Samsung DeX: Few things to be aware of when buying 3rd party usb-c to hdmi adapters for use w/ DeX.

[@AIDAVUE]

Spectrum - That so cool. I guess I'm doing something right! Lol

[@jacksonblack9408]

I don't usually comment, but I wanted to say some things here. First, good job on making a useful video. The umming and slow pace does make it look less professional, but you presented all the relevant info. It is a good video. Two, yes scripts will help, but if you are a heavy procrastinator its better to put a bad video out first, and then work on an improved one to replace it. Three, rather than looking at it as 'one big video', instead see it as a series of scenes. The reason you're a bit nervous talking is because you're trying to keep 15min of dialogue in your head. If you broke it up into 5x 3min scenes, it wouldn't be so stressful. That's how the pros do it. The fact you covered just about everything in a 15min off the cuff video is a testament to your ability. Good luck and I hope you make many more useful videos

[@Mechaneer]

I have a Note 8 and Dex still turns on with a simple aftermarket $8 USB-C to HDMI adapter I got on Amazon. The adapter does not provide power, but still initiates Dex on my phone. I am able to do the screen mirroring or use it as a computer, but for screen mirroring when I play a KZbin video for instance (the whole reason I got the adapter), it only plays video and not audio. I know it's not the cord or TV because I've used the same HDMI cord to plug into my computer and play movies from my laptop on my tv, and the audio comes out of the tv as desired when I do that. So I think it's this cheap adapter. Even though it still initiates Dex and displays video, it does not push through the audio.

[@AIDAVUE]

Thanks for sharing. That's the first I have heard of it. Strange indeed. Maybe try updating the phone's software?

Easy checks are to make sure all connections are secure, monitor set on correct input, if adapter has power then connect it, and finally, wait a few moments longer for DeX to load. Also, you can try making sure your phone's software update. It could also come down to bad adapter, or hdmi cord. Hope that helps.

[@Romif_SK]

For all who are interested in using Samsung DeX. Be careful with what type of dongle (hub) you are about to buy. I bought Verbatim usb C hub. DeX works, but only in HD and FULLHD. HUB supports resolutions up to 4K 30 Hz, but from some weird reason DeX is not compatible with this hub so I can't use higher resolution than FULLHD.

[@AIDAVUE]

Correct. Thanks for sharing.

[@Romif_SK]

Today I bought original Samsung multiport adapter. Guess what ! It still doesnt allow me to choose higher resolution than FULLHD.. I tried it with my Galaxy S10 running on Android 10. But I have also Galaxy TAB S5E which still has Android 9. To my suprise Galaxzy TAB automatically selected UWFHD which is correct resolution of my monitor.

Yes, you can do it with DeX, but it would be a wired setup. You mentioned screen mirror. If you want to go that route, I actually suggest Google Chromecast. You can do the same, but it's wireless, you save battery life, and multitask on your phone while streaming.

Hey I hope you can help me. I have the silver adapter. Sometimes it works like a charm but sometimes it shows like is not connecting with the TV. I do have a Vizio smart TV but haven't been able to figure out how to screen mirror so I don't have to use an HDMI cable. I am ok with connecting it through the HDMI but my issue is that sometimes it works but sometimes it stops working and it "disconnects" and I'm not able to re connect.

[@AIDAVUE]

I would check hardware first (different hdmi cable, adapter, usb-c port loose, etc.) since you said it sometimes works. If still no, second I would update your phone's software and see if that sovles it. Plus the new Samsung One UI and newer Android OS has "Smart View" feature from the phone's pulldown menu. Once it's enabled, you just have to find the screen mirror option on your Vizio. Then you can go cable less. Try looking for "mirrorcast" or something similar on the TV. Hope that helps and good luck!

Hi Aidavue! As you know after android 10 update this has changed a lot. I have s9+ so have you tried after the update? After android 10 I started using dex daily on my laptop in order to not to switch back and forth between PC and Phone with charging cable. But I'm facing with some connectivity issue so I thought better if I get a USB type C to HDMI cable. But the question in my mind that if I get that cable will I be able to use dex on any screen as well? If the answer is no I will go for hub option. Please help me OUT =))

[@AIDAVUE]

Thank you for commenting, Abdullah. Yes, DeX for PC has been acting weird after the new update. Right now, I'm using the Note 10+ & S20+ and they do work with the cable. But it has been brought to my attention, the max resolution for cable is 1080p I do not have a S9 anymore, so I cannot comment. My personal is a S8+ which I keep updated, and DeX works fine with cable and plug. Thanks!

Try diff hdmi cable and different display. Different hdmi port, what device are you using, you might have to ultimately get another adapter, dock or hub. I have a note 9 and tab s6 and I'm trying to get wqhd set. But I have the same adapter. I might have to get a Samsung branded one

can you help me how to connect my Samsung galaxy tab s3 to projector. I have tried many USB type c to HDMI converter. But couldn't connect

[@AIDAVUE]

Unfortunately the Tab S3 does not have Samsung DeX feature. You will only be able to use the cable to screen mirror the tablet to projector. You can use the SmartView feature located from the drop down menu from notification bar. Or you can do it by downloading Google Home, then use its casting feature, but will need Chromecast dongle connected to projector.

[@RenTagaro]

How did you do it? I have windows 10 and a s20 plus phone. Downloaded Samsung Dex in my windows 10. Got myself a type-c to HDMI (direct cord) and connected it to my windows 10 laptop but its not working. not even detecting it on my phone. what do you think is the problem? is it only working on PC and TV?

[@AIDAVUE]

So it's totally different for PC. Grab your USB-C charge/cable cord and watch this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jGKrlpdua910q7M There's also a Link to PC method that I need to do a video for.

[@RenTagaro]

@@RenTagaro You need to try a different cord or an official Samsung. They picky, but mine is 3rd party. Just need to make sure the cord is data & charging.

@@AIDAVUE yeah. Got mine from a samsung store. But I guess thats only intended for a smart tv or pc monitor i guess. Maybe I have to find a cheaper from from third party as well . The type-c I'm referring to is the cord from the box with the phone, still not working. I dunno.

Is that usb type c power source need to always on for use dex or just plug without power ?

[@ThaKidSno]

So I have an hdmi adapter and a galaxy s8. I tried connecting to my TV. It connected and I saw my phone screen on my TV, but then almost instantly it disconnected and then reconnected and kept doing this while the adapter was connected to my phone. Am I doing something wrong? Does my TV not support this??

[@AIDAVUE]

Your TV should support it, since DeX works with anything w/ a HDMI input. I would check hardware first (loose connections, loose ports, different cable, adapter might be going out, etc.) Second would be to update your S8's software. Hope that helps and good luck.

[@ThaKidSno]

@@AIDAVUE thank you, I'll definitely take look at the connections. I'm using and old hdmi cable so that may be the problem

i was looking on ebay and most of the adapter like the one in the video say for mac book pro will those work?

[@AIDAVUE]

Hi Eduardo, thanks for viewing. There maybe a bit of confusion. Those adapters will work on HDMI monitors and TVs, but not on a Mac book. There's is a feature called DeX for PC, which you can download the client software on your Mac. Then use a regular USB-A to USB-C cord, to connect. Hope that clears things up a bit.

@@eduardoherrera1974 Even better if you have a Windows 10 PC. Download DeX for PC software, use your charging cable to connect your Samsung phone to computer. Then you will have DeX on your computer monitor. Only buy the adapter if you want to use it on a HDMI TV or monitor.

[@joexg50]

@@AIDAVUE Darn it.. has to be a phone then hey?? Which I do not have

[@AIDAVUE]

@Joe G Unfortunately yes and no. DeX takes a lot of processing power, so Samsung usually makes it available on their S and Note series phones. As for tablets, DeX is on the Tab S4, and Tab S6. IDK why they do this, but if DeX works on my GS8+, some of these newer phones, and tablets are way more powerful and should be able to handle it. It stinks IMHO.

@@AIDAVUE just went to samsung page looked up Dex, did not mention type of tablet or anything it/ the questions told me that it does with instructions on how to activate it. I just bought my Samsung tablet will be here Monday. Will let you know, hope it works cause i want this feature. Tablet i bought lot cheaper than a phone which i do not need.

@@joexg50 Hope it works out for you 🤞 I remember when the Galaxy Fold came out and it didn't have DeX. I was like WTF? But a software update added the feature. Hope it will be the same process for Tab A7, b/c the specs of the tablet seems to be able to run DeX.
