Using the Samsung keyboard, when I place the Tab S4 in the keyboard groove it automatically goes into Dex mode which is good. But when I go back to portrait mode the tablet stays in Dex mode until I go into Settings to turn off Dex mode. Is there any way to have the Tab S4 automatically exit Dex mode after going back to Portrait mode?
If there is, I haven't found it either. There's an option to disable automatic DeX mode when you attach the cover (which I did, since sometimes I don't want it), but I haven't seen the opposite.
Looking for the same functionality, it seems Samsung didn't think this feature through. Why would you keep DeX mode without the keyboard?

I agree. Even an icon on the desktop you could click to toggle Dex or not Dex would be useful.

There is an icon in the quick launch menu that you pull down or the up arrow in the Dex task bar. That is what I use to toggle back and forth.

I keep getting either the clock program auto launching when I put it into dock mode.
I deleted it then another app starts in dock mode. I don't want to delete my tune app though.
How do I stop the auto launch in dock mode?
GOD THAT IS SO ANNOYING....
I feel stupid, but for the life of me, i can't find car mode. I'm trimming Nova Launcher. Would that affect it?
If you mean the car mode that is inbuilt on other note 4. Then it doesn't exist on AT&T note 4. AT&T has disabled it.

Download a car mode app like Car Home Ultra then it will ask you if you want it to be default app meaning default for car mode. Click accept. In car home ultra settings look for a setting in start up options i think that says well make the home button your main button and i always have my setting for keep display on checked and apply settings for all apps. But if you click clear or uninstall car mode a bug of some sort gets rid of car mode entirely until a master reset

Actually, I do have Car Home Ultra, and it is a great app. But I find that it does not work on my NOte 4 with the Home button. I did download their patch app for that, but it appears that it wants to make it Home all the time. Although when it popped up the usual selection of things for selecthing the Home app, I didn't select it, because I was afraid it would override Nova when Car Home ULtra is not running. Of course, I should give it a try. I can always delete defaults on it.
I use Car Home Ultra but despite setting it to always default as the car mode home, whenever I press home button after opening it it brings up list of apps to open including Android Auto that isn't installed. If I select CHU as always it will then work fine until I next close & open then I get same again
Any advice or anyone else seeing this?

I do not have this issue.
I told it to always use Car Home and it does.
I really hate the car mode in 7.1 btw.
Why in the world did they remove the recents button. ugh.
And I dislike that I cannot hide the "car mode" from the pulldown.
Cannot wait till Xposed is up and running so I can mod these things to work better.
So when you connect to an external screen and use DeX you can adjust the screen resolution via DeX setting
However when using DeX on the tablet only that options is greyed out.
Anyone know a way around this? Would love some more screen space in DeX
Thanks
so found that adjusting the "minimum width" in developer options adjust the DPI in both normal mode and Dex mode.
Now, if i was in Dex and adjusted this setting it did some funky things (such as setting not saving, or not displaying the value correctly). but adjust in normal mode and then switching over to dex seems the most stable.
overall, works well and seems to stick even after restart.

Does that make everything smaller? But it's already so small on Tab S4
I tried it on note 9 , nothing change on dex, but the phone element get samller
I'm messing around with an app called Automate to try and create an automatic action to launch Dex when my Bluetooth keyboard is connected. It looks like I would need a command to actually launch Dex. I downloaded Quick Shortcut Maker to see if I could make a shortcut to do this but out of the options it has for Dex, none will do it as far as I can tell. So I am trying to figure out how Dex launches from the Quick Settings Panel, and use that method instead. Anyone have any luck with this?
Try and see how the other Quick Panel buttons work. Figure out how to turn Wifi on/off; Auto-rotation on/off. The flashlight would be a good one, too, since it's primarily only in the Quick Tile.
I have the Samsung keyboard, so there are the connectors on the side of the keyboard that when the case/table are connected controls turning Dex on and off.
