hi folks
Is it possible to screen mirror image from my phone (SII 4.0.4 ) to a Samsung 32C5000 TV via LAN ? I'm looking for fomething like screenshare or smartview , btw these do not working with my tv. Allshare doesn;t have any of these options just playing files. It would be really cool to play virtua tennis / nes games with usb controller on the tv.
I'm also interested in this. But I have a Samsung Smart TV Series 8. I have tried searching all over, but I never found a way...

You could just get an mhl cable???
The idea is to use the gamepad in the microUSB port with an OTG adapter so MHL isn't an option. Also wireless offers some form of freedom meaning I'm not limited to using cables.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dancingpixelstudios.sixaxiscontroller bluetooth ps3 controller and mhl?
Currently I have a Logitech Dual Action which is USB cabled but I am considering about buying that ps3 controller.
Can you tell me what's the difference between these two adapters?
1. www.ebay.com/itm/MHL-Micro-USB-Male...Phone_PDA_Cables_Adapters&hash=item2a1e2ed2ac
2. http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Black-M..._MobilePhoneDataCables_JN&hash=item41729ff31c
Number 1 looks right
Number 2 is an adapter to turn the s3's micro USB port into an s2's, as Samsung changed the way mhl worked on s3 so you couldn't use s2 mhl cable
Just so you're aware mhl requires stock ROM and the cable must be connected to a power source as well to work.
Hmm ,.I think I'll buy the first but what if I decide to change my phone? Will it work with another Android S3 or maybe some HTC dunno ?
No problem regarding firmware as I am not a fan of custom roms.
The cable won't work on s3 as the cable is 5 pins and s3 is something like 12 but there's adapters available like number 2
Screen mirroring is possible
screen mirroing is capable in phones Galaxy s3 and above and it can be easily ported in galaxy s2 if neatROM develpoers thinks its a worthy feature like they did in feature (Multi - Window) which was also supported in phones Galaxy s3 and above...
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:

Cable Matters cDock USB-C Smartphone Dock
This one works excellent with my 950 XL
Cable Matters cDock USB-C Smartphone Dock with 4K 60Hz Video and Charging for Samsung Galaxy Note 9 / Note 8, Galaxy S9+ / S9 / S8+ / S8, LG G5 / V20, HTC10 / U11, Microsoft Lumia 950 / 950XL and More

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
So I purchased the Verizon LTE Tab S4. I have a Dex station already set up at the house which works great with my Note 8. However, when I plug my Tab S4 in I get an error stating "Samsung dex not available while cover opened."
Have any other Dex power users run across this? If so, have you figured out a way to disable this limitation?
I'm a soft tpu case kinda person and hate case covers. and so disappointed that I have to drop another $60-$150 for a case just so I can use dex at the house.
Additionally disappointed that they didn't make the tablet screen a keyboard/trackpad for when the HDMI is used for Dex.
I'm currently using DeX without any case without issues. Now I do have a bluetooth mouse and keyboard, but I do not have an HDMI connection right now.

Yes, same here. Dex on the tablet works fine (landscape only). The issue is when you try to use an external monitor.

I think you are probably using one of those custom USB-C to HDMI adapters that triggered dex on the S8/S9. When i used one of those, i got the error you are getting.
You need to use a regular adapter and it will work fine without the need for the book cover. Tested this myself as i have both types of adapters.

I'm confused. The "trigger" for the S8/S9/Note8 is that the USB -> HDMI adapter has to be powered (to power the phone). Even the DexPad won't work if the power supply is unplugged.
The new Tab S4 and Note 9 no longer have the power requirement to trigger Dex Mode. so connecting any simple Type C to HDMI adapter will give you the option to trigger Dex.
Could you link the model/type of adapter that you're able to use to trigger Dex on an external monitor? ALSO, is your Tab S4 plugged into the $150 keyboard (As the hard contacts appear to enable Dex to be mirrored to a monitor).
Went to BestBuy and tried one of their type-C to HDMI 4k adapters, and just like you said, it works perfectly! I was even able to use the tablet as a huge touchpad.

Would you mind to share the adapter model you are using?. I need to find in the UK.
The one I have, show me the message "... cover opened" everytime I try to activate DEX function. However, it works perfectly as mirror.

You want to use a plain vanilla USB-C to HDMI adaptor.
The one you have is for Samsung S8/S9 DeX and you do not need that capability. Unfortunately the one I have is no longer listed on Amazon here in the US. The only identifying mark is "Volt + tech" with the + plus sign above the "tech" portion.
I talked to Samsung support about Dex on an external monitor being blocked I got this reply.
"This model number EJ-FT830UBEGUJ is the one that allows all the feature to work on your Galaxy Tab S4. ^Marc"
Marc is giving the model number for the Tab S4 keyboard cover. Samsung Dex has now been blocked unless it detects the user has purchased the expensive accessory, thought once that's happened Dex is unlocked, so you don't need to keep the keyboard attached.

I have no idea where you got this incorrect information. I can use DeX on HDMI from my Tab S4 without the keyboard cover. In fact, I do not have the keyboard cover. And when connected by HDMI one can use the TAB S4 as a large trackpad.

As I said, I talked to Samsung support and that is what they said on the matter.
Unlike most people replying here I've actually checked what works and not said random stuff about adaptors.
This is what I know after experimenting with two Dex devices, one of which is a blocked Tab S4.
1) The Tab S4 can run Dex locally, it exits Dex instantly when any HDMI adapter is connected.
2) There's no difference between makes of adapter or if they're powered.
3) An unblocked Dex capable device starts Dex when it detects an external monitor and becomes a track-pad.
4) People in forums report owning an official cover unlocks the Tab S4 even when the cover is no longer attached.
5) The advice from the official Samsung support is to buy a keyboard cover to enable features.
I'd be be interested in talking to people who have bricked Tab S4 desktops and are about to attach a keyboard for the first time.
I'd also like to know about people who can use Dex on an EXTERNAL MONITOR without buying accessories. When and where were your devices sold?

I've no idea why you're disagreeing with what other people have said, they are absolutely 100% correct. If you have one of the third party devices that enabled DeX on an S8 for example, the Tab S4 will complain about a cover. This is what happened with my Tab S4 and the old adapter I had for my S8+. I bought a new 3rd party adapter ("7 in 1 USB-C multi function") from Amazon and no longer get that message, DeX just works on an external monitor as it should. No cover, no keyboard needed.

Hi,
I have the official keyboard cover, and I have a non official USBC HDMI hub.
I cannot launch dex mode on an external monitor. But it works perfectly in mirroring mode.
This non official USBC HDMI hub works perfectly with my galaxy S9 on dex mode on a external monitor.
I spoke (a lot) with samsung customer service, and I had different answers.... as :
-if it works with the galaxy S9, it should work with galaxy tab S4
-Dex mode will only work with the official samsung usbc hdmi hub (99$)...
-we do not now, because this product is new, so we do not have information...
As a result, I still cannot use my usbc-hdmiu hub, and I do not want to buy another...

You need to simply purchase a simple USB-C to HDMI plug. That is it. No $99 USB-C HDMI hub necessary. The one I got was USD$17 from Amazon. You also do not need a cover. I do not have one on my Tab S4 and it plugs into the HDMI and works as a touchpad with DeX on the HDMI monitor. I have zero issues with the inexpensive USB-C to HDMI plug running DeX on the HDMI monitor.

SODIAL USB C Hub, Type C Hub to HDMI, 4 in 1 Combo with 2USB3.0 and PD Multifunction....... on Amazon..... Half the price of official adapter. Samsung Dex works perfectly on 46 inch non smart TV, it is powered with your tab S4 power adapter, and you can attach two external hard drives and mount them with Paragon. Got a brilliant 46 desktop. It was the third adapter I tried and the only one that didn't give me the dreaded message 'Samsung Dex not available while cover opened 'the moment you attach it.
I got my cable yesteday from Amazon. DeX mode works perfectly with it.

I have a USBC to HDMI adapter, and it allows a Note 9 to go into DEX mode. However when I plug a galaxy tab S4 into it, it EXITS Dex mode with the stupid "cover cannot be open" nonsense. This is just craziness. I really really wanted to like DEX, but at this point I have to give up and say, it's a load of marketing rubbish. Samsung: It's not up for you to decide when I want my device in DEX mode. Take a note from Microsoft, they don't tell users when their tablets should be in tablet mode.
BTW, I plugged these galaxy devices into a Samsung thunderbolt monitor j791, Samsung's premier USBC capable monitor, and NOTHING. WTF is this? How can Samsung not even support their own devices through USBC?
Use a magnet and place it near the USB-C connection. This will trick the tablet that the cover is closed.
Have you played with the "Auto start when HDMI is connected" setting?View attachment 4744136

Helped a friend buy this. We were watching movies via wireless screen sharing (miracast) and it was OK but kept stuttering and dropping WiFi.
So I suggested getting an hdmi usb-c cable with power charging (4k). I was very surprised when it didn't work! Tried everything including downloading dex to the phone.
Connected the same cable to my s8 plus and it worked beautifully (dex) !
So why not the Samsung a50? Never experienced this on any phone before and have been connecting to TV this way for 10 years.
Need a different /special cable? Or no go on this device and can only do via wireless?
Thx
I haven't ever used HDMI mirroring on a phone but as far as my knowledge of Type-C goes, you need USB 3.1 to support all the alternate modes including HDMI and DisplayPort. The A50 comes with USB 2.0, so there is no possibility of getting Display-Out from the USB port.

thanks for that explanation, I'm guessing this the same reason we can't use type c 3.5mm jacks?
by that respect, pretty much any type c 3.1 can output through hdmi?
Thanks,
Scott
Type-C as a standard is a mess. I don't think you are required to support alternate modes in USB 3.1, so I suppose there are USB 3.1 Type-C devices that still don't output video.
Regarding audio, there is Audio Accessory Mode for Type-C and the concept of active and passive headphones/dongles, so not all dongles will work.
samsung A50 simply doesnt support dex. only s8 s9 s10 and Note 8 9 10.
getting usb c to hdmi wouldnt solve your problem.
there is how ever one possible solution, which is the universal android usb to hdmi cable. it uses ezcast app (same app for wireless). mirroring your phone but wont display netflix etc on your tv.
Samsung A20
So, I know that the A-series doesn't support DeX, but I was hopeful that it might still have the capability to project to a lapdock (like the HP Elite X3 or Nexdock 2) via USB-C and display even crudely (so, not the fully optimized DeX-ified desktop mode, but maybe just a mirror?), ideally allowing for keyboard/touchpad input as well. Basically I'm trying to come up with a solution for my mom whose company is phasing out the laptop she's accustomed to working on in favor of these lousy Samsung A20s, which she's gonna have a lot of trouble seeing and interfacing with on such a tiny screen and without a full keyboard (she's in her 60s). The lapdock thing is the only idea I've been able to come up with (though, it sucks that the A20s don't support DeX), but I'm open to any other suggestions if you think the lapdock route is a dead end. Thanks!

The A50 doesn't support MHL(display out protocol) at all for some reason, which is quite disappointing. At least wireless display casting works well.
Has anyone gotten DEX to work? I cannot seems to get it to work at all.

dex here as well
yep works with my lapdock +tv/monitor
hi,
I still have my HP Elite x3 Lap Dock i used with my s10 5g.
using the cable that came with the lap dock its fine.
might be worth trying a different cable. My other lead i got of amazon a usb c to hdmi also works with tv or monitor
but can confirm it works.

Samsung's DeX page says it only works with the Note 10, is that the version you're getting success with or do you have an older version that worked with other Galaxy phones? If the latter, is it available somewhere?
I can get it to work using a generic USB C to HDMI adapter, and a USB C with PD hub plugging them in to my TV and also monitor.
I got DeX to work with DeX Pad, but I had to have the phone open. It wouldn't fit in the connector properly (I think) because the case was too big. It wasn't a good experience with the phone open half hanging off the pad.
I can't get DeX for Mac to work. The app auto-launches on my Mac when I connect the USB, but I get a message saying to reconnect the USB or reinstall the driver.
DEX works fine on mine. If it could help you, i found a solution for the HDMI (connected / disconnected) problem.
Step by step here, very simple...try!
