Hello, I have currently Redmi Note 8T but I think this problem is applicable to every xiaomi phone with type c port
Because Xiaomi is a prick and doesn't put 3.0+ Usb ports into their phones (even flagship) , it's impossible to connect to a monitor thru the type C port
So, I have an adaptor for usb c to hdmi, usb, power delivery, and yeah, I can't connect the phone to the TV
I searched a lot thru forums and understood that I need either usb 3.0+ or MHL compatibility. BUT my tech knowledge tells me that USB 2.0 is capabile of streaming video
SO , is there any way to make a connection thru this adaptor? Maybe I should root my phone and/or install something ?
Pls help me, I had earlier an samsung s8 and it worked fine with Dex experience and the same adaptor

Hi I recently bought the Samsung Galaxy S3 MHL/HDMI Adapter so that I can mirror my Galaxy Note II to TV.

Basically what I'm trying to do is to be able to connect simultaneously this adapter with my external HDD 500Gb.

That way I will be able to carry all my movies in the HDD and being able to play it through my mobile at TV.
Now when I connect the drive alone(non externally powered) to the mobile through USB OTG cable everything works fine.
That's the case when I connect the MHL adapter alone in the mobile. It works great.
My problem is when I try to connect BOTH the HDD and the adapter together. That way I can open my mobile navigate to my HDD and open the video file and play it at any given HDTV. But I can't find the right configuration to make it work. Now the first thing that comes into mind is a USB hub. I try to use this one I own with 3 slots I have but with no luck.
Code:

What I do is the following. I connect the HDD directly to the hub through usb. I use a usb to usb cable to power the hub. And on the third usb slot of the hub I power the MHL adapter. To the mobile goes the micro usb male cable of the MHL adapter.
Now what happens is that the MHL adapter as expected works fine, but the HDD, while it seems to power (green light on the HDD) cannot be recognized from the mobile.
I believe this happens for either 2 reasons.
First : There's no way the mobile can see the HDD through the hub this way (could an externally powered usb hub help I wonder??)
Second : I need to have a dual micro usb female to micro usb male cable (which doesn't exist??), so that I can directly connect both the HDD and the MHL adapter on the phone.
Below is a photo of the connectivity if it helps

So what do you think I'm doing wrong or what do you suggest in terms of connectivity?
Thanks in advance for your help and ask anything to clarify if I made things complicated
I'm sorry but I cannot post links because of my limited number of posts thus the "html"
I've searched and found various posts from a long time back that seem to imply it's possible but haven't been able to find anyone saying they've actually done it.
I want to be able to use an OTG cable with a usb y cable, to allow me to plug in a usb device and charger at the same time. Note I want to charge the phone itself, I am not trying to supply power to the usb device.
International HOX running CM11 latest monthly, in case it's relevant.
(I'm retiring my HOX and thinking about using it as a mini server - I want to plug in ethernet by USB adaptor to provide the network and charger to keep the phone running 24/7 )
Hi. I'm on how to connect my Dex Station (with Note 8) to my new Asus Usb C Monitor.
I tried a Piaek adapter. No go. Seems like anything made to go usb to HDMI doesn't work the other way.
There are a couple of HDMI to usb 3 converters, like inogeni but theyt are really expensive
Anyone know anything about this?

how about get an Amazon ECHO?
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?
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.
