What app did you use to duplicate the screen?

WiFi Display from Scarlet Cake
WiFi Display and my Roku worked fine.
I'm trying to use my View as a secondary monitor with a Dell xps 13 9350. I'm assuming noone else has tried it or it doesn't work for you guys as well. The view shows up with my roku, and my xps shows my roku? I don't know with which device the issue is with.

Try twomonair or twomonusb
I am using twomonair to set up the Galaxy View as extended monitor, it works great.
Via Wifi https://play.google.com/store/search?q=twomonair&hl=en
Via USB https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.devguru.eltwomonusb&hl=en
Not free but works best for me so far.

WiredXDisplay
I have been trying Wired XDisplay, it works ok.

hi all,
I'm not sure which thread should I post my problem since its related to apps then I throw my question here.
I have been trying to keep track of my data usage, its seems that all of apps available manage to show only wifi traffic but not 3g traffic. even I tried to used apps that I used to have also not giving any result.
is it because the apps was design for android v2 not v3?
the data usage show extremely low..

3g Watch Do is the perfect solution, & it works good for me...
Def go with "My Data manager" it is the best on the market acurate and has a handy small widget.
I personally use "SPB Wireless Monitor" on my tab and also on my Galaxy S+ and it works perfectly.
I really like the AT&T communication manager app that comes on the 4g version. It tracks usage real time, including tethering, and syncs with the biller every 6 hours. Unfortunately, they will not have a market version until later this year.

[Q] how to share my screen via wifi direct

Hi all,
I would like to be able to watch a video on my s3 (using stock rom LFB) and to have it synchronized also on the screen of my galaxy tab (p7510 using stock rom 3.2).
I tried air droid already who has it in test but it is too laggy and i do not want to have the screen displayed within a browser.
I would really like to be able to use my tablet screen as a second (more precisely dual) screen of my s3 via wifi direct.
My idea is to be able in the car to have my kids watching the smae video using different devices
If anyone has a suggestion I would really appreciate.
I doubt that wifi direct will be quick enough but maybe...
Thanks

[Q] Some random questions I have had

First off, how can I get rid of the little blue tab on the side with the icon shortcuts. I never use any of them. It would be great to be able to add my own app shortcuts to it but I could not figure out how. I am guessing that these are limited to only ones that are able to do the split screen feature.
Another question is, is there a program that can allow you to use your mouse and keyboard from your PC to control the phone, in a way that I have my phone next to the computer monitor, drag my mouse across over to the side, and the cursor appears on the android screen? Similar to Synergy (PC program)?
Is there a way to keep track of how much data you use over the 4g network? I don't want to go over my 2gigs a month.
I saw on a website that had "top 50 features of the Note2" that it has a feature where you can make the camera track your eyes, so that when you lay in bed, the screen does not rotate. Anyone know about this?
Also, I am pretty new to Android as this is my first smart phone ever. Is there a way to make google reader show pictures from blog artices, instead of having one app for slickdeals (iSlick) or another app for reading lifehacker articles? (Lifehacker unofficial)? I think I would use google reader if it showed pictures.
Has anyone started using Utter!? Seems like a great idea but I did not get very far with exploring it.
Sorry this is a big mess of random questions. Thank you for any input.
PS ~ I tried searching the android forum for how to control with pc mouse and keyboard but was unable to find something. I found AirDroid but i don't think that is what I am looking for.

Press and hold back until it goes away. Press and hold back again to bring it back.

Don't think this is possible the way you describe. They do offer a dock that allows you to plug in a USB keyboard/mouse to control the phone, but you can't have one mouse control both without unplugging it from one and plugging it in to the other.

You can't track JUST 4G usage, but you can track mobile data usage. Go in to Settings and then Data usage. You can even set an alert to warn you when you get close, and a limit that will disable mobile data after so much usage.

This is also in Settings, though under Display. What you're looking for is Smart Rotation. Smart Stay is also there and that keeps the screen on while you look at it.

Google Currents allows you to do news/feed reading. Not sure how it works, but it's listed as an option. Get it in the Play Store.
Awesome, thanks for the quick reply!
I saw a video on YouTube where the guy uses the computer keyboard on his note 2 but without a mouse. It is the guy who makes those daily note 2 videos.

There is an app called Air Display that works for both Windows and Mac and allows you to use an android or apple device.

As others have mentioned, there are a handful of apps. In my experience they are all garbage though. Off the top of my head there is:
Air Display
Screen Slider
iDisplay
And each of them has some combination of the following issues:
500+ ms lag
Disables Aero/DirectX
Apps freeze when moved to tablet (expecially browsers)
Not compatible with 64 bit OSs
Can't set size or relative position of the tablet display
I have heard of good results from setting up VNC to stream a second monitor to an Android device, but I've yet to try it. If you find a good solution to setting up your Nexus as a second monitor, let us know. I'd love to use my Nexus and an extra touch monitor for my PC.

Personally I think you will struggle to find an app that will allow you to play games like this without noticeable lag or other problems.

I've always found TeamViewer hard to use for anything substantial due the lag and slow loading times of everything on my screen - of course that could just be my slow connection.

Splashtop works....kinda, have to drop the display from Sharp to Smooth to get rid of annoying green line across the screen.
Like eall so far, there is considerable lag. A cabled solution would be great for my needs for now.

Can you give step-by-step instructions on how to do that? I've tried creating another display but it doesn't work.

Remote Control of S5 from Computer?

Hi all, already searched and found a few old threads but none with a working apk or zip. Anyone get Teamviewer remote working with the Galaxy S5, either with stock rom or running CM11? I'm currently running CM11 but can't seem to find any modified apks or zips working with Teamviewer remote control. The rest of Teamviewer works great, can see the screen, remove apps/processes, etc. Just no remote. If this one isn't working anyone else get any of the VNC remotes working so I can see/control my phone from a computer?
Regards,
F

I've used VNC hundreds of times before without any issues. Its paid so i can't give you the apk but here is the playstore link. There are other free versions but they require root (this version uses a root method also which i use) but i don't know if you have root or not.

Hmm, that's too bad. I tried it, the server refuses to start on the phone, even though the PC app see's the phone just fine and issues commands for it to start. Phone is rooted, CM11 Unified ROM, server just won't start. Strange.

Agreed, there are a ton of them. Tried about 8 of them, almost all completely fail, closest I got was one that would open a window on my PC of the phone screen, but it was all fuzzy, looked like how the cable company would scramble stations years ago. Tried a few different resolutions and orientations, at a bit of a loss at this point. Got TeamViewer to show the screen but cant interact with it. Grrr!

Hmm, very strange. I use the one I mentioned on my tablet. but i connect my phone to the VNC server so i can pause videos when the tablet is plugged into the TV.
I wonder if something itsn't right in CM11? Have you tried it on a TouchWiz ROM?
Just use Samsung sync. You can control the phone over wifi or via therering. Works really well.

Samsung sync does work well, but it is not lightweight. Has anyone been able to get a VNC server working on the S5? I have tried a bunch of apps with no luck.
