(t380) USBC to HDMI - Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers

When I try to plug in an USB-C to HDMI adapter, nothing shows up. I heard that some people had the same issues when they try. Does anyone have a tip?

S4 Active and TV Out

Has anyone had any luck with getting TV Out to work with their S4 Active? Has anyone even tried to see if it works? If you got it to work what adapter did you use? I just tried with this PNY adapter I bought with no luck, and I was wondering if anyone else has tried.
*edit*
Seems I got the wrong adapter. Didn't realize there were 5 pin adapters for the older phones and 11 pin adapters for the newer phones.
Ok so I went out and got the correct MHL to HDMI adapter and I attempted to connect my phone to my monitor -- an ASUS VX238H -- using three different HDMI Cables. First I tried a Spyder C Class HDMI cable followed by a Belkin HDMI cable my phonee recognized being plugged into a HDMI cable but my monitor didn't detect any signal. I just now tried this off brand HDMI cable I had and when I plugged it in my monitor went black (It has two HDMI ports with my computer plugged into HDMI1 and my phone plugged into HDMI2). So my question is is there a specific type of cable I have to use or some feature some HDMI clables have that I don't want to use (such as Ethernet)?
S4 Active has it's own forum now...

OTG not working without the original USB Type-C Adapter

It seams, that standard Type-C OTG cables and flashdrives are not recognized by oneplus two?!
When using the original Type-C Adapter with an micro-USB Stick or cable, it works.
Is this a bug in Oxygen 2.X or the kernel? Or is this Onplus´ marketing strategy, that Oneplus Two Users have to buy their adapter?
A lot of adapters are charge-only, so you need to make sure they can handle data as well
I've got this flash drive, and my OPT does not recognize it. The other one with the original OnePlus micro/C adapter just works fine.
Devices Available in Market are USB 3.0 / 3.1 but OPT support USB2.0, USB 3.0 / 3.1 devices or adapters will not work directly.
For example: The JetFlash 890S with Both USB Type-C and USB 3.1 Interface for OTG-Enabled Devices is backwards compatible with USB 2.0, but it isn´t recognized.

I have Kingston 64GB mikroduo flashdrive, USB-C , USB-A compatible USB3.1, USB3.0, USB2.0. Don1t work, but work with Xiaomi USB-C to micro USB adapter and Sony micro USB OTG cable combo.
Yes, Oneplus 2's usb type-c port is defective (hardware level not OS or kernel) it only detects official oneplus adapter and not any standard adapter with 56k resistor( As oneplus's adapter has 10k resistor- Non-standard/Defective).

Reliable HDMI CONNECTOR

I've tried a couple of devices that claim to connect V20 to tv by wired usb c to HDMI connector. They work for a while then the picture is lost or the phone itself freezes up. About the longest play I've gotten successfully is an hour but usually something goes wrong within 15 minutes.*
The phone has been out over 6 months now so I thought someone may have found a really dependable HDMI connector? I don't mind the lack of power in because I can always change batteries but phone should be able to play through HDMI long enough to watch one movie. That's all I really need hut I don't want to have to screw around with it 10 times to watch one movie.
Thanks so much for your help!
I've been wanting to make use of this feature, but haven't extensively yet. I have though gotten to make fair use of a micro-USB to HDMI adapter. A few trouble spots come to mind here.
Sounds like you're powering the adapter/phone from an external power source? How good is that power source? My micro-USB to HDMI was distinctly less reliable when plugged in since I was merely powering it from a normal USB port. Try running it entirely from the phone's battery. If this works better then it could be you really need a higher power source when using the adapter.
How good is your HDMI cable? Depending on how strongly the phone/adapter drives the HDMI signal, a lower quality cable could break the camel's back.
I've been running into a different bit of trouble with USB-C to HDMI adapters. I've found several of these, but whenever they've got a USB-C pass-through, the pass-through is strictly for power and does not carry the USB signals. The MyDP specification allows for USB3 to be passed through if 1 or 2 pairs are used for the HDMI signal, but allows for USB2 to be passed through no matter how many pairs are used for the HDMI signal. There are adapters which also include USB-A port(s), yet none which include an external USB-C with the USB signals. Grr!
I use C to HDMI not micro usb. V20 doesn't use micro usb. It uses slimport. I have one adapter which allows simultaneous charging and one strictly slimport C to HDMI. Both behave the same way. I have a high quality 2.5 foot HDMI wire.
Power source was Samsung tv usb powered output 1 amp. Point is I have the same issue with pure slimport and no charging.
The one that allows simultaneous charging does in fact charge and work but always craps out but so does the slimport C to HDMI.
Hmm, entertaining what you find when you do research. I suspect the V20 is using the "MyDP" specification, which is the official specification name behind "Slimport". Seems there are at least two other video out methods for USB-C.
I haven't done enough with the video-out feature of my V20 to have much experience yet. With a V10 whenever an adapter was plugged in without external power there were no problems, but when an adapter with external power was plugged in video wasn't reliable.
I'm interested in reading if you find out anything.

Sorry I haven't tried, but its seems to connect smoother the a wifi dongle.
does anyone know if there's a compatible dongle for the V20 with not only hdmi but also power input and usb host?
Happening to me too - Any suggestions
Your situation's description fits my problem exactly. I have a USB C to HDMI that was vouched as working by several V20 owners. I plug it into my Dell monitor to play games on a bigger screen. It works well for a while, then disconnects and popup on my screen says something like, "LG Bridge has stopped working do you want to exit?". Once this happens, it's almost impossible to get the V20 to share the screen again. It's not a hub, just a USB C (male) to HDMI (female).

Samsung Dex not connecting to monitor

Hi, i have a tab s6lite with Oneui 3.1 and android 11
Using an external usb-c hub dex won't connect to my hdmi monitor.
What should i do? Is there something i can do to make it work? Maybe with a rom?
thanks
Hi, I think you have already found the answer, but if anybody else would be looking for it, the answer is simple: unfortunately, Tab S6 lite has only USB 2.0 through the type-C connector, not USB 3.x, as the other S tablets do and as everybody would expect...
It's also unfortunate, that no review is mentioning this...

What model of USB-C hub are you using? When you plug it in, does it mirror to the monitor? If it doesn't, it's likely the hub, not the tablet. Not all of them are compatible with DeX.
Update: After doing some more research, it seems the Tab S6 Lite does not support Mobile HD Link (MHL). You can screen mirror via wireless (ChromeCast or MirrorCast), but DeX won't work.
Since it is hardware level, a custom ROM will not work.

Absolutely not true. The Tab S6 Lite is USB 3.x compatible. It is because Samsung didn't include MHL on its Sx Lite line of tablets.

Well, I expect the Samsung documentation doesn't lie too much: https://www.samsung.com/uk/tablets/galaxy-tab-s/galaxy-tab-s6-lite-blue-128gb-lte-sm-p615nzbebtu.
I also tested the USB speed, which is roughly about 30 MB/s, thus a bit above half of the theoretical limit of USB 2.0. It does not mean the port is not 3.x compatible (= possible to connect to USB 3.x ports...). However, it's really only USB 2.0, like on many cheap phones with type-C connector. And of course, as you have mentioned, MHL was not implemented in S6 lite's USB 2.0 port. If it would be USB 3.x, then it shall have (typically) HDMI-Alternate mode (it is true that there's no standard to this and it can support either HDMI or MHL or DisplayPort or ThunderBolt or neither of these ). And when the manufacturer would think about including MHL in USB 2.0 type-C port, then it makes technically better sense to go with USB 3.2 directly (as it uses the same number of wires and MHL or HDMI would need more hardware anyway and together it will bring more customers )... So that's why mentioning the USB 2.0 in datasheet makes sense and explains quite a lot (without searching for MHL implementation...).
Thanks for the correction. USB 2 is capable of screen mirroring. It needs MHL though.

there's some cables that use screencast over wire sounds a bit strange but it works relatively good, better than cast itself look at this:

MHL HDMI out no longer works in LOS19?

Has anyone been able to get HDMI video output (MHL) with a USB-C to HDMI cable working on their S10+ flashed with LOS19?
It worked great in LOS 18, have tried on multiple phones after clean flash of LOS19 and it no longer works, would really love to know if its just a bug and will be fixed soon or if something changed..
