Hello,
I switch to the OPN, and I also ordered a Nexdock for my courses. In summary, it's a laptop form factor and all the processing is done with the phone.
I just realised the OPN only have a UFS 2.1 port, and I don't know if I can plug a display on it.
Did someone already tried to get desktop mod with the OPN ?
Should I cancel my order or get another phone for that use ?
Thank you in advance.
i am 85% sure that OPN does not support this. on top of that the USB is 2.0 however connector is type C so study before taking risk

A couple of questions:
What ROM are you using?
What version of Windows is your main computer running?
Has ANYTHING changed between it working and it not? (Automatic updates, new software installed, installed drivers for a new USB device, etc)
Does the PDA recognise that it is charging/has external power?
Can you borrow a different cable\somebody else's computer to test it on?
Just as a test, try going into your settings, in the connection tab and go into "USB to PC". Try ticking\unticking the checkbox labeled "Enable advanced network functionality"
If the cable is broken, best thing to do is to buy a new one - its probably not worth the money to repair it (try looking on EBay - any mini-usb cable SHOULD suit the Universal)
(ps. are you sure you should be posting in here? I think you probably should have put it into the main section for Universals)
hi TehPenguin
thx for your reply
as i said before i am a total newbie and so dont know were to check wot ROM i am using.from where can i check.the fone come with WM6 installed(it does not have video calling however)
i am runnig windows xp sp2 on my pc.
when i plug in wall charger ,pda recognizes it
no mew software were installed from the time it was working(after that i installed a couple of spb programmes via bluetooth)
i tried my cable on my fiends foned and it worked,i tried my fone with my friends cable and it didnt work,that is why i am thinking it is something to do with my mini usb connector.
can some admin move this post to appropriate section or do i repost there again?
tnx again

Okay, Windows XP is a good start - and its nice to see that you did some test to figure out where exactly the bug is
I find it unusual that your phone came with WM6 already on it - unless it was second hand... You can check your windows version by going into the settings, under the "System" tab and opening "About", at the top of this it should have "Windows Mobile(R) 6 Professional" or something like that
Here are some more things to try:
Have the phone off and disconnected, then plug in the cable (this seems to work for me if I have problems)
Go into your settings, under the connection tab and go into "USB to PC". Try unticking the checkbox labeled "Enable advanced network functionality"
I think that the second one is most likely the way to fix it. Also what version of ActiveSync are you running (At the top of ActiveSync there is a "Help" menu, select the "About Microsoft ActiveSync" - this should give you version info). If the activesync is anything less than version 4.5 - look for an update on Microsoft's website
And one last thing - no offence, but - one thing I don't like is people using "IM spk" for forums. I understand if you aren't fluent in English but please try...
Enjoy!
TehPenguin
thanks again for your help.
first I would like to say that i do not know what you mean by IM spk ?sorry if I broke any rules
the phone is not new,i bought it off e-bay
I am running activesync 4.5 on my pc which if i am not mistaken is the latest version available.
I will check about what version i have later,as I dont have phone with me currently,but what I can say is the version i have does not support video calling,and it does not have the Phone pad facility in the entering text options.
No harm done with the "IM spk" (its just one of the things I don't like - I'm sure you read my post on the Ultimate ROM)
Did you try any of my other suggestions?
Also, you may wish to upgrade your Universal to a new ROM (I believe that Ivan is uploading one as I type) or go to an official WM5 ROM from a manufacturer - it is possible that the ROM you are using is defective...
just to let you know
problem fixed.it was a hardware problem after all,took it to a local technician who fixed it up for me
all back to normal now
thanks for your help m8

That's for a Wallaby. The Uni has a USB socket soldered straight to it's mobo. It depends if the damage has ripped any tracks from the mobo. It may be a straight solder replacement, or you may need to follow the tracks slightly to solder further along them. I'm sure a competent solderer would be able to help if you showed them it. Or upload a picture of the damage and we can all have a look
Hi,
Saturday I had some time to open the HDMI dock (for Galaxy Tab 7) and mod it to have alternative power input.
After that I was able to use the HDMI output and USB host at same time. The setup is:
- HDMI out for Samsung TV
- wireless USB keyboard
- external HDD connected with a powered HUB
In this setup I was able to use the keyboard and video files from external HDD while watching on TV screen.
The only problem is that the "MTP Application" notification is still there and the tablet is not full powered from external power supply, it discharges slowly the battery.
After some investigation I've seen that on the original charger there seems to be some resistors between USB lines and Vusb and GND. If I connect the original charger (not inserted on power outlet) the tablet is full powered and the MTP Application is not displayed (when I put the tablet in dock). After that if I remove the cable and insert the USB host cable everything is OK and tablet is full powered with USB host and HDMI working.
The docking is powered with 5V/2A PDA DC adapter.
When I'll open the dock again I will make some picture.
Your are welcome for questions and suggestions.

HOW MUCH?
Cant believe this is my first post on any message board EVER but what better reason! First i would like to know how much would u charge to make the modification for me? I would provide the dock and any other materials that u need of course. Secondly, since the dock works with ALL tab variants(PERSONALLY ONLY TESTED WITH P1000, P7100, P6200, P6210 BUT 99% CERTAIN), u might want to post your development in every other versions forum. I believe this would generate a LOT more interest in this project because there actually has already been a few threads created in which several attempts were made but no one could find the magic combo(plus it could mean a few extra bucks in your billfold!). I waited to post in hopes that u would update with pictures and/or a tutorial but still would rather you perform the actual surgery. Congratulations on accomplishing what samsung should have done from the start...a TRUE multimedia dock! I guess the only suggestion i could offer is if it were possible to actually add a few usb ports into the base of the hdmi dock itself, which is how i feel samsung should have made it originally...definitely not a priority.
Here are a few reference threads if interested & i've already provided a link in each one pointing to your original post for those interested (hope u dont mind!)

Sorry, but I can't do this for you.... It's complicated.
Now I work to found a solution to put an USB connector on the dock and to put a power connector to.
The big problem is that the tab enters on MTP mod when powered this way. As described on other threads there is a way with USB lines to activate full external power.
When I'll have a full modification dock I'll put some pictures and instruction for that.
waiting for pics and further info please...
Galaxy Tab Dock modified
Now I have a full functional dock, modified.
So, after receiving the Galaxy Tab Plus media dock from ebay I've found that I can change the tab fixing part with the one on the old Galaxy Tab Dock.
So, now I have old Galaxy Tab multimedia dock full compatible with my Galaxy Tab Plus.
Then I modified the dock to include standard power jack and standard miniusb connector for OTG.
The USB Host is powered from the external power supply, this helps to not discharge the battery when using tab and slow charging.
I made some pictures with details for connections and modification.
You can view at:

There was some work to do...is not very easy. The best thing that can be done is to make a PCB. That PCB, at in my pictures, could be fixed near metal weight. Also there the clips of the case need to be cut, but there is no problem because at same position exist screws for fixing.
The problem with MTP application started when power connected or tab inserted on dock remains. But now is easier to use external HDD, usb keyboard & mouse and television to watch movies.
That's amazing, Emil! That's the dock accessory Samsung should have sold in the first place. After looking over your pictures, I'm ready to go order a soldering iron and get to work!
Hi emil b just letting you know i was playing around with my dock and found how to get rid of the red x from when power is applyd.
First connect power and get red x....
Then disconect the earth and re connect it again..
This forces AC Charge mode...
No resisters or shorting data lines are needed..
So good for being in host mode...
All you need to do is put a on/off switch inline on the earth
Where you supplied power to the dock.
Doesnt need to be inside the dock..
Give it a try and let me know...
Just have to play with it and hit switch a couple of times...
Im looking at all options concerning the modification of this dock. One question that comes to mind is: If I only use the red and blackwires to send power to the USB connector, will I still be able to use the OEM 30 power connector??
OP, I am going to attempt to make this modification myself. Would you be able to provide any additional instructions/suggestions to the pictures up on Flickr?
Thanks,
cypher

No because the origonal charger has the resisters on the data lines...
you are better to add just power to pin 7(9) and earth to pin (1)30..
then add a otg dongle..
Hello Com,
Is it possible to be able to quick charge a tablet while having an active data connection at the same time?
Why I ask?
I want to build a solution where a tablet is connected to a pc. Both need to have a steady data connection as they share information and custom events. The tablet is for interacting with the user an will run a custom app. The computer is for controlling and operating other stuff the tablet is not capable of. Because of easy and fast substitutions, the tablet will have to stay in delivery condition - so modding the tablets hard-/software is out of question. The solution runs 24/7 and my current tests show that the power of the tablet is drained faster than it is recharged via the usb connection to the computer.
I tried to find accessories, but did not find any. All I found were ambigious information.
I know that the usb specification does not allow quick charge (more than 450mA) and a simultaneous data connection via a (single) cable. I thought of something like the splitted y-cable we know from external harddrives. Or maybe a custom adapter were you plug in an additional charger like those active usb hubs. I want to stay away from wireless data transmission (like using bluetooth and connecting a quick charger) if possible.
Therefor I ask of the general possibility of how to accomplish my task. If it is only possible with refaining from usb at all, then please tell me how.
(Please do not suggest solutions, without (at least theoretically) verifying them yourself first.)
Great thanks in advance.
Greetings!
and sorry if I'm doing anything wrong here I'm just wondering, I was amazed with the samsung dex app you download from their site
connect your phone to pc via a usb-c cable and that's it you get a desktop
the desktop/window mode thing I guess is already existing to be used when you connect your phone to a monitor via type-c to HDMI
but is there anyway I could copy that mechanism to my windows pc ?
I've been searching for a while and really didn't get any results
Thanks so much in advance to anyone who would try to help !
Get a usb c to hub adaptor from the interwebs. Download taskbar and second screen from playstore. feels like crap, throw everything to trash.
Dex app
I use the OnePlus 7pro and the sentio app for my nexdock 2

My Samsung S9 has had some screen damage and the touchscreen mostly does not work.
In order to navigate it I must use a mouse that I connect to the phone using the supplied USB C- A adapter.
I wish to get my phone repaired but I wish to backup all the data upon it first.
If I plug my phone directly into my PC, it asks for my permission to allow the PC access. However, since the touchscreen does not work properly, I cannot press the button to accept.
I could not plug both the mouse and PC simultaneously.
So I bought a USB-C hub. (Actually I've bought several, none of them have worked, this latest one is the most expensive and I had hoped it would work - (https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07ZVKTP53/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1).
It has a separate port for USB-C Power Delivery and a separate one for data.
I plug the attached USB-C cable from the hub into my phone, and then I plug my mouse into a regular USB port, my charger into the USB-C PD port, and another USB-C to A cable from the USB-C Data port on the hub into a USB port at the back of my (new) PC.
Now my computer does not recognise my phone at all, nor does my phone seem to acknowledge it is connected to a PC. The mouse still works upon the phone and it charges fine through the PD port. If I plug the phone straight into the PC, it is recognised, so I do not think the problem lies there. The hub seems to block communication between the phone and PC.
I would like to backup my data and get my phone repaired. If anyone can solve the USB-C Hub issue or propose another solution to my problem then I would be grateful.
A mouse and keyboard will take priority over anything else in a hub.
I'm betting the hub's power is 2000mA or 2.0 Amps.
What does your fone charger state its power is? Add the mouse, keyboard, and fone's milliamps together. If it's more than the hub's power pack supplies....
In this situation, I would use Vysor, this will defo solve your problem, it allows you work with your fone on your pc/lappy by providing a lovely window that is a duplicate of your fone screen, you'll be glad you found this!!!
I can provide an old cracked version I used for my emergencies, if there is no objections?
Then you'll only need the mouse to use as your finger
Google Vysor. case closed lol.

Hi
Thanks for your reply
It's not a battery hub, but just a USB-C hub (check the link). Power comes from the PD USB-C port which is hooked up to my phone's original USB-C charger.
It also fails to work even when a mouse isn't attached to it.
I will look into Vysor. Also thought about the possibility of using a standalone bluetooth mouse which would free up the cable.
Your fone will suck the life out of a poorly powered hub, by using vysor, your pc/lappy mouse will work your fone using vysor, best app I've ever seen for working with broken screens, just plug phone direct into lappy, vysor works if you've no screen at all!!!!!
Use
Vysor

Dont pay for mouses/hubs in this scenario. Just pay for a top quality tool. I would place this as my number one android tool for ANY fone.
Again, if all your doing is data recovery (saving your stuff) I have a patch for an earlier version to unlock full version I swear by, you could use this once if only to try before you buy
The hub supports 85W fast charging directly from mains, which is what it is getting.
How do I enable USB debugging specifically for the app?
I have enabled it in developer options but when I connect my phone via USB to my computer as per the Vysor app, another window pops up on my phone asking to allow USB debugging. Ask there is no mouse attached to the phone at this point, I am unable to allow it.
