I tried my USB to HDMI that I use with my switch and it didn't work. It comes up with a message telling you to use the casting feature.

LG didn't support this on the G6, and I had hoped they would include it here, but I guess they're all in on streaming.

But, it is not the same, if you want to play with your smartphone in the tv, you need hdmi, streaming has much lag.
Lg v30 support this feature.
Lg g7 is fantastic, but without this, it can not be comprared with galaxy s9, p20 pro, iphone x...

Oh. Makes sense that they would've just kept it then. Sadly, LG is not known for it's logical actions. Haha

I'm experiencing the same issue on G7 Thinq and suspected the USB-C to HDMI cable. Is this really just not supported on the G7? They're trying to force us to use a streaming device by excluding this very basic and reliable functionality?

LG has disabled this feature by software.
As you can see in the attached screen, the smartphone detect a displayport adapter, but the tv out is disabled via software.
I have been researching into the kernel source, and I have discovered how they have disabled this feature, I have uploaded the hdmi_Kconfig file from LG v30, and Samsung Galaxy S9, both of them support HDMI out, and LG G7.
There you can see waht I have explained.
If it would have some developeres interested in this device, they could take back this feture to LG G7.

usb c to hdmi cable
When it comes to technology, I think I'm pretty up to date but I was a little behind the curve when it came to HDMI cords and cell phones. I absolutely love my Samsung S8+ and being able to watch videos that I have recorded, pictures I've taken on my television has opened me to a whole new world...... use easyacc usb c to hdmi cable watched movies from my Netflix app from my phone on the television screen. I'm stoked if you can't tell!!!

Had I known this single fact before, I swear I would have never bought LG G7. This is passed Apple's stupidity. I mean what the f LG? Wake the hell up. No more LG **** for me anymore.

So now, is there any developer who had successfully unlocked this feature?

The feature is directly disabled in the kernel. While we have the kernel the source doesn't work.

So does this mean there is a way to enable this feature on the g7. I just updated from an iPhone and have no wifi where I play videos etc for my students. I had the adapter for the smart phone and bought one to fit the USB c but when I plug it in to the HDMI it only charges does not show the screen

Hello!
I am interested in enabling hdmi also.
Any news?
I'm offering a reward! ?

Hi guys, it must be rooted the phone for make the change in the kernel to activate the feature? Or there is an alternative way to enable it?

There is no way to enable it at the moment.

Snapdragon 845 have HDMI as option- vendor have to open HDMI with paid key (same as Windows Home to Windows Pro). Qualcom understand the power of money.
So it is a SW issue-but You can't just change n to y in kernel. It's a clear case for LG. Maybe they can offer a paid solution - but I doubt it.
Regards Per Vangli

It seems someone with g710ulm on v10i firmware has managed to connect with a TV using this lenovo usbc to DisplayPort adapter 4X90Q93303.
Can someone with this firmware confirm this? ???

[Q] USB OTG possibility?

I guys, maybe I'll buy LG Optimus G for xmas. The only lack of this phone, imho, is the missing SD card slot. It won't be a lack if this phone supported OTG, but, as lot of us know, microusb on this phone doesn't provide 5V output, so it's impossibile to connect other usb devices to OG.
5V output is not the only requirement to make USB OTG work, but 5V usb power can be easily supplied with a Y cable with one end connected to a power source (computer or phone charger itself or external emergency batteries). OTG needs also compatibile soc (snapdragon s4 pro is compatible for sure), kernel support (it should be enough to connect devices, such as usb gamepads) and software support (for example to read what's on a usb stick). Software support is easier than 5V, lot of free and well know softwares can be found on googleplay. So only kernel support is the last enemy. I'm not able to compile kernels or other stuff like this, but, as I saw for other devices (even mid-range like some samsungs with novathor chipset) or for OG's almost-twin Nexus 4 which has the same situation of OG, kernel support can be easily integrated by people with some skills in android programming.... So, is there anyone who can try to add kernel support?

I got that working 3-4 months ago.
There's a kernel from Houstonn's AOSP 4.4 kiktkat ROM.
Try that, I used OTG for like 1 month And then moved to stock again.

Have you tried slim port adapter? My g4 wont be here for about a week to test.
Add: After googling what the Lg G3 had, which was a slimport I checked LG's website. It says it uses "HDMI SlimPort(4K)".
http://www.lg.com/uk/mobile-phones/g4/specifications.jsp
Has anyone picked up a slimport adapter for the g4? Looking for one that is guaranteed to work.

What setting are you looking for?
I tried my slimport (not MHL) adapter and it worked the same way as for the G2. Screen mirroring on the TV. When playing videos using the built in video app they only play on the TV.
Link to it?

Me? Here.
Alright, pulled my Slimport Adapter out of my Pioneer App Radio and it doesn't work with my TV either. This same adapter worked with my Nexus 4.
All LG Flagship are enabled with Slim-Port - Connecting Technology.
LG G4 is in list of the official slim-port Supported Devices here: www.slimportconnect.com/slimport-supported-devices/.

Recommend this from Amazon.com and also found a tutorial video at YouTube.com here.
Frigidazzi you said your phone would be there in about a week, that was 4 months ago? This can't be that hard I am still screen mirroring from my s3 as my s5 was stolen but my g4 does not work with this adapter or any of the other 4 that I have tried. This can't be this difficult if I don't accomplish something this week I will use my 14 day option and return this phone. Anyone have any answers?
I have a taiwan 815 and i bought a combo slimport adapter which has a card reader and USB OTG it works fine

You might need a 5 pin to 11 pin adapter. Your mhl cable might be a 1.0 which is older tech
Lg4 mhl

Lg4 does support mhl. It requires a slimport MHL. I just bought an Accell slimport Mhl. Works perfect. It took a few trys before I found this. Also, Lg4 supports 4K.
Is MHL micro usb to hdmi compatible with the LG G4 and LG G tab?

gyroscope not working

I'm using auxus prime p8000 I'm checked for specifications on gadget360.com.

they said my phone has gyroscope I'm using Nexus ROM made For elephone p8000
My gyroscope not working how to fix it
It doesn't really have a gyroscope. Specs on several sites are wrong. Some also said it had USB OTG support, but it doesn't have it, either

USB Type C DAC dongle

So I recently got an DAC dongle (Hidizs Sonata HD 2) and I can't seem to connect it on my realme X2.
I turned on OTG Connection in additional settings. Even tried doing usb debugging etc. But did not work. It sometimes recognized thou.
PS I already did patch the firmware on my hidizs and I also tried using it on samsung galaxy note 9 (it works flawlessly)

I have the chine version of X2 (1991) and I was planning to buy that dac.
Did you find any solution?
What model of X2 do you have?
Thanks

I have the global version.
I'm not sure if it's a software problem or hardware problem. Sometimes my phone can recognized it but it can be easily disconnected if you move the dac.
