Tronsmart announed their wireless gamepad for the TV Box and othe platforms:
Tronsmart Mars G01. $29.99
Platforms included: Android devices (tablet, smartphone, tv box) with USB or OTG, PS3, and PC.
Unlike other gamepads, it chooses the connecting way of 2.5GHz, so the range can be up to 30 feet. And it will be easier to connect.
Dual-motor ("Our Dual-motor technology fully supports titles capable of giving vibration and motion feedback while gaming for a fully immersive experience") is the hightlight.
Double players supported.
Come with OTG line.
PC users needed to download drive.
The pity is that it keeps the non-OTG phones and tablets away.

So far I've used my Note II to host a mouse, a flash drive, and an SDXC card reader. I'm curious to know what the limits to its capabilities are. USB game pads/controllers? Hubs? Maybe even USB Ethernet adapters for wired usage?
I can update this post with a list of devices and device types that work, as we find them.
The PS3 Dual Shock 3 sixaxis controller works like a charm with GTA3. Just plug it in via the normal USB cord routed through a USB host adapter and you're good to go after hitting the pair button on the controller. Use the X button to accelerate, the square for braking/reverse, triangle to get in the car and circle to fight. The action is as smooth as it is on the normal console version of the game with no lags at all.
Here is what I know:
I can use a Samsung USB-to-HDMI adapter to display the screen on a TV while charging the phone. You can hook up a PS3 controller to the GN2 with a USB-OTG cable. I also know that you can connect certain devices to the GN2 via USB-OTG cable and a USB hub to charge the GN2 while using the peripheral.
What I would like to do:
I would like to be able to run an emulated two-player game on my GN2 while displaying on an HDMI connected TV, and having two controllers work at the same time for simultaneous two player action (ex. Street Fighter 2 Turbo for SNES). I already have a couple PS3 controllers as well as two generic USB PC gaming controllers that I would like to use.
Basically, is the USB port on the GN2 capable of being used to simultaneously charge the phone, and run the HDMI adapter and two USB controllers? If not, what about just running the HDMI adapter and charging the phone, then run two controllers via Bluetooth? Also, I see there is a smart dock (EDD-S20JWE) that looks to have all of the functionality I'm interested in, can anyone confirm this?
Thanks all.
I have never thought of that! I am also interested though!

I actually just tried this very setup the other day: HDMI out + PS3 controller. In theory it should be awesome... But I found that the HDMI out is super laggy (both in terms of framerate, and a pretty significant delay between what shows on the phone screen vs. the TV screen). I tried it on both a TV, and a PC monitor, and it was the same. I posted about it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2098948
It made every game I tried unplayable. I didn't even try a fighting game, but I'd imagine it would be even worse.
It makes the setup pretty unusable in my opinion, which has me pretty bummed out because I was really excited about it.
I'll just stick to GameKlip + PS3 controller for now.
I am new to the tablet theme and have a new Samsung tab s. It plays android games really well. is it possible for me to use it as a console and hook it up to my TV and use a xbox 360 wireless controller on it to play android games? I don't see why it would be any different in the nvidia shield
It is and it is not different from the Nvidia Shield tablet.
One of the biggest differences is that the Shield has a HDMI . There are also tegra only games that will not work on any other processor without root and some work. The last difference is that nvidia made a console mode for the shield to make navigation and use easier using only a bluetooth controller.
With that said of you have a controller only game/emulator you like and either a micro usb dock with video out or a micro usb to video cable, then yes you can use your galaxy tab s as a console.
Basically the answer is yes it is possible but no it is not the same as a device/os designed to do it.
Hmm...after doing some investigation.... how would I plug in both a usb xbox 360 wireless adapter and a hdmi adpator to plug into the TV? Or is it only one or the other(tv versus controller)?
Personally I would recommend getting a bluetooth controller. There may be a way to use a usb based controller and video out at the same time but I do not know it if it exists.
You will also need one of these. A mhl - hdmi connector.

I thought a central list of Mobile Docking Stations that are confirmed to work with your Windows 10 Phone to enable Continuum would be a good central information repository for anyone looking for a dock for their respective phone. Please post Phone Brand & Model , then Post a list of dongles or docks that you have personally tested / owned and can confirm work. See my example. This will make searching the thread easier for someone.

Actually I returned it to the Windows store ... I liked the interface - but I didn't really like the limited nature of the apps that are available for it ... really it is too bad - you would think that Microsoft would learn from their mistakes (a la windows RT and CE) ..
The desktop interface without the ability to truly multitask is really, really limiting. So it ended up a bit of a frustrating experience. Oh well - I have moved on .... I currently have the Essential PH-1 ... :laugh:

The MS Display Dock would work for a USB C device. But, if you don't need KB or mouse, then any device with Wn10 on it will cast. Even an 830 will cast to my TCL Roku tv.
For the HP Elite x3, besides the official dock, I bought an O-shaped USB-C dongle from a brand called Baseus. Doesn't work all the time, especially from power-on/restart; but when it does, it works great. Comes with a Type-C port with PD too, so virtually no port lost.
At the time I bought it, I requested to the store clerk that I would like to test it with my device. Then I did my "magic trick", and she was in awe.

UGREEn USB-C to HDMI hub
UGREEn USB-C to HDMI hub from aliexpress works fine, runs a bit hot though
Hey everyone,
I recently got a Nokia 6.1 aka 6 (2018) and was curious how good USB-C support is on current gen. Android phones.
So i tried using various USB-C adapters at home and at work to connect to different kinds of periphery in order to figure it out.
What worked for me:
Using my Dell USB-C adapter (DA-200) with Ethernet, HDMI, USB, VGA:
USB: works, can use mouse / usb drive / keyboard / audio interface, the usual USB OTG stuff
HDMI + VGA: not working, tried multiple displays, types of cables
Ethernet: Seems to kind of "work", powers up and LEDs on the interface signal an enabled uplink, however cannot configure the interface without root apparently
Using other various adapters ranging from USB-C to USB / Ethernet / HDMI / card reader to just USB-C to HDMI, i never was able to get HDMI working.
Now, it seems that there is a feature called "DP Alt mode" which i couldn't verify for any of the adapters i tested. It seems that the support for this mode is rather spotty among USB-C adapters.
Looking at the Qualcomm product brief for the 630 SoC, it seems to support "External Displays" and "DisplayPort". In contrast, the only thing the 835 SoC (which is confirmed to work with USB-C to HDMI adapters) lists additionally is "HDMI" support. (however it doesn't even list external display support, which is odd)
So i was wondering, is this what my adapters are missing to get HDMI to work?
And how can i figure out which phones even support video out using USB-C? DP Alt mode is never listed in the specs of any phone, and i don't know if it's in the SoC specs
IMO it is mostly a gimmick to be able to use HDMI with a phone nowadays, as other wireless screen sharing options work just fine for most use-cases, but i'm curious to see how cross-compatible this USB-C hardware is.
EDIT: just found out that apparently, in order to make a phone DP alt mode compatible, it has to support full USB 3.1 over USB-C, which the Nokia 6.1 apparently doesn't, according to spec sheets, it only supports USB 2.0 over USB-C. So i suppose it's not possible by the hardware design of the phone.
Did someone try a MHL adapter. They sometimes work on low spec phones. I sadly misplaced mine
Nokia 6.1 doesn't support wired video output (no MHL, no Alt-DP, no anything else).
The only option is the wireless standard Miracast (or the proprietary Chromecast).

I'm incredibly late to this, and this is one of my first posts, how does one get Miracast working on the Nokia 6.1? For reference I haven't gotten the phone yet (my parents are helping me to afford it and are giving it to me for Christmas).
I have tried usb c to gig ethernet and works automatic, it is based on the AX88179 chip it works in pixelexperience (possibly in the rest of roms)
(I know the topic is old but i leave it as a note)
How about this vod??
