Does Samsung Pass really not work in landscape? I can unlock the tablet in landscape using biometrics but if I want to use Samsung Pass it seems I have to tilt the tablet temporarily to portrait? Also seems like you cant use it in Dex mode with Iris scanning. I dont have that issue on the Note 8 in Dex mode.
I am using the device with a keyboard case so it is more than a bit odd to do so if there is no workaround. I

I can still access the remote in the notification shade on my 8.4, but it'll only work for the last room I used and has a lot less buttons. I tried to use Peel Smart Remote which is what my Note 4 uses. However it won't install on the 8.4 and I had to side load it from APK Mirror. Sadly it won't work in landscape orientation, so you end up turning to use the remote and it stays in portrait mode.
The best I've found so far is ASmart Remote it's free, works with my devices, and works in landscape. The ads are a bit annoying, I wish I could pay to turn those off.

I've tried a quite a few remote apps and this one is also the one I kept and use.
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.
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
super annoying when I wanna go from keyboard to folded back mode... I don't see an option in the settings to configure this.
Damn I was going to write the same exact thing, I'm looking for a way to disable this as well. If the tab isnt locked (like when connected through samsung flow) then it's not that bad but if it could be prevented altogether I'd love that....
I love Air Command, use it to jot a quick not, or capture part of a screen and take notes on it... but what I dont like..
As soon as you enter DEX mode (I have the samsung keyboard case) air command goes away... no partial screen captures.
My wish... Air command worked in Dex mode, and while I am at it, that samsung notes either sync'd across devices to my chromebook and PC, or if I could change system note taking to app to something that does like Google Keep on MS Onenote.
Anyone have any workarounds for these same problems?
