Hey guys,
I received today my MHL adpater
http://www.ebay.com/itm/171436891054?_trksid=p2060778.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
The signal to the TV is working fine.
My problem is when I'm connecting devices to the USB host port, there is a power over there but my phone not responding, while those devices are working with a simple OTG cable.
Some help over here?

I have been looking for the same thing, an MHL - OTG - charging dock/adapter/dongle, I have not found anything that people report as working reliably on the S5 (I am also looking for one to work with a Note 10.1 2014).
Have you tried to connect a power supply on the micrUSB port? I have a MHL adapter and it needs external power.

Yes, I did.
I even tried connecting a USB hub and I saw there is a power from the USB Host.
Please give me a link for what you're using a direct link to eBay item.

I was under the impression you can either use mhl or otg. Not both at the same time. You tried just using the thumb drive by itself without the hdmi plugged in?
anyone had luck finding an adapter allowing you to use hdmi alongside otg?
anyone found an adapter than can do hdmi and usb host at the same time??? there seem to have plenty for s4 but nothing for s5?? although s5 is using a newer and more capable mhl if i am not wrong

i meant the image quality,to just watch and control your device its ok,to watch a 720p movie its not ok,video will be blur sometimes and it will be a little delay at sound.
few days ago i used a friends standalone hdmi adapter was performing amazing even at 1080p.
it is very nice thank you very much

I got that hdmi connection kit and it works great with my S3 doing hdmi 1080p and otg simultaneous + charging. But with my S5 it will only do hdmi 720p or otg not both. Image quality is poor on the monitor but great on the HD TV.
Maybe "Display Link" is the way to go to get wired screen mirroring and otg at the same time on the S5?
What is otg?
USB On-The-Go, often abbreviated to USB OTG or just OTG, is a specification first used in late 2001 that allows USB devices, such as digital audio players or mobile phones, to act as a host, allowing other USB devices, such as USB flash drives, digital cameras, mice, or keyboards, to be attached to them.

Required: OTG Cable
Amazon Link: Micro-USB 3.0 OTG Adapter
Amazon Link: USB 2.0 OTG Cable
These are just some examples of cables available, there maybe better, or cheaper options
What is a OTG cable
When attached to a PC, an OTG device requires a cable which has a USB Standard-A plug on one end and a Micro-B plug on the other end. In order to attach a peripheral to an OTG device, the peripheral either needs a cable ending in a Micro-A plug, which is inserted into the OTG device's Micro-AB receptacle, or the OTG device itself needs an adapter cable with a Micro-A plug on one end and a Standard-A receptacle on the other. The adapter cable enables any standard USB peripheral to be attached to an OTG device. Attaching two OTG devices together requires either a cable with a Micro-B plug at one end and a Micro-A plug at the other, or can be achieved using a combination of the PC cable and adapter cable.

Thanks for your hard work on root/recovery. I was planning to try OTG print to USB printer tonight. I'll update here tonight after I get home and try it.
USB Serial adapter working here; FTDI chipset
Do you know if it matters if cable is usb 2.0 or 3.0 or are both supported?
I just wanted to report that when I connect an USB stick to the Fire (5.0.1) and try to use ES File Explorer to browse through its files, the Fire force-restarts.
Using Solid Explorer there's no such issue
OTG worked perfectly on 5.1.1 (rooted) using this drive. Same with a generic (cheap) OTG dongle similar to this. Plug-n-play.

Don't think I tried it on 5.0.1 doesn't crash on my twrp updated 5.1.1 on ES though. I did run the sd fix but no idea if that's of any significance.

An app is needed as far as I know. I haven't actually used it for anything, was just testing what works. Tested with the "UsbWebCamera" app. There are also apps that will stream the usb webcam from your Fire to another device. I could think of a couple nice uses for a usb webcam. Cheap car rear view camera, constantly recording car dash cam (record to a SanDisk high endurance video monitoring microSD). Personally I wouldn't drive without a dash cam. Too many crazy drivers who will swear they weren't texting while they ran right into you.
Power+OTG
Has anyone found out if this tablet supports OTG while charging?
It does not appear to support OTG + charging.

Hi! I got my new OP5 and I'm on the last version of FreedomOS.
I'd like to play some emulated games on my TV through HDMI cable in order to have the lowest lag possible.
I tried to put a USB - C / HDMI USB-A USB-C (charger) but it doesn't work...
Can you help me?
Thanks!

I don't know, I just want to be able to join the phone to my TV through cable connection.
It's my second OP since the 3T and at the time I didn't need that feature
It's not possible, use chromecast
Negative. I asked customer support. The only way to connect is wirelessly. 1+ doesn't have MHL support.
Hi all, I've tested an usb-c adapter, to get Dex mode without pay 140€ in my country. But with this adapter I can't trigger Dex mode on setting, I can only get screen mirror, even with the charger.
Is there a trick to bypass, this kind of detection?
I think, like Galaxy s8 there is something that trigger this feature when Dex/Compatible adapters, are connected.
you will need USB-C to HDMI+2 USB3.0 with Power delivery port... without power delivery port it will just mirror your phone.. if you have one.. connect power to the adapter.. that should in theory trigger the dex mode

On the last image, near the ethernet port there is the usb-c port to charge my device, i've used my original charger, s8 charger and macbook charger (the usb-c one), but nothing, also i can't see the option to change mirror to dex in settings...
Same thing here!
I believed that my Hub doens't support quick charge or something similar, just normal "slow" charge even when it's connected to original charger, and for this it does not trigger the dex mode only mirror.
I got a USB-C hub CB-C55 from AUKEY and was not happy trying to have DeX =(
Maybe it's because it does not have fast charge
Let me try using a most powerful charger...
No. Nothing happened. =/
Samsung DeX with S8/S9/Note8 only works with a DeX Station.
Only the Note9 works with a normal USB-C to HDMI cable
My S9+ does it just fine with one of the dex capable USB c hubs.
Is there any Type C to HDMI Hub apart from Official Dex Pad which anyone found working for Dex mode?
Please suggest so that it will be really helpful to others before buying.
Thank you.

Look for something called "Melopow M002" on ebay. Cheap usb-c hub that will enable DeX mode, at least works for my S8+.

and it does not work too (S9+). I've tried different chargers and two different displays.
Just gonna use a HDMI hub
You could install android 9 and it will work with standard usb c - HDMI cable I do this all the time and works great!

I've tried three different unpowered cables and they only mirror the phone. Seems it still does not trigger Dex unless it's a powered hub.
It worked in the leaked early beta but not with the two latest official builds (CRLI and CRLO).
Linux on Galaxy beta does not work as intended either on S9+. Can download Ubuntu but throws errors after unpacking.

So what you are saying is after you update your S9 Plus to latest official Pie build, DeX mode isn't working with non official convertors, such as type-c to hdmi adapter ?
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:
