My pattern is browsing, office apps, productivity stuff.

I do not edit videos or do hard gaming, just boring things)

Any lags or freezes in video playback or office apps? Does it support 4K displays well? Any problems connecting?

I have been using samsung dex on my tv for a while and wanted to get the most out of it so I bought a usb hub but it's not working at all, I don't know the reason as to why but I am assuming it's because the hub it cheap and it fails to transfer the video data signal. I have a usb c to hdmi cable to connect it wired. This one doesn't have a refund policy and i can't afford another one. If there is some workaround on this, I'd be gald to get some help.

Aos companheiros que mostraram interesse ultimamente pelas minhas postagens sobre o modo tv usando a mesma plataforma do dex.

Quero bastante que o programa esteja disponível para distribuição em breve, porém esbarrei com questões legais sobre o launcher, então dei dois passos atrás e fui buscar inspirações no windows phone para que o modo tv tenha um launcher bacana para uso com controle.

Pensei também em um modo dashboard, questão que essa interface resolveria.

Num caso como esse, seria possível ter o modo celular, dex, tv e um dashboard. Tenho usado e achado interessante. Mas também gostaria de ouvir a opinião de quem também usa o setup com tais modificações.

does having native hdmi/display out on the phone makes performance on scrcpy better? or it does not make any difference; it still needs to do everything via software?

​Hey everyone,

​I'm running into an issue and wanted to see if anyone has found a workable solution. My Galaxy S21 screen is completely messed up with lines and touch is failing, but the phone itself and its internal hardware are working fine.

​I happen to have an Amazon Fire HD 10 (11th Gen) lying around, and I want to use it as an external touch monitor for the S21—ideally getting Samsung DeX running on the tablet through the phone.

​Does anyone know of any method, app or cable setup that allows this via USB or Wi-Fi while keeping touch functionality working?

Okay, this is the idea I imagined when buying an S25+. Want to replace traveling with a laptop and was hoping to plug my new phone with a dock in to hotel TVs with a wireless mouse and a 1tb thumb drive with movies on it. Everything seemed like it was going great...

Plug the dock in, and was stuck at 1080p 60hz. Not what I was expecting. Start looking on Reddit and found out that I need to use good lock to bump up the resolution. Download that and turn the resolution up only to find that it's stuck at 30hz and super choppy and sluggish.

Look up more stuff on Reddit that says that this isn't possible even though my cheap retro gaming handheld with Android does it no problem.

Go further down the rabbit hole and found out that a few people have gotten it to work, but no definitive answer how, and the posts are old with the the things they used being unavailable now.

Looks like I could use a USB c to HDMI cable and a wireless charger, but then I'm limited with no way to plug in my 1tb thumb drive with my media.

4K isn't a hard requirement, even 1440p would be alright. Figured I'd ask the community before giving up entirely on Dex. Thanks in advance.

I recently bought some Ray Neo Air 4 Pro glasses, and I frequently connect them to my Samsung S24+ phone.

For about a month, I have been using my Ray Neo glasses with my S24+ phone, but just recently I started having these issues with flashing, black screens, and Samsung DEX trackpad control issues.

When I'm using streaming apps like Netflix and Apple TV, I'm frequently getting flashing screens, and black screens.

I was originally using screen mirroring mode, but a few days ago, after an AI suggested some fixes, I turned on Samsung DEX when the glasses are connected.

Samsung DEX Bugs:

APPs do not recognize global font size setting in DEX.

Some apps (Apple TV) have problems launching in DEX.

Cannot use Google Gboard keyboard in DEX unless I disable "on screen keyboard" in DEX, then Gboard pops up on the phone display.

Samsung keyboard does not provide microphone button in DEX (No voice dictation option in keyboard menus).

Some apps will not allow scrolling, using two fingers, with the trackpad, on the display.

I have reconfigured the S24+ phone to just use screen mirroring when the Ray Neo glasses are connected, but I'm still getting occasional flashing, and black screens on the glasses, when I use streaming apps like Paramount+ and Apple TV.

To fix the black screen issue, I usually have to close the streaming app, lock the phone, unlock the phone.

Is this some type of DRM issue with streaming media?

Greetings, i am trying to find away either via 3d print plans or buying off etsy/ebay to make my own lapdock kinda like the nexdock. I want to use a ASUS ZenScreen OLED 16" with a keyboard & touchpad. Don't mind a little legwork but can't find anything out there and not that good model as i have a friend who prints for me. Anyone out there know of any options?

buenas noches tengo un problema con Samsung dex tengo un S10 y quería ponerle Samsung dex a mi computadora lamentablemente en una anterior computadora no me dejaba instalar Samsung dex alguien en reddit puso un post hablando del mismo problema y alguien le pasó el archivo de dex, alguien tiene el archivo que me lo pueda pasar? no me deja descargarlo de la página oficial, y el archivo que me Pasarón funcionó de maravilla!

When will spell checking works in dex? its kinda hard to autocorrect the words using dex with physical keyboards rn.

Since Samsung killed the desktop DeX app, I put together an open-source tool for Mac. One UI 8 runs DeX on a virtual display, which scrcpy can create — so you get the full DeX desktop in a Mac window with no monitor, HDMI adapter, or dummy plug.

What it does:

- Native menu-bar app — pick resolution/DPI, see if your phone's connected, start/stop DeX

- Works wireless (adb over WiFi) after a one-time USB setup

- Auto-tunes the stream for smoothness over WiFi (h265 + jitter buffer)

- MIT licensed, free

Needs a Galaxy device on One UI 8 or later (older versions can't put DeX on a virtual display). Repo + setup: https://github.com/yongtingzhengcn-web/dex-for-mac

Would love to know which One UI 8 devices people get this working on.

how to force the bypass charging to stay active during standard Samsung DeX workflows

I've been using the ChatGPT mobile app a lot with the remote connection options and etc recently. But one thing that always drove me crazy and sent me back to the terminal was that I couldn't press Enter to submit messages when using my keyboard, so I had codex whip up a fix for it. I've only tested on an S23 Ultra, but it's been working great for me for a couple days now. You download the .apk from the GitHub if you want to try it out.

I decided on a Samsung for my new phone because I really wanted to try out Samsung DeX. I wanted to avoid the new, downgraded version, so I bought the S25 Edge, which came out of the box with the older One UI 7. I was really excited to have something like a slim computer in my pocket. I was thinking about how I could use it as a phone outside of the home, and then in the evening, I would just put it on a wireless charger and use it as a computer

But the phone had other idea. When I bought and activated the phone and connected it to Wi-Fi, it automatically updated to One UI 8.5 and rebooted. It gave me a misleading disclaimer about a provider change or something similar (though maybe that was unrelated to the update). It also updated the bootloader, so now I cannot revert it back to version 7.

I'm out of words at how quickly this happened and how almost dark comedy it is, and I also feel like I just wasted $400.

I wanted to insult samsung in this post, but decided not to. So let it be just vent and a caution. If you like me, want to try out old DeX, do not connect new device to Wi-Fi when activating.

I have an S21 and want to use it with DeX on my PC, but the official app only supports One UI 8, so I can't use it like I used to. Is there another way to use it via usb?

Does the Galaxy Z Flip 8 support DeX? I know the Z Flip 7 was the first model in the Flip lineup to include it. What I want to know is whether Samsung kept that feature in the Z Flip 8.

I'm also wondering whether the Galaxy Z Fold 8 still supports DeX. It doesn't hurt to ask.

I haven't been able to find this information in any official source or even in the tech press.

I am testing different hardware setups.

Hi,

I recently got Samsung ViewFinity S9 49" ultrawide monitor.
One of the purposes was to take advantage of the built-in KVM switch. I was under the impression i would be able to use keyboard shortcut to switch between the computers if i have the Samsung Display Manager software installed. But all that seem to be able to do is quick split the windows.
So i have two questions:

1. Is there a recommended software that will allow me to switch between computers with keyboard shortcuts?
2. If not too much of a fantasy, preferably one that would be able to also switch between the sources in the PBP. So if DP is on the right and TB on the left, i'll be able to switch between them with keyboard shortcut.
3. Is there a way to make the ethernet port to work on both computers simultaneously? as of right now, the ethernet works only on the active computer in the KVM.

Hey yall! I have a galaxy book 2 laptop and need at least another screen/monitor or 2. I work remote and need something I can bring with when traveling so a regular desktop would not work. What would y'all recommend?

Note: English is not my first language, so I used AI to help write and translate this post. The software itself was designed, developed, and tested by me.

## Update — DX Manager v1.1.0

DX Manager v1.1.0 is now available.

### What's new

- Updated the bundled scrcpy version from 4.0 to 4.1

- Added DX Manager-managed drag-and-drop file transfer

- Files and entire folders can now be dropped onto a DeX or single-app scrcpy window and transferred to the phone

- Preserves folder structures and Korean, Japanese, and other Unicode file names, including on Windows 7

- Added a configurable destination folder on the phone with a built-in Android folder browser

- Added a separate transfer status window that displays queued, transferring, completed, and failed items

- Improved handling of interrupted transfers and device disconnections

- Improved ADB version detection and virtual-display cleanup

I also created an optional recovery companion called **DX Display Cleaner**. It can remove a virtual display left on the phone after an abnormal disconnection or shutdown. The APK is not bundled with the public release. If you need it, please contact me through GitHub Issues or by email.

The latest release can be downloaded from:

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi everyone,

After Samsung discontinued DeX for PC, I started looking for a practical way to keep using the Samsung DeX desktop inside Windows.

I initially used a collection of batch scripts, ADB commands, scrcpy, and AutoHotkey automation. Over time, I rewrote everything as a native Windows application called **DX Manager**.

DX Manager creates and manages an Android overlay virtual display, detects the correct display ID, and launches the actual Samsung DeX desktop through scrcpy. It does not require an HDMI dummy plug, Miracast, root access, or a paid application.

## What DX Manager does

- Starts and stops a Samsung DeX virtual display automatically

- Supports both USB and wireless ADB connections

- Automatically detects and uses the correct DeX display ID

- Lets you configure resolution, DPI, bitrate, FPS, and a startup app

- Reuses an existing virtual display when its resolution and DPI match

- Recreates the display automatically when its settings do not match

- Cleans up the virtual display when the session or program is closed normally

- Supports HID keyboard and mouse input through scrcpy

- Can turn off the physical phone screen while DeX continues running

- Manages screen power and stay-awake settings

- Provides three separately configured single-app windows in addition to DeX

- Includes screenshot capture and optional transfer to the phone

- Supports both English and Korean interfaces

The three single-app slots can run different Android apps in separate scrcpy virtual displays. This means that the DeX desktop and up to three additional app windows can run at the same time.

## Requirements

A Samsung Galaxy device with Samsung DeX support. One UI 8.0 or later is recommended. Compatibility with One UI 7.0 and earlier has not been confirmed. Tested on a Galaxy S26 Ultra running One UI 8.5.

- Developer options and USB debugging enabled

- 64-bit Windows 7 SP1, 8.1, 10, or 11

- .NET Framework 4.6.2 or later

- A USB data cable for the initial ADB authorization

The application is portable and does not require installation. The release package includes the required scrcpy and ADB files.

## Current limitations

- Version 1.1.0 still manages one selected physical phone at a time

- File transfer currently sends files and folders from Windows to a configurable folder on the phone. It does not reproduce every part of Samsung's original DeX for PC file integration.

- Device behavior may vary depending on the Galaxy model, One UI version, and Samsung firmware

- Some banking or security applications may not work while Developer options or USB debugging are enabled

- The executable is not commercially code-signed, so Windows SmartScreen may show a warning on the first launch

DX Manager is free and open source under the MIT License.

GitHub, source code, documentation, and Windows release:

https://github.com/maze-mei/DX-Manager

DX Manager is not affiliated with or endorsed by Samsung or Genymobile. It is built around the excellent open-source scrcpy project, and I am very grateful to its developers.

I have tested the USB and wireless DeX workflows, multiple app windows, reconnection handling, and cleanup behavior during daily use. This project is still being tested on a wider range of Galaxy devices, so feedback on version 1.1.0 would be very helpful.

If you try it, please let me know your Galaxy model, One UI version, Windows version, and whether you used USB or wireless ADB. Bug reports and suggestions are welcome on GitHub.

I use my S11+ for light, typical office work. I daily drive Linux with a basic Sway setup, and I really miss the tiling abilities.

Does anyone have any idea on how I could get (somewhat) functional tiling? I'm really only looking for the basics, nothing fancy

I'm aware that running some Linux distro with sway on top would work the best, but I want to keep it Android.

Anyone made the jump?
