Hello, can someone try a USB-C to HDMI adapter with Motorola One Zoom please ?
It should work because its USB-C port is a USB 3.1 like Motorola Z4 (which has HDMI out over USB-C confirmed) and they nearly have same specs but still no proof for One Zoom

Thank you guys
Yes!
Hello, I am happy to report that the Motorola One Zoom indeed has HDMI out over USB-C, just tried to connect it via USB-C to a portable projector (Viewsonic M1) and it works! :good:

Thank you @PrimosuTech it's very helpful ! I didn't know there were projectors with USB-C video input, so you used a USB-C to USB-C cable ?
But again, thank you PrimosuTech ! :good:

You're welcome booldega! Yes, I used an USB-C to USB-C cable for it, the Viewsonic M1 is a pretty cool portable projector I must say...
Anyway to clear you out any doubts today I have also tried an actual USB-C to HDMI cable to connect the Motorola One Zoom to a Monitor and again it worked perfectly so 100% there is HDMI over USB for our phone, yay!
Ciao from Italy!
I tried usb-c to hdmi (via Microsoft dongle) did not work.
I used a Dell docking station with USB C, it is made for laptops, but it worked without any problem. It outputs video to both plugged monitors at the same time, as well as sound. I don't know if you can use double monitors for anything else than mirroring in Android, or if in makes sense otherwise. Usb mouse and keyboard work, as well as fast charging.
But it works.
does it has a desktop mode like dex?emui?
Today I've tested usb-c connection to monitor.
Android 10 works very well. It's possible to split apps, basically do everything - screen will be mirrored to a monitor.
If they're speakers built-in in, you'll also hear sound from monitor. Watching videos from camera becomes even easier.

No it doesn't. It's just a screen mirroring, not a screen extension or a particular mode.
I tried a micro USB to HDMI (with a usb C adaptor) and didn't work
I just tested USB-C to HDMI hub and it works. To be exact its ABASK adapter. Also charging while child USBs are connected is working, so this makes a nice work station. I'm surprised why Lenovo isn't adverising this feature.
I wonder what are the requirements for the cable to make it work.
I hesitate to buy Motorola One Zoom, because official Motorola support told me by e-mail, that none of Motorola smartphones have HDMI-out compatibility. That seems odd, as it's not the only model that users confirmed to make it work. HDMI-out is the only requirement for a new smartphone for me.
Did you use standard USB-C>HDMI cable or some adapter / docking station that has female HDMI on the way?
Is there a list of smartphones with HDMI-out feature somewhere on XDA forums?
Sorry for double-post, but I wanted to update this thread with my experiences.
I finally bought Motorola Zoom and it works with HDMI-out. I used multi-port solution from Natec (has female HDMI and male USB-C).
I had some problems with disappearing screen on the monitor, that is connection was sometimes broken and then came back, again and again. After many tries of trial-and-error I found out that the source of my problem is LTE Internet. Everytime my phone started to use LTE, it disconnected active HDMI link. Switching Internet to 3G (or using airplane mode) solves the problem permanently.
I wanted to share it, if anyone happens to have the same issue in the future.

I think you need more than a cable. You are having to convert from digital to analog. I use this http://www.amazon.com/ViewHD-Compon...XVBC/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1317658374&sr=8-2 and have been able to connect my Acer Iconia W500 and my Archos 70 to my computer monitor through a KVM switch using this converter. There are some cheaper ones out there, but I know this one works (using it right now, in fact).
There are some unknowns in there: I don't know if the Flyer supports HDCP over HDMI. If that's the case, protected content probably won't play over the VGA adapter.
The bigger question is: does your projector have a DVI connector? If it does, you're best off using an HDMI-DVI cable.

Most of the projector in my meeting room never have DVI port It always have only vga(It be like this every meeting room in Thailand)
It sounds like it ought to work, but you really can't know until you try it. Assuming the adapters work individually, I don't see a reason this can't work. The only thing I'd be concerned about is trying to play copy-protected videos, but if you're just using it for PowerPoint type of stuff, I'm guessing this will work... but you really won't know until you try it.
I know that's not very helpful, but it sounds like not a lot of people are doing what you want to do.
If you do get that adapter, please let us know what happens. If nothing else, someone may be searching for an htc flyer vga adapter and stumble across this post. Letting the world know how this solution works will be a nice gift to the future.

I can't post outside link now you can found this cable by search
Hdmi male to vga female
I think it may take around 2 week for shipping. I will review it as soon as possible after I get it.
Are there any good news from your experimentation, Hellogop?
The Flyer outputs digital HDMI only (as most devices do) so you must use a adapter that converts from digital to analog VGA. For example looking on ebay...
This cable @ $8: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Mini-hdmi-m...264?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item35b609b180
will not work.
However this adapter @$28 : http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-HDMI-Ma...ultDomain_0&hash=item1e66dc4db9#ht_2223wt_952
Probably will, but I caveat this because I have not personally tried this adapter.
You could also use this single adapter @~ $35 to go from the micro USB on the Flyer to a VGA port, http://www.amazon.com/Menotek-Adapter-Galaxy-Tablet-Sensation/dp/B005K9XEP4
Note that some of these conversions to analog will only work at 480P resolution SD TV not at HD 720P.
Yeahhh Hope This picture can tell all ^ ^
So this 2 cable can work that the good news.
But actually the Singature is not 100% clear but i think it OK to use for your presentation.
When you connect the HTC cable your Flyer's speaker will not work so you need to use other speaker to connect with aux port on the HTC cable.
If you have any question please ask. Now I happy with the result http://media.xda-developers.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

So I bought myself a micro HDMI to HDMI cable, and was excited to use it with my Prime. But at first nothing showed up on my TV! I then tried moving the cable around in the micro HDMI port and the cable can move around pretty much when it's plugged in! Mainly up and down, and only if the cable is at a certain angle a signal is made.
Is the cable supposed to move up and down freely? If I plug my full sized HDMI into my laptop, it's not moving in any direction (except out of course )! I kind of expected the micro HDMI to do the same thing.
When the micro HDMI cable is placed at the right angle, my Prime notifies me that an HDMI cable has connected and the image goes through to the TV. If the cable is at the wrong angle both the notification and image goes away.
Is my Prime strange or is this normal?
I have exact same looking cable(hama) and its sits very tight in hdmi port
on my prime,no movement at all.
Try to use some other cables
depends on the brand cable you use. some are tighter fitting than others. I used the one that came with my atrix phone. not the tightest fix but works until I find another one.
I have the same adapter and I noticed some up/down wiggle as well. However, even though there is a little bit of wiggle, my HDMI connection always stays connected.
I actually just received the adapter in the mail this weekend and when I first plugged it in to my TV I didn't see any thing at all. So I was thinking, "is there something I need to enable on the Prime to tell it to send video to HDMI out?". After a little dinking around I discovered my TV was on the wrong HDMI input. After switching to the right one, all was good.
I am using Accel micro hdmi to hdmi bought from Frys. It is working fine without any issue. It fits perfectly.

yes but its like with memory cards n other things. some might be slightly longer or thicker than others, etc...there are variances within the standard.
So it could be me being paranoid, but I just returned my TFP because my HDMI out port wasn't working. I've heard of other people with TFPs having bad HDMI ports as well. Now it could be just a coincidence but I wonder if the HDMI port is not as sturdy as it should be. You might want to return your TFP if your still in the window. If not try the cable on another device or try a different cable.

I have never heard that the size of data/display ports can 'vary'. Even the smallest amount of size variance can make a cable (especially small ones like micro HDMI) not fit properly which is why there is a standard that is followed when manufacturing these things.
My guess is that the 'wiggle' that the OP is referring to (and the wiggle that I notice with my adapter) is most likely due to the female micro HDMI port on the tablet not being solidly attached to the main board. The female port may also be bent on the inside, causing a bad connection. I highly doubt that the 'wiggle' is occurring because of the male micro HDMI port being too small or something. I suppose one thing that would prove my theory wrong would be to buy a different adapter and try it, but my guess is you are going to have the same result.
My HDMI worked for a while until one day when video wasn't displaying on my TV with the HDMI chord in. So I unplugged it and my TFP froze. From then on, I haven't been able to get get my TFP to see the HDMI cable when it's plugged in. Basically I think the hdmi port might have died. Tried on several TV's and still no dice. I might eventually try another HDMI cable, we'll see. I'm not in a hurry.
Finally my laptop smartphone docking station is finished! A lot of planning and work stuck in it! I have used an old Acer 17,3 "laptop for it. I removed the mainboard and all electronics from it and installed a good full HD panel. The panel is connected with an HDMI to EDP converter board with the smartphone. I installed some voltage transformers, a 2x3 Watt audio amplifier for the laptop speakers, a charging board, a 5v fan and an USB Hub. The smartphone is connected via USB C (mhl) cable and for sound there is an audio cable. Unfortunately, I couldn't get to run the original keyboard and the touchpad. That's why I installed an ultra flat Bluetooth keyboard with TouchPad.
A battery is not installed yet. This is the next thing I want to do.
So... I don't need a real computer any more!

Do you have a plan to put the phone as a TouchPad, replacing the original TouchPad? Since it seems like razer's project Linda is awesome, and also eliminates the "bump" on the back..

Nice one man... it is very awesome.. i am sure you can still modify this and make more reliable by taking the mobile at front.. there are some other laptops like this from there you can get some design inspiration...
nice, got me thinking how about the motorola atrix dock? back in the days? that could boot linux and ****. will that dock work with the s8 (damn that moto atrix laptop dock thing was my child hood dream
So I build in a 4s 2650mah lipo battery in it. It seems to work fine. The DC DC converters that I build in , can handle the 4s (14,8V) battery very well! Even phone charging is working?? I will upload a small video in the next few weeks.

I have an Atrix lapdock, it will load dex, but the screen resolution wont handle the output from the phone, it overloads it. At least thats what mine is doing. So instead I use it for my Raspberry pi for now.
How to "Gaming Dock" AKA:"Lapdock" (like motorola)
is 1 LCD inverter + USB(or ps2 to usb) pins into IO.
-> Screen = li-ion power cell to DC lcd inverter.
use any laptop shell. lcd will be DVI over HDMI
Exactly What I was looking for
I have been looking for something like this for business trips. I used DEX at home for my S8 Note, but laptop for travel would be perfect. I have an older Toshiba laptop I was going to donate, but this will be my new project. Appreciate you sharing your project.
Has anyone tried the desktop mode on the V60, or at least confirm that it has one? I've seen demonstrations on the V50 when it got the Android 10 update and that would do me.

Thanks so much for that, I've asked in a few places and this is the first answer I've had. I guessed a desktop mode would have there but you never know.

It's the same as the V50 & G8X, so a proper desktop mode but not as advanced as DeX. I have a NexDock 2 and use it with Samsung DeX and Huawei Easy Projection all the time. Looking at videos of LGs desktop mode it will do a reasonable job, which is all I need. Once Linux on DeX went away and Samsung dropped the 3.5mm headphone port I realised that I needed something different for my next device.
Can someone give a short how to?
I used a USB-c hub that has HDMI. I connected the hub to the USB-c port, and the monitor the the HDMI. It does not work with the magnetic port, it seems. (Though the magnetic port does support connecting to a computer with USB). You get a desktop, and can use the phone itself as a trackpad. If the hub has power in, you can keep the phone powered.
It is really too bad about the magnetic port, since I like to keep the phone in the dual case, and am afraid that too much in and out of the case will damage the UCR port of the phone...

So I have the same concern and never take mine out of the dual screen case. Could it be the cable used doesn't have all the pins needed internally and this may work? I can't see how it would work to a computer and not a TV.

never mind. USB-C is 22 active pins. That explains why the 12 pin magnetic connector doesn't work for HDMI.
Hello, can someone try a USB-C to HDMI adapter with Motorola Razr 2019 please ?
It should work because official specs on motorola.com/us/smartphones-razr/p shows it has a USB 3.0 version but still no proof if it works with USB-C to HDMI so can someone confirm it's working ? It would also be cool if it works so Motorola Razr 2019 could get an update with Motorola " Ready For " desktop mode
Thank you
Well, I just tried with both Razr 2019 and Razr 5G, to no avail... Sorry, not working! I have tried with a cheap plain USB-c to HDMI adapter (bought on Aliexpress) that works fine with LG Wing/Velvet and with BB Key2.
Also tried with different USB-c Hubs that I have, doesn't work, or at least not out of the box like it did with the above mentionned phones. If you know of an app that I could use to try it out, let me know. Usually the apps that pretend to do it only win money with the adds they contain...
Thank you @Vuche it's very helpful !
USB-C to HDMI support on smartphones requires 3 things :
1)A SOC that supports DisplayPort over USB-C, for example Qualcomm mentions it on their Snapdragon SOCs specs, not all smartphones support it like low-end Snapdragon 4xx or 2xx series but here Snapdragon 710 specs mention DisplayPort over USB-C support https://www.qualcomm.com/media/documents/files/snapdragon-710-product-brief.pdf
2)The smartphone must also have a USB-C with USB 3 version, USB-C to HDMI doesn't work on smartphones with USB 2 version, which can be ok on low-end smartphones but sometimes happens on "high-end flagship" smartphones like 1300$ xiaomi mi 11 ultra withUSB 2
3)HDMI out must be enabled by software in Android by the smartphone brand. It already happened that a smartphone had a SOC with HDMI support and USB 3 but HDMI disabled by software like on older Sony Xperia XZ1 or LG G7 and then enabled it with software update but still happening on pixel phones on which google doesn't want to enable HDMI out.
Another proof that USB-C to HDMI can work on Snapdragon 710 smartphone is that HTC U19e with Snapdragon 710 works with USB-C to HDMI adapters (USB-C 3.1 with DisplayPort mentioned on official specs here https://www.htc.com/hk-en/smartphones/htc-u19e-spec )
So back to Motorola Razr, the question is : does it really have a USB 3 port or is it only a USB 2 version ? If it's USB 2 then HDMI can't be enabled, but if it's USB 3 then it has been disabled by software by Motorola and could be enabled with software update (Android 11 update ?)
Do you have a USB 3 cable and a computer with USB 3 to transfer a big file like a recorded 4K video to check transfer speed of Motorola Razr please ? USB 2 transfer speed is around 30-40MB/s and USB 3 is at least 100MB/s. But most USB-C cables included in smartphones boxes are only USB 2, I think only HTC and LG include USB 3 cable in the box.
Again, thank you for your reply Vuche !
Thanks for all this updated information. Since my post above, I ordered 3in1 micro-usb/Lightning/USB c to HDMI adapter cable from Ali for a friend's iPhone that requires an app to work. I haven't tried with the RAZR yet but it works on my Realme 7 and on the surface duo, so I don't see a reason it shouldn't work on the RAZR. I don't have the 4G model anymore, but I will test it soon on the 5G model and will report it here.
I've read on the specs of many of those adapter cables that it would work with YouTube and personal files but wouldn't work with protected content like Netflix and so on, at least on iPhones. I will test this for andoid too.
So, I tried my adapter and it works with the downloadable app. As I mentioned, protected content (HDCP) doesn't work on the second screen. For example, Netflix app works, but when you want to play something the image stays on the phone only, black on the second screen. Why do they keep doing this? I'm paying for Netflix! YouTube working fine.
Well, all this to say that it's doable on the RAZR 5G for standard content.
This is the adapter I bought, but there are many others on AliExpress:

Connection App is here:
Drongscreen
You find the link with the QR code appearing on the screen when you connect the HDMI side to your TV/monitor.
I had to restart my phone and reconnect the cable after installing the app and you have to accept drongscreen app to start recording you screen (China spying..?), but beside this it's working fine. I have to find out if there's a way to have the sound through HDMI as it was coming out of my phone when I tried it. Drongscreen app sound level is appearing when I hit the volume buttons, but no sound through my HDMI.
Edit: but sound is incredible on the RAZR 5G mono speaker, loud and crisp!
Edit2: the RAZR will also be recharged through the cable, as you have to plug this cable in a USB power supplied plug.

It is very amusing how people manage to shoot any training videos, and not take into account certain problems that a person who studies from the video they offer may face.I think that from the very beginning you need to take into account certain points so that you immediately have 50k likes and your video was in the top, and helped more people)
