Problem: Docking station & charging - Lenovo Yoga Book Questions & Answers

Hi everybody,
I connected my Windows YB to this i-tec docking: doubleudoubleudoubleu.i-tec-europe.eu/?t=3&v=85
Everything (external DVI monitor, mouse, keyboard, ethernet) works fine but the docking is not charging the YB.
The docking has a 5V=>2A charger.
Did anyone tried a similar solution and had all the external devices connected AND the YB charging? Or there is a limitation so or you charge or you attach stuff on the microusb?
thanks.

[Q] A500 to Computer monitor not working

I have a...
micro-hdmi -> hdmi cable,
adaptator F/F Hdmi
then Cable HDMI to DVI
because the monitor only has dvi and vga so i had do it this way.
But when i plug in the micro hdmi on the tablet it recognizes its plugged in but nothing shows on the monitor, its just black - but the tablet recognizes its plugged in via micro hdmi
This works on a hd tv just wont kick my monitor on
Anyone else had this problem or can help me?
Thanks,
Collin
Sounds like it's the monitor. If you're connecting to a DVI on it then it maybe that the tablet needs some sort of communication back
from the monitor that is only possible through an HDMI... since it's 'smarter' than a DVI. Probably...
Try using just the microHDMI adapter to a HDMI to DVI cable. All in one... you know HDMI on one end and a DVI on the other. So you end up with just 2 cables/pieces. Good luck!

[Q] Question about SlimPort

So the Nexus 4 doesn't have USB OTG support. That sucks. I'm fairly certain the answer on the following question will be "no", but I've still got hope.
With SlimPort, you can connect your Nexus 4 to a HDMI monitor, similar to MHL. It also charges your device. In my amazing Dell ST2220T touch monitor (well, the touch isn't so amazing, but the screen quality is), there are four USB ports. When I connect my Nexus 4 to my monitor with SlimPort, would I be able to plug in a keyboard and mouse in the USB ports on my monitor?
If not, I could use bluetooth (if you can connect multiple devices at least, both mouse and keyboard) or use the touch functionality on my monitor, but I'm not sure that works because it's a seperate cable.
It would be really cool to use the N4 as a sort of mini computer. Like Ubuntu had in mind. I can connect it to my speakers, to my monitor, I'm only hoping that I won't have to buy bluetooth accessoires. I prefer to use my wired accessoires, or if that isn't possible the touch functionality of my monitor, but I'm fairly both won't be possible.
the usb on your monitor would have a upstream connector that goes into your pc, so it won't work with phone,
you have to use bluetooth keyboard and mouse

So even if the N4 had USB Host support, I still wouldn't be able to use a wired keyboard and mouse together with the SlimPort, right? I doubt there's some adapter that can do both.
The slimport controller acts as a switch, it either routes usb or displayport signals though the data pins, the usb lanes are not connected while it's in use.
While displayport does contain aux pins for handling additional stuff such as usb (hypothetically?), those pins do not exist in our setup.

Continuum Doc - alternative options

I thought it can make sense to list here alternative options to use the continuum feature. Here is what I use:
- Aukey USB-C to HDMI adapter
- Supremery BT Keyboard within Touchpad
Good to see alternatives are working fine
Monoprice USB-C to HDMI adapter: works for video, but flaky connection. I also don't get any audio output.
Aukey USB-C to VGA adapter: the phone recognizes a USB device is connected, but doesn't work.
Microsoft Display Dock: Works well without issue of course. However, a few comments - it doesn't work without a power connection. It also doesn't like the Google dual-port USB-C charger and refuses to power up from that (despite the Google charger being capable of 5V / 3A just like the Microsoft one).
Works without issues with Apple USB-C Digital AV Multiport Adapter for Macbook 12 Retina. And does not need necessarily current.
Continuum works great with the "Microsoft Wireless Display Adapter" too, sound and vision go to the TV/Monitor and phone turns into Trackpad. Just like using the dock but less hassle and wires.
I also tried my Roku3, it works but can be a little flaky
It dosn't work with XCSOURCE USB-C 56k ohm to HDMI /USB 3.1 Multiport Adapter for MacBook LT11

USB port works great...flash drive and keyboard works smooth...BUT HDMI dosn't work at all
Everytime when HDMI cable is inserted phone throw an error with dosn't recognized USB...
Hello,
I also bought the Aukey -C USB to HDMI adapter.
But on 2 Samsung tv , I have problems of disconnection and resolution.
If anyone can help me ....
Thank you in advance
i bought vtin vs1-vvc9h from amazon. Video works.. But i could not make audio to work.
I also bought vicTsing mx-vs1-PCL005B from amazon too. And video worked but audio did not.
I know audio works on ms hd500 with same monitor and cables
The Microsoft wireless Display adaptor v2 works well in continuum mode unless you use 5GHz wifi, in which case it is extremely poor, sound and display stutters like there is no tomorrow.
My Surface pro 2 (normal extended display) has the same issues connecting to it with 5GHz wifi used.
So in short, connect to your internet with a 2.4GHz wifi AP if you intend to use The Microsoft wireless Display adaptor.
I'm quite tempted to get the dock now as one of my office PCs is about to have a catastrophic HHD fail and continuum will kill several birds with a single stone.

Some people on reddit used this and it worked. Can someone confirm?
I have a LG 42LA660s Smart TV, with Miracast enabled. I just connected my phone to a wireless display, and the Continuum works. It is not flawless but I am satisfied with it.

With the coming of the new Macbook with USB-C, there are now quite a few new and cost effective alternatives on the market. I recently bought an unbranded dongle/dock thing which is advertised as to be used with the new Macbooks. It has a USB-C connector on one end, with a USB-A port, HDMI-out port, and USB-C charging port on the other. Works really well, got it for about 1100 INR / 17.50 USD
My display dock HD 500 with a lumia 950 does only view 720p on my full HD TV. Is there any chance to force 1080p output?
I'm gonna check this tomorrow on work where mine Lumia950 and HD500 are and a Dell 24" FHD screen.
Works fine with my Surface Go tablet and LG FHD 55" television. Surface Go with USB-C kabel and LG-tv with HDMI.
And also my Lumia950 works with it on my LG-tv or at work on HP 24".

No screen on Monitor via USB-C/HDMI

​Hello guys. If any of you have some experience with docking stands, I'd appreciate some help.
I have the following docking stand​.
It has an USB-C input. Internet (via ethernet port), USB keyboard and mouse is connected to the dock. A Dell P2210 (temporary) monitor is connected to the dock via DisplayPort.
I tried to connect the S8 to it and almost everything works beside the video.
The phone charges, the mouse cursor is moving on the phone screen and can type with the keyboard, but there is no video on the monitor.
The S8 says HDMI Connected, and also the monitor does not say when selecting DisplayPort input the "NO SIGNAL DETECTED" as usual.
Maybe some setting is needed? Displayport can be the issue?
Just to be clear, I do not want to run DeX on the docking station, just mirror the screen to the monitor.
Try using Sidesync from Samsung and it works on WiFi as well as using the existing USB C type cable for mirroring on screen. But for that to work your monitor needs to be connected to a PC.

Charge and use USB Ethernet

Ok, I'll try to explain the situation I have here:
I own a Moto Z Force with Moto Snap Projector and it's a great device to do stuff. Since I don't use it as a phone anymore, I can use it as a media player (Kodi, Netflix, Amazon...), videogames (Snapdragon 820 is awesome for emulators) and streaming console (PS4, PS3, Xbox One, Geforce Now and Steam).
What I want is use USB Ethernet and charge it at the same time. I bought an USB-C Hub, with a port for charging, but it didn't work. Since the projector is plugged on it, it has 2 USB-C ports, so I plug the charger on the projector port and it starts to charge. When I plug, for example, a thumb drive on the other USB-C, the original port for charging, the charger stops charging and it'll read the thumb drive.
The point is: I can't read the thumb drive and charge the cellphone battery at the same time. Any ideas why?! Any ideas what I must do in order to charge it and use USB LAN Ethernet at the same time on it?
Thanks a lot!
