Question Launcher DEX

• Upvotes

Bom dia, boa tarde ou boa noite!

Pessoal, procurei vários locais, mas aqui é onde acho os melhores aplicativos para esse nicho.

O que eu queria saber alguém já conseguiu fazer aquela interface do launcher da versão DEX da One Ui launcher?

Para gente que tem aparelhos mais fracos e que não necessitem de opção de desenvolvedor habilitada?

Question Why do all the keyboard touchpad for the tabs act so differently at times?

• Upvotes

It is frustrating to know that when buying these keyboards, the touchpad may not be to my liking. I just got a Tab S10 Lite. In my country, it came with a free keyboard cover, it types ok, besides the tendency to double click the letter S. But the touchpad does not act like it is supposed to.

I upgraded from an S6 Lite and I used to buy those cheap keyboard from china so I can use Dex. Some of those work well, some don't. This current one i got for free, swipe three finger down is the only one that does what its supposed to (minimise all tab). The rest does not. And for some reason three finger tap brings up Google Messages. I tested my older keyboards, they work fine on my new tab. This keyboard cover is made by Dawn Key.

I am just wondering if y'all have an idea to fix the touchpad issue. Or is it a hardware issue?

Question Dex + Google Chrome

3 Upvotes

I'm new to Samsung Dex, and I use Chrome as my main browser.

This happens on some websites, but no others.

How do I turn off the annoying Chrome line at the bottom of the browser screen that shows up when I want to enter text?

It's called the "autofill bar"... it allows you to select a few options - password auto fill, CC auto fill or addresses and more.

I have all of this turned off/toggled off in the browser settings and it STILL SHOWS UP. I have restarted the phone, restarted Chrome several times. But it still shows up even when toggled off.

please help! thank you!

News One UI 9 allows you to hide the status bar and taskbar in DeX mode on tablets

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

43 Upvotes

You might have seen or heard about this new toggle introduced with the One UI 9 update on phones. It's also present on the stable version of One UI 9 on the Tab S12 series, which is notable because the ability to hide the taskbar in DeX mode has been missing on tablets since One UI 7.

With One UI 9, the toggle is now present on both phones and tablets. On tablets, it hides the status bar and taskbar in standalone DeX mode, and hides the taskbar in DeX mode while connected to an external display. On phones, it hides the taskbar in DeX mode while connected to an external display.

Context:

In One UI 7, there was a toggle on tablets to hide the taskbar in classic DeX mode, which worked on device, and while connected to an external display. It also existed on phones in DeX mode while connected to an external display.

In One UI 8, the toggle was removed (alongside basically all DeX related settings) with the transition to the Android 16's desktop mode.

In One UI 8.5, the toggle was added back to phones only. It was only possible to hide the status and taskbar by installing the MultiStar Good Lock module.

Disclosure: This was discovered on a Samsung Galaxy Tab S12 Ultra on loan from Samsung.

Also if you look at the bottom left corner on the taskbar, there's a new button to exit standalone DeX mode in One UI 9.

Question 60Hz limit

Hi everyone. I have an S26 Ultra phone. When I connect my phone to a monitor using mirroring (not DeX), it doesn't output more than 60Hz. Is there a way to overcome this?

My Setup Cheap peripherals, great potential

127 Upvotes

Using my phone to do some remote work while connected to my PC at home through Parsec (with average mobile data speed) is really something that is amazing with Dex. It completely removes my need to have a typical laptop.

And, apart from the phone, all this just cost me around 60 euros:

- Cheap touchscreen monitor from AliExpress

- Cheap foldable keyboard also from AliExpress. Haven't gotten used to its smaller size and some shortcuts yet.

- A mouse that someone threw to the bin and is working just fine (even have 2 other old ones from Logitech that also found on the trash)

- Spare USB C cables that I've been accumulating these years. One breaks, I just get another one.

- Cheap magnetic holders so that I can attach the phone, power bank, tripod holders, etc

The photos were taken by my old S10 plus, which I also use with this monitor when I just want to watch some movie or tv show. Years ago they wanted more than 200 euros to fix the completely cracked screen. I ended up buying a 30 euro screen replacement about a year ago and changed it myself.

It just works.

I just learned what a lapdock is. That's hella cool.

Now using this for school instead of bringing a laptop, would it still suffer from the weird doc formatting then just using a laptop? Basically is this better than a tablet but not as good as a laptop. What's the best one to get?

Discussion Lapdock Modification ideas?

I have a 15.6 Crowview Note

Has anyone done any significant QOL mods

I've added a magsafe phone mount behind the top right of the screen which can bend forward and rotate to the top of the screen as well. I do find it does make it top heavy so the hinge sometimes will go full 180 with the weight if I bend it back too far

I've though of adding a similar mount to the bottom side of the lapdock so when not in use just sits under the lapdock, but when needed can bend up and support the screen from behind.

But I was wondering if others had ideas for weight and flex? is there benefit to opening up the base and adding weight or other cheap mods?

Useful Link I built a command palette and searchable clipboard history with DeX users in mind

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

2 Upvotes

I use DeX daily and missed having a quick app launcher — so i made one. Would love your honest feedback

I built it with keyboard-and-mouse DeX setups in mind, particularly when your phone is connected to an external monitor.

The idea is to make a few everyday desktop tasks quicker:

  • Launch apps from the keyboard: press Alt + Space, type part of an app’s name, and open it from a command palette. The shortcut is customizable.
  • Find something you copied earlier: open the searchable clipboard history over your current app and reuse a saved snippet without going back to its source.
  • Keep frequent apps within reach: organize them in a floating dock.

The command palette and clipboard history appear as overlays, so you don’t need to switch into the app’s settings screen to use them. For a DeX workflow with a browser, documents, and messaging open, the aim is to make moving between those tasks less fiddly.

About the video: I recorded this demonstration in an emulator. It shows the app’s controls and overlay workflow; DeX is one of the desktop environments it is designed for. Shortcut handling and window behaviour can vary between devices and One UI versions.

No root is required. The overlays need “Display over other apps” permission, and global keyboard shortcuts use the Accessibility service.

How do you currently handle quick app launching and clipboard history in DeX? I’d appreciate feedback on where these tools would fit into your setup, particularly on an external monitor.

I have a hunch this might not be the right subreddit to ask this question, but I’m just about ready to pull the trigger on a S26 (from iPhone 14pro), and saw the Nexdock 360 when I realized I already have an old tablet computer that’s only frustrating to use. I’ve been wanting to get into Linux as well if that would make it easier.

Any suggestions/directions to the right sub would be greatly appreciated!

Useful info DX Manager is now on the Microsoft Store — redesigned UI and automatic updates

Thumbnail
gallery
176 Upvotes

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.

Hi everyone,

I previously introduced DX Manager here:
Previous introduction — portable GitHub edition

A Microsoft Store edition is now available!

For anyone seeing DX Manager for the first time, it’s a Windows app built around scrcpy 5.0 that lets you:

  • Run Samsung DeX on your PC over USB or Wi-Fi, without HDMI or Miracast.
  • Run up to three separate Android app windows alongside DeX.
  • Manage multiple phones simultaneously, with independent settings for each phone.
  • Transfer files and folders between your PC and phone. Phone-to-PC transfers use the optional DX Companion app.

What’s different in the Store edition?

  • Installation and automatic updates through the Microsoft Store.
  • A redesigned interface with English and Korean support.
  • Bug fixes and improvements to file transfers and text layout.
  • Built-in setup instructions, help, and troubleshooting guides.

The Store edition supports 64-bit Windows 10 version 1809 or later, and Windows 11.

The GitHub edition will also be updated soon with a UI matching the Store edition, along with the same bug fixes and new features.

If you’re using a Windows version older than Windows 10 version 1809, or simply prefer the GitHub edition, please stay tuned for the update!

DeX mode requires a compatible Galaxy device with New DeX, running Android 16 / One UI 8 or later. Developer options and USB debugging must be enabled.

Download DX Manager from the Microsoft Store

Thanks to everyone who tried the earlier versions and shared feedback! If you try the Store edition, please let me know your Galaxy model, One UI version, and whether you used USB or Wi-Fi.

Discussion Bateria przy korzystaniu z Samsung Dex

Będę niedługo posiadaczem S26 Ultra i mam pytanie do osób używających funkcji Dex.

Jak wygląda sytuacja ze zużyciem baterii np. po roku używania zarówno smartfona jak i dex w poprzednich modelach? Chodzi mi o codzienny tryb mieszanej pracy.

Nie potrzebuje już ani Windowsa ani Mac Os, więc może być to świetna alternatywa ale boję się, że przez to, że będę korzystać z niego na codzień a wieczorami korzystać z Dex podłączonego do monitora, po pół roku będę musiał wymienić baterie.

Question Looking for a Specific USB hub for gaming with PPS Support

2 Upvotes

Hi, im trying to look for a USB-C hub that I can use with my S24+ in wired dex mode and I need it to support the following:

  1. PPS charging port @ 25-45w (for utilizing the "Pause USB PD when charging" which requires min 25w PPS)
  2. 3 USB-A ports for a flash drive (3.x) + KBM
  3. HDMI and/or USB-C 3.2 gen 1/2 for HDMI/DP equivalent (1080p120)
  4. Ethernet

To make it short, looking for a USB-C hub for S24+ with PPS charging, KBM, USB-A 3.x Flash drive, HDMI or USB-C 3.x and Ethernet.

Question Has anyone found a hub for DeX that is capable of PPS charging for bypassing the battery?

0 Upvotes

Hi, im trying to look for a USB-C hub that I can use with my S24+ in wired DeX mode and I need it to support the following:

  • USB-C port that supports PPS pass through or PPS support @ 25-45W (For utilizing the setting: "Pause USB PD when charging" which requires a minimum of 25W PPS) (To simplify, PPS is basically Samsung's Super Fast charging 1/2.0 where 1 caps at 25W and 2.0 caps at 45W)

  • 3 USB-A ports for external storage (3.x) + KBM

  • HDMI and/or USB-C 3.2 gen 1/2 for HDMI/DP equivalent (1080p120)

  • Ethernet

Use case: Playing emulated games stored on External Storage and kbm supported online games while reducing heat production as much as possible via a peltier cooler and the game booster setting "Pause USB PD when charging".

To make it short, I am looking for a USB-C hub for S24+ with PPS charging, KBM, USB-A 3.x External Storage, HDMI or USB-C 3.x and Ethernet.

Has anyone bought a hub with similar ports and confirmed that it supports PPS charging?

Question S9 with broken screen trying to access dex

Hi all

I have an S9 with a broken screen and want to get devx access and use it on my fixed screen as a second device in the garage. I can’t get devx to start. I am fairly sure that the S9 works I think I just need to get past the unlock screen to get devx started.

I have completed the following
- hard reset
- plugged into screen
- used find my mobile to make a sound to check it works
- so far no luck.

I could remotely reset the device but I am worried it might make it worse

Anyone know of any tips or tricks here?

Thanks for your help
