Hello everyone. I bought a nexus 10 a few days ago from a friend,he barely used it. However i cant seem to be able to connect the device with a usb flash disk. I bought the otg cable from ebay,and it works with a mouse like a charm. I tried connecting 2 flash usb and external hdd that get power externally..They all give me the same result at nexus media importer: after waiting like 5-10 secs "connecting..." then "waiting for media...",i get
"timed out in waitDeviceReady()". I can't seem to find anything about it on google. Any help/advice please?
Also,the usb/hdd have a small led light on them which is supposed to "blink" when they are connected and the connection is ok. When i connect them to n10, they "blink" at first for 2-3 secs, then they stay on/off.
I had better luck with non-Fat16/32 formatted OTG storage devices when I installed "USB OTG Helper [root]" although you require root. Just a suggestions.
With USB powered harddrives (not self powered), I read a number of posts indicating people had issues due the N10 not being able to supply the power requirements. Some even mentioned that their HDD worked but only when the N10 had 75% or higher charge.
Hello,
My husband has an Acer 500 that's about 2 years old and I have an Acer A110 that's about 10 months old. I hooked up an HDMI cable from the A110 to the tv the other night, and it didn't work. I've only used the HDMI port twice before, but I have noticed that the battery port is awfully wiggly and frequently when the charger is plugged it, it's often a poor fit and not really connected/charging. Anyway, I did find that if I wiggled the HDMI cable, a snowy picture is very briefly delivered to the tv.
Then today, I discovered that the HDMI port doesn't work now on the 500. This we've used quite a bit. I switched cables, switched to different HDMI ports, and tried on 3 different tvs. Nada. Then I hooked up a computer via HDMI to the tv and it works just fine. So it doesn't appear to be the cable or tv, yes?
I can only conclude that the HDMI ports are a weak aspect of the Acer tablets, but obviously I don't know for sure. The one is still under warranty, I think, so I'll be returning it for repair. But I'm wondering if anyone else has had similar problems or if anyone has alternative ideas as to what might be going on? We haven't had any power outages or anything, and the tablets aren't left plugged into the tv unless we're watching it.
Thx.

I thought it can make sense to list here alternative options to use the continuum feature. Here is what I use:
- Aukey USB-C to HDMI adapter
- Supremery BT Keyboard within Touchpad
Good to see alternatives are working fine
Monoprice USB-C to HDMI adapter: works for video, but flaky connection. I also don't get any audio output.
Aukey USB-C to VGA adapter: the phone recognizes a USB device is connected, but doesn't work.
Microsoft Display Dock: Works well without issue of course. However, a few comments - it doesn't work without a power connection. It also doesn't like the Google dual-port USB-C charger and refuses to power up from that (despite the Google charger being capable of 5V / 3A just like the Microsoft one).
Works without issues with Apple USB-C Digital AV Multiport Adapter for Macbook 12 Retina. And does not need necessarily current.
Continuum works great with the "Microsoft Wireless Display Adapter" too, sound and vision go to the TV/Monitor and phone turns into Trackpad. Just like using the dock but less hassle and wires.
I also tried my Roku3, it works but can be a little flaky
It dosn't work with XCSOURCE USB-C 56k ohm to HDMI /USB 3.1 Multiport Adapter for MacBook LT11
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/311536382296
USB port works great...flash drive and keyboard works smooth...BUT HDMI dosn't work at all
Everytime when HDMI cable is inserted phone throw an error with dosn't recognized USB...
Hello,
I also bought the Aukey -C USB to HDMI adapter.
But on 2 Samsung tv , I have problems of disconnection and resolution.
If anyone can help me ....
Thank you in advance
i bought vtin vs1-vvc9h from amazon. Video works.. But i could not make audio to work.
I also bought vicTsing mx-vs1-PCL005B from amazon too. And video worked but audio did not.
I know audio works on ms hd500 with same monitor and cables
The Microsoft wireless Display adaptor v2 works well in continuum mode unless you use 5GHz wifi, in which case it is extremely poor, sound and display stutters like there is no tomorrow.
My Surface pro 2 (normal extended display) has the same issues connecting to it with 5GHz wifi used.
So in short, connect to your internet with a 2.4GHz wifi AP if you intend to use The Microsoft wireless Display adaptor.
I'm quite tempted to get the dock now as one of my office PCs is about to have a catastrophic HHD fail and continuum will kill several birds with a single stone.

Some people on reddit used this and it worked. Can someone confirm?
I have a LG 42LA660s Smart TV, with Miracast enabled. I just connected my phone to a wireless display, and the Continuum works. It is not flawless but I am satisfied with it.

With the coming of the new Macbook with USB-C, there are now quite a few new and cost effective alternatives on the market. I recently bought an unbranded dongle/dock thing which is advertised as to be used with the new Macbooks. It has a USB-C connector on one end, with a USB-A port, HDMI-out port, and USB-C charging port on the other. Works really well, got it for about 1100 INR / 17.50 USD
My display dock HD 500 with a lumia 950 does only view 720p on my full HD TV. Is there any chance to force 1080p output?
I'm gonna check this tomorrow on work where mine Lumia950 and HD500 are and a Dell 24" FHD screen.
Works fine with my Surface Go tablet and LG FHD 55" television. Surface Go with USB-C kabel and LG-tv with HDMI.
And also my Lumia950 works with it on my LG-tv or at work on HP 24".
TLDR: I am only able to achieve a stable data connection using the Samsung usb-c cable that came with the phone. I've had my S8+ since the first day it was available in the US, Apr 21. And I've had this problem since that day.
Details:
When I plug my phone into a computer (transfer files, etc) or my car (Android Auto), it always works fine with the Samsung cable. It almost never works with any other usb-c cable I've tried, seeming to succeed only if the cable sits just right in the port. If it happens to work, and I move the phone/cable at all, it stops. On a computer, the "you plugged in a device" dialog pops up over and over again really fast (1 hertz).
I've tried it with both usb 2.0 and 3.0 ports on a couple towers and 3+ laptops
I've tried at least 3 different kinds of cables and at least 10 total cables. The cables don't sit loosely in the port or anything. They fit snug and hold fast, as I've come to appreciate about usb-c.
The other cables all work fine with other usb-c devices I have -- Pixel phone, Nexus 6p, Nexus 5x, Chromebooks, Nintendo Switch controllers
Charging works fine 90-95% of the time with other cables. When it fails, it slow charges, saying "Ensure the cable is plugged in properly" or something like that
I see articles online encouraging purchase of all kinds of non-Samsung usb-c cables to use with the S8
I would conclude the port is loose, but the cables all fit snugly, and the Samsung cable *always* works. I don't have to wiggle it in the port or anything--no effort at all.
This hasn't been a big deal for me until this week. I have usb-c cables all over the place I can charge with, and I carry the Samsung cable in my backpack for when I need a data connection. But now I have a car with Android Auto, and want to keep a valid cable in there.
Has anyone else experienced this? I searched around some, but couldn't find anything.
I'm using three different brands of type-C usb cables, micro usb cable+included adapter (micro usb to C). All are working fine.

It's a big I aqh3 I'm 99.9% positive. My MacBook pro power cable is as good as they come but it flaps like 3x then just says fail on my phone screen despite it working fine lol. It does not do this on for example the eng rom for root
I bought 3 type c cables from 3 different manufucturers. Only one of them doesnt work as advertised. Whenever i plug the phone with the cable the humidity sensor is switched on and it tells me the phone port is wet and i can not charge. Cant fidn any logical explanation but thats what i get

I experience the same problem. I haven’t tried the original cable. I just gave up on PC cable cause I never really needed it. I just wanted to use my usb c desktop connector to feel cool since usb c isn’t popular on a desktop yet. But yea constant disconnects unless you plug it without moving it, a slight wind can blow and cause it to disconnect. If the OEM cable works no problem, I’ll just buy one from a4c android store or amazon.

I would like to share with you my setup which is like a dream come true. I have always imagined that one day I'll have single device that I will use throughout the whole day and now it finally is possible.
I bought an opened box HP Elite X3 Lap Dock of Ebay for 230 AUD in a pristine condition for my Galaxy Note 10+ (European, Exynos). Affter I have received it I had some trouble to connect my phone to the Lap Dock - the original HP cable was missing and the one from Samsung did not work. I finally figured it out - It has to be a USB C cable that will allow video transmission, quick data and power transfer - to sum up it has to be at least USB 3.1 Gen 1 that provides 5 Gb/s, 5V, 3A (Gen 2 provides 10 Gb/s). I bought https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B01GGKYT7M/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1 and viola it works!
It is almost a perfect solution - I have been able to switch from Windows laptop instantly, I have prepared a whole lecture with PowerPoint on this setup, I use it from time to time for gaming (love the PSP games and bluetooth controller). All is extremely compact, premium made and useful. The whole set combines: Galaxy Note 10+, HP Elite X3 Lap Dock, Amazon USB C cable, 8Bitdo, Samsung 45Watt Charger, and couple of extras like additional HDMI cable with micro HDMI adapter, USB C to A cable, USB C hub with HDMI, 2 x USB and USB C sockets and foldable bluetooth keyboard with touchpad. All of these fit well in a 11 inch Apple Macbook Air neoprene bag
Connecting the HP Lapdock to the TV with HDMI (using HDMI to Micro-HDMI adapter) and then connecting phone wirelessly with it allows to display on TVs without Miracast.
In order to get regular size font while using DEX I am utilizing MacroDroid macros: Receive Notification DEX App - Change system font to 1.2 and Remove Notification DEX App - Change system font to 0.8 (my default)
The known issues are:
1. Lap Docks speakers does not work - I had to change in settings of DEX and in Developer Settings not to route sound via USB and now when connected sound is played from the phone
2. Touchpad buttons are not recognized - it works perfect other than that (gestures, zooming, scrolling, two fingers for right button)
UPDATE
Audio via lapdock speakers works! - in order to make it work just plug in the phone to the lapdock without turning it on and then turn it on by holding battery button and power button simultaneously for 10 seconds until it boots. When its on in volume panel chose play via display device and enjoy B&O sound.
There is a bad news too - after updating to Android 10 the touchpad is practically unusable - they have change the way it operates and now it moves incredibly fast up and down an extremely slow from left to right - the only option is to use the phone as touchpad which luckily is very good.

Updated, matured setup:
I can't get my Aussie exynos to work unfortunately.
You have to turn of lapdock first, give it a 10 sec after it has booted than connect it with a usb c 3.1 gen 2 cable (a short one, cables longer than 1 meter seems mot to work) and it should be fine. I am using a 50 cm UGreen cable, sometimes it is required to hard reset the lapdock when it does not pair properly by holding the power button for 10 sec.
An Update:
Finally audio via lapdock speakers works - in order to make it work just plug in the phone to the lapdock without turning it on and then turn it on by holding battery button and power button simultaneously for 10 seconds until it boots. When its on in volume panel chose play via display device and enjoy B&O sound.
There is a bad news too - after updating to Android 10 the touchpad is practically unusable - they have change the way it operates and now it moves incredibly fast up and down an extremely slow from left to right - the only option is to use the phone as touchpad which luckily is very good.
Maybe we can send a request to Samsung to fix the problem with the touchpad because we are many users with it.
Anyone with the tab s (5e or 6). Can check if having same problem?
Thanks
Can you please check underneath your Lap Dock what the model number is?
E.g. V8H07UT#ABA or Y1M47EA#ABH, etc.
I am having the latter also with a European Exynos Note 10+ and I can't it to fully connect (no display).
Thanks!
I bought the HP Lap Dock V8H07UT#ABA for my Note 10+ Exynos (Portugal) and was never able to have it work. I bought many different cables but didn't change a thing. The same cables used to connect my Tab S4 (Snapdragon) to the HP Lap Dock worked flawlessly.
So you are very lucky to have a working setup!
Ok, I got seriously lucky.
Found the mainboard of the V8H07UT#ABA online, and it arrived today.
Replaced the mainboard of my Y1M47EA#ABH with it, and I now have a working Lap Dock with my European Exynos Note 10+. Happy camper here!

What kind of USB-C cable are you using? The one that comes with the Lap Dock or another brand? Is Developer Mode enabled ? Thanks.
Currently I am using a cable from Ugreen witch has a proper length and is very well made https://m.pl.aliexpress.com/item/32...detail&spm=a2g0o.cart.0.0.307e3c00rTzEtg&mp=1
It also fits in nicely with a magnetic usb c adapter that I have attached to my lapdock https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32985884761.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.27424c4dZXuZyS
Just now I have found one strange thing - I have change the cable I used with and older one which was working fine and now it did not - what did fix this issue was switching the ends of the cable the end that was going into lapdock went to phone and vice versa. I know it should not make any difference since these cables are reversible but it did mabye that will help somebody.
Well, now we got wireless dex!
Upgraded set, now based on Nexdock Touch - https://www.reddit.com/r/SamsungDex/comments/jp7940/my_perfect_mobile_dex_setup_completed/
I am trying to make the Lapdock work with LG V30 - wirelessly I have succeded to make connection as a secondary screen - so the phone screen is projected to the lapdock.
Now I want to be able to use the keyboard and touch pad: I use a ugreen PD100W cable and I can get the notification on the phone that external kb, mouse and sound is detected. no image goes to the lapdock screen. Sound does though on both LG and HP elite x3.
I think the cable might be to blame...
I tried then to connect wirelessly - I can get the image on the lapdock, the kb even works, but I cannot open apps, no mouse is detected (touchpad does not work) Sound too.
Do I need a cable that says 4k on it?
lapdock 1 P/N - Y4T07AA£ABA
lapdock 2 P/N - Y1M47EA£ABU
I bought one then another hoping to make it work, but they have similar behauviour - when connectd via cable, the screen go dark blank, but I can see that it actually works, just a black picture is displayed
Also, anyone knows what is the difference between lapdock models above?
