So i was thinking of buying the nextdock the "laptop" that works with connecting the phone with it and i was wondering whether it should work with the desktop experimental mode of xiaomi phones likes mi 9t.
Also wanna know if has video support output over usb-c needed for nextdock as i dont seem to find an answer anywhere.
Thanks in advance.

Hy everyone,
First of all, thanks for this great forum which never fails to impress me.
I have a question which some of you might help answering: I'm wondering if it's possible to use the mini-usb port of my smartphone to get some data input.
Let me explain myself a bit more: I know that smartphones (HTC Touch for me) aren't USB hosts. However, the data connexions are still present.
Here's what I'd like to do: even though the smartphone can't control another peripheral, I'd like that external peripheral to send data to the smartphone, and the smartphone to use that data to control the screen. That would give an alternative way of controlling the screen.
The input would come from another touch surface, so my guess is that using the data to control the screen shouldn't be much of a problem.
So? Any idea if it's possible? What kind of platform/language would be nice to do that? C#?
(I have JAVA development experience, but I'm quite a newbie as far as Win Mobile devs are concerned. I'm willing to learn though
I think I searched this forum (and others) quite extensively before posting. If by any chance I missed a related post, I'd be glad to know about it
No ideas? Anyone?
Last up before I stop...
prob. not
i dont think that is technically possible. i think one has to be the host, and that host provides power. so to power the input device(im thinking keyboard) it would need the smartphone/ppc to be a host....
but i have no clue in this area...maybe someone could prove me wrong?
Hey, thanks for your answer.
The powering issues could be overcomed by cutting the cables and giving power from an external power source (I think several people have tried doing it, I need to find the links again). By the way, the peripheral itself is plugged on 110V, so there's plenty of available power
I'm not seeking here to "control" the device, just to aquire the signal it's sending... Does that seem feasible, or does the peripheral need to be somehow "activated" by a Host before sending anything?
Well, in order to get data, the host must ask the slave each time it needs some. Other things must be done by the host, like usb enumeration. That means there has to be a host or it won't work, unless you use usb on-the-go, but I do not know many devices that support it.
according to the qualcomm website, the msm chipsets support otg
I want to be able to plug a standard usb webcam "type" device into my A500.
I bought off a usb microscope off Ebay. It is recognized under windows xp - 7 as a usb hid device. It did not even come with a driver disk, since everything recognized it automagically. I tried it last night under 3 different linux distro's and they detected it with no issue.
Does anyone know of a way? It would be so much easier to carry the tablet with me, vs a laptop, not to mention much better battery life so I can be in the field longer without a recharge.
I think the A500 needs root for it to go into host mode. Do you have it rooted? I don't think I have heard of any webcam device working on Android with a simple plug and play, but who knows.

Oh yeah I'm rooted, running a custom rom. I'm not scared to get my hands dirty either if someone knows of a solution
Hello, I'm looking also to find a solution for a webcam. But no lock so far.
Once I tried one on a older tablet running 1.6 and it worked but as it had the drivers build in loaded but I had to use a special camera apk.
So I think we need to have two things (maybe this is obvious for you)
1) the correct drivers loaded (we need to find them)
2) The correct app that let us choose the usb camera as I think they enumerate starting as 0... Or can create one
But to me the hardest part is finding the correct drivers.
Could you share the a link to that ebay microscope ? I might get one of the same so we can play with the same thing.
Thx
Hello all,
I was finally able to connect my Nexus Q to a TV after waiting about a week for an OTG cable in the mail. Since set up I have noticed that the output from the Q is slightly larger than the display I am using. I haven't been able to find a solution within the settings, and I've found no information online due to the rarity and limited support of this product. If anyone could help point me in the direction of some kind of solution I would greatly appreciate it!

Might sound silly, but did you make sure your TV isn't zooming in? TVs do that to make non wide screen content fit the whole screen

I did go in and check that, but changing those settings didn't work. I began swapping other settings I saw to see what would work, and it turned out changing the "Overscan" to "off" solved the problem completely.
i do not have an overscan option, still having this issue.

What TV are you using? Are you using any adapters?
apex tv, just have the micro hdmi to HDMI port. I have it plugged into slot 1, had it in slot 2 and makes no differences by port
Has anyone had success with this? I just got CM 10.1 running on my Q, and the image extends off the screen's physical area in every direction. I also haven't got an OTG cable yet so I can't really do anything, but that's another issue...
Anyway, my Q is hooked up through a Harman/Kardon receiver, and I've had issues with Linux PCs not reading the EDID info properly in the past, so I suspect it's a similar problem. The stock firmware didn't seem to have a problem though, and neither does the Chromecast or any commercial device.
There's gotta be a way to adjust the video mode timing, right?
Hello all, can someone please let me know if my Letv leeco le pro 3 x722 does have support for DP Alt Mode?
I would like to use my phone directly connected to a pc monitor via hdmi, I know I can use chrome cast devices like the chrome one or similar but they don't the same thing as I really wanted screen mirroring. Thank you very much in advance. Kind regards to all
I would like to connect 727 directly to my TV via the hdmi port as well any suggestions?
Hi guys, long time Android enthusiast.
I would like to enquire if anyone knows if the Oneplus 8 pro has the required v4l2 drivers to support OTG webcams. Software support is finicky between manufacturers (some just didn't implement it)
Could someone help me test? You can try out with a otg type c and this app:

Bump! can anyone help me test! I really need to know this information.
Does any one know this information or any links to OTG testing?

Only thing that I know is that otg usb memory stick works just fine.
Edit. Ask some of the kernel devs via priv message. They know more

Thanks for the tip, however, I think its abit overkill. haha. Just need someone with and OTG hub to test with a webcam.
Tried my USB-borescope (camera with a flexible tube and led lights) with OTG cable and it works just fine
Edit.. no idea about the sound tho, since that camera doesn't have any mic.
Aarrgghh. I need an adapter to make my old device connect to the new phone...
