AFAIK, HP lapdock problem is that several version of them refuse to work with Samsung DeX (and even Huawei EMUi desktop). So, seeing that you have tried many cables that doesn't work, I think it have problems with the lapdock itself.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] bober10113:
?

i have 2 cables that work. just tring to figure out the common ground and why some work and why some dont. my original hp lapdock cable seems to be loose/have a bad connection because it sometimes says hdmi error or something. so i decided to try and buy many other after market cables to see. to my surprise i did get 1 working cable and it works everytime no errors.

also to everyone with the touch pad issues:

HP Lap Dock Firmware Revision: T0057

Touchpad Support for touchpad physical click, drag and drop

‐---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

it may have come up in previous posts but just wanted to know if any of you can confirm physical click working through dex after doing the update?

also i am looking to buy a windows phone to do the update. from what i understand only the HP elite phone can update the lapdock?

and im not talking about the hp wirelessebassiatnt update, talking about true firmware. if anyone has a lumia 950 or something, can you guys update the lapdocks firmware with it?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] server5:
The question that i have will the update break DeX? Can you down grade the firmware?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] bober10113:
?? wha? has there been any reports?

edit so apparently even with latest firmware it still might not work:

On my X3 everything ok but audio.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] server5:
Launch smart things and then right click audio icon and select usb
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] megatooth:
I can not launch smart things when Dex mode is on.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] server5:
What's the error message when you try?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] megatooth:
No option for usb audio!

View attachment 4690952
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] bober10113:
Go to dev.options and play around with ' disable USB audio routing' function. Reboot a few times.

Also, uninstall smart things and reinstalled it when under DeX.

Don't know the exact order but that's how I got it to work...just screwing around with it.

Also can you connect using smart view and see if you can get smart things to switch from phone to lap dock
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] hakami55:
ps. I also update to t0059 and still the same no change

In smart view can get smart things to switch from phone to lap dock, on Dex no audio ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] server5:
Disconnect whatever audio device showing and try the above procedure
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] megatooth:
I managed to have audio, in Dex mode, only from the phone: in developer option - enable Prevent USB audio routing, than in DEX option default audio output setting - off ,restart and connect!

Direct audio in Dex Mode no way for me!!!

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] norths03:
Has anyone figured out how to make the lapdock charge without being on? I've had two now and neither would take a charge unless turned on.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] server5:
Charging is tricky because of the mis- understood auto standby mode. Press and hold the power down to fully exit standby. Then plug in and press power indicator. Once fully charged the led will blink but then disappears. When in doubt press and hold power button to charge or exit from standby
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] Lap Docker:
For those who face some connection issues after upgrading to Pie:

For me it works if I plug the cable first into the lapdock then only loosely into the note9, then fully.

It seems that it like to get some soft connect before plugging in after upgrading to pie
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] server5:
" then only loosely into the note9, then fully..."

Are you saying that you can plug the cable only half way then fully???
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] jeffary:
Anyone having any issues with the keyboard? The physical keyboard on the LapDock has issues when switching between apps or windows - it doesnt seem to follow into or back into the window I want.

For exmaple, if I am working in Samsung Internet, and I switch into another app, then switch back into Samsung Internet, the keyboard will not work unless I close out the previous app.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] server5:
No issues like yours per say, switching is normal however occasionally the spell checker goes haywire. not too sure what's going on but I do recall someone mentioning something about language settings...

one idea is to clear the DeX Home Cache and restart
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] Wanyuss:
After i plug in the cable.dex just black screen. after that i try press Print screen button on lapdock and see at my phone galary and i get this pic.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] bober10113:
no picture were posted in your comment.

are you using the original HP lapdock cable?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] Wanyuss:
Yes im using ori hp cable.about pic i dont know why cant insert pic here.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] bober10113:
rhen i think you need a minimum of a few posts. forum req. or simething

i think PIE killed it.

i cant get usb audio to work anymore on pie....
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] fbloise:
I’m going to try tomorrow. Would be good to use with some NFC routines app
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] server5:
Can anyone else confirm if Note9 Pie and Lapdock are ok? Ie. Sound and screen?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] bober10113:
screen and input same as on oreo. i just cant get the sound to work. might just be me but lets wait for other to chime in
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] server5:
So nothing happens with SmartThings turned on? No right click option on the speaker icon??
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] bober10113:
nope theres a blank space where usualy there would be the audio device. its weird.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] server5:
That sucks. We need more testing
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] bober10113:
ill try with an other pie custom rom just in case
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] ProEDL:
Note 9, Pie, lapdock and I can choose for sound output between lapdock (still not working) and the phone.

Never used Pie beta. European Note 9, US lapdock

It's also working well with my DeXpad and my DeXstations with my external displays.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] megatooth:
You don't have Pie on phone?

View attachment 4696514
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] bober10113:
ok so its working!

dont know exactly what i did.

i had just dirty flashed a custom rom. have a few audio related magisk modules active too. inicially i could not get the lapdock to display an image/dex.

hard rebooted it (hold down power button)with the phone still attached to it. waited and everything connected uppon reboot. phone and hdmi lapdock audio were now selectable in the audio menu.

im going to run and go make a twrp backup now ...lol
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] bober10113:
magisk modules
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] server5:
Bravo!! [emoji122]
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] bober10113:
also to everyone using pie night mode aka dark theme. turn it off before starting dex!

its the cause of the blanked out audio output choices

Sorry to hijack with this quick question:

Has anyone tested plugging an iPad Pro 2018 to a HP x3 Lapdock
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] Wanyuss:
What is ur lapdock model.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] bober10113:
ill check later tonight. but i might have already posted the info sometime ago in this thread... not sure

V8H07UT#ABA
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] silvertriclops:
Has anyone tried it with an S9? I'm looking forward to the Pie update so I can use dex, don't want to deal with betas but the final is rolling out to some carrier models already and my U1 should get it soon. But my lapdock just got delivered, and I plugged it up to try it out without dex. Sound works! I turned on the lapdock then plugged in the phone and spotify is playing through the lapdock speakers. The headphone jack works too.

So has anyone else tried it with a S9 on either oreo (and can confirm if sound works) or the final pie build (and does sound work?)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] megatooth:
Yes, on s9+, but no sound.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] server5:
So to clarify, the Note9 updated to PIE with X3 LapDock (any version) working with sound selectable via speaker icon and dark mode causes issue with display and zero mouse clicks via touch pad
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] ProEDL:
U have to read the other pages of the thread: only a few versions are working with Samsung Dex - doesn't matter if Android 8 or Pie or S8, S9(+) or Note(8/9).

Sound ist for most of the owners only working with (selectable) phone speaker and only touch pad "clicks" with your finger work.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] bober10113:
pretty sure sound works on all models. just need patience and understanding.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] server5:
Actually I'm already aware. I was just trying confirm with others that their LapDock works with Sound and SmartThings. But under PIE I was looking for confirmation before I update to PIE. S9 AND Note8 are not applicable. Those are different problems and THIS thread is related to NOTE9.

Out of curiosity, has anyone attempted to update DeX Home App version?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] megatooth:
On PIe I have DeX 3.1.24 . The latest version is Samsung DeX 3.1.29. I can not update to the latest version using apk.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] server5:
you have to modify the APK to allow instal
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] Aleemz:
Will the Lap Dock version V8H07UT work with my Exynos 9810 NOTE 9 (SM-N960F)?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] bober10113:
how's you patience and reading skills?

prety sure any lapdock can work with any note 9.

it just takes a few tries.

and from my experience, when ever i thought it wouldint work. i came back to it later sat down and rebooted everything( read the comments here in this thread) and got it to work.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] Aleemz:
I've read though the thread and while one person states the Y model lap dock works, another says it doesn't.

I don't mind messing around to get it to work, but I'd want it to work consistently once it is workng.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] server5:
This setup is not for everyone. It's what they call hit or miss. From my experience it's been a hit on oreo. From what i understand, pie looks to be a hit too.

because this setup was never intended to be used this way, you assume your own risk. My hunch tells me you'd be fine. For 199.00, I'd take the chance because this setup has now become my daily driver.

Good luck
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] bruiserman:
I've been using the lapdock for a couple weeks. Everything works with my note 9 except sound, but I do get sound once in a while and some apps always have sound. It's really selective and weird. I also just got linux for dex working but no sound through that either. I haven't tried mirroring yet to test the sound. That's next on the list of things to do.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] ProEDL:
Yes, because V8H07UT is confirmed by all of the contributors of the threads and I own the similiar combination.

European versions of the lap dock in terms of FR/UK/GER keyboards are not usable.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] megatooth:
Mine:

On Pie no audio, everything else is ok.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] ProEDL:
Wow, many congrats. I tried a lot others in Europe with no success, included the attached one.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] zanzee:
I've found if you have any apps running that use sound it'll stop the dex sound from enabling. I think it has something to do with the usb audio handover not working so great in Android. Soon as I force kill something like playmusic its all good in the hood so the reboots make sense.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] server5:
Yeah rebooting the lapdock or your phone definitely works but my go to fix has always been smartthings.

Whatever works for you...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] loudog3114:
DUDE, you have no idea how much googling and scrolling I had to do to find your post and finally get that HP lap dock wireless windows 10 app install. You're and gentleman and a scholar.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] loudog3114:
I am not a note 9 user, but this is the longest thread on the web about this dock so I figured I would give my input. I tried my mate 20 x and my razer phone 2 with a usb c to c cable and neither worked. I then went to best buy and got a real thunderbolt 3 cable. The mate 20 x still does not work, though it gets closer and gives a different error. The razer phone 2, however, works. It just doesn't have a desktop mode like huawei or samsung. I am going to test my asus rog phone tomorrow, which does have a desktop mode.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] bober10113:
ok

---------- Post added at 02:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:20 AM ----------

btw that update is useless.

in the sense that it dosent touch the actual lapdock firmware where audio/HID/display needs to be fixed.

its just the miracast firmware. but remote display already works properly so....
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] zanzee:
Using smartthings was something I found to be a must but sometimes it doesn't always work, like say your playing music in the background or something.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] loudog3114:
The huawei phones have the ability to wireless cast desktop mode. I was hoping the update would make the touchpad work, but it did not. At least now I know. Also, it does not work on the asus rog phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] loudog3114:
FWIW I got a Verizon Note 9 and after a few plugs/unlplugs from the dock the resolution was detected properly and audio works. I think samsungs dex is a bit nicer than huawei's desktop mode, though both are nice.

I seem to have a weird lapdock; its a "Model 0" with "0y0y0y" warranty. I wonder if it was a pre-production model.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] bober10113:
ah i see. but in that scenario, would the HID work?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] loudog3114:
It doesn't, which sucks. So basically no dice with a huawei phone. Might be because they use their own in-house SoC's.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] zanzee:
Got Pie this morning on my s9 plus, dex works awesome with everything but touchpad buttons.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] silvertriclops:
When you hold shift while pressing space, does it insert a space or popup/change the keyboard language?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] zanzee:
Nope just scrolls, I think that's just a windows thing.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] silvertriclops:
Talking about with dex. When I'm using my lapdock with my S9 and hit space while shift is still pressed it'll popup "English (US)" instead of inserting a space. The alternative is using swiftkey, which doesn't do that, but then the phone screen turns on and blurs everything making it useless
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] zanzee:
In dex it doesn't try and change input like it does in windows. Although I don't have any other keyboard languages installed. My wife is Chinese so I get what your trying to do.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] ProEDL:
Shift+Space will change the language, but for me it's still the same. I don't have installed multiple languages.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] silvertriclops:
I also only have one language enabled (English US) but space is supposed to insert a space whether shift is pressed or not...

For now I've settled with just using SwiftKey, and not using the phone screen for anything while I'm typing on the lapdock
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] zanzee:
I decided for funsies to try out my lap dock with my new Nvidia 2080 Ti USB-C port in Windows 10 1809. Everything works! Display, sound, USB ports, keyboard and.... both left and right touchpad buttons!

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] MrPhilo:
For people who bought it off Amazon US has the dock worked fine? Since I'm from the UK it be a hassle if I got the wrong model and it doesn't work...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] bober10113:
that's the thing, not 100% sure there is a wrong model.

patience might simply be the key.( with literacy of course)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] MrPhilo:
Do you know roughly the models that work? Thinking of messaging the seller and see if they could send me a model with this model number. I've searched model but couldn't find much in the thread. Maybe I'm just blind.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] zanzee:
Most of the issues seems to be with european users, I wonder if its a kernel issue and not the lap dock itself?. As us NA users are all running snapdragon and would obviously have a different kernel possibly with different modules?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] bober10113:
I'm on a Korean N using an F kernel.

so ... dont think that is it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] zanzee:
Don't all Korean 9's use a exynos? People with snapdragons seem to have nearly full compatabiliy so thats the only difference I can see.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] bober10113:
thats my point. I can get the lapdock to work fine
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] megatooth:
After smartThings update (to ver. 1.7.27-25) i have audio on Lap Dock but touchpad won't work and viceversa! :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] silvertriclops:
I seem to have both working...

I've noticed that smartthings shows 3 audio devices when the lapdock is connected. If I select HDMI or Display out, nothing comes through. But there is a USB audio option (which is selected by default) and when that is selected audio works.

Also, audio comes through the last connected device. So if you plug in the lapdock and then plug in headphones into the phone, audio will come through the headphones. Ditto with a bluetooth speaker.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] server5:
Samsung is "committed" to DeX but the dev team isnt really doing much other than what's already been available for a while. Clearly the length of this thread shows incredible interest in a Samsung made Dex LapDock solution and not just and HDMI port to external monitors. The S10 native DeX support as in the N9, shows that direction is deX-ify all new models going forward but what about filling that niche market that is currently available.

Whats that saying? "you snooze.... you ....."

With Samsung DeX The Future of Computing is Mobile:

https://youtu.be/IRJtuvXqHMY
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] StardustGeass:
To be honest, I was an avid followers of Dex during the start. Before the launch of S8, I personally looked for low budget phone (Xiaomi). The presence of DeX is what made me join the flagship wagon. Sadly, after its release, Samsung (and Huawei with their EMUI desktop), doesn't seem to care about this system. The only thing I consider as an upgrade, is the ability to dual screen the device, starting on Note 9 (meanwhile, Huawei already did that since the beginning).

I mean, look at how windows try to introduce windows continuum to the market. They release the dock, followed by a lapdock, to show how serious they are with the product. Sadly, the product is already on their last breath, so they don't have any time to improve.

Meanwhile, Samsung is going to be on their third year of desktop computing, and the only thing they do is just releasing a dock each year.

I mean, come on. If they take the DeX system more seriously, this could be a huge blow everywhere. Linux on DeX is a good starter, but seeing at how late their development team introduce it, I can only see the disinterest on their R&D.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] bober10113:
well for starters they allowed 3rd party usb c devices to act as a dock. so that opens the door to alot.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] MJWBuffalo:
I've read it all but....

Ok, I've read the thread from the beginning but have a problem no one else has commented on....

Dex is by all accounts working perfectly (no touchpad clicks) except for one huge issue. Video only works without audio. I can load a video from my gallery (where audio is by default muted) and it will play fine. Once I unmute, it goes choppy and no sound. Mute it again and it stays choppy

-I have a US Note 9 with Pie and brand new lap dock V8HO7UT from Amazon. I never tried it before with any other operating system.

- I am using the included cable

- I have reset the power with the phone disconnected, with the cable disconnected and both

-Smart Thing is installed and USB audio is selected

- I do have sound for notifications, the ringer, etc so I know the lapdock sound works. I also have video on the note 9 so I know that it's not the phone

- Youtube and netflix will open but video is in super slow mo choppy and then freezes

-Pandora opens after the 2nd try, but no sound.

- if I switch to screen mirroring, the video works great but still no audio on the phone. If I switch the audio from Display Device to USB Audio, it goes choppy again and still no audio

Again, I read the whole thread but didn't see a mention of video issues related to audio. One of the main reasons I bought this was to watch videos on the plane during an upcoming vacation. Other than that, I could use this every day. The HP Lap Dock seems to be a high quality piece.... now if I could just get video!

Thanks,

MJW
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] bober10113:
just checked and a downloaded movie played well. and a video made from the camera also played well

can you get an mp3 audio file to play well?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] server5:
Okay, ill take a stab....

1. Did you clear cache after pie update

2. Did you clear cache for video player

3. Did you check if your c-port or cable is clean

4. Can you test different video type. Mp4 etc

5. Can you bring your lapdock to any mobile store and test another phone ei. S9 or n9 etc
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] bober10113:
it seems that anyone with a rooted phone has less issues.

either because if pure skills and knownledge of technology or because there is something custom roms have that is working better. or in the case of pure stock maybe audio addons.

for me(appart from being on a custom rom,) i have audio modificatjon library and viper magisk modules that are active. for viper i need to turn off convolvver on usb and phone speakers because i know i screwes with the lapdock audio sometimes. same as when i do miracast. sometimes i get bad results when viper is processing.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] server5:
Pure stock no audio or video issues (aside from using smartthings for audio routing)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] bober10113:
hummmm

idunno then
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] MJWBuffalo:
New Wrinkle...

So many of you were saying that I just needed to keep playing so tried something new:

When I got home, I plugged in headphones into the lapdock. Nothing changed. But when I plugged headphones into my note 9, everything worked fine! Maybe this can help somebody further troubleshoot my issue?

Thanks,
