DeX Mode on S10 - apps not running any longer in desktop mode!!!! - Samsung Galaxy S10 Themes, Apps, and Mods

Hi guys,
just switched from the Note 9 with latest Android version to the S10. Both are running well with the DeX Station and DeX Pad.
I restored all my apps through Play Store & Samsung Cloud. :angel:
But when I now try to start some apps, an error message appears: app can not started in DeX mode -try phone mode
I've currently tested VNC Viewer, LastPass and 1Password -and a lot of other apps are running in a non-resizeable window. I tried DeX hub, DeX dev mode - same issue.
What the hell have has Samsung changed with the S10 bloatware?
Any hints?
Thanks

Haven't gotten around to messing with dex yet but try this.
Go to developer options, scroll to the very bottom, then turn on "Force activities to be resizable"
Just in case you don't know how to enable developer options, go to settings > about phone > software information and tap build number repeatedly until the toast says developer options has been enabled. Once it's enabled it'll be at the bottom of settings below about phone.

Hmmm, Samsung has aired an update a few minutes ago, which forced a restart of my phone.
Whatever it was, the issues are gone and the apps are now working as expected.

Many thanks. I already did this based on the hints in the Dex Hub app, but with no success.
Maybe I haven't restarted the phone twice to force the settings before...

Installed apps are in phone mode instead of tablet mode

Hi,
Every app I install from google play are set in phone mode. It would be great if there is a way to install tablet versions of the apps.
For example in Chrome (installed from google play) I dont get the tablet interface with multiple tabs etc. In gmail I dont get the interface with the side panel.
Is there a way to force these apps to show the tablet versions or force google play to only let you install tablet versions of apps?.
Tkx
hmmm...enable the developer mode and extra developer mode by tapping on the build no (?)
Just go to Settings > About and tap like crazy on those infos. It will unlock the dev and extra dev settings.
Then, there is an option somewhere to enable or disable phone mode for apps.
good luck.
Can also root and chande pdi in build prop

Sideloading apps on gear fit 2 ?

Does anyone know how to sideload apps on the gear fit 2?
There's an option in the gear app to accept install of apps from unknown sources, so I'm assuming this will enable us to sideload apps (same as on android)
Have anyone been able to extract apps from their gear fit 2?
I'm just assuming tizen is similar enough to android that we should be able to extract apps from it.. Has anybody been able to extract an installed app?
Not sure if it's possible, but if you go into Settings > Gear Info > About Device and tap 5 times on the software version you get a prompt for a PIN code on a blue keyboard - maybe you can enable addition debug features there? I assume this is for entering service codes, haven't tried any known Samsung ones yet.
I was playing with the ones at the store, I noticed they have a different model number SM-R360X and also have the ability to update via wifi (they have a newer firmware as well). My Fit2 can't take the update via the Samsung store (seems like a ton of people can't, given the 1/5 star rating), so I'm going to try and figure out how to switch it to that mode.
*Edit* Just found the original Fit had this too, this thread has some of the service codes: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2739949
Although don't do the test mode > dimming, you'll have to force reboot the band by holding the home button.
*Edit2*
Well then, apparently by entering the dimming mode and then holding home, it takes you to the band's recovery screen / bootloader. Options are:
Continue, Download, Download (Wireless), Factory Command, Recovery, PowerOff.
Playing with these, there seems to be quite a few stuff. Including having it service for a special Access Point.
Did anything more come of this?
Yes, it's possible to sideload apps. You can use the Smart Development Bridge (sdb) to connect to the gear fit 2 and install apps. You can also do it directly from Tizen Studio if you're making your own app for it.
I haven't been able to get privileges to extract apps, although I haven't tried very hard.
See https://developer.tizen.org/development/tizen-studio/web-tools/running-and-testing-your-app/sdb
Does anyone have any links to apps actually worth sideloading?

Samsung Health Will Not Launch

Hey everybody! Hope you are having a great week so far. I have been having a problem with Samsung Health. I am having this problem on an unlocked Samsung Galaxy S8. Whenever I launch the app, I am getting this warning message:
"All applications associated with this action have been turned off or blocked, or are not installed. To turn on the disabled applications, go to Settings > Application manager, then tap the disabled applications tab. Select an application from the list, the tap Turn on."
I have Samsung installed and enabled and I am wondering what other apps could possibly be causing this to happen. The only applications that I have disabled are YouTube and Hancom Office Editor. I have disabled and uninstalled other apps in the past so maybe one of those uninstalled apps is causing this problem. Does anyone know what apps/system processes are needed to launch Samsung Health? If not, does anyone know how to debug the app startup process and figure out what is going on? Thanks in advance.
Hi , try to do factory reset but before that back up your data and remove all your accounts from your device and try .

I will try this. Thanks.
Re-Enable the apps you've disabled, it might then work again.

This did not work. As I suspected, YouTube and Hancom Office did not have anything to do with S. Health.
I ended up factory resetting the phone and then restoring all of my data from backups. This did the trick. Not a true solution to the problem but everything works now. I guess we will never know what was actually causing this issue.

[Help] Whatsapp videopreview black screen with audio

Hello everyone,
I have a Galaxy S7 (SM-G930F) with Kernel 3.18.91. and Android 8.0. The phone was rooted just recently with the latest version of magisk.
I am not quite the expert, but I will try my best to describe the issue.
Basically after I rooted this phone, I started noticing that I could no longer play back videos in Whatsapp before I send them (the preview window where you can edit it before sending it).
All it does now is play back the audio and show a black screen. It doesn't crash or anything, the content of the video is just not being played except the audio.
Video playback is completely fine in the stock gallery app and everywhere else.
I already reinstalled Whatsapp and restarted my Phone
I have the following modules for magisk installed:
Busybox 1.31.1
debloater 17.3.3
Viper4Android FX 2.7.1
Samsung 4K60 Camera Mod 7.6.86
I also removed some of the bloating software with the terminal, but upon noticing this issue I decided to revert some of the changes. I do not know if this issue persisted beforehand. I was thinking that I might have deleted something here that was important for its functionality, but then the stock player wouldnt work either right?
I would rather not do a factory reset to fix this, if possible. However, if there is no other possibilty is there a way to backup all my modules and settings?
Here is what I tried:
reinstall Whatsapp multiple times
restart the phone
revert some of the changes in the debloater terminal
deactivate HW overlay
My guess is that I deleted something in the terminal that was important, is there a way to know for sure?
I hope someone can give me some hints as to what this problem is about. I will make sure to add screenshots of the list EDIT: need 10 posts to send links so I will just do it manually.
list of removed apps:
Basic Daydreams
Skype
tuiService
VoiceAssistant
upsmtheme
gearmanagerstub
samsung galaxy friends
language packs
galaxy essential widgets
Gear VR Service
S voice
Samsung gear, account, billing, cloud
EDIT 2: I found a temporary fix by enabling force GPU rendering in the system settings, I double checked by enabling the refresh indicator and previewing a video. Once I disable this option, video preview no longer works again. Question now is, if there is a way for me to exclusively enable this for whatsapp to save battery life
Just switch rendering by gpu in develop opp
Manny thanks buddy its works
Tomas
How to Enable Force GPU Rendering:
First of all "THANKYOU" for the solution of error. May GOD Bless You :angel:
1. Go to Settings and scroll all the way down to the bottom.
2. If you don't see the option, tap on About phone (About device) and look for an entry called Build Number.
3. Tap on Build number 7 times until you get a message saying “You are now a developer“.
4. Find Force GPU Rendering option and enable it.
Request for prayers.

same issue here with my Galaxy S7 EDGE in whatsapp i factory reseted reinstalled whatsapp but still same issue any help?
Having the same issue here with my s7 edge too i haven't rooted or done anything to it. Its a tmobile version.. Before it was blank screen with sound.. Noe there is no sound at all.. Any solution please
Seems to be a general bug for some devices...
Force GPU rendering and clearing my cache didn't fix it for me, however, I was able to get around the black screen by hitting the "Add files" icon, and immediately hitting "OK" without adding any additional files. Video preview renders fine after doing this each and every time. It's a hassle but it works for me. Hope this helps someone.
In case this is an entirely different bug, the file's audio still plays for me when I tap the black screen on my Google Pixel 3.
Thank you so much i have been dealing with this in my samsung s7 too for a long time and i fixed it with an old version of whatsapp, until today that i couldn´t use it anymore because it was too old. This is the first site that i have seen a real solution to this problem. Thanks againn!!
It worked
I enable developer and force gpu rendering and I can now preview videos before uploading on whatsapp. I've been having this issue from the time I got my phone and now it works fine thanks guys

Android Auto - mi10

Hi all, i can't seem to get this to work, I can't even see the app to select...when I go to play store it says update which I do then it just says uninstall after...no open option is available...I can't see the app within the app section in settings to try and uninstall from there...if anyone can provide any insight that would be great.
Thanks
Pl download and install "Android Auto for phone screens" from Playstore.It will enable you to see Android Auto in Apps section.
Thanks, I did do that but has made no difference, when I plug the phone into car I get a haptic rumble then the car stereo says check if your device is compatible with Android Auto... strange as I use to use my Poco phone f1 with Android Auto in the same car... it's very odd.
I also cleared playstore service cache but didn't help... I'm at a loss!?
Same problem here
hello to all of you
it's normal since 1 or 2 version of android auto it no longer appears in the list of applications.
But he's here.
To desinstall it just go into parameters -- applications -- manage the applications and it will appear to be able to install it.
To use it just connect the phone to the main USB of the car and it will launch automatically.
Here's a good day
I have a ford focus mk4 and android auto work correctly with global EEA mi 10 rom (android 11 too) I confirm new Android auto Version don't show app icon on phone you can find AA menu setting in phone setting under Google or connectivity after A11 update. My problem is Google maps lost navigation and some time close itself during use. I try to battery optimization things but don't resolve my problem
