Does not work with Oculus Quest VR (Samsung Note 9)

I have a Samsung Note 9. Although my SmartTV has Chromecast, Oculus Quest can only use Chromecast Gen 3 or Chromecast Ultra, and Chromecast cannot be integrated into the TV (you need a dongle). , the cable remains unconnected. I had to stand with the phone in hand and plug the cable into the phone at the right angle or a pop-up would appear saying "HDMI not connected". So it wasn't fun. When you connect your phone, you'll get a notification at the top (swipe down on your phone) saying DeX is enabled. Clicking this will turn your phone black with a quad grid and you will see the screen version of your phone on the TV. You have to swipe this black screen grid and you will see the cursor move on your TV screen. Anyway, I used this grid technique on my phone, without taking my eyes off the TV screen, opened the Oculus app and clicked the screen share icon. A very small image appears in the center of my TV screen that actually shows what's going on in the Oculus Quest. So I could watch my husband play BoxVR and Racket Fury. However, the picture on the TV is so tiny that it just wasn't worth it. I have a 65 inch TV and the picture from Oculus Quest was maybe 8x8. There's an icon for zooming in on the tiny screen, but clicking it will restart the Oculus app and take you back to the Oculus home screen. no casting Pressing the casting screen again does nothing.

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Approximately
