Hey all! Just wondering if anyone knows of a solution that would give the OnePlus 7 Pro wireless charging capabilities while still allowing access to the USB-C port? I'm thinking of something like this concept specifically, but really any option that would just add wireless charging while keeping a port accessible for potential USB data use. Thoughts?
Yeah there is a few on amazon with type c usb, but no great reviews.

I'm new to USB-C so no idea if there is a working OTG cable. Any explanation and/or suggestion please. Thanks.
I got this one today. Works great!
I suggest this

As a minimum.
Will let you use you existing micro usb cables
Will fast charge
Supports connecting your ecisting micro otg gizmos
Tronsmart is cheaper and also supports qc but not otg.
Watch out for junk c cable. Bad fit and trickle charge only.
I'm looking into purchasing a usb type-c to HDMI cable. Is anyone aware of a program that would let me output my phone's display to my pc?

I'm pretty sure if you have the cable you don't need an extra program. It should just work.
Yep. And if your tv supports it wireless display too. Thought it would only work with LG tvs as that is what LG implied but I can sync to my samsung JS9500 just fine. Lag isn't too bad. And when doing screen changes or apps it looks like graphics glitch out but they don't. Haven't tested YouTube or my recorded videos yet. Have more important stuff to do first.
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.
I'm looking for a charging dock/stand (wired or wireless) that will let me plug a mouse and keyboard into it to use for gaming. Anyone know of one and can share a link?

So if I understand this right your after a charging doc for your S20FE, that has USB passthrough to allow you to plug kb/mouse into that?
The Dex pad might do what I think your after -

Or failing that, there seems to be a number of charging hubs on amazon -
Amazon.com : dex pad
Do you think something like this would work?
https://www.amazon.com/Adapter-Charging-Ethernet-Compatible-Thunderbolt/dp/B07TVSLDND
Intended for MacBooks but I think it "should" do the job.
I don't think the charger itself is included, but you should be able to power it with a Samsung usb-c charger you already have. I'd recommend the 25 watt one they sell for $20 now.
I have one these coming soon...

not that the OP is still asking but I'll report back if the HDMI works allowing improved murdering of people with a wired controller.
just realised this doesn't have a power supply input.
I got this Baseus dock and althought the plastics feel kinda cheap, it gets the job done and have a great Dex experience.
Hi all,
As per title, can anyone recommend a good quality usb a to type c adapter so that I can do data transfer between laptop and 9 pro? , as there's no tyoe c port on the laptop. Thanks
i've had good luck with Choetech from Amazon
Yeah I picked up some cheap ones on Amazon that do the trick just fine. I don't remember, but does OnePlus provide a USB to usb-c dongle in the box like Google does for their pixel phones?
The one from the 8 pro is what I use and thankfully working since a couple others I tried didn't work.
Use OnePlus cable Usb A to Usb C.
I have usb type C on my laptop, but is for charging...
