I just ordered the:

CalDigit USB-C Gen2 10Gb/s SOHO Dock - Up to 4K 60Hz, HDMI 2.0b, HDR, DisplayPort 1.4, 10Gb/s USB A & USB C, UHS-II microSD and SD Card Readers, Bus Power and Passthrough Charging Support

and

JSAUX USB C to USB C 3.1 Gen 2 10Gbps 100W Cable [3.3ft/1M], 4K@60Hz Monitor Video Cable Thunderbolt 3 Compatible with MacBook Pro, MacBook, MacBook Air, iPad Pro, Pixel and More Type-C Devices-Blue

For USB ports, the hub only has one USB-A port (and one USB-C port available when charging), but I think most of the time this will be enough. Note that the hub manufacturer's site has video and charging firmware updates (from a year ago).

I normally use only Anker cables but I don't see a Anker USB-C -> USB-C 100 watt power delivery cable that's also rugged and supports USB 3.x Gen 2.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] KanyaKickIt:
Thanks for the reply. Just to address your first reply, your issue with Anker having no hubs with removable connection cables - absolutely! And it's not just Anker. Anyway, that can be overcome with extension cables, so it's not the worst.

I found the CalDigit USB-C Gen2 10Gb/s SOHO Dock on Amazon UK (I'm in Ireland) and even as a Prime member it costs €117. It has impressive specs when it comes to data transfer speeds and display options no doubt, but that's just too expensive for me at the moment. The JSAUX model isn't available on the UK website. I assume you've ordered two hubs to see which you prefer and then return one? The returns process used to be so easy here before Brexit, but now, while I have received refunds for two recent items I returned, I had to print out two separate customs declaration forms for each product and only had the option of paying for postage myself. It used to be so painless...

As I stated earlier I went with the Ugreen cheapo hub and added a 1.8m extension cable and a Corsair Katar Pro wireless/bluetooth mouse. I've held back on a keyboard for the time being. I had looked at the Logitech MX Keys, but ideally I'd prefer a keyboard with keys that had more in common with my desktop mechanical keyboard so I've added the Royal Kludge RK61 to my buy later list. It has the same wireless/bluetooth connectivity and the ability to quickly switch between three devices as the Logitech. It also comes with it's own software, in the event that I like it so much I decide to use it on Windows as well.

Anyhow, I look forward to hearing how you get on with your hubs. I'd do the same, but it's not like you have any interest in a hub with the the specs I have chosen, lol!

Thanks again for your replies!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] roirraW "edor" ehT:
You're welcome!

My main concern with unremovable cables is that if something happens to the built-in cable, I wouldn't easily be able to substitute another without some electronics re-working/putting a USB-C port on the hub.

I've only purchased the CalDigit hub. I already have an "old" non-charging/non-power-delivery type USB 3.x Gen 1 hub which was actually free to me from 5+ years ago, and also a cheap USB-A -> 3x USB-A 3.x Gen 1 hub as well, so I could use either to get more USB-A ports from the CalDigit, although certainly, the idea of daisy-chaining two or more hubs makes me shudder. 🤣

Of course, neither of the hubs I already have would be satisfactory to use with the tablet since I couldn't use those hubs and charge the tablet at the same time.

Ugh! Indeed, sounds very painful. I just checked and you can get it directly from the manufacturer's site for £79.99, but no idea if with shipping costs it would cost the same, and I don't know what their return process is like either, if things don't work out.

Interesting! Logitech has the MX Keys Mini (or something like that), too, but I don't like keyboards that have the arrow keys smashed under the main keyboard, to the right of the space bar.

You too, I hope what you're getting works well for your usage, and you're welcome, and thank you back! :)

Anker 555 seems o be working well
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I got an email notification with your earlier unedited version of your post. Did you initially have a problem with the hub that you resolved? Would you mind sharing what the resolution of the problem was?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] lenana:
Hello, sorry. I am noob 😅; I did not understand that the Anker usb-c hub must be connected to an external power source before anything could work. That's the mistake I did.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Thanks for clarifying. With some hubs, certain parts of them seem to work without external power, but other parts - yes, as you found out, require external power. I wish it was clearer especially on the big-name hubs what will and won't work - although it might also just depend on the output amperage capability of the laptop/tablet's USB-C ports, so it might work without external power for at least some things with certain devices, but not with other devices.

I've tested my CalDigit USB-C Gen2 10Gb/s SOHO Dock some with the phones and laptops I have available, but I won't receive my Tab S8 Ultra for another 12 days (unless they delay it yet again), so I won't know what will and won't work without external power.

It definitely worked without external power for some things, but it depended on which device I plugged it into. Once I get the Tab S8U, I'll have to create a matrix chart of what works with what under which conditions.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] skrowl:
https://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=35510 just came out and they have a very low intro price right now.

It's a lower end hub in terms of specs, but it's hard to beat for just under $40
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] knosso:
Hi guys I've seen that you tried a lot of dongles/docking stations etc.

A few months ago I bought the following

https://amzn.eu/d/hEshLbm

Dongle that among other things promised 4k 60Hz. For a long time I ws not able to reach 4k on the tablet so I was not able to prove that. Finally with Good Lock and MultiStar I was able to unlock 4k for the external monitor but.... it goes to 30Hz.

Did anybody manage to output 4k 60Hz in any way?

I'm not super suprised but still it was a bummer. This adapter has HDMI so it may have to convert the signal. Since in theory USB-C supports Display port alternate mode do you think I will have better luck with a Display port adapter?

Can anyone confirm wether we have for real only HDMI 1.4 on a 2022 device? Do you know the Max supported display port version?

Thanks a lot for your help.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] roirraW "edor" ehT:
It's possible that USB 3.2 Gen 1, which only supports 5 Gb/s, isn't fast enough for 60 Hz at 4K, despite that hub (which only supports 5 Gb/s too) implying it does. This is just a guess on my part after minimal research. If I remember later, I'll test my CalDigit SOHO USB 3.2 Gen 2 hub via both HDMI and DisplayPort to my monitor and HDMI only to my TV and see what happens.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] knosso:
Hi @roirraW "edor" ehT did you manage to test it?

In the mean time I've dug a bit into the device specs to understand what is even possible. This thread looks promising: Reddit.

It Seems that the Snapdragon 8 gen 1 supports SST DP1.4. Which means we should not have problems with 4k 60Hz and that HDMI 2.0 adapters should work. So in theory we could aim at 4k 120Hz through displayport and 4k 60Hz through HDMI.

Since MST (DisplayPort Multi-Stream Transport) is not supported at the hardware level all the docs/dongles that claim to acheve something with MST will instead be slower and with lower resolutions.

There seems to be no official documentation on the Tab S8 that specifies the actual DP supported version. However it looks like DP 1.2 for whatever reason is the protocol used by dex (therefore 4k 60Hz through DP and 4k 30Hz when converted to HDMI 1.4).

It looks like a direct USB C to DP cable will indeed achieve 4K 60Hz.

It looks like the docs that claim support for 4K 60Hz and additional ports (USB A, Ethernet, etc..) do so by using DP 1.4 for badwidth reasons. Since DP1.2 has less badwidth we will have 30Hz or lower resolution.

It looks like DP1.2 has enough additional bandwidth to allow USB 2.0 speeds of something else in addition to the display. So a dongle that claims 4k 60Hz through DP while giving USB 2.0 speed on everything else should work but I havent found it.

In the end It looks like the only reliable solution to have 4k 60Hz is with a direct cable and bluetooth periferials. Am I missing something? Can anyone please confirm whether my understanding is true or false?

Edit: Looking at wikippedia it seems that the ancient DP1.2 from 2012 has a bandwidth of 17Gbps (theoretical 20+Gbps). 4k 60Hz requires 12.54Gbps therefore there must be a way to use the rest of the bandwidth for periferials. Even if I have a bunch of usb 3 that don't quite go at max speed or an ethernet that slows down when I copy a file, I would still prefer that over the Inability to use periferials or charge the device.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] roirraW "edor" ehT:
No, I haven't been able to take the time to yet, but I still plan on it. Interesting information you shared, thank you!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] knosso:
Ok I think there are a couple of options:

This one has the advantage of restoring a normal headphone jack: 1

This one has one more usb 2.0 port: 2

This one has been reported by other people as working with Tab S8 but I wasn't able to get the definitive answer. It is also the only one from a relatively reputable brand and the only one that specifies that it will definetly work with DP1.2. It has the downside of costing twice as much as the other ones: 3
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I *still* haven't tested things, but this is interesting:

The demise of HDMI over USB-C (Alt Mode) and more power in cables

True USB-C to HDMI adapters are no longer going to be a thing. The HDMI Alt Mode is more or less history, and DisplayPort has won. Notebookcheck spoke to HDMI LA and the USB-IF about it. Furthermore, there is hope that more devices can be powered directly over HDMI in future.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] niltec:
Hi all, allow me to join for your search of a hub to use with my Tab S8. As an addition to your search, I'm also looking to use it with 2 other laptops for USB-C display & PD charging. So I guess a dock that works for both laptops... Should work for the Tab S8 right?

Well, a long time ago I got the StarTech dock since my use was much more simple (display to 2 screens over HDMI). I currently use this dock to display to 1x 32"" screen over displayport. This doesn't work with my Tab S8 (which I didn't expect to), but it has raised the need for an all in one solution to this problem.

After a long search, it seems the Caldigit TS4 is the best option available right now, isn't it? It's the most promising one I have seen in a long long time. Uses displayport for display, which seems the prefered way as per previous comment. It also has an impressive array of usb-c & more, most of which will remain unplugged tbh, but could be used for a 2nd display, or others.

Would the provided USB-C specifications for the TS4 work with my TabS8 for charging and displaying to 1x 32" screen? Also for my laptops of course, which should work as they support TB4.

Also, should I get any specific cables for this? I see you have purchased the Anker Powerline II cable, would that do the job? Anything else I'm missing here, or if you're willing to spend the 400€, this is the best option?

Atm, I don't have the need to display over to 2 screens, as I always use the Tab S8 as a secondary display. If I ever would want to add a smaller display to the side, say a 24" screen, would the tab S8 support that? I understand the laptops shouldn't have an issue with the proper cables, right?

PS: I use the Logitech MX Keys & Master 3 to input to the 3 devices.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] knosso:
Hi @niltec trhuth to be told we cannot know wich parts of that doc will work without knowing how it is made inside at a logical level. You can expect however that any USB4/thunderbolt/pcie related function to straight up not work. If the dock is able to accept a simple USB3 signal with DP alternate mode you can expect the parts of the doc that are able to use this signal to work.

If that doc accepts a non pcie signal and is made to prioritize the display, then you might be able to have a 4k60p monitor toghether with USB2.0 speeds on the usbs and ethernet. So far I haven't found a dock that prioritizes that much the display.

Assuming that it works at all a more realistic speculation might be 1440p 60Hz for the display, Usb 3 5Gbps, and 1Gb ethernet..... but this is a very very very optimistic scenario because it assumes that the doc is flexible enough to accept a much lower bandwidth signal compared to what it is designed to accept. If you are unlucky the doc presents itself as a pcie device and nothing will work on our tablet that has a super outdated interface.

Ps the dongle I ordered arrived but it will be a while until I will be able to try it.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] knosso:
Hi everybody. In the end I ordered the first of the 3 dongles that I linked and I can confirm that the monitor with dex is running at 3840*2160p60 at 8bits ( so non HDR). Having only USB-2.0 on the rest of the dongle actually did the trick. So far I do use 2 dongles. The one that I linked for when I need to prioritize the display, and another one from amazon for when I need to prioritize file transfer speed. I'm not linking the second one because it is just "one among the many". It is one of those that rightfully assumes you are rocking at least DP1.4 to give you all the functions, with DP1.2 it just limits the display to save bandwidth.

If I may make a comment on the quality of the display output I would say it looks a bit raspberry-pi like/linux like: It is 4k but somehow looks less precise than on Windows. Then again It may just be a matter of me getting used to it or the font being with a different shape and stuff like that. As far as responsiveness and interaction with the system goes no complains at all except for those inherent to dex and android.

@knosso Hello, I don't know if I'm in the right place, and I don't want to disturb anyone, so sorry in advance if that's the case. I have a Galaxy Tab 8 Ultra and my need is to find a HUB and/or a Docking capable of giving me at least 2 USB A PORTS. My need is to connect two gamepads (ex: 8bit Do) wired (via USB ) for Retro Gaming (better latency via USB). Is it possible ? And if so, what product would you recommend? I directly wrote to the Anker company and they told me that their product was incompatible with the Galaxy Ultra!? Thank you and good day ! JF ps: if the device would allow me other functionality (such as a DP or HDMI output) that would also be very interesting.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] edan1979:
I used this one for my tab s8+ but only for normal usage. i dont have 2 cable controller to test. but its working on 1 xbox wired controller just fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] jfp99:
thank you for taking the time to reply, much appreciated. if I test everything soon, regardless of the dock chosen, I will indicate my results here. the one you are talking about is inexpensive and ugreen is synonymous with quality. Have a nice day and thanks again.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] knosso:
@jfp99 sorry for not replying, I didn't log in in some time. Did you manage to find something that you like? That UGREEN dongle seems nice. In general for what I observed if a person does not need to connect to a 4k display the dongle options are quite a lot and we can have almost as many ports as we want.

If instead you need 4k and would like to try one of the dongles I linked I would suggest to avoid the one with 3.5mm jack. Unfortunately the audio there is full of interference. Take the one with more usb ports instead.

Original rom. Yeah soft reset solved it, but this prob keep coming randomly. Sometime 7-8x a days, sometime not happen.

do u know any fix for it?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] DeepThought:
Are you using a taskmanager? If not, you should try to install one. I think messaging will probably still be running in the background and for some reason stuck there. That would also explain why you don't receive any notifys on new messages.

Just an idea. HTH

may i know what sms task prog name? izzit tmail.exe?

today happen again, seem nothing wrong with tmail.exe from background. But i close the task, and i able to access my messaging again without soft reset.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Jjday7:
make sure you have your email set to download the whole message because if you don't it will not allow you to open the emails. especially if it is set to the default 2k. This will stop you from even clicking on the message. hope this helps
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] cheesey:
could u tell me where the setting? because im not using email for my tp.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] DeepThought:
Yes, tmail.exe is pocket outlook. So when this is still running in background that's exactly what I mentioned above. I had this problem once on my TyTN and I fixed it by using a task manager that really closes pocket outlook every time I press OK.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] cheesey:
yeah it's work, but is there any other way to not let this happen again? because this problem coming again, but yeah kill the task is batter then soft reset. thanks anyway bro.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] euphoria47:
I thought I was doing something wrong to have this problem. It only happened a few times and only with sms. Glad to see a workaround.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] DeepThought:
You're welcome, glad I could help (at least a little) ;)

I don't know another solution unfortunately. I bought HandySwitcher at that time and set it to close applications by default (which also worked with the hardware OK button). That way I never encountered the problem again.

Hello everyone! I just bought an Amazon renewed Op 9, and I wanted to ask How to install Evolution X or Lineage OS, since maybe the instructions are different from the global Version and T Mobile version Add more step to installation or simply can not be achieved 🥺
[OnePlus 9] posar:
https://xdaforums.com/t/convert-t-mobile-oneplus-9-to-global-or-other-firmware.4277169/

Start here. Since I have a locked SIM, I used the MSM conversion package linked in the OP (https://xdaforums.com/t/convert-t-m...r-other-firmware.4277169/page-3#post-85143501).

This will get you to the stock global ROM. After, you will need to update to the most recent OOS 11 ROM: https://android.googleapis.com/packages/ota-api/package/580d47a7dde5862a306c07ff939cc4fe1520860f.zip

From here, you have a few options depending on whether or not you want to go Android 11 or 12 (since both Evolution X and Lineage OS are offered on both). Android 11 is pretty straightforward. Follow the directions in the thread to upgrade. For 12, you should be able to do the same. HOWEVER, if you become stuck with two SIM cards, neither of which show a SIM installed, you will need 1) an unlock.bin from OnePlus for your device, 2) to root your device using Magisk, 3) to apply the Magisk module found here: https://xdaforums.com/t/tmo-oos-cos-data-fix.4392895/

I'm running a debloated OOS 12 and had to root and apply the fix. Custom/Lineage ROMs may not have this issue, but it's something to be prepared for if you don't want to waste as much time as I did reflashing everything. Please note that this is a very simple step by step tutorial. READ READ READ to ensure you don't brick your device. Most bricks can be recovered with the MSM fortunately.'

Please let me know if you have any questions, and I will try my best to answer. I am by no means an expert, but I feel comfortable messing around with my phone now, enough that I don't have to consult the forums for every little thing.

Good luck, and most of all, have fun!
[OnePlus 9] Yasser.d:
Its neccesary the root for the steps?
[OnePlus 9] posar:
It's necessary to root if you experience the dual SIM issue on a 12 ROM. Otherwise, you can run unrooted just fine.
[OnePlus 9] Yasser.d:
But for backup and stuff like that? the root its needed or not? where i find a tutorial for root for my t mobile version :ccc
[OnePlus 9] posar:
Sorry for the delayed response; I wanted to find a guide that explained the process better than I could. Here are the steps to root:

Root OnePlus 9, 9 Pro, 9R Android 12 ColorOS 12 via Magisk

Thi guide will show you how to root the OnePlus 9, OnePlus 9 Pro, and OnePlus 9R running ColorOS 12 Android 12 via Magisk Patched Boot.img

www.droidwin.com

I was able to extract the boot.img using the win64 build of Payload Dumper. If I'm reading this article correctly, you shouldn't need to worry about patching vendor_boot.img or vbmeta.img unless you are rooting ColorOS (I didn't have to patch either when rooting OOS 12).
[OnePlus 9] Yasser.d:
Oh thank you very much! I'm new to oneplus and I'm afraid of doing something wrong, in xiaomi's it was a little easier.

I'll try when I have the bootloader unlocked (I'm still waiting for the oneplus email for the unlock token) so I can root and have a backup with the app in the tutorial.

Later I will try to update to oxygenos 12 I think, I liked oxygen os11 and I don't know if it's worth the change to new roms
[OnePlus 9] posar:
I like OOS 12, but some people have had complaints. I haven't noticed any glaring bugs or anything crazy. Battery life has been great, no issues with bluetooth, no crashes or anything.

I'm personally keeping my eye on the Pixel Experience 12 ROM and will probably be flashing to that once the bugs are ironed out.
[OnePlus 9] Yasser.d:
ohh I understand, but pixel experience 12 is the one that doesn't have security certificates from banks and stuff? I do not remember the app but it was the one that said that it passed the test or it did not pass
