DeX over HDMI only interacts with phone, not monitor - Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers

Using DeX via HDMI on my Note 10+ 5G, when I either use my phone as a touchpad or use a BT keyboard with trackpad, the cursor only shows up on the phone's screen, not the DeX session on the monitor. The BT keyboard also only affects the phone, not the DeX desktop.
Using the S-pen is even weirder. It does affect the DeX session, but "secretly" --- the cursor doesn't appear on the monitor, but pen taps do operate controls on the monitor.
Oddly, this worked perfectly fine until a couple of days ago. [I had a DeX via USB to PC session lock up the phone
I had to VolDown and Power to reboot, whereupon the phone had forgotten all of my wifi credentials (but otherwise seemed ok). Maybe unrelated...]
Am I missing a setting somewhere?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
It's always that thing you think to try 30 seconds after you post a request for help that works....
For future reference, if anybody else has this happen, on a hunch thinking that maybe some toggle had gotten toggled but not untoggled when it crashed the last time, I just reconnected my phone to the PC via USB, waited for DeX to activate on the PC, and then disconnected it, and that restored the proper functionality.

[Q] Not Enough OTG USB Power OUT

Ive been trying to get an Wireless Xbox 360 controller working on my GNex. If i plug in the wireless receiver it stays off unless i hold the sync, but turns off after a few seconds. One time i rebooted with it plugged in and i was able to navigate the home screen for a bit then it died. I tried plugging it into a powered USB Hub and it worked great and I was able to play several levels of Dead Trigger with no issues.
It seems like the usb port isn't putting out enough power for this.
HDMI over MHL also flickers and cuts out frequently, is this also do to some weird power fluctuation? I always turn off LTE before i use MHL as i read that that interfere but that doesn't fix it.
Anyone know about these two problems? Are they related as i suspect? Is my device just defective?

USB OTG Cable + USB Mouse - Idle power down issue

Hello, I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 (I467M - Telus LTE). I have a OTG USB Host Cable and I've been trying to use a USB mouse with this tablet but it seems to be having an issue with the tablet powering down the USB mouse when it is idle for more than 3 seconds, causing it to disconnect. After clicking a button on the mouse it powers on and after a 2 second delay reconnects and functions normal until I leave it idle to start the process over again.
I do not want the USB mouse or keyboards(Tried aswell) to disconnect if left idle. It takes too long to reconnect and is quite annoying when your not consistently typing or using a mouse.
I'm wondering if this is a API issue with the usb drivers on the device or if this is a setting that can be tweaked.
Thanks for your help! (Btw the devices all work fine and dont idle out on my samsung galaxy s3 from telus. (I747))

HELP! Controller and keyboard won't work!

So here's the deal. I turn on ouya, try to turn on controller, lights blink but it never connects. It just stated this out of the blue. I can use a usb keyboard and USB mouse to move around the launcher but can't select anything such as settings with them. I switched batteries out with fresh batteries and pushed them in snug. I've tried several reboots, I've tried turning it on and off without the USB devices plugged in. The date and time are all jacked up on it now and there's nothing I can do to force it to connect or select a menu. I got the controller to pair over Bluetooth with my phone, but I cant get the phone to find the ouya though. I have it rooted through wonderekin's method and the mod list installed along with a custom ouya launcher. But this problem just started today. No issues til now. Any help?

I've searched all over the web and can't find an issue like this where the controller just won't connect. Its driving me crazy. If I could just get the damn thing to factory reset I would try that, but the mouse, keyboard, and controller are all basically useless. I just get a launcher I can move around the main screen but cant relay any button presses via mouse and kb to select anything. I found some method involving a USB keyboard and pressing alt and systreq (print) button but it never worked. I think the thing just wouldn't recognize the button presses.

It happened to me few times. What I do is open ouya launcher, go to controller section of ouya settings and then long press the ouya black button until the two central leds are on (pairing mode), after few seconds the controller pair.
To move on the ouya launcher I use a logitech usb mouse and I'm able to click on menus.

PS4 controller to Fire Tv?

is this possible to use it over bluetooth and if so how is it done?
go to the 'pair controllers' screen, hold share and the ps button for 5 seconds(or until it flashes 2 then 2 back and forth) it'll show up. I had problems with mine timing out at first, and square is accept and x is back, so that's weird. it's usable on emulators. if it times out on you you can try plugging it into a phone charger and pairing it while it's plugged into a phone charger. I did that both times I paired mine, so maybe it helped?
I got this to work using carbanm's method. It's fine in the menus, despite the buttons being a little out of order, and it works well for simple games like Sonic. I tried playing Sev Zero and GTA:SA with it though and it seems to be missing most of the button mapping, the triggers don't seem to function at all.

No picture/image from AFTV

No display from Fire TV
Background
The box was working perfectly.
I powered it off for a couple of weeks and when I attempted to use it again, it seems to power up, but there is no picture/menu/logo displayed.
Things I've tried so far:
1)Powered off and on again - no change. The light on front flashes normally and then stops flashing. No flickering/image on TV.
2)Pressed select "Select"+"Play" to reboot the box. I can see the LED go out and then come on again. No flickering/image on the TV.
3)Pressed "Up"+"Rewind" - I can see the LED on the AFTV change to orange and flashing for while, but again no image on the TV.
4)I can successfully ping the box from a PC.
5)I've disconnected all other HDMI cables from the TV and carried out all the tests above - no change.
6)I've disconnected the AFTV from the HDMI cable and replaced with a laptop - this works perfectly, I can use the TV from the laptop.
7)When the AFTV has gone to sleep/standby and the TV is switched off, pressing "SELECT" wakes up the AFTV and switches on the TV, but still nothing is displayed.
So it seems that the AFTV is functioning correctly and receiving commands from the remote, but it still refuses to display any image/picture/icon/menu, i.e. anything.
Any ideas? Something else I can try? Known problem? Can fixed by opening the box?
Thanks in advance
