Upgrade the Dock

Hello guys.
The 30-pin port is less to connect the charging cable and other usb devices. The problem is, there exist no dock with both functions - charging and connecting usb devices on same time.
It is possible to produce a box with usb, 30pin and hdmi exit without extra charging device ? Which pin is for which function ?
Thanks for help.
Greeting.

What you are asking is probably too specific for anyone to produce (there would be no volume demand) and it also has some technical difficulties. The tablet does not put out HDMI as such, but MHL and this needs a converter chip which is in the adaptors. It is the converter chip that needs the power supply to be connected to the adaptor. This is not specific to the Note, but any device with MHL output.

HDMI extension

Hi Experts,
i have a HDMI cable that i use to connect my HTC One X to my samsung smart TV, thts of type -
http://www.ebay.in/itm/MHL-Micro-US...1?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_203&hash=item3a85d7b7a7
Now i want to extend the wire for another 1-2 meteres.
So basically, i will need a wire that is of the type of the charger, but female to male.
Whr do i find such a wire, what is it called, what do i search for on ebay?

would probably be more reliable if you bought a mhl (male) to female hdmi, and female micro usb to charge. then you can just use whatever normal hdmi cable you want to use. if you start mixing lots of cables and extending etc you could run into problems. It could also work. But just warning you.
If you want to stick with the cable, just google for female hdmi to male hdmi and there's lots around.

A lot of the time cables are made to a certain specification. The HDMI Specification can be found here http://www.hdmi.org/manufacturer/specification.aspx
Although the HDMI Spec doesn't mention a maximum length for an HDMI cable, signal attenuation limits the length of most cables. That's why you won't find many HDMI extension cables, they just aren't recommended for any kind of quality signal use.
As for MHL (which is the cable that connects to your phone), I reckon that would suffer the same limitations as HDMI.

MHL

Doesn't the ZS570KL have support for MHL?
I just got a cable which has a USB Type-C end, and a full sized HDMI and USB Type-A on the other end... The TV does recognise that the HDMI is plugged in, and the phone gets 500mAh of power from the TV USB port... But I'm not getting any signal...

I'm interested on getting that working as well... but the fact that ASUS tell us that HDMI through MHL is not supported because of the usb type c connector, doesn't sound like the real reason. Probably not supported at hardware level? :/ I'll look into it ... any one knows what's actually the problem? Thanks

Type-C has nothing to do with it... It's probably the hardware in the phone that doesn't support it...

Usb-c 2.0 3.0, 3.1 ?

Hi, I envisage to buy the A50, but I'm wondering what really hide behind the USB-C connector. Can it output HDMI signal ? Can it connect an USB 3 key or external drive ?
Thanks for your answers !

it's usb 2.0 so it's gonna be slow Every android phone with usb c can connect usb3 flash or hard drives, it's just that read/write speed will be slow on this device.
don't have usb c to hdmi converter to test the hdmi

Connect galaxy a70 to external monitor with type c to hdmi adapter

I would like to know if galaxy a70 supports connecting hdmi monitor via usb type c to hdmi adapter or with any usb type c dock to external monitor. I want to mirror via type c cable and i am aware that there is no dex support for a70.
Can any one tried this? I don't have usb type c to hdmi adapter or type c dock to try this and wanted to buy if this is supported.
Thank you.

yes, i tried just few minutes ago connecting my device to computer but it's not supporting it's very weird Samsung not makeing stable update now days and i have ghost touch problem

Ok. This is bad. I was expected at least screen mirroring via cable on a70 but didn't happen.
I got dell usb type-c adapter and tried connecting hdmi cable to external monitor.
Nothing shown and nothing was detected except saying some usb device has connected.
For this price, should expect these minimal futures in the phone.
I don't recommend this phone even for camera and samsung one ui. Still sony fan so installed xperia home launcher even though it is not working properly.
Bluetooth is breaking a bit with head phones.
audio for receiving calls is poor.
Overall for this price, it is not a good product.

Hardware of Software
Is this a hardware feature or can be fixed with software update???

Tried it too. Doesn't work
I bought a Type C to HDMI converter. It worked on a samsung a30, note, but not on the A70. I should have gotten the cheaper A50. Might have worked there!

Can anyone update us? Is this a software or hardware issue? Has anyone successfully got it to work?

I think get a chromecast device and use screen mirroring feature in google home app and you will get a more convenient wireless display !!!

I think everybody knows about chrome of course but u end up using urr mobile hotspot data which is never unlimited like the unlimited data u can get reasonable an the point is cellphone distributers should include Mhl because its free to watch anything on your phone an it doesnt use up ure wifi I think carriers are catching on and are fishneting with cellphone distributers n there trying to ban it or make it obselete because they will lose money think about it watching all the movies u want from your phone and mivie channels unlimited with Mhl hdmi.an it sucks itvreally does.cause u either have to spend a fortune getting a device with mhl or the mid range nice cell phones with bigger screens normally dont have mhl

Maybe you have to use the official Samsung one - https://www.mobilefun.co.uk/official-samsung-galaxy-a70-usb-c-to-hdmi-adapter-74551

A70 connectivity problem
That's because its usb C 2.0 only the mobiles with 3.0+ can connect to HDMI

Can you charge through a USB Hub though?

Queried this with Samsung, and this was their response. Sadly it's a no go!

For this price, they should have given usb 3.0 or higher.
Store keeper told that it is possible but later i understand that meant screen mirror.

Can a custom rom add support for this?
