S9 not working with 3rd party dex station - Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers

I got a cheap ebay dex station and it works perfectly with s8 but doesn't work with s9. I know S9 is compatible with the old version of the original samsung dex station. So is there anything I can do to make this work on s9. I have the link below of the dex station.

Yes, you can. I only have the Dex Station myself, and I can confirm it works great with the S9+.

VESA DisplayPort Alternate Mode

Does anyone know if the ROG phone supports this? I want to use the phone in desktop mode, but $230 for the dock sounds insane when there are alternatives for $40. In other words, do generic dongles work for video output or do we need to buy Asus brand?

Well, it did until I updated the fan firmware.. right now I'm not sure if any HDMI/DP Alternative solution works (including their own) but hopefully they'll fix this soon.. I'm writing an email to asus support about right now.
You can use any of your choice, but just do know they all only do screen mirroring (even the offical Asus ROG ones) so you will be getting a small screen experience just on a larger screen really, so everything will be pretty blown up big style just so you know. The ONLY feature you don't get with unofficial devices is the lack of the keymapper option (that is until someone finds a way to mod/hack/activate that feature hidden from us all), so if you don't care for that then you are good to go with whatever you choose.
Not working
No, it's not working properly. I tried with the Lenovo-USB-C-Dock and two USB-C-Hubs from Aukey.
Asus implemented the DP-Alternate-Mode not correctly, it's not telling the Monitor the Refresh-Rate which leads to weird screen-flickering if ur using an 144Hz-Monitor...
The Keymapping-function keeps hidden and the Phone will not lock into landscape mode. Their own Strix-Fusion-Headset is also not working via USB.

I don't think any higher then 90hz refresh rate monitors will work, as I have tried a 90hz free sync (or was it gsync?) Monitor and the sync mode was active too.
Of course the key mapping will stay hidden as their not the official Asus ROG accessory plugged in when having a 3rd party connected with kb+m.
I dunno about your headphones as I don't use the same but I'm using a wireless Sony Pulse 7.1 headset via its wireless signal dongle just fine.
What firmware are you on and which version do you own CN or WW?
So a USB C to display port will work?

Have you got a link to the cable you were using please?
Is there a cheap dongle available?
Update to my original reply; I did get it to work with a cheap USB-C dongle but I had to remove and re-attach the USB-C power first ( and sometimes the HDMI cable )
.. currently my phone is on service however since a couple of weeks.. and it looks like I managed to be the first to break the screen on this phone in Sweden so nobody knows how to repair it =)

S9+ DeX mode with generic adapter

Hi All
Has anybody managed to get DeX to kick in when connected to an non genuine adapter? Got a £18 generic USB.c to HDMI and power and although the display shows a mirror of my phone screen and the phone charges ok, Dex refuses to kick in. I don't see a way to manually start it. Tried connecting all in different order, tried usb keyboard and all other suggestions I found while researching my issue, but nothing works.
Weird thing is that my mate's Note9 works ok with the same adapter...
Suggestions welcome.
Thanks
When I was on CR15 Pie it would kick on when I plugged my generic hdmi-c adaptor. It worked but had colored lines randomly across the screen probably due to CR15 being a leaked beta version, but DEX kicked on automatically on my S9+ (G965U)
Now that I'm back on Oreo its back to only mirroring the screen as normal.
I am waiting for a more interesting answer from other friends

The Note 9 doesn't need a Dex device for Dex mode to work. It works with anything, even just a USB-C > HDMI cable.
But the S9/S9+ DOES need a Dex device for Dex mode to work.
There are some 3rd party devices that manage to get it working. Usually these are devices that say they are specifically for Nintendo Switch. They'll sometimes also list Dex too.

You can't just use any random USB-C to HDMI adapter.

Official Samsung Note 3 Back Cover with Qi Adapter

Samsung released an official back cover that could support qi charging. I doubt I'll be able to find this new but does anyone know where I can find it used at least? I tried ebay but couldn't find anything. Here's an article about it:

Wireless charging is becoming something I look for in a new device, mainly down to ease of use. I'm lazy basically, just plonking down a phone onto a
