DeX not working on Note 9

[1bellb]

I got my new Note 9 and I purchased a type C to HDMI cable so I can use DeX. I don't actually own a monitor, but I do have a Samsung smart TV.
When I plug the Note 9 in, It just gives me options to charge or transfer images. DeX doesn't pop up on my phone. The TV recognises something is plugged in, but says "no signal".
What am I doing wrong? Or isn't it compatible with large TVs?

There are some minor caveats here, however. If you go with a USB Type-C to HDMI cable instead of the official DeX dock


Buy Samsung's official DeX cable ($49.99)

Buy Samsung's official DeX Pad (with charging)($68.88)

Buy Samsung's official DeX Station (with charging and ethernet) ($149.99)

This one works great with my Note 9. I like it better than the actual DeX Station. This is a lot more case friendly.

This is the cable I got, which even has a review from someone using it for the Note 9.

I have been using the same UGREEN cable without any issues for the past 2 months and since yesterday the DeX option does not pop up anymore and I only have USB-C charge notification. No changes after rebooting. Any suggestions? Phone stayed connected to TV via HDMI cable overnight, in case that could have anything to do with it??

could it be related to latest security patch ( January )

I ran into this with my third party hub and HDMI cable. The phone had to be charging for DEX to activate. In my case a charger needed to be plugged into the hub, because the USB-C port on the Note 9 was being used by the input to the hub.

I figured this out by trying my daughter's DEX dock. It needed to be charging, also to activate DEX mode.
