I wanted to get the lap dock, but as a European with an Exynos Note 8, in the end I did not take the risk. Instead I now have a portable touch screen monitor from Amazon with speakers. To be honest I should have done that earlier, for me it is as good a solution as the lap dock;

- It works every time, no hassle, hard reboots, setting to dark mode etc. It should also work with any future (Samsung) phone.

- The touch screen is much better than a touch pad

- cost is about the same

- No keyboard attached of course, but mine has 2 micro USB ports, the adapter cables to USB A were included, so I can easily connect a mouse and keyboard. At home I use that, but with my Foldable Bluetooth keyboard it should be fine on the go as well.

At 15.6" it is a bit large, the 13.3" versions did not have built-in speakers. But the phone audio works as well so it would have been ok I suppose.

I am not saying the lap dock isn't nice but this is definitely a good alternative.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] bober10113:
does it have a battery?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] maartenmk:
No, it doesn't, fair point. It will run on my powerbank though, and the Samsung phone charger will also power it so you only need to carry the one. The powerbank struggles a bit, it doesn't charge the phone but otherwise it works fine.

Update: the phone also powers the screen, though not for really long, it drains the battery at over 2000mA
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] bober10113:
no keyboard and mouse either i fathom?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] maartenmk:
No (I already wrote that actually) but the touchscreen easily beats a trackpad, and the lap dock does not have a mouse either.

The Asus Zenscreen go does have a battery by the way, but no touchscreen, and it is more expensive.

sorry for going a bit off-topic by the way, but I was very interested in the lap dock (I read the whole thread) and thought others might also like this alternative.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] bober10113:
so how much did you pay?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] maartenmk:
240€ including delivery from Amazon.de. Brand is Johnwill, but it is sold under multiple brands

I'm not sure I totally understand this concept. Why merge DeX into PC? Wasnt the whole point of DeX to bypass windows by creating a desktop environment? If you're lugging you're PC, then you wouldn't need DeX in the first place. You don't need DeX to do file transfers on your PC.

I suppose a virtual android desktop at work might come handy...

Then again, this still doesn't make sense.

Not according to the link posted above outlining the new features about dex.

It states that it is "Only available in Galaxy Note 10 and Note10+, and requires PC app download" - just under the section titled "Bring samsung dex to your computer".

Hi Guys,

So, I have a mate 20 x and a Y model lap dock with original cable.

I've tried repeatedly to get it working, and occasionally, I don't know why and it is hard to repeat, but I get EMUI loaded. It's pretty amazing.

Any thoughts on how to make it consistently work?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] bober10113:
hold pwr button for a good 15 seconds (till u see the keyboard backlight open. as per previous discussion)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] BuHaneenHHHH:
I bought a 15.6" FHD Touchscreen with Battery from AliExpress for 170USD. It very good. The battery last for 3-4 hours. I couldn't find a smaller one with touch and battery. This screen was the only one with both touch and battery.

I use it with my note 9 with type c to type c cable that came with the screen and it works well. I can use it with my windows 10 pc using hdmi to mini hdmi cable and usb cable to get a second monitor with touch.

I have been using it for 2 months now and it is like having a big tablet with high specs for cheap price.

It comes with a book case, type c to type c cable, type a to type c cable, mini hdmi to hdmi cable and the 12v charger.

All for 170usd with shipping through DHL.

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

Forgot to mentions that the Touchscreen has speakers too. But they are average sound quality. I use my Samsung level flex to listen to the audio
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] sonicb00m77:
Hi there,

Regrettably, that suggestion does not work on my combo units(Mate20x, Y model lap dock.)

I am baffled as to why I've had success, albeit rare.

The couple of times it work, I had launched an OTG usb checker app, then launched the lap dock, again I don't know if I can confirm this was the magic sauce but it did work 2/100. lol.

Anyways, really want this to be reliable, I've also tried the play music trick, didn't work.

Thanks again.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] bober10113:
cable ? or

i do know that the usb c port on the lapdock is a bit loose. but on note 9 phones, having the laptop dock plugged in with either the supplied usbc hp cable or an other good quality 10 gbps capable cable and holding the left side power button for the prescribed 15 or more seconds does the trick every time.( any random charging usb c cable wont work. thunderbolt cables seem to work better)

HP Lapdock and Sony Xperia 1

Popping in to mention that I got the HP Lapdock Y1M47EA#UUW to work very good with my Sony Xperia 1 and Sentio Desktop. As others have mentioned the touchpad buttons do not work, but apart from that, everything is fine as long as i'ts connected with the cable. The only problem apart from the buttons, is that Netflix won't work inside Sentio Desktop due to some resolution issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] zirali1981:

Hi,

I have the Y4T08AA LapDock and I tried connecting a One Plus 3, a Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 with the cable and nothing happens but when I connect via settings/wireless display from both phones it works pretty well for things like YouTube, Kodi etc and yes the speakers on the LapDock do work. The keyboard on the LapDock won't type I wish there was an app that fixed this somehow....
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] radie1230:
Curious to know if anyone's tried this and gotten similar results with a Note 10 (or 10+)?

I will be getting the Y4T07AA shortly and will be testing it with my Note 10+ Exynos

I've found the links and steps above to update the wireless firmware.

Any tips or notes to update the direct connection firmware? Or anything else I should look for? I appreciate that many of you have had these for quite a while and would like to get your experience before spending many hours down the wrong rabbit holes :)

Anyone try "Y" model lapdock ( Y4T07AA ) with a US snapdragon note 9?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] Petitmaurice:
Yes I am using it with a US Note 9. Bought the lapdock and note 9 In USA.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] JayRayMee.NL:
I found one for € 149,- so couldn't resist taking that chance, even after having read my chances would be slim, and of course it bit me in the @ss...

Model Y1M47EA#ABH.

Running on the latest (wireless) firmware the v2.3.6.0 HP Wireless Settings Windows 10 app had to offer, and it's running in the infamous HDMI connected/disconnected/check HDMI connection loop with a European Exynos Note 10+, Note 8 and S8.

Done all the tricks and suggestions, but it just won't work. Keyboard does work as others have experienced as well. Smart View/casting works, but this is only mirroring, without any input.

When plugging in my Tab S4 it immediately works, Dex launches, even audio goes through the Lapdock speakers. That works perfect, they way I would want it, but there's no use to having the Lap Dock hooked to the Tab S4 with keyboard cover.

That Tab S4 is a Snapdragon model, so I am just guessing my Lap Dock only works with Snapdragons, and not at all with Exynos.

Unless you guys know of something else, I think I'm just going to give up trying.

BTW: some people talk about having screen mirroring, but that the key input doubles. How do you get the Lap Dock keyboard/mouse to work over wireless screen mirroring in the fist place then?

EDIT: after fiddling with it again last night, the Exynos Note 8 suddenly works - kind of. Dex launches, and it shows up on the Lap Dock, but in a distorted resolution, and I can't use the Lap Dock keyboard and mouse, but I can control the mouse using the Note 8 screen touch pad option. Couldn't change the resolution, and don't know why it suddenly started working with the Note 8.

No luck with the Note 10+, but at least there's some 'renewed motivation'.

Gonna try some other cable options.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] JayRayMee.NL:
Ok, I got seriously lucky.

Found the mainboard of the V8H07UT#ABA online, and it arrived today.

Replaced the mainboard of my Y1M47EA#ABH with it, and I now have a working Lap Dock with my European Exynos Note 10+. Happy camper here!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] pptt:
Nice. Where did you find the main board and was it hard to swap?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] JayRayMee.NL:
Got the board from Exact-Parts (although it would appear it was their last and only one).

If you have some experience in component assembly, building computers etc., then it's pretty straight forward and just your average board replacement.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] iambackit:
Hi guys, I had many problems using DEX on HP Elite x3 Lap Dock, i saw many topics on here and on Reddit and too much problems.

I found a solution to resolve the HDMI connect / disconnect error and also the resolution problem (only HD+ and not FHD) when Galaxy Fold was connected to the lap dock.

I made a video to explain step by step...is very simple, and i hope it will be useful to you, if you are in my same situation.

Hi, thanks for the informative vid!

However, will this method work for Y model lapdock?

Cos i live in asia (singapore) and V model is only avail in ebay at 500+ (last set). Cant bear to part my 500+ for this. Found a cheaper source frm china at 160 only. But its a Y model.. ??
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] iambackit:
I don't know, i never tried with a Y lapdock...remember also that this workaround maybe can't works with Exynos CPU on newer S/Note models, instead on SnapDragon CPU all works great.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] vanngoh:
Mmm, might scrap this idea totally, nexdock touch seems like a sure work and a full refundable $100 deposit sounds like a better proposition.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] iambackit:
Sure...you are talking about nextdock touch, 14" ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] vanngoh:
Yes! Quick go sign up! Delivery Jul 2020 (not!)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] iambackit:
Yes i saw it...not bad, i'll follow but 300€ it's too much...you can buy a cheaper notebook for about the same price. I will see...for now, i'm go out daily with my lapdock :)

Hi guys I've been trying to make heads and tales out of this long post here are my findings....

I have the Product Number Y4T08AA Serial 8CG64150T1

I don't have a Samsung to test it with at the moment...

I've tried it connected to a Letv X600 which is MHL compatible and it doesn't work....Although it connects through wireless display works via this method and even sound works via the lapdock speakers plus it looks nice and doesn't not let you type via the Lapdock

Again I tried connecting it to my Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 5G and the Lapdock screen turns off and I get some weird options on the Mi Mix 3 in regards to keyboard .......Connecting via wireless screen mode is decent the video playback is nice and again sound ouput comes via the lapdock.....No typing capability (via lapdock) in wireless mode

I'm still yet to test this with some Samsung models that I don't personally have but I have to wait on family members in order to rule out any Samsung models....
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] iambackit:
It's so difficult with Samsung, i wouldn't waste time with other brand...at least with Huawei, but no other. ;)

Today I connected a Samsung S10 with a SnapDragon via the cable and it was a brief test as it wasn't my phone and it worked pretty well including the keyboard.......

I also managed to get an old Samsung S8 with SnapDragon and I'm still currently testing it via the cable it works very well including the trackpad I'm able to type etc.... I'm unable to hear audio on youtube via the LapDock I'm still investigating this.......I'd almost lost complete hope for this LapDock and I was considering selling it.........

I'll try to add some videos for better understanding.....

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] GRobert74:
I got one for 40 eur but didn't checked the version, it was the only available I could get anyway. It's a Y1M47EA, does it work only with SnapDragon CPU's or none at all? I've tried to connect a S21 Ultra w Exynos cpu and doesn't work via usb c. It works only in wireless mode but the mouse/trackpad doesn't work even If I connect an external one.

Anyone looking to sell their HP Elite X3 Lapdock? Looking for V model only...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] StardustGeass:
1. Yes, somehow it just doesn't want to charge using 3rd party adapter.. I have a 45w aukey charger and another 45w aukey power bank that doesn't work with elite lap dock.. Could you please link the one that works with lap dock?

2. Yes. I think it is because Samsung DeX need a special USB C cable that enables data and video/audio out as the same time.. Sadly, not all USB C have a same 3.1 quality.

3. Nope, it somehow doesn't work on cable.. at first, when I'm using nougat S8 (when it just got released), the audio still works, albeit poorly (the sound easily got distorted), and suddenly, on oreo update, it simply doesn't work anymore. But, I can say it is not defective hardware wise, because if I connect it via wireless screen, the audio works great.

4. Yep, same here.

For the record, I'm using an exynos 128 version.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] strikeIII:
The funny thing is it's a HP 45w that doesn't work. You would think an HP of all would work. Lol. The one I use is an Anker 60w.

Anker USB C with Power... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07BQJWDRM?ref=yo_pop_ma_swf

As far as the sound goes it's not a huge deal breaker as I'm usually using a wired or BT headset.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] StardustGeass:
Oh, lol... I read your first statement wrongly... hahaha

Well, on me, the HP 45W charger is the one which worked.. it is the default one though (the one I got from buying this lapdock), and I thought you experienced the same.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] strikeIII:
Yeah I already had the HP 45w adapter from a different model laptop at work and instead of buying the OEM 45w for the Lap dock decided to try the Anker 60w since I was able to receive it same day from Amazon.

Have you used the correct USB C cable? Sometimes, USB c have different specs and some of them does not support display out..
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] robbosham:
I bought unit new, i was using the cable which came with it, i just bought the Belkin 10gbs usbc cable(mentions supporting 4k display output etc), it does the same thing.

what are the chances of changing ROM's fixing the issue?

workaround for sound issue

Hey guys! great thread!

I bought a Y1M47EA version of the dock and it does not work with my Note 9 SM-N960F Exynos Device (Europe / Austria).

Then I found this thread and I ordered a V8H07UT from USA. Unfortunately it also shows the same behaviour (ensure HDMI cable is connected properly - and the screen remains black - only keyboard, no track pad). Was disappointed - as some of you describe the Exynos version to be working with V8H07UT - and was looking forward to have this great solution using Note9 with a Lapdock.

Then I connected my Galaxy Tab S4 to the Lapdock and it does work!

I was surprised! and it is also great fun to have a dual screen setup in this compact format... the screen on the Tab S4 is not in Dex mode... but you can still use it as normal with split screen and can therefore e.g. have email app on one side, instant messager on the other side and on the laptop use the full dex functionality.

Issues:

I do also have the issue that a hardware click is not recognized at the touchpad as some described in this thread. Only soft clicks on the touch pad... ok... I could live with that - but in TeamViewer application - which I use very often - this kind of left click is not recognised... I have to use an external mouse, or have to use the Galaxy Tab S4 as a trackpad (and loose thereby the second screen option).

And the the sound issue as descibed in this thread... bretty much annoying to have a silent system.

Sound issue workaround:

But then... I found a workaround for the sound issue!:

If you unlock the developer options in your device - tap the build number in the info section several times until unlocked - (at least in Note9 and Galaxy Tab S4) you could find under section "Media" something like "USB Audio redirection". If activated - this suppresses the redirection of the audio to USB/HDMI and you can have the sound put to your speakers of the Galaxy device and your Lapdock setup is no longer silent.

Best,

Gundal
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] socos:
Just picked one of these up through eBay ($139 refurb but in retail box, plus last week's 10% off coupon). It looked brand new to me. I'm using all the cables that came in the box. Everything does seem to work except as others have said no left/right click (only tapping) and no sound. I have noticed that the Chrome browser can output sound. Was able to watch YoutubeTV on Chrome (make sure to enabled 'Desktop site'), a little laggy at times, but pretty watchable. I have plugged in a USB-C to USB-A adapter, seems to work fine. I plugged in a Logitech nano USB transmitter and the mouse works great.

Overall this is probably the best demonstration of DeX out there. I'm really wondering why Samsung doesn't sell an official lapdock. Some might say that people wouldn't care for this ability, but I think this is one of those things where people don't know what they want until you show it to them.

I know they could just re-use unpurchased Chromebook shells. LOL.

**UPDATE** Sound seems to work now with everything, not sure what I did but I was messing with the Developer option to disable USB audio re-routing. Maybe I just needed to reboot the phone?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] kill_dano:
Was the USA model refurbished? If so, I'm wondering if they just use any replacement parts, from any model, and maybe that's why it's not working for you.

LapDock abruptly stopped working

Hello,

I am not sure if this issue was mentioned before. I purchased a brand new sealed lapdock with the correct model number etc. It was working fine(aside from audio of course) until it just stopped working. Instead of booting into DeX automatically, my Note 9 just charges the Laptdock. I am using a USB C 3.1 cable and I have also tired the one in the box. It was working 20 minutes prior, then all of a sudden it completely stopped working and now it hasnt worked with DeX for 3 days(smart view still works fine). I have tried 3 cables and 2 Note 9's, which all do the same thing. Any help would be great. Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] jromo1990:
Difference?

Is there a difference between V8H07UT#ABA and V8H07UT#BI

I know V8H07UT is said to work with minor issues but does the ending of the model matter for audio?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] norths03:
Overall I've been really liking the Note 9 with the HP Lap dock. My big question is whether there is a way to set the default zoom level for Dex or the chrome browser or the Samsung browser. All of the google apps show extremely small text and the browsers do as well. It seems like there should be some soft of default zoom setting for Dex so that I don't have to manually zoom each webpage I look at. Let me know if you know how or have any workaround ideas. (posted from my Note 9/Lap dock)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] fbloise:
I'm more aboutt the sound. As you plug the Note9, the sound gets redirected to the HP Lapdock. I can't seem to find an option to ooutput the sound on the phone speaker instead, not in the Dex options nor the sound options.

Any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] StardustGeass:
Nope, dex doesn't have that feature any more, which is strange, to be honest...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] charmz2k2:
I spoke to a seller and was told that the last section refers to the key board language.
