I recently purchased a USB/C to HDMI cable for my Brax 3 but I am unable to get it to work. Any suggestions? Thanks! ---

I don’t see anything mentioned in the specs that it has HDMI out on the USB-C port. Did you see this somewhere, that would be good to know about. ---

Btw, when I go to USB devices in settings “controlled by” options are “connected device” and “this decice” and I try to switch it says “couldn’t switch” ---

It doesn’t specifically say HDMI out but when you go to USB in settings but it has different options. Just none of them work with the HDMI cable. I just want to be able to project what is on my phone (mostly video) to a different/larger screen. ---

It may not output HDMI that way. You may have to cast your display using an app just for that. I’m pretty sure some of those are in F-Droid. A dock hub may be able to do what you’re trying for as well. I don’t have a Brax3 myself so I can’t try it out. I’ve kicked around the idea of buying on though. Maybe support can more directly answer whether the USB C port has any HDMI out capability. ---

This is specifically for connecting to other devices such as computers. Is that what you were trying to do when changing that? ---

I am trying to watch my son’s hockey games on an app called LiveBarn. Unfortunately LiveBarn doesn’t have an app on Roku so that I can watch it on a bigger screen. When I screen share with my phone it lags and freezes. ---

After some research I am guessing that the brand I have isn’t compatible. Hoping someone from Brax can recommend one that is. ---

I’m not sure I understand. Would an app on Fdroid make this thing work? ---

I’m not sure the details on HDMI out of the USB-C port on this device. Another option is to screencast from your device to your tv, if your tv supports it. An app like [CastLab | F-Droid - Free and Open Source Android App Repository](https://f-droid.org/en/packages/app.fedilab.castlab/) may do it. I’ve not tried it as this is not a use case I ever have or need. ---

I don’t recollect any Brax publicity saying the Brax3 phone could output HDMI. This would require hardware translation in the phone. And when you plug in a USB-C data capable device the options given are PTP (photos), MIDI (musical instrument control), Tethering (internet), and File transfer {media transfer protocol). Also Settings \> Display \> has no options for sharing output to an external display. An app can do the video translation to HSDMI via USB, and the one suggested by @greengenie above looks like a good bet. Again I have never had this use case … ---

I dont think this feature would be on an under $400 phone as its a big feature and more on more expensive high end phones as it needs higher quality port specs to do it I think. I do have it on my S26 Ultra though 😀 as that also has DEX for some simple computing stuff. I dont think its on Pixels though even the high end ones for some reason, but I could be wrong. Casting is your only option I think. ---
