HI Guys,
I have a T428 from GeekBuying.com, I am having issues setting it up
1) I am unable to get my T428 to work using my nexus 4 as a wireless remote / keyboard have anyone managed to do it? (I tried a few applications but no luck)
2) Some movie playback is stuttering / buffering a lot, do anyone get this issue? (mainly 720p MKV's over 3GB)
3) I am looking for a 5 volt / 2amp UK plug... (My last android device shorted out when the 2pin plug got knocked while in the adapter) Nokia and Samsung phone ones are 5V but only 0.5amp causing the T428 to reboot at random
4) I noticed you cannot just use any micro usb cable to power the device, some seem 0.5ml too small and it it slips out (Stock cable is too short) best one that fits I have found so far was in Poundland but that is also quite short, it add about 6" and I need 18 - 24"
Thanks !

it is hard getting a 2amp power supply i feel you there i couldnt even boot my mk808 for the first 2 days due to not having
a. power capable cable
b. power capable plug adaptor
in the end i had to Frankenstein a power source using a nexus 7 plug and a sony camera usb cable.
the easiest option may be to go to argos or whatever store you have near you and get one of those multi-voltage chargers with mutil-point adaptors, at least then you can power any future device to whatever power it needs.
or just go amazon or a 2amp usb plug http://www.amazon.co.uk/Universal-Suitable-Smartphones-Portable-consoles/dp/B00270GAMS
thinking of getting one soon because im likely to buy more tv sticks in the future.
im still stumped that the mk808 came with jellybean but was flash compatible out of the box .
Thanks for the reply.... ordered the Amazon plug for £12
Tronsmart T428 does not start
Hey guys,
I ordered and received the Tronsmart T428 through geekbuying.com. I have problems getting it to work however. Can you please suggest a resolution?
Below are the steps I followed:
1. Connected the micro-usb to the wall-adapter, and the adapter to an electric socket. So, I see a red-light on the Tronsmart.
2. Connected the Tronsmart to a HDMI input on my TV (Sharp Aquos 42" 720p HDTV) and selected the appropriate input from the TV settings.
However, nothing shows up on my TV besides a message "An incompatible video signal has been received. Check the output device settings." and the whole screen is blank. I confirmed that the HDMI input on my TV works if my laptop is project on it... so the TV port works.
Then I connected the Tronsmart to my laptop (Windows 7) via the USB, it finds the drivers and shows 5.66 GB free out of 5.76 GB. Also, I see that it only contains 13 empty folders! Is it because the device is not rooted, and that there isn't sufficient permissions to view the files? Or is it that it shipped with nothing installed on the device?
At this point, I don't know if the device is defective or I am missing some step. I have emailed the customer-service and am yet to receive an answer. Has anyone come across this issue? Could anyone please guide me?
Thanks much!
Adi
Hmmm......Sounds like a defective power supply may have corrupted to stcik.....I would send back ASAP.......

It is possible that the resolution is set to 1080p. Try connecting your device to a TV with Full HD display (1080p). Then change the resolution in the settings to 720p. Had the same issue with my MK808B.

Yep, that did it. Thanks a bunch!
May be it should be pre-configured by the manufacturers for 720p out of the box, so it will work for everyone.. and then those with 1080p can change the settings.. just a thought. Thanks regardless.

True!
I just tested for Alternate mode over Type-C, to test for audio and video over DisplayPort. BINGO!
What we need
1. Essential PH-1 phone - Android version 7.1.1 - with screen rotation enabled on the phone
i. Tap and hold on the Home Screen
ii. Click - Settings
iii. Enable "Allow Home screen rotation"
i. Settings - Display - When device is rotated - Rotate the contents of the screen
2. USB Type C 3.1 cable capable of 5 amps support (can supply up to 100W power)
see https://plus.google.com/+BensonLeung/posts/eqJQbujcikq
May or may not work with a Type C 3.1 cable capable of only 3 amps. Don't have a cable to try.
Will not work with a Type C USB 2.0 cable - typical charging cable - not enough wires in the cable
I believe there is total of 6 different USB Type C cables available, the 3 listed below, with either 3 amp or 5 amp features
i. USB 2.0
ii. USB 3.1 Gen 1 - up to 5 Gbps
iii. USB 3.1 Gen 2 - up to 10 Gbps
3. A monitor with a USB Type-C 3.1 input - LG 4K Ultrafine Monitor
Don't have any knowledge, with respect to Thunderbolt 3 input monitors
e.g. LG 5k Ultrafine Monitor
Not all phones have a USB Type C with 3.1, Gen 1 or Gen 2. Most have only USB Type C 2.0 - cheaper components
Enjoy!
Does the Essential support a USB-C --> HDMI connection?

Yes it does. I even tested a USB-C --> VGA cable at work the other day and it worked fine.
Anyone got a link to a USB-C-->HDMI connector that they know works with this phone?
That was a real bummer with the Pixel line, that they don't support HDMI output at all. I am glad that this one does. Now I just need to know which connector to buy from Amazon...

Ok, that USB-C>HDMI adapter that I listed above from Amazon, works like a champ! Just plug it in and go, your phone's display instantly pops up on the monitor or TV.

Essential PH-1 with Samsung Dex Station
Hi All,
My Essential PH-1 works perfectly with the Genuine Samsung Dex Station as long as you use the Essential or Samsung Adaptive Charger cable connected to the dock.
The only item I could not get working consistently was the Ethernet connection - but all else worked perfectly.
HDMI out a 4K resolution (2160P)
2 x USB 2.0 ports
Quick Charge while docked ....
Temperatures remained stable at around 45-55 degrees Celsius while driving the external display.

Now all I need is a reliable Lineage 14.1 OS port with the Auxens OXI desktop embedded for this phone to easily rival my S8 in overall functionality and performance. The Sentio app I am using now is good - but not 100% there yet as it doesn't handle the screen properly due to the camera notch ... and the DPI settings are a bit wonky - but do work.

If you're wanting this functionality and are not on Oreo yet, wait to upgrade. Just got this nice detailed response from Samantha @ Essential CS: "While the Essential phone does support this capability, please note that DisplayPort™ is currently only working on devices with Android Nougat, not Android Oreo 8.0. Although the Essential phone is currently running on Android Nougat, we have plans to release Oreo 8.0 within the next several weeks. This is an developer issue across all devices, so unfortunately we can't control when a software fix will be implemented."

Pie does support it. If you have access to another adapter, I'd test it on the Essential. My PH-1 had faulty hardware preventing HDMI output last spring. I had to get it replaced to get it to work.

I emailed them asking why the adapters I bought weren't working on my Essential, and they told me that the phone isn't supported and they also don't have any adapters that support the device. I don't know why though, they didn't/couldn't give me an explanation. The email is in a pretty bad German, so you probably won't understand it, but I'll attach it anyway for reference. Sorry for the vagueness, should have made that clear at the beginning.

I got this one, but based off of another user indicating it woks, but that was on 7.1, not 8.0. I recently saw in another (or this) thread someone bought another adapter that someone said worked, but wasn't working for them on the beta. Makes me wonder if it's broken on the beta...
Mine definitely works with the beta, too.
The LeEco usb c earphones also works
I think I determined why this may not be working for some, your TV or monitor. The travel inspira hub will not work on any of my samsung TV's, in the MHL port or otherwise.
However, it does work on my Samsung S27E330 monitor. This leads me to believe that the TVs do not have the most recent version of MHL, and thus will not work. This is kind of a bummer because I intended to use this on my TV in the living room, but at least I can confirm the device does work with Beta 2. I have not returned the legacy adapter, so I will test using that as well and report back.

Interesting observation. I tested the adapter successfully on the HDMI 1/MHL port (didn't check the other ones) of our Samsung Smart TV from the C series, which is from 2010 I believe..
But I also think the issues that some people mentioned with normally working adapters are issues with the display device itself.

As in topic, does asus zenfone 6 have ability to stream out video through usb to hdmi adapter?
After some time android q will come to this device and it will contain native desktop mode so i would like to use it.
I'd like to know the answer as well.
Is it USB 3+ that can do video over type C?
For example One+ 6 has only USB 2.0 over type C, and doesn't support video, while Samsung has USB 3.1 over type C as expected that supports video over type C.
Sure simple type C to HDMI adapter will be needed.
I wasn't able to find any specs for Zen6 type C at all.
any one knows?

According to GSMarena it's 2.0.
I looked at the USB diagrams and it appears that alternate modes over USB-C use the same pins as SuperSpeed meaning that you can't have alternate mode without the other (but not vice versa).
Unless I'm missing something, there shouldn't be any display mode. However I'm not sure if the GSMarena data sheet is accurate.
I currently have sony xperia z3 compact which has usb 2.0 (micro usb, but this doesn't make change IIRC) and also support mhl (see gsmarena https://m.gsmarena.com/sony_xperia_z3_compact-6538.php). In my opinion it doesn't depend on version of usb which device is equiped with, at least it 's not the main reason for not supporting mhl. The question is, does mhl work on zenfone 6 with (potentially, because i couldn't find any information on asus website) usb 2.0 type c connector?

Display output via microusb worked differently as the regular port does not have the pins or bandwidth for it. I had an LG G2 which could also output a display signal. I think it's possible to do the same via USB-C but at the same time I think it's simpler to use alternate mode hence the conclusion I came up with. If I have the time I'll go digging around some more later.
I opened a ticket with ASUS support and they state none of the models they currently sell (including Zenfone 6) cand output HDMI over usb-C.
they might be stupid though, because ROG phone does.

I looked at a few things and I think I was correct in my first post. While I think it would be technically possible to implement MHL on USB-C like they did on MicroB (it would just piggyback off the necessary pins like it used to do), it doesn't seem like it would make sense to do that and I can't find an adapter/cable that would work in that scenario so you'd need 3.1 because they all require Alternate Mode support. However Alternate Mode is an optional spec so just because a device supports 3.1 doesn't mean it'll support display functionality.
I should also note that the ROG Phone has USB-C 3.1 according to GSMArena.
Another note is that it appears that MHL officially lists MHL as working on USB-C via Alternate Mode.
Meanwhile ASUS launching an external display that is advertised to support input from a mobile phone, but hey, no their latest flagship. they are so dumb they are launching devices that don't their other devices..
why would anyone cheap on using usb2.0 connector, when internally SD855 supports 3.1 and so does UFS2.1, is beyond me. It must save la 0.something to use 2.0 instead of 3.1

The OnePlus 6 does support HDMI out with a DisplayLink adapter. It's not great though, as you can't charge it at the same time and it runs the battery down incredibly fast, less than two hours.
Thanks for confirming it, it's a real downer situation though, I was really expecting to have the possibility to output videos through HDMI and potentially do the same with emulators + bluetooth joysticks (since it can handle even gamecube/wii games thanks to the SD855)

IIRC video output via Displaylink adapter works on every device if it can install displaylink app. Displaylink support doesn't depend on mhl support on specific device. I'm just to clarifying for internet strangers.

I'm right there with you buddy. I was so used to MHL that I never questioned whether newer phones would support it or the type-c equivalent. Trying to find a SD855 phone that charges while outputting video is hard enough, let alone one that's rootable with a headphone jack and a non-curved screen (my preference). I'm beginning to think we're going to have to wait until the holiday season when the ROG Phone 2 comes out. In the meantime I'm half-satisfied by using my tablet (shield) hooked to a monitor and keeping my emulator folders synced with my phone with Dropbox/SyncThing.

Nubia red magic 3 is your best best. It doesn't support HDMI output yet but apparently they've said they may support it in a software update. It has USB c 3.1. Also 90hz screen, headphone jack, 5000ma battery, SD 855, it even has a CPU fan lol. It's newly out but I think you can install twrp and root it but customs ROMs might be few if any. It's the closest phone I've found to meeting my needs of 3.5mm, SD 855 and HDMI. Only thing it's missing is expandable really.

Oh, and it's only £410.......
Hi, any news? Has anyone bought a displaylink product and used it working with the Zenphone 6?
Anyone having issues with the video output from the Asus Rog phone 5 via USB-C cable? It was working fine when I first got the phone. I've been using it to stream on my youtube channel. A few weeks ago it stopped working. I'm not sure if it got updated but I was previously on the WW18.0830.211.75 Firmware and I just updated it to the WW18.0840.2106.86. It still doesn't work. I know it's not a cable issue as it was working before and if I use a different Android phone it works fine. I did a full reset and my USB-C cable to HDMI was connected to the TV and I did see the ROG Logo appear for a few seconds on the TV display and after that nothing again. Any help would be appreciated. Also if anyone has the original 18.0810 firmware I would like to try that. The links on this site are dead. Thanks in Advance!

You can find your firmware there. The raw firmware is a base firmware. The updated versions to it are still base firmware. Getting the oldest one typically isn't a good idea unless you have tried a newer one and had an issue you are sure was the raw firmware.
You may want to check what settings are enabled in developer options. I believe they have changed in the last few updates, but there is a section related to freeform windows and mirroring that may help with HDMI output.
I was able to reload the original firmware WW_ZS673KS_18.0810.2101.95 and still no USB-C to HDMI output. Not sure if anything could be wrong with the USB-C port for the video but I am able to do a data connection to my computer. I may just claim for a warranty exchange.
Are you using the side port snd not the bottom one?

Yes side, I've been streaming with this phone when I first got it. Worked fine for a few months then it just stopped with the Rog 5. My other Android with my same setup works fine.
mind linking a picture of the adapter in question?
Have you tried another cable? I know you said the cable works with other phones, but I have seen cables work for some and not others.
You may want to contact Asus. That should be covered.
