for as little as 25 bux on Amazon. I'd recommend these adapters, because they allow charging and cost the same as non-dex charging adapters. Here's a link to the one I use:

(Q) can I use MHL HDMI adapter via 30 pin galaxy tab to micro USB adapter

Hi ,
I wanted to use my galaxy s2 MicroUsb HDMI MHL adapter and OTG USB cable with Galaxy tab "7" with this 30 pin galaxy tab to micro USB adapter.
Any help regarding usb host and hdmi capabilities will be appreciated.
HDMI is supported via Samsung Media Dock. Could have googled for that. There is no listed USB OTG support listed for it, but there is a Keyboard for it, which could be indicative of UDB OTG support, at least of a proprietary nature. Both of these accessories require the standard charging cable to provide power during use.

I bought Mhl adapter because i was going to buy galaxy note. Then at the last moment i changed my mind and bought galaxy tab 7 t-mobile. My media dock as also arrived. But still waiting for 30 pin con to mic usb adapter and mini hdmi to hdmi adapter. I will let every body know if any thing is discovered.

As it stands, HDMI is available through the Dock as mentioned, but there is no USB OTG support. Keyboards can be connected to the 30-pin (Samsung keyboard) or through Bluetooth (third-party keyboards).
There was a project to get USB Host support going, but it seems to have stopped. You can try the OTG gear since there are many variants of Tab and many ROMs etc, but I don't think you'll get anywhere with them since the stock software doesn't seem to support anything apart from the Samsung official accessories.
I am working on getting USB OTG working, but it wont happen anytime soon.
You cant just plug in anything that fits and expect it to work. The Galaxy Tab 10.1 30-pin to USB and 30-pin to SD are for that device.
so in conclusion, it never work?
I was thinking of using OTG + USB to RCA cable rather than HDMI...
I am using GT 7.0 plus
see if someone can answer?
is the OTG P1000 USB working on the plus model?
thks!

[Q] Does anyone know of any video out cords to standard av port for the galaxy note

i am trying to connect my galaxy note to my Infiniti g37 nav screen which has standard av input i was able to do this with my previous jail broken iphone but i have not been able to find any cords that will plug into mhl for standard av. Does anybody know of a way to do this or a place i can buy this type of cord i have seen a way to do a lengthy conversion process with mhl to hdmi out, hdmi to av converter box ,av cables to video in, but that's allot of cordage to try to squeeze into my center console and none of the converter boxes connect to car power port and would require an additional power adapter. so again to restate im looking for an easy way to connect my note to for video out to my av in device

HDMI adapter

I brought a MHL to HDMI adapter and I do not get a picture from it with my i9305 LTE
When I connect/disconnect I get a toast message to say HDMI connected/disconnected. and the phone charges.
When I connect a i9300 phone to the HDMI adapter it works OK.
Has anyone else had this problem?
Some early ones (9300) are wired differently and our 9305 will not work
Is there a specific adapter for the i9305 or have they removed the functionality

11-pin MHL-HDMI Adapter/Dongle
The Samsung Galaxy S III and Galaxy Note II use a connector that is similar to the original 5-pin MHL-HDMI adapter/dongle, but it uses 11-pins in order to achieve a few functional improvements over the 5-pin design.
It supports the use of USB and MHL simultaneously. (Note that the new Samsung 11-pin MHL-HDMI adapter also has a USB On-The-Go port).
Samsung’s Galaxy S III/ Note 2 can power the MHL-HDMI adapter (when used with a non-MHL-compatible-TV). Although this can theoretically also be done with the standard 5-pin micro-USB connector, the Galaxy S III's 11-pin connector is believed to be the first smartphone that supports this functionality.

OK so I checked and the model I have is 11 pin
EPL-3FHUBEGSTD
Which is the one you linked too.
Have you checked the USB debugging in advanced settings
I just checked mine today for the first time since I bought it from Amazon about 2 weeks ago. Cost me £9 - works fine. Although sometimes, it does lag a bit.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00A2OBO6S/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00
I have tried with USB debugging on and off. Its usually on for dev purposes.
I spoke to Samsung who suggested I have a faulty MHL.
I have just had another thought though. I am running Nova Launcher, maybe touchwiz is required. I will give it another try tomorrow.
I was right, change back to touchwiz and the HDMI adapter works.
Thanks for the help
Do hdmi works on aosp custom rom?
no Samsung mhl is proprietary the 11 pins make it unique compared to standard mhl ports. as far as I know I have not heard of any aosp rom that has mhl enabled or working
Any luck?
Can anyone recommend a cheap mhl hdmi adapter from eBay?

WIRED TV out for Huawei Mate 10 lite (MHL or Slimport?)

Hello!
Has anyone tried any MHL or Slimport adaptors in this device for wired connection to a HD TV!?
I currently have an RNE-L23 and I am willing to purchase one of this but Im not sure if they'll work.
Thanks in advance.
im pretty sure these standards dont exist in usb type c adapters, any usb c to hdmi adapter should work fine, maybe look at something that is compatible with dex
Why do you focus on MHL ? I bought an affordable USB-C hub (20e), I so far only tested it on a VGA monitor with an adapter. Everything was fine. That's great a smartphone less expensive than Samsung Dex ones offers such feature.
Hello! i do not mind what kind of tech is. I just want to know if the Mate 10 lite can be connected to a HDTV using any wire or dock so I do not have to buy a TV Box for my Kodi.
It would be nice to know which ones work on the Mate 10 Pro.
I ordered one from Amazon UK, this wants to work (I see the Desktop Mode) starting up on the TV but then it loses signal and starts searching for a signal. I see the output on the screen for a fraction of a second and then it goes blank again and starts searching for Video Signal.
The one I bought was this (Which is going to have to be returned): Amazon £9.99 USB C Hub with HDMI
Do you mean to plug phone into tv? Usb c to HDMI cable works but can't charge at same time
No need for a hub
Hi, I have the same question but Huawei Mate 10 Lite don't have USB type C, it has MicroUsb.
Bought a Y cable, with USB c on one side and HDMI and USB A on the other and the phone can be charged in desktop mode.
I have a usb-c dock (amazon) and a usb-c to HDMI wire. I can charge at the same time the phone and I can use usb mouse and keyboard too.
It was less than 7 euro, btw.
Lite version might not have Desktop mode or USB TV-out at all.

Note 9 as a Games Console

I'd really like to see a video or just feedback from owners who have used this with a USB-C to HDMI with wired or wireless controller to play games. It should be possible with an adapter such as product code: B0756Q94HV on Amazon (LC-dolida USB C Hub, Type C to HDMI 4K Adapter with 2 USB 3.0 Ports SD/TF Card Reader) (I can't post links yet)
UPDATE: I ordered the product above from Amazon (USB-C to HDMI) which arrived this morning - I can confirm that on Samsung S8 when plugged into HDMI display that Fortnite loads but then shuts down and repeats. If you enable "Dex Labs" experimental features, it allows you to put it in full screen on HDMI and then works correctly.
Still unsure on the Bluetooth game controller however.
