I already got the phone earlier this week, I'm satisfied so far, but I'm wondering if this phone support usb-c to HDMI or DisplayPort for TV output.
Has anybody tested it? And which kind of cable should I get? Does any usb-c to hdmi work?
Well, screw me. I was going to link you the usual bla bla, telling you sony (be it for a hardware limitation or not) had it not enabled since like the XZP.
But.. it seems like some people something to work with DisplayLink?
I just got one usb-c to hdmi, it doesn't work. And the cable does work on my friend's macbook.
Do we have a root and modify system solution?

Hello guys! I'm willing to buy micro hdmi to hdmi cable, something like this: https://www.amazon.com/Fosmon-High-Speed-Micro-HDMI-HDMI-Cable/dp/B003UH0Z9Q
Has anyone tested this kind of cable yet on Blupure XL or Allview X2 Xtreme ? Would it work ? I want to use this cable on non smart lcd tv's. If anyone tested this and works, let me know please.
Thanks! :good:
I've never tried but this could be interesting if it works

No it will not work.. Pure XL does not have a micro HDMI port, so no where to hook it into-
"High-speed Micro HDMI to HDMI cable, A to D type; please note, this is not an MHL cable"
this cable does NOT have usb > HDMI functionality...
you need a MHL cable for that
try something like this:
http://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=8675
(theres numerous ones on amazon, but they all have specific phones listed, mainly samsungs, but MHL is a standard that a lot of phones use...)
I have a similar one that I couldn't get it to work or even recognized on the PURE, but my HTC One m7 sees it but doesnt consistently work (it recognizes then doesn't.. bouncing between the two)
let me know how it works out
Well that seems obvious finally... I didn't saw that it was a micro HDMI and not a micro USB...

Awesome, thanks for advice. I'll try this very soon. MHL should work because i've searched a few tutorials on YT and every cable is MHL, didn't notice that before. Thanks a lot.
just to reiteriate; mine doenst work on my pure, and isnt recognized by it
I don't believe the phone is MhL capable either.
As far as I'm aware its only options are wireless casting.

Wireless Casting has a lot of delay, it's no good for gaming.
Is there another way to do this without delay?

No, if it's the only option it works that way. The phone doesn't have any other outputs that I'm aware of.
Does the XZ or the XZ Premium support HDMI alternative or alt mode through the USB-C port?
This is what I'm talking about :
https://www.theverge.com/circuitbreaker/2016/9/1/12758384/usb-c-hdmi-alt-mode-cables-specifications
I think Sony dropped MHL support because of the google cast.
Not sure if usb C to HDMI works, but you can find out and let us know
Apparently the Snapdragon 835 natively supports Displayport alt mode.

I've bought this HUB with HDMI recently: https://www.amazon.de/Delivery-Auflösung-Ladefunktion-Macbook-ChromeBook/dp/B01BXOW3V0 but haven't got the HDMI Port to work so far, I'll try again later propably.
Any news?

I've tried it again but it didn't work. The Device might not support Displayport over USB C at all or we just need to wait for an Software Update.
Check if your device supports Displayport alt mode.
Or you could try it with a Displayport alt mode capable USB-C to HDMI cable or adapter.
C to HDMI cable didn't work.

Hi @AndroPlus.
Thanks for chiming in.
May I ask which USB-C to HDMI cable you tried to use on your Sony Xperia XZ Premium for direct audiovisual output to TV ?
Is your cable DisplayPort alt mode capable?
Thanks.

Is your cable DisplayPort alt mode capable just like this one? This cable here is marketed as DisplayPort alt mode capable and it's supposed to work with Samsung Galaxy S8 which also uses the Snapdragon 835 chipset. So theoretically it should also work with Sony Xperia XZ Premium out of the box.

Thanks for the info.

I used this one (it supports Galaxy S8):
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B071FNG86N/
I tried with multiple TV and monitor, but it didn't work.
[UPDATE]
I checked with HTC U11 and it works, so cable itself is good.
Unfortunately I can confirm that the Sony Xperia XZ Premium does not support Displayport alt mode at this moment in time. Perhaps Sony developers might add Displayport support in the near future though but don't hold your breath.
The hardware capability is there thanks to the incredible Snapdragon 835 but for some reason Sony decided to remove this feature through software or rather a lack thereof.
It's a shame really. Now I need to return this phone and buy a flagship smartphone from one of the competitors just to get this displayport functionality.
Hi, Oreo update has been just released for Sony Xperia XZ Premium. Any new info about USB-C to HDMI output compatibility? Can someone test it? Im thinking of buying this phone, but this is a must have feature for me. No luck with Google search.
Ditto-- any news since Oreo update?
Anyone try since the Oreo update? Results?
I just try to plug in the phone with a switch to usb C dock (capable to use with nintendo switch) but it still didn´t work for me, and nothing appears on the screen. The charging and usb are working correctly, so Oreo still haven´t HDMI support for our Phones
I connected the adapter I bought, and my phone did recognize my TV, but it didn't actually stream video to it.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/xz-premium/how-to/displayport-alt-mode-t3739553
just because a chipset supports something doesn't mean its physically connected, not even having the pins connected on the PCB will determine if it can support it, the hardware could be disabled in multiple locations and supporting chips may not even be present. yes it may well be software limited but don't hold your breath, since time began manufactures have be dropping functions from chipsets
Yes it's possible and feasible. Ignore that lame know-it-all naysayer and doubter above ^^
@Inerent
Thanks for creating a bounty thread for it.
You might want to turn it into a crowd funded fundraiser though.
100 bucks is not much of an incentive for the talented and hard working developers. Keep in mind they do this in their spare time. We must support their hard work.

How were you able to tell the phone recognized the TV? Was it data transfer protocol maybe?

I have an app called Sentio desktop. It activates if an external display is connected, or a keyboard is connected. I didn't connect a keyboard at that time, so it must've detected an external display. I tried using OTG for plenty of other things. It doesn't make mistakes. Sentio only launched when I connected a keyboard, not external storage, or even a mouse. Only when I connected a 2 in one (mouse+keyboard) did Sentio launch.
And when I hooked my phone up to the TV with the HDMI cable.
Do you think that that piece of information could be useful in making a kernel mod to make it work?
Hi!
I just received the XZ2 Compact and wondering if a USB-C to HDMI Adapter will work. The SoC supports it but it seems that the support is not integrated. I checked out an adapter that worked perfect with an HTC U11.
The XZ2 Compact itself is a bit thick but awesome, just fell in love with the speed.
Any comments welcome!
USB-C to HDMI and DisplayPort are part of the USB 3.1 standard but the device has to support it. Fortunately, SD835 and 845 both do but Sony admitted they disabled it in their 835 generation as part of a "design decision", even their Open Devices AOSP build can't use it. Any straight USB-C to HDMI or DisplayPort cable would work the same so long as it does not include additional peripherals like a card reader, extra USB ports, or anything else. Give it a try and us know.
No DisplayPort Alt
I just got mine today, no displayport alt support...again. DisplayLink works but audio doesn't as usual and options are limited since it's a proprietary solution.
Sony doesn't do enough with its phones to justify overlooking this. This is my last Sony phone.

Samsung S8 with no problem, thats shame for Sony.

Dear All,
I have an Xperai XZ2 Compact h8324, downloaded an early access app called "DisplayLink Desktop Demo" and it works well with DELL DisplayLink device model d6000. I didn't try sound output but screen display with usb keyboard + mouse works great. You should give a try
Video out used to be a thing on many phones even with micro-usb, but now that type-c supports it fully I don't see too many doing it. At least not my previous Google phones. Does the OP7P support video out mode?
I connect mine to my monitor and it works great
It's supposed to, idk if I've got a bunk cable that only works with samsungs, but I can't get hdmi out to work.
Screen mirroring via USB C>Hdmi works for me
Hi, I broke my motoz2 screen, but the phone is still working, so I want to kno if anyone has tried to connect the phone with an USB-C to hdmi cable?
Sorry to hear that, I know the hurts of breaking a screen (or 6 ) especially on a loved device.
First, look thru this list of Compatible Devices ,
if you don't find it, try this alternative DisplayLink Presenter , as many devices are not designed with 'old-school' wired connections. You may need to purchase one of these: Shop DisplayLink and a USB-a female-male USB-c adapter
