I actually quit using it when I figured out I could do everything I needed online (bookmark) without the app.

It wan't a 'root' issue with me, per se.

Was removing apps to cut down on background batt drain, free up some storage space, etc.

Oh ok. I see. You should use Greenify with the Magisk add-on. Works amazingly well!

That app contains ads? You could use LMT launcher (it's not actually a full launcher, but a pie control app that VenomROMs has been using for quite a while).

You can find the thread here.

It gets updated fairly regularly and probably has more features than the PlayStore one (<-------I haven't tried that one yet)
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] sn0warmy:
There are no ads with Pie Control. I'm not even sure how they would do that. It's just a simple pie control app.

I'm not trying to push that app in particular (though, it's definitely coming off that way). But for clarity's sake, there are no ads. Nonetheless, I'm sure there are plenty of solid options for pie controls.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] xunholyx:
Okay.

I just went off of what is listed on G Play from your link. I haven't tried it myself. But the app does mention ads

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] wtherrell:
Pie Control is great. No ads. Handiest thing since sliced bread. Have always used it since Nexus6 / 7 days.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] sn0warmy:
I just realized that they mean there are ads within the app itself. Which is true and I forgot about that. So essentially, while you are doing the initial setup of Pie Control functionality you'll see ads within the app. But once you get it set up you likely won't ever open the app again. So it's a non-issue, really.

It's a pain in the a** to check if a new device has it nowdays.

Thank you!! :good:
[Nokia 8 Questions & Answers] nzmike001:
Well, we don't all have Macbook Pro docks so does it work without that?

I bought a USB-C to HDMI cable today but I can't get it to work – are there any settings (or apps?) that I'd need to change/install to get this to work?

I just want to be able to plug my phone into a TV and play videos when I'm in hotels or away from home etc.

I'm new to both Android and the Nokia 8 so maybe I'm just missing something that's obvious?

(The most annoying thing is that it works perfectly on my old Nokia Lumia 950XL Windows Phone.)
[Nokia 8 Questions & Answers] tal_sarid:
Still didn't get the phone yet...

From what I know the native support works with USB-C portable adapters with a HDMI port. Don't know about the cable ones.

I have this, https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01EZTRI42/, and it's working well with the native support of the HTC U11, still don't know about Nokia 8 though :rolleyes:
[Nokia 8 Questions & Answers] tal_sarid:
I've contacted Nokia customer care and that's their official answer regarding this matter:

"Thank you for contacting Nokia Mobile Care!

We would like to inform you that the Nokia 8 does not support video out through the USB type C neither the HDMI. If you want to connect the phone to the TV please try to buy the chromecast to cast the device to the TV.

We hope that the above information is useful for you! If not, or if you have another question, please feel free to contact us again.

Best regards,

Are you sure that the Nokia 8 can cast its screen though a macbook pro dock to an external display through HDMI [MENTION=2605312]Luhccas-X10[/MENTION] ?

I got my Nokia 8 today and tried a USB-C to HDMI cable I used on my old HTC U11 and unfortunately it does not work.

I'm very much doubting that the Nokia 8 has this ability.
[Nokia 8 Questions & Answers] jamhtcman:
Well today I tried a macbook dock and no joy, seems pretty conclusive that it doesnt work
[Nokia 8 Questions & Answers] jamhtcman:
I'm pleased to confirm that Displaylink works with Nokia 8! I used this one: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01B5RN9ZY/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

In theory any Displaylink hub or cable should work, note that you need to connect to the phone via a USB host cable e.g. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01GKS2HCE/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

This should work on most devices with a USB port, for me it works on my Kindle HD and Laptop too should its a useful thing to have anyway.

I got the info from a thread for the OnePlus 5T so more info in there:

https://xdaforums.com/oneplus-5/themes/wired-tv-one-plus-5-makes-displaylink-t3667974
[Nokia 8 Questions & Answers] tal_sarid:
Well, very odd! :rolleyes:

I tried a Displaylink-based hub myself with a Nokia 8 and it didn't work for me just like the regular adapters (which all of them, including the Displaylink one, worked with my HTC U11).

So, please elaborate about what you did. Is it a plug & play process? Did you do anything special to make it work for you?

By the way, I tried it with this Dell hub (which is Displaylink based on http://www.displaylink.com/products/find?vid_hdmi=1):

http://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/acce...note_bnrank=0&baynote_irrank=1&~ck=dellSearch
[Nokia 8 Questions & Answers] jamhtcman:
So firstly you need to have the displaylink app installed on your phone, apart from that you should just have to plug it in - the app will then prompt you to start showing your screen which you say OK to and that's it.

However... I found that the vast majority of the time it just simply doesn't work. Every time the device has a notification to say a device it connected and drawing power but very rarely will the displaylink actually work. I literally had to connect and disconnect the device around 100 times on some attempts before it works, sometimes fewer but the weird thing is once its connected and working, I can remove it and plug it back in and it will work straight away.

Its a really strange issue which I don't understand, it cant be the cable as it works consistently but only after getting it to work that first time. I'm thinking there may be a bug with the 8.1 firmware as another forum mentioned the maximum charge amp is reduced in 8.1. Another forum mentioned that on the Xperia XZ Premium display link only works with external power to the displaylink hub so perhaps its drawing to draw too much power and its just a fluke that it occasionally will work. Unfortunately I tried to connect external power to my hub and blew it so I can't test any further :(

I've tried the same setup on a Galaxy S7 Edge and that worked every time, no issue so it must be something strange with the device OR the adaptor used to convert the displaylink hub from USB to USB C.

LUHCCAS-X10

You fraud. I bought my Nokia 8 on the basis of your post. Because you decided to post this BS, and then made a prompt exit from this thread.

Now I am stuck with it. With this phone and with no ability to hook it up to my projector without unacceptable levels of latency through Chromecast or some such.

I even wasted money on this USB-C to HDMI cable (Thunderbolt 3 compatible), that doesn't work.

My only hope now is this DisplayLink setup. Any more news on it?
[Nokia 8 Questions & Answers] jamhtcman:
I messaged LUHCCAS and they said this is what they used: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/USB...a741666&transAbTest=ae803_4&priceBeautifyAB=0

Although they didn't specify which. None of them say they use displayport but I guess its possible, if so then perhaps they are not a fraud.

I have ordered a new displaylink hub so I will let you know if that works more consistently than the other one I tried.

Displaylink adapter support

I'm happy to confirm that I managed to get the Nokia 8 connected to a TV using a DisplayLink adapter. :victory:

It's working pretty good (both image and sound) as long as the DisplayLink presenter app is installed.

From the first couple of minutes with it I didn't experience any issues that [MENTION=8990671]jamhtcman[/MENTION] mentioned and it's working very well at any time that I plug in the adapter to the phone (without an external power source).

Link to the adapter that I'm using:

- Link is broken -

Side note: You'll need to buy a separated USB 3.0 to USB-C OTG cable because the adapter in the box is too thick for most of the cases :eek:

---------- Post added at 21:43 ---------- Previous post was at 21:39 ----------

Oh, and by the way, the hub that I've tested on my quoted post from before wasn't a DisplayLink hub after all. Hence, it didn't work.
[Nokia 8 Questions & Answers] flamming_python:
Awesome news, awesome :good:

BTW does it charge your phone while your phone is plugged in?

Also this is probably a bit of a specific question to pose; but by any chance have you checked whether the phone outputs just 2-channels of sound (stereo) through the displaylink adapter, or does it output however many are in the source material (e.g. 5.1 channels if you play a video file with a 5.1. surround sound audio track).
[Nokia 8 Questions & Answers] tal_sarid:
No option to charge the phone while casting I'm afraid.

Moreover, I can't tell about the sound cause I don't have any TV and AVR that supports 5.1 channels sound though an hdmi port.
[Nokia 8 Questions & Answers] tal_sarid:
For some reason the previous link points to another product now :eek:

Anyway, I've found the same adapter that I'm using on Amazon UK instead:

This time I'm attaching its picture just in case it will happen again...
[Nokia 8 Questions & Answers] Schwimmbuxx:
Thank you for your experience I bought the exactly same hardware you recommend and it works with my Nokia 8 128GB Version. But as you described, external 5V are necessary to get it to work for the first time. After the Nokia recognized it, you could disconnect the external power and it still works. Unfortunately the Nokia did not charge during the proccess which is bad for using it as car pc with appradio unchained.

[Nokia 8 Questions & Answers] Edmandsr:
Hi everyone,

I'm trying to connect my Nokia 8 to my TV and have got it working, but quality is poor.

I'm using a C2G USB to HDMI adapter, part number 30547, to display my phone screen on the TV. I'm not sure what displaylink chipset this adapter uses, but it says on the spec sheet that it is USB 2.0 so it will be one of the older ones. I'm trying to stream Kayo (Foxtel over the internet basically) at 1080p and display on the TV and it streams fine and displays fine on the phone but the display on the TV lags and is pixelly. Is displaylink capable of doing what I want it to do, or is quality and laginess always going to be an issue? Do I need a better displaylink chipset? Has anyone else successfully streamed 1080p without lag?
[Nokia 8 Questions & Answers] ajgftw:
Is it really crucial that you use a wired connection to play content on your TV? Just because from my own experience with many devices over the years, Chromecast really is the simplest solution. Especially if your just looking to get 1080p.
[Nokia 8 Questions & Answers] Edmandsr:
I'm hoping to get rid of my internet because it is going to be cheaper to use my phone plan instead. I've tried using my Chromecast without an internet connection but haven't had much luck yet, so I'm not sure if that is a possibility. Wifi hotspot and using a laptop with HDMI to stream to the TV doesn't seem to go fast enough so isn't really an option either. For now the Chromecast is working fine, I just want an option that allows me to drop the internet

Hello folks. I have a Galaxy S5. Couldn't be more happier (!) with this phone. First it had overheating issues since I had updated the phone and now its screen does not open UNLESS I heat the screen with pressure or hair dryer. I had checked this out and it is turned out common problem with AMOLED screens.

What I need is to stay this damn phone awake AND locked or frozen. Why because I go outside and if the screen goes dark I need to heat it up by myself and it takes LONG to heat the screen with my hand. I need to stop this phone goes dark and while stay awake I need it to be locked because I may accidently press something when it opens.

I hope I make myself clear. English is not my native language. Thanks in advance.

No help from XDA but at least I was able to find a workaround so I leave it here

I have found two apps called Stay Alive! and Touch Lock that suit exactly what I need. It is possible to download them at Play Store. One is responsible for preventing the phone goes dark and the other one is lock/freeze touch screen and buttons to prevent accidental touch while the phone is in my pocket. Cheers
