Thanks for the feedback!

I think that if most desktop browsers support a feature then I can look to add it.

In the address bar I decided to let the system handle that context menu, as a common text input box in apps (though not in the web page area) will show a common text management context menu.

Once I have introduced some of the other high priority bug fixes, I may see if I can recreate most of those functions in the context menu and then add features such as 'paste & go' as I too find that to be a useful feature when navigating exclusively using mouse input.

I've had several people complaining about the upgrade option expecting me to spend loads of time on this for free and also while not selling their data to Google... (which I don't do by the way unlike many other browsers)

I mean seriously do people honestly go to work every day and expect to die of starvation too for doing all of their work for free...

I try to provide a full desktop experience for free and only charge for the bookmarks bar and find in page features to support the development of this whole project at the lowest price point that Google will allow me to charge for an in app purchase).

Also some seem to think that I have hundreds of developers working on this much like Google's Chrome team. This is just me and the project was only started a week before new years day...

Currently the new mobile experience is still flakey but it is designed to try and make it easier to continue between phone and DeX mode.

At the moment as I'm just one developer, I try to take the approach of using the browser continously myself and as I spot bugs that are annoying I try to fix them.

Some of those bugs required extensive development time, and often I find it good practice to sometimes put the time consuming things to one side for a day or two to focus on other issues to keep the enthusiasm for development of this project up. With those offensive comments I have received, if the apps progress was moving along slowly I may have just lost all interest in this project,

but I try to continue hoping that some users will understand that apps don't just magically appear fully finished and completely free on the app store.

I made a promise to myself a few years ago that I will never use ads in my apps, so that is why I use a one off fee for my app instead of filling your screen with ads.

Anyway sorry I just wanted to get that off my chest...

There are others that appreciate all your work.

But...as always the happy ones are the quiet ones.

Well... Let me escape the silence and say a Big Thank You!
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] SmilerOnline:
And thank you for your support :) I hope to improve DeX for respectable users like you guys :)

Hi, can you recommend HDMI-VGA adapter which you use and is working fine?

I tried one but unfortunately doesn't work.

I checked my USB-C to HDMI adapter and with HDMI-HDMI cable is all good.

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] SmilerOnline:
I'm not sure as I haven't tried VGA with DeX since the S8 and I don't remember that one.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] pimikiel:
I am using a no name cheap one with DeX station and Wofalo3 and it's working fine.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] SmilerOnline:
I think that I remember that the biggest problem was that the display had to support it, some did but many didn't...
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] Motawa88:
Android Pie kinda broke Dex for me.

I like to play games and emulators on dex but there is a very big problem with one ui update.

As soon as my phones display is off, the analog stick and D pad of bluetooth or usb controllers stop working.

I use the original dex dock and never had these problems on Oreo.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] p33l05:
for me Pie fixed a lot of the issues I had with bluetooth keyboards on Note 9 running oreo. Using HDMI to USB-C rather than the dex dock.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] SmilerOnline:
This bug is the reason for the dual screen game mode fix in desktop hub.

It tries to work around the problem by showing a black image on the phone screen and stopping the phone screen from turning off until you tap the image to disable it.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] Motawa88:
Desktop hub ix doesnt work. Nothing happens.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] r8dooo:
Great news with one ui on my note 8 dockless DeX is enabled
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] SmilerOnline:
You have to turn the phone screen on before you start it.

Another delay announced for Mirabook (latest backer update) with production looking to start in March. Reading between the lines of the financial struggles of the MiraXess team so far, neither Samsung/Huawei appear interested in investing in mobile convergence computing beyond providing access to IP for what would be pocket change for them to keep MiraXess afloat to deliver their dream. They've been thrown a financial lifeline by one of the Indiegogo backers.

Contradictory signals from Samsung - invest in Linux on DeX but watch on the sidelines as the only realistic (so far) lapdock option hovers over the project success/failure tipping point. It is possible that Samsung/Huawei are developing one of their own but large companies tend to take over smaller companies and IP to short-circuit the product development/delivery cycle. No evidence that either strategy is in play.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] SmilerOnline:
With the recent news that all Android Q devices may have a desktop mode, I'm sure Miraxess will get more support later this year:)

Desktop Browser

Hi SmilerOnline,

The latest Desktop Browser is becoming a very impressive and pretty beast with features rolling in thick and fast; becoming a real contender as a daily driver with each iteration. Highlighting text works properly unlike Samsung Internet browser and more impressively, you've managed to provide support for the much neglected middle mouse button! I've never encountered any Android/DeX app supporting it so all credit to you, sir!

Switching to page zooming with the middle button/scroll wheel, I find that the vertical and horizontal scroll bars appear/disappear too quickly to adjust the viewport (I like to have the browser occupy one half of my display rather than fully expanded). While vertical scrolling is done with the scroll wheel, horizontal scrolling requires to zoom out/back in and quickly move to catch the bottom horizontal scroll bar before it disappears. Can you increase the time out or add mouse window edge detection to display the scroll bars, please?

I'd also like to request that the middle mouse button be configurable for other functions within the setting menu like entering/leaving full screen mode, allowing the back button to resume page navigation duties. Beautiful!
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] SmilerOnline:
Thanks for the detailed feedback, my university submission is on Thursday, so bare with me, also I will probably take some time just to celebrate that with a few friends and family, though I will get back to adding further improvements to the browser.

**NOTE to all

Samsung DeX on the Note 9 and the new Pie update on other phones suffers from a broken window manager, this means that positioning windows and automatically going into fullscreen immersive mode when a video is playing is not quite possible, also I would have liked to have made the browsers settings screen fill the vertical screen space but share the width of a phone screen to display kind of like a side bar.

Some users may have noticed that the Desktop Hub start menu's positioning is not quite right because of this. I really wish that I could fix this but Samsungs framework team are not listening to me. Hopefully Samsung will switch to Android Q's desktop framework and then I assume that these bugs will go away and I won't have to wait for the ignorant DeX framework developers to implement a fix... I have been requesting this fix since August, so it is clear that they are not acknowloging this issue. The only thing that I can do is ask that the DeX community notifies Samsung of the Window sizing/positioning bugs and the controller bug that affects dual screen DeX mode on the Note 9 and Android Pie version of DeX for other devices, causing non-binary input types such as analog sticks to not repond to input.

Seriously Samsung needs to stop breaking this, or just let Google handle all of this stuff and keep the current DeX framework team well away from the Google desktop framework.

In Samsung Dex is possibile resize the windows of remote desktop? Now I have curved monitor 37 Samsung 3440x1440, very best resolution for samsung dex, but RD is only full screen, I try to resize by Dex Max but the mouse doesn't work so much. Now the only very best solution for RD is full screen, but is a waste for 3440x1440.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] p33l05:
unfortunately it is limited by the resolution of DeX 1920x1080 in most situations (some monitors are supposed to support WQHD)
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] fnd70:
The monitor resolution is ok and Dex, the Note 9 Android Pie works to QWHD. But the problem is Microsoft Remote Desktop, that not work in multiwindows, but only full screen.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] SC07 TP2:
What version of Android are you running? What remote desktop software are you using - Citrix, VMware Horizon, Microsoft remote desktop?

HerpToTheDerp might be able to answer this one for Citrix and a 1440p/UWQHD screen.

EDIT: Sorry - just seen your most recent post which answers the above.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] fnd70:
Hi,

I have follow you experience and I bought a Samsung 32 curved UWQHD the best experience for Dex, but I have a problem with Remote Desktop that work only full screen. Have you solve it? The Experience is better with Citrix that RD? What about Citrix?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] HerpToTheDerp:
I think Remote Desktop has a limited resolution on Dex as mentioned previously. Citrix has no issues resizing to UWQHD however Citrix on Dex has some broken shortcut keys in this beta. Ex. Alt tab uses the dex's alt tab same with the windows key on a keyboard. Dex is by no means a fully fleshed out feature yet.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] fnd70:
Hi

Do you work with Citrix or have you abandoned to use Windows by Dex?

Where can I found a guide for install Citrix and try it with my remote PC?

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] HerpToTheDerp:
We still use Citrix at our company.

I don't know how you'd work with Citrix as a consumer. You'd have to do some research.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] Diaconescu_Tiberiu:
My Android Pie (for Note 9) finally arrived. Should i upgrade or not? I depend heavily on Samsung Dex.... it's basically my work "laptop"
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] fnd70:
I read so happy that other people work by Dex.

Now, Android Pie is ok for Dex, specially for monitor resolution, keyboard layout.

Two months ago from Mac, I tried to work only with Dex, now I work only with it. Of course itisn't a Mac, but to have only in one is best for me, with many Android App specially Androidsearch I work so right.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] SC07 TP2:
Android Pie hasn't arrived for the Note8 (yet) but I'm also in two minds on taking it because DeX is my main computing environment at home. Other than improved battery controls (I use Pie Control to do away with my bottom navigation bar so don't need Pie's gesture control), I can't see any significant benefits for me by adopting Pie on my phone. One UI appears underwhelming and third party apps will do what they want anyway. Bad points from feedback so far is that it breaks DeX in small, annoying ways (e.g. Desktop Hub and full-screen Netflix) and the newer OS will inevitably run slower on my older hardware.

Good points - for those with 2K or even ultra-wide displays would appreciate the new display resolution support, those with compatible USB-C to HDMI adaptors can switch to DeX through software and Pie also enables the phone screen as a secondary live (Android touchscreen) display next to your DeX monitor (not extended desktop though).

The big disadvantage to staying with Oreo would be that your device would be stuck on January 2019's security update, although Google Play Services will continue to be updated independently and protect your device from malicious apps.

Given you can't reverse an OS upgrade, better the devil you know than the devil you don't?

Not much happening on Linux on DeX land either (XDA Linux on Dex thread). SmilerOnline is doing more to deliver a working converged computing experience than the multi-billion US$ Samsung at this point in time!
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] gpmg762:
Has anyone updated s8+ to official pie and tried dex without the dock or pad?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] r8dooo:
Yes works fine with just cable
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] kbarni:
I confirm too :good:

Finally Dex begins to work as it should have been at the beginning. Now we only need Linux on Dex for S8...
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] SmilerOnline:
Due to the lack of a dedicated Samsung DeX section for all devices here on XDA, I'd like to request that more users try to use the following Reddit forum/group:

https://www.reddit.com/r/SamsungDex/
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] WelshnThirsty:
Hi boys,

I've posted this on the Note 8 forum as well, but there seems to be more activity here.

Looking for help, ever since the upgrade to pie, DeX loads, but after a short time, between 30 seconds and 7 minutes, the screen has multicolored pixels, turns black and displays the notice No Signal.

I've tried putting it in DND mode, switching off location, WiFi, anything that might interfere, same result.

On the phone, still connected to the DeX station, switch to screen mirroring, that shows up, then back to DeX, same thing, loses signal after a short while.

Did a factory reset, but loaded everything back from Smartswitch. Same problem.

Factory reset again, loaded Nordvpn, Google calendar & keep along with WhatsApp Plus. Everything else from the rom. I've reinstalled my phone and message data. Same problem.

Changed the HDMI cable, same problem.

Changed the power supply to Note Pro 12.2 charger. Same problem.

DeX station is OEM Samsung, been using it on Oreo for the past 8 months without a problem.

Any solutions? Am I missing a trick? All help gratefully accepted.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] SC07 TP2:
Did this happen immediately after upgrading to Pie or a short while after? Switch the Note8 into screen mirroring mode and leave it there - does it do the same thing after a while? Does the fan on the DeX docking station work and do you ever hear it working?

Considering everything you've done and depending on your answers to the above questions, it does sound awfully like instability within the DeX docking station video hardware that is triggered by heat e.g. a dry solder joint.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] gpmg762:
Maybe reflash Pie or Oreo to see if it helps.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] WelshnThirsty:
It happened straight after the update.

I've not tried it in screen mirroring mode for any length of time, but will today.

The fan does work on the docking station.

Galaxy S9+ on Android 9 Pie

I have the Samsung DeX Pad (EE-M5100TBEGUS) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B079TL2TGY/

I also have the TOPOINT USB C to HDMI Adapter for Samsung DeX https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07DZYLVKN/

Both of these doc solutions work fine with the S9+. I've tried other USB-C to HDMI cables, as well as a straight through USB-C to USB-C cables. Android 9 has enabled DeX support for pretty much everything I've tried. If you plug the Samsung USB-C power adapter into the DeX Pad or TOPOINT device, you get the larger screen resolutions choices for DeX.

I have 2 large 38" monitors.

Dell U3818DW

LG 38UC99-W

The maximum resolution for these monitors is 21:9 format @ 3840 x 1600 pixels. These are the exact same LCD display, just slightly different packaging between LG and Dell.

When I use the Samsung DeX Pad on the LG 38UC99-W, I get a 3440 x 1440 display resolution on DeX.

If I use the exact same doc and cables with the Dell U3818DW, I only get WQXGA 2560 X 1600. For some reason, the 3440 x 1440 option is greyed out.

#1 Has anyone ever used a DeX device @ 3840 x 1600?

#2 Why the heck would there be a difference between the Dell and LG monitors. It seems very odd that I can't select 3440 X 1440 on the Dell?

#3 Is there any hope that my soon-to-be Galaxy S10+ 1TB/12GB will give me full resolution support of 3840 x 1600 on DeX?

#4 Are there any apps or hacks that will enable the greyed out resolutions or hidden resolutions?

It would be nice if the mods here would start a dedicated DeX area.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] WelshnThirsty:
Hi all,

After clearing the cache, DeX is now working fine again!

Thanks for all the help and suggestions.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] pimikiel:
I was so exited about Pie's new feature to use more aspect ratios on DeX than 16:9, and getting Pie to S8.

I am seeing other youtubers, and even here, resolution screens settings on their galaxy devices and there are more -grayed out but still- options and sections there for resolutions and aspect ratios.

My resolution settings looks like this (attachment). Is this because I've never connected to any other aspect ratio displays after an update or S8 regardless of Pie still cant display any other aspect ratios? Or even worse, my sideloaded OTA zip update went wrong :eek: (I couldn't wait)?

And what are requirements for 1440p to work?

Do I need Power Delivery charger, or Adaptive Fast Charging will do?

Do I need Samsung display?

Do I have to use Dex? or DeX pad?

Do I need HDMI to DisplayPort adapter?

I am checking If i am using High Speed HDMI cable before trying to 4K display.

Please help because I'm frustrated about this resolution things. WQHD never worked for me.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] pimikiel:
So I've been at Samsung store and I've checked if other s8 have the same problem as mine and it does. For older flag ships there is no other resolutions than 16:9 unfortunately regardless of pie or not. I still don't know how to enable 1440p.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] subjectdenied:
had the same problem, I had a note8 with the first dex dock, and it worked with 1440p. then I switched to note9 and tried it without any dock, and never was able to get a resolution higher than 1080p. tried different cables, and hubs but none of these did change anything. I then bought the dex pad, and got 1440p back
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] pimikiel:
But, DeX station box says UHD 4K HDMI.... I don't get it.

I'm having an issue using Samsung Dex on my Note 9 with Android Pie, when I select an app that's in a folder on my desktop, the app opens but the folder doesn't close, I have to click outside the folder for it to close, same thing happens when I go to the app screen and launch an app, the app opens in the background behind the app screen.

I have exactly the same problem using Google Maps on Dex...I can't figure out a way to zoom out, it zooms in when clicking either the left or right mouse button multiple times, but no way to zoom out!

IIRC you double click, you don't release the button after the second click and you drag up/down to zoom in and out (that is click, click and drag)

https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/samsung-electronics-co-ltd/samsung-dex/

And i was wondering is there a way for me (unrooted user) to download and install the latest version of the Dex? Thanks in advance
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] pimikiel:
DeX mode or dex interface will be in a boot loop. Nothing dangerous but you need to update more than just an dex app. To launch dex then. I gave up.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] shockngage:
sounds dangerous to me.. lol :crying:
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] pimikiel:
If you do that just remove your galaxy from dex and restore/reinstall dex app using settings to "fabric" state [that means to last update version]. DeX bootloop is gone
