It would be nice to wake up with a Samsung update and have Samsung Dex services. I would settle for dex pc. I'm just experimenting with files..

Hello, I need to mirror the note 8 screen to my win7 PC (that doesen't have an HDMI input).
I've installed trhe samsung USB drivers on my PC, I've installed samsung sidesync 3.0 on both the PC and the note, I start sidesync on the PC, I connect the tablet via USB but when I start sidesync on the tablet it look for the PC but it doesen't find it.
The Same if I start sidesync on the PC and I ask him to find the tablet via USB, it doesen't find it. .
Any suggestion is welcome-
Thanks
Can't get sidesync to work either. Dunno if it requires KITKAT (which I don't want since that will limit write permissions to my external SD card unless rooted) I use other apps though.
1) There's mirror op presenter. Free for 5 min per use (trial) then you have to re-connect. Good thing about mirror op is that it's not limited to a pc. with mirror op on another android device or another android TV stick you can can virtually screen cast to anything particularly documents and ppt.
2) If its just a power point, wps office is another option.
3) There is the option to get a chromecast which uses native android screen mirroring.
Hope these options help.
I have my own question about sidesync though. I hope someone can advise me. I read here:
http://www.cnet.com/news/samsung-galaxy-tab-s-sidesync-takes-calls-on-tablets/
that the galaxy tab S can mirror the S5 screen as a miniwindow or app. I downloaded the sidesync and screen mirroring app from the galaxy app store (which obviously don't work even for PC) so these probably won't let me mirror the S5 screen to my note 8. Has anyone tried portiong the tab S sidesync app to the note 8 so we can mirror the s5 screen to the note 8? Here's my planned set up or use:
1) At a conference/convention/lecture
2) S5 on a small handheld tripod fixed on screen/presentation.
3) taking down noted on the Note 8.
4) S5 screen mirrored.
5) When there's a chunk of works I need to quickly take a picture of and attach to notes I just tap on the S5 miniwondow on the note 8, take a picture and drag and drop to the note 8.
Or do any of you have anyother suggestions for this usage scenario? Note 8 I believe is still the best note taking device in terms of screen real estate and size but the camera is well...just not as good as the S5. Any advice would be nice. Thanks. More power to the forums.
Hello Everyone,
So Galaxy Tab S4 has this Dex Mode in Advanced Settings where you can run Dex in the tab itself without an external monitor. I was wondering if this is achievable in the Galaxy/Note phones also where you can run in Dex mode alone without a monitor hooked up. I have a Unlocked Note 8. Not sure if this is a software or hardware lock. Tab S4 has same hardware specs as a Note 8. So I was wondering if anyone has thought about how this can be achieved. Any thoughts/ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Hi ya,
I've found that I can use DEX mode on my TV, without connecting my USB/HDMI cable, even though Samsung doesn't allow Screen Mirroring while in DEX mode !!
This guide is for Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 - I presume it also works on the Tab S5e and Tab S6, though, I haven't tested either of those.
Prerequisites
Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 [or Tab S5e/S6??]
TV or Monitor with Android TV built-in, or Android TV box connected, or Google Chromecast connected
WiFi network to which your Tab and TV/Chromecast are connected
App 'Google Home' installed on your Galaxy Tab
At least one functional finger or ability to use S pen
Set-up
If not already done so, sign-in to your Google account in both the 'Google Home' app on your Galaxy Tab; and on your Android TV/Chromecast
If not already done so, in the 'Google Home' app, add your Android TV/Chromecast
Activation
If not already done so, launch DEX mode on your Galaxy Tab
Open the 'Google Home' app from the app draw [or taskbar if it's already running]
Tap on your Android TV/Chromecast device and select 'Cast my screen'
Optional
Connect Wired/Wireless Mouse and/or Keyboard to your Galaxy Tab
On the Galaxy Tab, turn brightness to minimum, or even use a brightness app to set brightness to below minimum
Culmination
Do stuff
Marvel in awe at the ingenuity, and possibilities
Say something nice to someone that you care about
Thanks, I hope you enjoy

No, it's only screen mirroring when using this method
Sad. However, when in dev settings force experimental desktop is checked, I get a wireless Stock-Android Desktop Mode, with lots of lag on the mouse.
But this seems fixable :-o
I guess it's a different story now for the devices with oneui2.5 which got the wireless dex
connect chromecast monitor/tv
connect phone with chromecast
connect keyb/mouse
start dex
enjoy
is that it?
I think it needs miracast not chromecast

I can Dex from a Samsung 10e to a Samsung 6 series NU6900 without wifi or a hotspot sounds too good be true
Hi All
I have a MacBook Air (yes I know) saw the light with the note 10 and wanted to get android over iPhone.
Anyway I can not for the life if me get the MacBook Air or my husbands windows 7 machine to recognise the phone. If plugged in it gives it power but won't pop up to recognise device on either machine...
I spoke to Samsung but they were next to useless about it... any advise on how I can get this working before I end up back with icrap!
Thanks
hello. I have also had this problem since the update to Android 10 and the Dex does not work.

I've got the same problem. Android 10+ and Dex(Windows 10,) does not work.
I can add, that originally, when Note 10+ launched last year , My Note 10 + (Android 9) /Dex (Windows 10) worked flawlessly.
If i connected my device to my Windows 10 laptop Dex would launch automatically, time and again.!
However lately, i think last 2 updates, to Dex,
it just really got worse. .
However,
If i connect to a tv monitor, Dex works 100 %.
No issues.
Further, Windows (Microsoft) My Phone Companion, always
had some errors. Now it working Fine.!
Point i want to make is,
If you watched, the live Samsung launch of Note 10 ((last year), Microsoft and Samsung
really" laid it on" regarding Microsoft and Samsung working together re Dex . The potential Dex had etc.
Now two big companies, with loads of experience,
cannot get it right.?
it seems to me they have been "working backwards" ?
Dex in General in its present state, errors, not launching etc, is useless for me.
Hello guys!
Sorry for any wrong word, not Native American here.
Well, researching on internet, I found a Samsung DeX website, where u can download a APP (for Mac) or EXE (for Windows) to use a Dex mode inside a PC screen (or Mac)
Requirements: Android 10 and a Dex capable device.
Tried to install the Dex on Macbook with Catalina OS (install run fine, without asking for Dev Guru thing). Restart the Mac, and the system can't detect the Tablet.
Anyone tried this too? Any clue?
afaik it only works with S-series phones running Android 10.
I have a S10 with the Dex application installed on Win10 : start the program, connect the phone and voila, Dex running.
When connecting my TAB S4 (835), nothing happens ...

Thank you Marcher for the test. Well, let's wait. Maybe someone discover how to crack this or Sammy give us this ability.
Following. I have the same issue. I don’t get the MacBook recognises my Samsung Galaxy Tab Active Pro using Samsung Dex. It does recognise the device using Android File Transfer for instance, instead. I have tried installing and te installing both softwares.
The Samsung Chat Support told me I need to buy the Samsung Dex cable, but as far as I know it is an USB-C to HDMI cable, so the connection would not be so “clean”. Actually I have seen Samsung Dex devices working on MacBooks without such a cable.
It runs Android 9 (it will run Android 10 on September) and I have heard that could be the issue (although I don’t think so).
May we need to use a special cable?

Hello! I tried with the original charger cable, with a second hand cable, with a USB-C to USB-C (MacBook Pro 2018 with 4 USB C ports) and nothing. My TAB runs Android 10. I use the TAB to take notes on meetings and lawyer school, so, the possibility to use on MAC to sync will be great. Tried to use Evernote, Onenote, etc., but the Samsung Notes it's more organized.
I think it's a string thing inside the Dex app. Like on detection, change some string, etc.
Let's wait for Sammt or some XDA "Einstein" to help us.
Samsung support answered me on twitter: the ability to run Samsung DeX on PC it's only for S Series. No plans to run on Tablets. Too bad. Thanks guys! Let's wait if some genius solve this to us!
Cya!
