Anybody plugged their PH-1 into a Samsung DEX station? Oughta work, maybe with a tweek of the orientation
It'll work. Samsung DeX and Windows Continuum both implement alt mode for DP over USB-C. Pretty much any accessory should work, since the PH-1 also supports alt mode.
I bought an HP Lap Dock for $140 and it worked after I updated the firmware*. Touchpad, keyboard, function keys, audio, the whole shebang. DeX should work without issue. The main issue is screen scaling, since the PH-1 uses a non-16:9 aspect ratio and the resolution is unique as well. Unless you know how to change the resolution and scaling, I would avoid mirroring altogether.
*Note that I had to go into a MS store and borrow their display unit to update the firmware. You'll have to update the wireless firmware separately by connecting wirelessly. This only applies to the HP Lap Dock for the Elite x3.

Hi guys,
Is there any way to connect a Hero or Vega (or any android device for that matter) to an external touch screen monitor and control the phone/tablet via the large monitor?
I understand it is pretty easy to watch movies etc on a bigger monitor but I am wanting to actually use the touch screen input of the monitor to control the device.
My aim is to use this as an entertainment system on a 22" (anything over 15") touch screen in a VW campervan conversion project smile.gif
Any help hugely appreciated.
Cheers,
Wag
look on ebay for touch screen addons for laptop or computer monitors most just emulate a usb mouse so if the android tablet or whatever your using supports usb mouse support like some of the viewsonic gtablet roms do i woul think it would work pretty good if you could find one for the size screen you want.
something like this but for the size screen you want http://goo.gl/4GdgT
You need to hack it
I had a similar idea and one of the Touch screen panels as mentioned by gator2k83. It did not work that way as he proposed.
The touch screen works with absolute positions. A mouse is relative position.
You need to hack it the bad way.
See my blog post about it:

If anyone has other experiences, let me know.
HP 23TM touch screen monitor and android tablets
Would the new HP 23TM touch screen monitor work with a 7 inch tablet as an external touch screen monitor? The table has a hdmi out and a micro usb out which could be hooked up with OTG cable?
Thanks.
It would be great to be able to do that

Its been 4 years since the original post, so I'm curious if its any easier now. I would like to control my Samsung Galaxy S3 (MHL compatible) via a MHL 3.0 cable and this touchscreen. Any ideas/advice?
Working on a project to turn my phone into a desktop without a need for too specialized adapters and without root. Using my LG G5 for testing this. Have a MHL USB Type C adapter that contains USB, HDMI, and Type C in (charging). The setup works well, and I'm able to hook in my keyboard, monitor, and mouse perfectly. Screen resolution is slightly cut off on the top and bottom edges. It seems to mirror the display of my device. Could imagine it troublesome for taller phones like the S8.
This can be fixed without root, as you can give Sentio Desktop permissions to edit the display settings.
HOWEVER, I don't see anyway to turn off the display when plugged into the adapter and keep running the same.
This is more of a long-term problem. Having the screen on for extended period of time will cause heat issues, not to mention wear on the screen.
Is there any kind of way to turn off the phone's display when hooked in, akin to closing the lid on a Mac when hooked to a monitor (without root preferably)?
Did you ever find out how to do this? Bugs me too!
Hey, from what I gather DEX mode gives you a desktop style experience with the note 9 on an external screen. But does anyone know if it's possible to use it on the screen of a tablet running Windows 10? Not run in windows, but just essentially make use of its screen? Although I'm sure I saw a video of a guy plugging the phone into a laptop and using its screen. The tablet is a lovely 12 incher with a great screen and a built in stand, I just think it would be cool to use it's screen while playing games through the phone with a Bluetooth controller. The tablet has a full size usb port and a mini HDMI which I don't know if it would be an input as well or just output.
Any ideas?
No you can use teamviewer as a remote though
nopez. there is no way a normal Tablet or even Laptop lends just the screen to an external source.
Unless a niche product i am unaware, No video input (HDMI or whatever) input to be found. Just Output.
So a software solution is needed to replicate the phone on the Tablet screen. And that will not make the phone desktop to switch to Dex mode.
Samsung Sidesync program is what you need to run in your Windows 10 Tablet. Hopefully a future iteration of Samsung soft will allow for kind of "dex mode" desktop, as it would allow a better use of screen realstate in the Win10 device landscape format screen
Hello,
I have a Dell WD15 docking station. Unfortunetaly, connecting a Google Pixel doesn't do much (only external mouse and keyboard work, not the external screen), even with desktop mode enabled in developer options.
Are there phones you can simply connect to a docking station and that show a real desktop (not only the rectangular phone display in bigger) on the external screen? The goal is to use it as a desktop system.
I was thinking about a Xiaomi Redmi Note 10s, can someone maybe test it or has tried it?
I am aware of Samsung Dex but I don't want a Samsung Galaxy S
Thank you
So in the year of Christ 2022, is there still any sort of way to output video on a Pixel 2?
Story goes so that I have one with a completely busted screen, that does not register anything at all, let alone show anything. Glass broken, touch screen broked. I read there's some sort of a solution, but it requires an app to be downloaded which obviously is impossible in this case.
Is there any solution besides getting this piece of junk fixed?
I was able to use USB adapter to HDMI (not DisplayPort over USB-C alt mode, but older DisplayLink technology over USB 2, plus adapter to USB-C, normally used for adding extra monitors to laptops etc), but it required a DisplayLink app, not sure if it downloaded it automatically or not but I typically install apps from Google App Store remotely, on a PC browser (and select my phone as the target). A mouse should also work with Android but you'll need USB hub, or a bluetooth mouse, so yes in theory it will work but not for DRM content like Netflix, and not sure about booting up, perhaps you can blidnly use external keyboard for PIN or password.
Edit: USB docks for laptops, with HDMI and more USB ports, also use the DisplayLink technology and may be worth a shot
