I got a USB hub, with 3 USB 3.0 ports and an HDMI port, so I could connect a keyboard, mouse and external display to the phone, using it as a computer when at my desk.
But now whenever I start using it, the external display will blank almost every second.. sometimes it will go into sleep mode. Sometimes it's so bad that I have to disconnect the HDMI to get it back. the USB Hub is powered externally.

Does this happen to anyone else? Does anyone have a clue why this might be happening?
It makes it really frustrating to use.
ps - it seems like every time it writes anything to the external display, it blanks until its done. And for some reason sometimes it just goes into power-saving.
Not all docks are compatible. Try using a Pine dock and see if the issue clears up. I also have another brand of dock and it doesn't work that well. The display is intermittenet at best.
