Doesn't seem to be to do with part numbers. I've had 3 x part # Y7D37PA

First had different firmware and worked, but battery was useless. Next 2 don't work with s8.. but work with lg v20 and lumia 950

Edit: might be to do with custom rom/ kernel I'm using. Considering trying a different version, though I've spent so long getting this one setup how I like it!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] wozz9192:
What is the current rom/kernel combination you're using? I saw you were using renovate 10.1 (I had no luck with that version, was using nx r8 kernel)

Just upgraded to renovate 11.1 which has CRD7 base, still no change. Cant even mirror display most of the time, when it works, resolution is extremely low/blocky. I'll try another kernel
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] Xamadeu:
tried 10.1 and 9.3

---------- Post added at 05:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:33 PM ----------

Today i have been in a phone shop with the lap dock. Tried several phones.

Wireless: all phones find it, but none connects besides sony xz 2 compact. But that also has doubled keys.

Wired: no phone at all connect. All try to sync, but all fail and repeat.

Sony, Google Pixel 2 XL Huawai Mate, P20 Pro, Note8.

Worked before with lumia xl and hp elite x3.

So always the same. Seems as if the lap dock is specifically build only for hp/windows continuum.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] StardustGeass:
Here's my lapdock with Samsung dex S8.

I took photos about it both on wired or wireless (mirroring) to prove that it actually works..

Again, it's with renovate 10.1 ROM (haven't upgraded it to 11 since hassles). I forgot whether using noxx or nx kernel.

I even tried with my friend's mid low phone (a xiaomi one if I recalled correctly) to mirror and it works. Well, it still have the problem of dual typing, so still can't use the keyboard on this mode as well.

Putting a Sony, or even Google pixel device won't work at all because they don't have the "desktop mode" function. I don't understand why a Huawei mate 10 and P20 pro don't work on your test though.

And again, lapdock is made with windows continuum in mind, so we can't really blame them.

I really don't know what's wrong with your lapdock..

Edit:

Sorry for the upside down photo, I didn't realize it beforehand
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] Xamadeu:
thx, but i believed you already before! :)

dex or desktop mode is not important at first! Even without dex or desktop it should mirror at least by displayport afaik
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] wozz9192:
Got to be some sort of firmware issue on my lapdock (I currently have 2 lapdocks, both brand new)

Still haven't got a hold of anyone with an Elite X3 to at least test a newer firmware

Someone at work is chasing up a HP rep that he knows, though they haven't answered so far.

Wish there was a way to update firmware on a Lumia XL950! If the Mirabook ever ships i'll probably just get one of those.

I think I might have to chuck these lapdocks on ebay soon unfortunately :(
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] Xamadeu:
Tried to update with lumia xl, didn't work.

Update worked with used x3.

But it didn't help.

Mirabook: which kind of keyboard will it have? English, of course. Also german?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] RivetRelion:
How is it working with v20? I have an LG V20 and I am thinking about buying an HP lapdock. Are they compatible? Everything working? Screen, usb, audio, keyboard, trackpad?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] StardustGeass:
Sadly, I don't think so, since LG's V20 doesn't have desktop mode.

I am not sure whether LG phones are cable-output friendly as well.

The wireless mirroring mode will work, as it works to mostly Android device with screen mirroring mode. Though I am not sure whether you can use the keyboard/mouse as well or not.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] RivetRelion:
Lg v20 have displayport I'm only concerned about the ports audio and keyboard/mouse
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] StardustGeass:
Ah, I see....

I'm sorry that I am unable to assist you, since I've never had a LG phone..

I'm gonna met my friend with a LG G5 SE (I think it has display port as well) in several day.. Remind me to share the experience next week :)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] wozz9192:
Yeah works good, not perfect. I used sentio from the google play store for desktop mode which is pretty damn good. Videos were laggy unfortunately through YouTube and netflix, can't remember about normal videos. Sound was a little choppy for videos as well, but besides that was ok. Keyboard was flawless, mouse worked except buttons didn't do anything, so have to tap on the trackpad for clicks. Occasionally when connecting the screen wouldnt sync properly, so just had to reconnect. This even happens with an x3 phone though.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] chillekasper:
Hallo I'm new here. I got an hp lapdock and aan Samsung note 8. How to install Dex so you can use my lapdock by connecting it with my Samsung phone?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] StardustGeass:
Hello! Welcome abroad the lap-dex wagon (if it even exists sadly)..

First, you need to root your phone.

Hope it's not a dealbreaker for you since you won't be able to use any knox-based apps anymore.

Second, look for a kernel in Note 8 ROM that have a universal dex hack.

Some of custom ROM already incorporated it in their kernel, so you need to look for it and ask.

Personally, I use S8 so can't help much about this..

There are some "problems" in current HP lapdock version though.

Some people report that even installing those kernel hacks, it doesn't work with their lap dock (I presume it is a hardware problem, so I can't say much since mine works).

Also, on the Oreo version, at least on mine, the speaker on lapdock simply doesn't work. If I connect it via wireless mirroring, as well as using a nougat version of S8, it is working flawlessly, so I assume that is a software/driver problem somewhere on the oreo system.

For reference, I'm using Alexa S9 Ported ROM (v. 4.4).

Before, I'm using renovate ROM with Nox kernel, and it have same dex experience (and problems).
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] chillekasper:
Thanks for your fast reply! Is there a guide how to install an other kernel? What are Knox-apps?

I heard that the notorious is very good and included support for DeX. Is that true?

Thx! ??
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] wozz9192:
Have confirmed not a hardware problem when it doesnt work, looks like possibly some sort of firmware issue. I have used 3 lapdocks, first worked with latest fw. Next 2 havent worked. I bought a hp elite x3 phone to update firmware and confirmed it works perfect with lapdock, though s8 doesnt sync (black screen or really poor resolution).

Unfortunately stupid HP Device Hub no longer updates x3 lap dock firmware- it is attempting to connect to a HP site with an expired certificate and fails.

My lapdock is currently stuck on T0053 firmware, i believe latest is T0059. There was an intermediate version T0057 though I'm not sure which firmware might makr a difference. All firmware versions work fine for sync to an Elite x3 or lumia 950, but continuum is crap compared to dex.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] StardustGeass:
For installing another kernel, you need to root your phone and install custom recovery (TWRP).. It is better for you to look for that thread in your Note 8 sub :)

Knox apps are Samsung apps that needs reliance on Knox system to work, such as Samsung pay and secure folder.. They won't work anymore once you root and install TWRP, and there is no chance for you to revert the change back..

About notorious, I think so!

I once tried his kernel and getting a universal dex experience as well. You can try it!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] StupidNoob#317:
As a Galaxy S9 user and after having ordered the HP Elite lapdock, I'm kind of worried. I read that people are having trouble with the resolution output to it.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] StardustGeass:
In my experience, sometimes you need to reattach the lapdock for it to output the desired resolution...
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] StupidNoob#317:
I hope that's all I need to do to fix it. Since I only plan on using Sentio Desktop, not Dex, do I still need to root for any reason?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] StardustGeass:
Oh, if you're using only Sentio Desktop, you don't need any root :D

I don't know about the output problems though whether it will still exist or not..
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] StupidNoob#317:
My HP lapdock arrived Thursday night and I brought it into work with me on Friday. At first it wasn't working at all except for the keyboard. I later learned that I didn't have a Thunderbolt 3 cable, so I went out and bought one from one of the Best Buys that still had them in stock. Now that I have it working (and am using it to type this up!) Here are my thoughts so far. Keep in mind, I am not rooted and I am using Sentio Desktop.

- Same problem as OP regarding the touchpad. I can use it to move the mouse cursor around, but I can't left click; only right click. Bought a Blackweb bluetooth mouse from Wal-mart for $16.xx. Not a big deal as I don't like using touchpads anyway, but in a setting such as being on commute where you can't comfortably use a mouse, it's something to keep in mind.

- Since I am using a Galaxy S9 with an 18:9 aspect, the top and bottom of the screen is cut off. Not a huge deal but again, something to note when using phones of this aspect ratio. If you plan on playing around with emulators or watching 4:3 movies, remember that it won't expand as much as it would if you were using a 16:9 phone.

- The android navigation buttons are not present as I read that they are when using the Razer phone (which I'll be switching to today), although I read that through adb commands and using Custom Navigation Bar from the Google Play Store, the navigation bar can be hidden.

- audio through the lapdock itself works, though I feel that they're not as good as the speakers on the S9.

- the phone charges slowly. As long as I'm doing something light like internet browsing, it's fine. If I load up the Dolphin emulator and throw on some Melee, the phone will use more power than it's getting and the battery will start to drain.

- If you're using this thing for emulators, good luck. Retroarch doesn't seem to recognize mouse input and Snes9x straight up blackscreens on the lapdock but shows up on the phone still. Dolphin works great though and plays nice with windowed mode. SuperRetro16 seems to work very nicely as well, so you'll have to do some experimenting with different emulators to find out which ones play nice with the lapdock.

Overall, this thing is pretty fun. I wish I could find browsers that had actual tabs on them just like on desktop browsers, but not a huge deal.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] StupidNoob#317:
I have the Razer phone now, but I can't get video out to the HP lapdock. The keyboard and sound work, but no video. I am using the same thunderbolt 3 cable that I used with the Galaxy S9 to connect it to the lapdock. I have read of other users that we're able to get video out to the HP lapdock from the Razer phone so I know it is possible.

Any suggestions?? I love this phone and I really wanna get this lapdock to work with it!!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] StardustGeass:
Ouch, I''m sorry, I never encountered such problem. Is there any "mirroring" settings that shows up when your Razer phone is connected?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] StupidNoob#317:
The only thing that pops up on the notification bar is for keyboard settings.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] StupidNoob#317:
I even tried rolling back to Android 7.1.1 and I still can't get the screen or track pad to work with the HP lapdock. I don't understand. I tried using the cable it came with, I tried using a thunderbolt 3...other people have gotten the Razer phone to work with this lapdock...DarkestSpawn here on the forums did but he won't reply back to my messages.

Ugh >_<
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] david04:
If it makes you feel any better, I was never able to get it to work on my Razer phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] wozz9192:
I've now just finished tested my fourth lapdock.

It looks like all these issues aren't to do with firmware versions, but the part numbers of the lapdocks... must have different chips inside, even though they all work with the hp elite x3, only some work with other phones.. probably doesn't fully comply with displayport over usb c specs, bit works well enough for elite x3.

I didn't take note of the first lapdock part no. i had, because i didn't know it was going to be such an issue.

I can confirm that this part no. does NOT work with samsung galaxy s8/s9 and huwaei phones, bit seems to work with lg v20: Y7D37PA:ABG

Only could get keyboard working with most phones.

(Sometimes screen would sync but only at very low res)

this model works with s8 besides touchpad not working. haven't tested with other phones: V8H07UTR:ABA

I'm going to try and install a touchpad from the first model into second, though I'm pretty sure its a controller chip that's causing issue
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] StardustGeass:
Personally, I've just given up my HP Lap Dock, since the experience grows worse and worse each time there is an android upgrade for my custom ROM. Currently selling it on my country's ebay-like site (it is called "tokopedia", on Indonesia).

It's a very sad thing to do, to be honest, but I found that using an android tablet (I used Tab S3) just gives me better mobility & stability on the same time. Needing to re-attach the cable often because the keyboard sometimes not responsive, or suddenly outputs a non-HD resolution already makes me run out of patience enough. On the latest custom ROM, the touchpad doesn't even work.

And then, suddenly Samsung shows up with Tab S4 with out of the box dex system with their keyboard.

Also, Microsoft Surface Go shows up in nearly the same time as well.

Those two becomes the final nail on the coffin.

I am still using dex-system on my home though, because I do not have a dedicated desktop-PC, so I'm still using my S8 quite nicely.

But, when I grab a Tab S4 or Surface Go, I think I won't use my S8's dex system that much anymore.

If only samsung releases a dedicated Lap-dock like Razer's Project, that would be a game changer. But for now, using a phone, it is just hard for me to treat an HP LapDock as a decent laptop when combined with S8.

Anyone lives in Indonesia that is interested on my HP Lap Dock, feel free to contact me :)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] StupidNoob#317:
Sorry to hear that. Yeah, I was really looking forward to using this phone with the HP lapdock since it would have output 16:9 and I wouldn't have those black bars above and below the video displayed, but oh well. It is a really good phone even now, but I really miss using my lapdock and I can't rely on Project Linda coming out at all, let alone if it will even be compatible with the OG Razer Phone since the Razer Phone 2 is coming out before the end of the year. I may just sell it. It's the gold edition one and I put a case and screen protector on it right out of the box so it's in pristine condition. I also still have the box and all inserts so hopefully it'll go for a good price, and I can just put the money I get from it towards the Note 9.

---------- Post added at 12:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:41 PM ----------

Very interesting! It is probable then that the reason my lapdock doesn't work with my Razer Phone is because of the Part Number, which would contain a control chip that doesn't play well with the Razer Phone. This would explain why only some users have gotten it to work with the Razer Phone.

However, my HP lapdock works great with the S9. In an earlier post (on this thread or another on this forum) I mentioned that right click doesn't work. I figured out that it actually does, through long press or two finger press I can't remember now, and even two finger scrolling works! I'd say one time out of six it will output a funky resolution, but simply unplug/plug back in fixes it.

Yeah. I may just sell my gold edition Razer Phone and get the Note9 since it can output Dex.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] StupidNoob#317:
Which kernal/rom did you use for your Galaxy S9 to get Dex to display to your HP lapdock?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] StardustGeass:
Presently, I'm using Alexis ROM's built in kernel... I forgot what kernel it is inside..
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] StupidNoob#317:
Are you using the S8 one for Exynos chips? I can't find Alexis ROM for S9 Snapdragons.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] StardustGeass:
Yes, I'm using an exynos one.

AFAIK, snapdragon ones still cannot be bootloader unlocked, so it is still impossible for them to have customization..
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] StupidNoob#317:
Bummer =/

Oh and an interesting "note"...my wife's Note 9 works with the HP lapdock. Boots into Dex quickly with no hassle!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] StardustGeass:
Yep! There are several "reviews" already on YouTube and such... :D

I myself can't wait to test it personally :D
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] admiraljkb:
Got my Note9 working

Thanks [MENTION=8301051]Xamadeu[/MENTION]. I've got the V8H07UTR:ABA and had serious issues on firmware 8.0.11 with the display blinking in and out with my Note 9 . Installed 8.0.12 via the HP Lapdock tools utility (via my Win10 desktop) and all compatibility issues appear to have gone away between the Lap Dock and my Note 9 (I'm still testing though). As a side note, the Lapdock util seems to _only_ be visible from the German MS Store site. for some reason.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] StardustGeass:
Woah, can you share about how to change the MS store to german and how to update the lapdock using win 10?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] admiraljkb:
It was actually surprisingly easy. I just clicked on the link above that [MENTION=8301051]Xamadeu[/MENTION] provided from my generic desktop homebrew Win10 Pro gaming system and it installed just fine. Hardware "mod" wise - I did have to plug in a USB WiFi adapter for Miracast to work. Luckily already had one laying around. (Caveat - it did NOT work on an Acer laptop with vendor provided Win10 Home image... Win Store complained about compatibility with the laptop. I suspect it would work with an HP laptop :confused:) If this hadn't worked, I was about to utter more swear words before sending it back to MS.

Updating after getting the app installed was pretty easy. The app pretty well guides you how to connect, and then you click on the firmware link on the left to check for updates and apply.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] StardustGeass:
Thank you so much!

Now I'm updating my HP Lap Dock using my Microsoft Surface Go!

Wow, I never thought it will be possible for us to update HP Lap Dock's firmware due to the discontiuation.. This feels very good...
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] Powergeek2017:
So here is my personal experience.

I own a Note 9 Exynos version. I ordered on eBay an HP Lapdock Y1M47EA#ABE. It was brand new. Firmawre 8.0.11.0. After charging it fully I connected the Note 9 with the USB-C cable included in the box. The Note 9 switched to Dex mode but the screen on the Lapdock displayed nothing. I tried with a P20 pro. Same issue. I thought the problem was the USB-C cable and went to the nearest Apple Store to buy a Belkin Thunderbolt 3 cable. Screen still off. I was able to use it wirelessly with the mirroring mode, both on the Note 9 and the P20 Pro. The sound was coming from the Lapdock speakers. I tried everything to get it to work. Reading other users, it seems that some units are compatible, others not. I am giving up on this and returning it to the seller. Waiting for the Mirabook to be available.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] StardustGeass:
Have you turn on the lapdock beforehand? If so, does the screen turned off after the screen is white?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] Powergeek2017:
Yes. I tried all the sequences, same results. Once connected, the Note activate the Dex mode. Keyboard is fully functional but screen is off.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] StardustGeass:
Ouch, I'm so sorry for that... perhaps there is a type that doesn't work or something..

Anyway, are you sure that the unit itself isn't defective? Rather than incompatible, I feel like your problem is caused by defective unit...

Have you tried updating the software?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] Powergeek2017:
Can be the unit indeed. I am sending it back anyway. I tried to update the firmware but Microsoft Store didn't allow me to download it as my device was not compatible (!).
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] StardustGeass:
Okay, it's nice having a Amazon return policy there... :)

Anyway, I'm curious because you said your audio works while docked.. meanwhile, mine doesn't work, but I have a working 2nd display..
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] Powergeek2017:
Audio works only with the wireless mirror mode.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] StardustGeass:
Okay, so it is the same with me then
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] fbloise:
advise from youtube

Hello there, I posted an advise on Youtube, have a look at installing the displaylink presenter app apk and see if it works. Exynos has DP output through USB-C so in theory should help.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] Powergeek2017:
Do you have a link for your Youtube advise? I already sent back my unit anyway. But thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] StardustGeass:
Yep, if I'm using my note 9 with an external monitor, my audio works without the help of any other apps..

Gonna try the app with hp lapdock later :D
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] fbloise:
I got a lap dock, used but okay condition. UK keyboard too. When I plug the Note 9, the lapdock keeps rebooting constantly - the keyboard works however.

I tried using my son Note 8, it behaved the same but for a moment it shown the screen, keyboard and touchpad worked fine. Weird really. After I retry with either phone it never worked again.

I tested also wirelessly, casting via Samsung Smart Things and it works fine but keyboard was not good: it kept doing double key-presses. The touchpad did not work in this mode. The audio quality in this mode was very good.

Y1M48EA

Forgot to mention the version installed: 8.0.11.0
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] erclalle:
I like the idea from [MENTION=8301051]Xamadeu[/MENTION] that I could install the necessary apps on a windows laptop, but it says my device is incompatible. Could you maybe extract the .appx packages that are downloaded using fiddler, and share them with us so we can force the install on our non-HP or incompatible laptops? I'm quite convinced that the app itself would run, but that the distribution from microsoft filters out based on arbitrary criteria such as brand name etc.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] Xamadeu:
I (Xamadeu) can't, because i sold my used x3. But the idea is good. Perhaps somone else can. Or someone must buy a device again.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] erclalle:
You're right, I'm even considering doing the same as you, did you manage to ~ break even on your x3 trades? I found 150$ deals, but not sure how likely I am to sell it back for the same price
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] Xamadeu:
I could sell it for good price, but don't know exactly anymore.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] ranova:
FYI, dockless dex is re-enabled with with One UI beta on the snapdragon S8s.

Back when the Oreo beta for s8 worked with the x3, I had bought one but then after Samsung disabled dockless Dex, I sold it.

I have now rebought the x3 lapdock and hope to use it with the s10 when it comes out
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] ranforsin:
Did anyone try to replace Android and to install Desktop Linux version? I wonder how would it work.

Will it be capable to run basic apps (browser, etc.) without lags?
