Review:
Check his channel , lots of information about the surface duo
( thanks Shane !!!! )
Mine is on the way ( the magnetic one ) , haven't try it myself
Just sharing with you guys
ps: Does someone here has it ?

Hi,
Interesting, but what's the point ? It is just a Surface Duo stand that allows charging.
All the rest goes through the USB-C Hub that you can attach directly to the Surface Duo. If the stand would include a HDMI and 1 USB-C and 1 Ethernet port, it would be interesting.
As is, I really don't understand it otherwise as a simple Stand. And I do not think it looks great at all.
Regards.

I agree with you about the simple stand ( no magnetic ) , I would not buy that !
The point for me , is the magnetic option they offer .
I needed a stand to keep the Duo fully open and charging , but had the "trouble" when I wanted to use it out of a stand and still be plugged into a cable , its very uncomfortable to use it like that .
Now my problem is gone ! I also have the option to attach my type c hub ( if I need to ) into the stand and not directly into the SDuo ( this is really helpful for me , so I don't mess to much with the phone port )
I understand this is not for everyone , depends on how you use the device , just wanted to share the info
Cheers

There is special short usb cable to work with tg01 . One side has micro usb plug to connect to tg01, second side has regular usb slot ( usb A ) like in any computer. When You plug mouse to this slot You will have mouse in tg01.

The original TG01 Host cable is fitted witha uUSB A type plug (rectangular section with a white plastic horizontal plastic part). This type is wired internally with a short between pins 4 and 5 which is what triggers the device to go into Host mode.
There are also equivalent 3rd party cables available, but must conform to the uUSB spec or will simply be acting as a port extender with a USB A type line socket on the end in place of the uUSB female socket on the device.

I've not seen the original Toshiba Host cables anywhere, but here is a current eBay link which is illustrating and describing the right thing. There is also a Nokia cable on Amazon which appears to be the right type - check the Nokia N8 C6-01 to make sure that it tallies.
The female socket takes a normal USB A plug; the other end has the rectangular format uUSB A plug which should have pins 4 + 5 linked internally.
The On The Go (OTG) protocol also allows for connecting two such devices together. So if you wanted to connect a pair of TG01s, you can use a uUSB A to uUSB B lead; the device with the A plug is designated the Host while the other becomes the slave. Reverse the cable and the roles change with it.

New usb host found on ebay..well sort of..

Hi,
http://www.ebay.it/itm/260869766222?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649#ht_1866wt_1187
seems pretty new. Doesn't seem so neat
What do you think ?
I'm in Italy...it's from china (about 25 days to receive it)...so..let's wait some one else to test it
Tablet PC universal dock
Note: this item couldnot use as a charger dock.
I would like something like this with an EEEPad conector. What use are the USB connectors on the dock? If it has not a connector for the EEEPad, I think it's only a stand with speakers.
It won't charge your tablet. It won't give you USB ports.
Thanks for the link anyway. Let's hope someone comes out with accessories for the TF (besides Asus, that is ).

What pinouts in 10-pin connector?(Ideos s7 slim)

Hi!
I need your help!
I want to make a docking station in the car,
to connect the tablet(Huawei IDEOS S7 Slim) as a navigator in the car and the power(and usb-host, and others) was a 10pin connector
You know the pinout in 10-pin connector?

Thanks!
P.S.Sorry for the english, I'm from Russia.
Same idea...

I have same idea. So far I find out that S7 slim is not USB OTG capable (means it could be slave but not master in USB connections). Maybe there is the way to use some software to make S7 to act as a host since it have power on USB connector to supply usb flash.
Regarding 10 pin connector I couldn't find any info accept info on docking devices... According to that information: 10 pin connector is used for keyboard etc. Maybe it have digital audio and video out but you need to make some DA converter etc. cause I tested every pin with others and find out that there is no analog signals outputs (for audio).
I think that those information helped (to gett you on the right track) but I also like to hear
some opinion on the subject from experience members...
You have some other thread for docking (it's what 10 pin connector is) so you can read those.

Magnetic usb cable

Hey guys!
I was thinking about geting a magnetic cable for my OP5, they seem greate for beeyng very practical to use and in theory helping to expand the device's usb port life.
So with that in mind, does anyone have any ideia if...
1- Is there a 4A magnetic usb C cable compatible with dash/vooc?
and
2 - is there any chance that using a magnetic cable would cause damage to the phone?
Nope no dash charge just slow/about 1A. Don't think slow charging would kill your phone. I use em all the time and have had no problems this far.
Same here, I have a micro-usb magnetic connector for my smartach and another magnetic type-c for a tablet and both can't deliver more than 1A , but they are indeed very handy !
Hey guys just found a 4.3A cable, the problem is that its made for notebooks which means the connector is L shaped.
here is where to buy: https://www.banggood.com/Baseus-Magnetic-90-Degree-4_3A-Type-C-to-Type-C-Fast-Charge-Data-Cable-1_5M-for-S8-Xiaomi-6-Macbook-p-1179421.html

Hmm i says that it can support S8 too.
Only problem i see is that the USB C charge part needs to stay in the phone, and the other part is magnetic.
Not really convenient i think..

It won't work with Dash Charge anyway.. You need their cable with their charger otherwise it won't work,I haven't seen any 3rd party accessories that supports Dash Charge

That's kind of the whole idea that makes it convenient, not having to plug the cable. But yeah you do have to always use a case to cover it.

Ok the Charger i get but the cable, are you sure?
Is there something else about the OP stock cable besisdes the amount of juice that it can put thru? (considering that that ports a usb-c on one end and usb on the other)
I always thought that there wasn't any other cable compatible because before apple put a usb-c charging/data port on macbook there was no market for a 4A cable apart from Oppo and Oneplus.

Yes I'm sure,there is a ton of sites that explains Dash Charge. I Think they put some microchip inside so OP phones can check the compatibility and allow the 4A charge
Edit: There is some article that states that you need their cable
Does anyone know where I can buy something like this, except for usb c?
http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/112306...D711-117182-37290-0%26rvr_id%3D1289648401373&
I do NOT want the entire cable. I just want an adapter so I can use my existing cables.
Never mind, just saw the kick starter. But I only need charging.

Quoting the part of the article that talks about the cable "they won’t be compatible with the high current that’s supplied to the device".
So if the current is the only reason... than i believe it could be compatible sense it hits the 4A spot.
Compatible or not the seller/manufaturer will only ship the cable once it hits 200 pcs sold mark, which is pretty far from the current 42 pre-orders. That's too bad i was actualy willing to buy and test it if it wasn't for this.
Any news regarding this?

Poco F1 MHL / HDMI ?

Hi !
Before buying the pocophone F1.
I need to know if we can connect the phone to hdmi tv.
MHL ? dp alt mode (display port alt for android)?
Is there any way to display the pocophone on tv ?
I want to use this feature to play emulator on big screen, and on the go.
If someone can try this for me... Thanks !

There is a "wireless display" option which will allow you to mirror your phone screen on your wireless TV. The image quality is not the best but it does the job.

That function works really nicely with my Chromecast.
I gather (though I've not tried it) that usb-c allows cabled screen mirroring too, if that's your thing.
Hey ! thanks for your answers. i don't want a wireless solution (already have a chromecast) but too much lag for gaming...
I need someone to confirm (and tried it) that i can connect a USB to HDMI cable in order to mirror screen the phone on tv.
Thanks
@F4T4LITY
As above, I've not tried it, but here's an interesting link to some info on usb-c and Alternate mode. It kind of suggests that any phone with usb-c, given the right cable can do the trick.
This would do it, I reckon

Thanks for the link buddy ! I check that !
EDIT : it's not for all phones, the usb c port of the phone need to be compatible with alt mode (display port alternative mode), then just a cable usb c to hdmi will work.
But with all my research i can even know if the poco f1 hac a usb c port supporting the dp alt mode...
I saw an interesting way, with display link adapter. It s usb external graphics cards, mirroring your phone on tv. But the problem is, with android phones and this technology, you can't mirror on tv AND charge your phone at the same time... :/
If someone has tried something else to connect the poco f1 to a tv.
Let me know, even if it s a fail !
Thanks guys !
EDIT 2 :
For information : I bought my poco F1, i ll get it tomorrow with the hdmi adapter.
I will post you the answer to the question : is the pocophone capable of mhl, dp alt-mode or hdmi out.
i will give you also tomorrow the links to the cables i bought for the test.
If the adapter doesn't work, i will buy a Display link technology adapter, then i will say you if we can charge at the same time as mirroring to the tv.
See ya !

I ll keep you informed if i can mirror hdmi AND charge at the same time with the "display link" device.
See ya !
Missed it by that much....
I tested mine out on USB-C to HDMI this morning too but F4T4LITY beat me to it....
Confirming it didn't work...
Bummer! Wonder if some bright spark might work out a kernel hack or some other workaround to get this working? I just found a thread on Mi forums asking about it so plainly others are interested...
Might be worth submitting a feature request for a future update. Do other Xiaomi phones have this?

unfortunately, it s a hardware issue... in the poco F1 usb c. none update can change that.
But For info : I don t need to buy a display link hardware. I bought a Chromecast ULTRA (with the ethernet port) and it work flawlessly even in gaming.
My poco F1 >> Wifi 5Ghz >> Chromecast ultra (ethernet)
I can mirror my phone and charge at the same time ! no more problem here for my use !
It s a shame to don't have mhl or hdmi on phones today... it must be standard... but i got the chomecrast backup solution so... it s ok.

Sry guys nothing works with cables for now...
Got the ultra chromecast solution and sincerly it does the job. I can play ppsspp, or gamecube, psx,...... Full speed even on tv (wireless) or on the pocoF1.
Found out Poco doesn't support TV out after I bought it. My USB C-HDMI dongle was working flawlessly with LG V20 but not with Poco F1. My Tv doesn't have WIfi inbuilt so can't mirror wirelessly either. Bummer! Now only two options are there either buy Miracast/Chromecast dongle(wireless) or Displayport dongle(wired). Removing important useful functions doesn't really make cheap phone appealing.
Edit: Also, I found these dongles for cheap online. If any one has one can he/she check? https://www.aliexpress.com/item/NEW...splay-Graphic-Adapter-for-PC/32824881352.html
Got some USB-C earphones, it was a whim, they also aren't supported by the USB-c port....
This looks to be another cut corner to reduce the price , though is it hardware or software?
There may be a chance if it is only software....
