So are you running the Android Nougat firmware on Exynos?

I'm using Oreo beta on Exynos, maybe the Oreo build is causing it to black screen.

*UPDATE*

I've just tested it on my Android-x86 (Nougat) laptop, and I can see that you just need to click 'add/remove programs' and navigate your devices directories to find an 'exe' file to run.

Just note that for now, you will need Windows on ARM/Windows RT apps until the upcoming release with x86 emulation support.

Unfortunately, it seems that it doesn't work on Oreo at the moment, I tried to create an account on the Wine HQ forums to let them know this, but I incorrectly answered the required questions too many times.

So could I just request that someone on here notifies them of the Oreo compatibility issue, even if you dont have Oreo yet, as it will be available to you soon!

https://forum.winehq.org/viewforum.php?f=2

p.s. I got steam running on my x86 laptop!

When the x86 emulation arrives, this will be great for DeX! :)

Which app are you using to access Windows 7?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] SC07 TP2:
There is a definite 'cool' factor seeing DeX running emulators and 'proper OSes'. For example, installing Debian noroot enables Android phones to run a full ARM based Debian Linux OS which works well with a large display/mouse/keyboard.

Unfortunately Debian noroot and this Windows WINE project run in sandboxes and can't access the storage volumes/files of our phones. If the applications/browser compatibility is there, it could access Cloud storage. We presume the forthcoming Linux on Galaxy will allow access to local storage/files/pictures/front camera for

SKype/fingerprint reader and secure storage even.

This raises an interesting question for me regarding what I want from convergence computing. Do I want to use the same Android phone apps while in desktop mode (DeX) or have the 'proper OS' and program experience acting on the same local storage/files? Referring to my picture of the NexDock on the left running Dex and Macbook Air running Linux on the right, what do we want to see when popping our Samsungs into the DeX dock/Mirabook; the desktop on the left or the desktop on the right?

Do we even have a choice? Enterprise computing is interested in Linux (connect to AD domains, access network drives, etc) but probably not DeX. The industry chose to reject the limited capability that was Windows Continuum which is now dead. As a world-class business, Samsung will want to chase the money that is Enterprise computing...
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] lestander01:
Well it's some to choose from. My English suck and type from phone atm.

But you have TeamViewer, LogMeIn, Remote DeskTop and Amazon WorkSpaces, last one AWS is a pay service.

But can try for free 1 month..

Will be testing all I can find, don't really need any windows, I have used my dex as main computer for about 3 months or more,

But still nice to know that if needed I have that option to..

The one I sent screenshots of was Aws. Just downloaded the app from G store, windows desktop for free. And filled the questions... no deb cards needed..

Didn't check the prices haha.. But working nights so will testing next week..

Just made a fast search on YouTube haven't look on them but will do when possible.

There are always going to be people out there that are sceptical about new technologies like this.

Just because other manufacturers previously failed I wouldn't assume that Samsung will fail too.

Samsung have built a good system with great potential and released it at the right time now that Android has evolved to support multi-window natively.

And with these additional advancedments that we have seen lately enabling better cross-platform capabilities to run x86/ARM code in either environment and soon nearly any OS frameworks apps on DeX, it just adds more reasons to have confidence in this technology.

Samsung was the first to provide a good package, yeah it needed a few small changes but there are apps fixing some of them.

And with all of the feedback that has been given to Samsung, I'm ever more confident that this time next year the experience will be more than satisfactory all-round.

The only big limitation is that Samsung hasn't yet provided us with an officially supported DeX lapdock.

When that arrives, we will have acces to all of our Android apps on a larger screen, Windows apps via Wine, Linux apps via Linux on Galaxy and the Wine group are working on an open source qemu x86 emulation tool to enable pretty much all apps to work on ARM devices like DeX.

So in the not too distant future when people ask the question "but can it play Crysis", the answer will be yes! ;)

To add to the list; VMware Horizon connection to my work virtual Win 10 environment works like a charm on Dex - no need at all for other (imperfect) solutions, like Vine. My S8+ Dex became my main PC, at home, at work, when travelling.

Indeed, a dedicated Dex laptop would make the picture complete!

one really annoying thing is that the window sizes dont safe after you launch dex again.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] bmszabo:
Indeed, restoring window sizes (and positions, open apps!) when plugging in would be a great improvement of Dex. Now it takes some time to restart apps, organize positions every time I plug in Dex.

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] methoddon1:
what do you mean when you say Organize positions..

I have about 12 most used apps down on the panel and they all there in the order I put them there..

I simply don't have any complaints or wishes to be honest.. Dex Hub and DEX Max concludes the experience for me.. simply love it.

I even tested few games after modding them with Dex Max (Asphalt 8, and few others) and it's blasting.

Sorry, I ment with positions that windows/apps I worked on would be nice to reopen when plugged in in the same position - icons on favorite position, desktop stay nicely in their place.

A question: I can get Motorola lapdock 500 at a very good price; does it work with Dex (and my S8+) in Dex mode? Anybody has tried it yet, any experience with it?

Thanks for any info on this..

Verstuurd vanaf mijn SM-G955F met Tapatalk
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] StardustGeass:
I remember somebody had done that..

The problem is it doesn't support HD, so the screen is badly blurred...

And also, doesn't support dex out of the box, you need to root your phone..

Hello all.

Does any one know if nex Dex Pad which will be launched with S9 will also be compatible with S8/S8+/Note8?

BR!

-------- EDIT ----------

I fund few sources claiming that it will be reverse compatible so I guess it should work.

Second thing I would like to see some solution similar to Dex Book. It would be awesome for me.....

You shouldn't need to mod the APK as that just disables any updates for the app.

Desktop Hubs 2018 'True Window' guide removes the resizing issues in near all apps.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] lestander01:
Okey, well did try it first without mod the apk, but I guess I didn't start Desktop Hub, need to check it... I know it has been working with other apps with just DH..

But was so tired when messing with it..

But will check.

Tanks for info.

Yoy know any way to change Resolution in Samsung internet browser when watch ex. Youtube max is like 720p, and i dont like the youtube app because when howering the mouse over vid no controll shows, and need to click and then movie paus.....

wonder if there some "under meny" to active it, was testing "Edge" browser, and no probs to get high res... but same as youtube app and chrome not show controlls when hover above vid..

And i think Sam Internet is absolut the best browser when use dex...

Or have i missed some better??

You need to contact the developers of Samsung Internet.

I loathe the official YouTube app - it doesn't work properly within DeX in non-full screen mode, you can't read the comments easily while video is playing as well as needing to be logged in. Have a look at SkyTube (https://f-droid.org/packages/free.rm.skytube.oss/) which has a preference setting to select a preferred video resolution (including 1080p), home page configuration and a much better GUI. No ads at the start/middle of videos and open source to boot.

You can import your subscriptions through the Backups option (rename the YouTube downloaded subscription .bin file to .xml first before importing).

SkyTube Extra (downloadable from their website at http://skytube-app.com brings extra features like downloading for offline viewing.

Only downside is that it doesn't like window resizing while a video is playing (not fully DeX compatible) and you need to go back to the videos page and restart the video again. Set the SkyTube window size first before playing a video for the picture-in-picture experience.

Has anyone on this forum tried to run ExaGear Windows Emulator (basically WINE+x86 emulator)?

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.eltechs.ed

I played with the demo one for their RPG/Strategy games and looked ok albeit some weird errors and can really run some native x86 exe's. But not sure if I'd spent $40 USD as an experiment to see if I can sideload Office / Visio / Project 2010 onto my phone (that's the ultimate for my business usage).

For those who have Samsung Gear S2 or S3 watches there is an interesting

DeX Presenter

application (available in Galaxy Apps).

You can control your presentation (Microsoft Power Point) in DeX mode in case your DeX Station is connected with big screen or projector.

Main features:

- go forward / backward with your finger tab action (you can swicth direction with your bezel):good:

- swipe up activates laser pointer + mouse. With emulating mouse you can control your DeX as a mouse clicker in case you haven't real mouse or keyboard with you.:laugh:
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] pimikiel:
I tried and these are games that I tried and made to work.

Total Commander - (to rule all those programs. Launching this make way to run winecfg and configure libraries to each app, to make it work, and work better)

Command & Conquer Red Alert 2 + Yuri's revenge - (there where some sound problems, but replacing dsound.dll helped. Same with wsock32 to enable LAN)

Command & Conquer Tiberian Sun + Firestorm - (dsound.dll fix, and resolution change inside ini file)

Homeworld + Cataclysm - (Works flawlessly, need registry change to change resolution)

Age of Empires 1 and 2 + expansions - (2nd needs to be patched to launch, and there are some sound problems i didn't solve yet. Probl. dsound.dll)

Zeus Master of Olympus + expansions + Emperor Rise of the Middle Kingdom - (sound problem dsound.dll fix)

I tried the settlers 3 and 4 and they dont want to launch, but they do launch in ExaGear Strategies, lol

Worms 2 and WWP requires 3d card for some reason

I didn't tried some of more demanding x86 programs like office or CAD ones but some of them should work.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] bchliu:
I tried the Strategies but the mouse clicks did not pass to the app unfortunately within DEX environment. Really wanted to get the full Emulator thing but I don't think I can test it out properly within 10 minutes of refund time to gamble 30 USD. Would be pretty damn good if this worked in DEX and then being able to run Office and Windows Apps under its x86 emulated WINE..
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] pimikiel:
Weird. On my S8 mouse clicks works and even tracks it in both Strategies and Emulator

I don't know if I can tell but ver. 1.0 in chinese does not have license verification ;)

I'm pretty satisfied with dex stuff but there is just one thing I can't do: enable apps like metatrader on dex mode. When you try to open it appears a message: application optimized for finger use or something like that.*

Is there any fix for that?*

Thanks you guys, my best regards.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] SmilerOnline:
Follow the 'True Window' guide in the 'Desktop Hub' app.

That also unlocks those apps that say they require touch!
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] StardustGeass:
Hi guys, I just found something interesting..

I don't use dex dock right now (currently using my HP Elite Lap Dock), so I can "play" a bit with my phone.

I dunno whether anybody aware of this already, but here it is.

I just realized that, if I press and hold the place where home button is placed, it calls google now on my dex desktop.

I'm not really sure, but doesn't that means our phone screen is still prone to response during dex mode? I tried to touch and hold on several places but doesn't work tho.

The screen also gives response when the Dex mode is locked. Upon pressing the "home button", the device awakened (on the desktop screen, ofc) and asking for iris scanner or pin.

Perhaps this can be a hint or trick for someone more advance to take more control of it :)

Currently using Samsung Dex V. 2.2.15 (Developer),

Having a batrom Kernel installed (universal dex hack enabled) & running BatMan ROM v.1.5 with root enabled.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] kbarni:
Even in Nougat the screen has some very limited functionnality. Another example of activity is when you use retina scanning in Dex mode, it displays two eyes. It also served as touchpad in some preproduction samples.

I'm waiting for the Oreo update when the touchpad feature will be finally enabled.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] Diaconescu_Tiberiu:

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] SmilerOnline:
Clear recent apps, exit DeX, restart the phone and then launch the app in DeX to see if it fixes your problem.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] Conito11:
That really fix the problema. I have just 1 dout... it is possible to duplicate an app or open it twice? Really found on the thread and nothing with open twice or duplicate apps.

Thanks again
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] SmilerOnline:
The Desktop Hub Alternative start menu or the Desktop enhanced keyboard shortcut 'Meta+Alt+D' will launch a second instance of an app (as long as the app supports multi-instancing - like the calculator).
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] Conito11:
This just with pro version right? Gonna buy if it that way!

Another dout... it is possible to set symbols like ?"|{} in personalized way?

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] SmilerOnline:
Yeah.

Meta+K can take you to the keyboard config screen to change the keyboard layout for your physical keyboard.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] Conito11:
Thanks you so much!
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] Conito11:
If that app don't support multi instancing, there is nothing to do with?

Really good pro features! Congrats :good::good:

What's coming next? :fingers-crossed::cowboy::fingers-crossed:
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] SmilerOnline:
One example of an app without multi-instancing support is MS Word (Which seems very strange).

The only thing that we can do is ask the developers to add support, though for the time being you can often find alternative software which is fine with multi-instancing such as 'Hancom Office', many apps will offer multi-instancing without the developer doing anything on their side, it seems that the developer has to deliberately implement a way to force the app to only allow one instance, so MS must have a reason for doing this...

I can't promise much for the time being, as I have other things that need prioritizing at the moment, but as soon as I get some free time, I'll see what new features I can add to DeX/Desktop Hub.

Oreo should be available to DeX users officially soon, so that should bring a large array of features to you.

I'm using Oreo beta as I wanted to ensure that there is compatibility with Desktop Hub before the end users get Oreo, and I can confirm that it is now Oreo optimised! :)

Though Google disabled the ability for apps to monitor CPU/RAM usage in Oreo, so the device monitor is not available in Desktop Hub on Oreo, but Desktop Hub still has the addition of the 'Ctrl+Alt+Del' shortcut to open the Samsung 'Device Maintenance' tool if you want to check any hardware related info.

If any of you are switching to Oreo, you may want to disable the device usage permission for Desktop Hub as it is no longer used, the permission is still listed though as it is there for those of you that want to continue using Android Nougat.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] SC07 TP2:
Not sure how real this 'Dex Pad' story is (will find out at the end of the month at MWC) but a flat Dex dock provides opportunities and challenges. https://m.androidcentral.com/samsung-dex-pad-galaxy-s9

Pluses

You can use the headphone jack.

Use phone screen as secondary display or even a trackpad aka Huawei Mate 10 Pro.

Portable form factor.

Minuses

Can it handle larger and thicker phone cases that have bumper extensions either side of the USB-C port? Using my current USB-C extender adaptor would make it stick out more.

Stability on horizontal surface - without gravity holding phone in place, it might slide around but I see a raised arched support piece at the back (not effective for my Spigen Tough Armour case).

Would have been nice to have the ports on the side rather than at the top so the secondary screen/trackpad orientation is landscape rather than portrait (pure speculation at this point).

Can't use fingerprint reader - I've registered my left middle finger so I can use fingerprint verification just by sliding my finger from the left side of the phone while in the dock.

Loss of Ethernet port.

If trackpad functionality is coming, this Dex Pad would make Linux on Galaxy a very fascinating proposition! Re their last paragraph, I can't help but think if Desktop Hub was baked into DeX (free window sizing, keyboard shortcuts, great App menu, everything we currently enjoy in this forum, etc), mass adoption would be much higher.

Samsung - are you listening?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] SmilerOnline:
I'd also like if the USB connection which appears to stick out of the top significantly can be pushed down and hidden away, then the dock would feel just as portable as a power bank.

If its more cost effective than the DeX station was, I may consider just storing one in my coat pocket to make DeX more accessible on the go.

Though it still doesn't appear as useful as a laptop style dock for portability as many users have been asking for since DeX was first announced last year.

Also, if its intention is to bring greater portability, then they must remove the need to require a USB power connection, as that makes it too difficult to carry around with all of the required wires/adapters, and would get to the point that you may need a laptop bag to carry it all in, but at that point, many would just say, why not use a laptop instead then, at least I don't need to find a monitor with HDMI input support then...

Where I am its a nightmare to ever find a monitor with HDMI input, as most places around me now use 'all in one' desktop computers/monitors that don't support HDMI input.

So I can't quite commit to DeX everywhere at the moment and still need to carry an old Windows laptop for those times which I need to be productive on the go.

So I still think that the lapdock is vital for DeX to be a product which everybody could commit to in all environments/scenarios.

Hello all.

I have a question about application which I would like to use in dex mode. I need app which gives me option to map keyboard/mouse keys to certain screen position and act like a "tap" action, swipe action etc..

For Example I would like to play some game in Dex on bigger screen and would be able to use keyboard and mouse. I know that there are few apps in the market but when I read comments they have a lot of issues.

So.... maybe anyone of you tried any app with success and can give me some feedback?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] StardustGeass:
AFAIK, it is not possible right now due to being locked on Google's end (no permission for it or something).
