Would it be possible to use USB-C to HDMI adapter. And connect to the TV,? Does this
Phone support HDMI Alternate Mode (HDMI Alt Mode).
No HDMI available on the USB port (which is not USB3, BTW).
Thank you so I presume Chromecast is the Alternative.
I beliave that you can use the same cable I use on my poco F1, this one uses miracast screen transmission and works like a charm on lineage os 16 (android 9), but I thinks it works on any android os ios phone. Note that is only 30 fps, but with no lag, since it uses cable conection. Much better than chromecast thats uses wifi:

Miracast is not USB. Nor the F3 has any hardware to bridge video data over its USB2 port.
Show us your setup, please.

What makes you suggest the usb port is USB2?

And the fact that USB communication with my Linux box is USB2.

Hello? I'm thinking of buying Sony's mini laser beam projector MP-CL1.
This device have widi and miracast for wireless and a hdmi port for wire connection.
As far as I know, 5x doesn't support miracast and I'm not sure about widi.
So I'm thinking of connecting 5x to the projector by hdmi port.
I do own a hdmi cable and am going buy usb c to hdmi adapter.
In theory, 5x usb c to hdmi adapter to cable to projector would be the way connect.
I just want to know has anyone tried connecting 5x to any hdmi devices like tv or projector?
Under Settings - Display - enabled "Wireless" in Cast - N5X connected to Chromecast's HDMI connection to the HDTV, playing MP4 video now. (EX rom)
I usually travel with the Chromecast and not bother with taking along an HDMI cable and more adapters/converters - and, USB powered - nano router with hotspot functionality for wireless network.
In addition to support for Chromecast, which is a given among Nexus/Android devices including N5 and N5X, N7, etc. - I can also confirm that N5X solidly support Miracast. I have an Android TV Box (has its own HDMI connection) with support for FireReceiver and Miracast -casting wirelessly now directly to HDTV, whatever is on the N5X screen and of course, pictures & videos ... presentations / slides should NOT be a problem. Depending on where OP is buying the Sony projector, I would take the N5X along to test it on the spot before buying/taking it home, unless familiar with it.
I purchased a USB Type-c to HDMI cable recently. My plan was to plug the HDMI end into my projector and view the phone screen that way.
I have tried with two smart TVs as well as the projector with no result.
I look on the sources of all HDMI and nothing changes.
The phone does not provide an automatic option e.g. no message to enable the HDMI connected device.
I have went through all of the TV and projector settings with no result.
All TVs and projector work fine for a laptop that also has HDMI to HDMI.
Any ideas of is this a step to far for the lite?
I see that the better phones have 'desktop' or 'project' mode.
Unfortunately p20 lite does not support type c to hdmi out. You can cast via any caat device.
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.
Hi
I know that Mi11x will not support external display through usb type c hdmi cable.
Is it possible with any custom rom or a hardware issue?
There is no support for a External Display thru the USB-C connector,
you can always use Screen Cast if your TV supports it.
Your phone would have to support MHL (Mobile High Definition Link).
Alioth doesn't support it.
Yes you can with some cables like Mirascreen LD39, which doesn't need MHL support.
Use DisplayLink Adapter or Dock, works fine with most Xiaomi Devices
Video Link for DisplayLink
So I attempted to connect my device to a portable monitor via a USBC docking station. The monitor has a micro HDMI in and a USBC port that supports video. The docking station has an HDMI out port that I was attempting to use.
My set up was: I connected the Redmagic 8pro to the docking station via USBC, then the docking station to the monitor via HDMI to Micro HDMI.
The phone is saying that it IS casting but I am not getting any video on the monitor.
I have tested just connecting the phone to the monitor with no docking station using a USBC cable only and it works just fine.
I tested the dock with a different device with the same set up as before and was able to connect with no issues.
Obviously I can just connect via USBC and call it a day but I would like to use the dock because I would also be able to charge my phone and connect USB peripherals as well as the monitor.
Does anyone have any idea why the I can't connect using the dock and the HDMI connection?
I have tried with 2 different Steam Deck docking station from Amazon and HDMI was not working.
I am suspecting a usb alt mode driver issue. The phone also gets a bit lost like charging - disconnected -charging -....
The ethernet, storage, keyboard mouse are working but in the Android logs I dont see any HDMI related logs, so since I was able to build the Linux kernel (with the DP alt mode module), I have to flash,test again but it takes time for me .
I am a bit disappointed that it does not work from the begining, but it is a good step that Nubia is releasing the kernel source code.
The only solution I am aware from reviews is to use a direct HDMI to USBc adapter
Thank you for the reply. It is very unfortunate because without being able to connect to the dock you cannot charge the device while connected to a monitor. Have you tried using any non Steam Deck docking stations, just out of curiosity? I am considering trying a couple. It is probably a waste of time but this is a very frustrating issue and I have not been able to find anything close to a solution.
An Update! I found a dock that I was able to use to successfully connect my device to my portable monitor. I will link all of the hardware I am using, please share with any other users attempting to use a similar set up.
