One of my favorite features of the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra (and I'm sure it's not restricted to this particular model) is to connect to my work shop PC wirelessly via Dex and be able to transfer files, check/reply to texts, and a few other things. I've come across many videos and articles showing how to connect as mirror or as second monitor or whatever, but I cannot find anything that explains how to connect the Galaxy Tab S7 to PC in the same sense as with Galaxy Note 20 Ultra. I hope my question makes sense.
Basically: Is it possible to connect the Galaxy Tab S7 to the PC wirelessly through Dex the same way you can with with the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra? Not as mirror or second monitor. If anyone has any thoughts on this, Id deeply appreciate your time and feedback.
To my knowledge DeX doesn't work like it does on the Note phones. It won't start DeX on your PC like your phone does.
Fair enough. Thank you for your feedback. I wonder why they'd design it this way.
A Tab S7 or S7+ using DeX via a PC would be redundant. The Tab S7/S7+ with a keyboard cover is essentially a laptop in its own right.

I disparately want TV out features on my Samsung Galaxy ACE.
Has anyone tried getting TV out from Samsung Galaxy Ace??
I have come across many ways of doing this like :-
3.5 mm to RCA (nokia cable) or
Mini Usb(newer version ) to male Hdmi
there is no option of TV out in its original firmware but i am pretty much sure "Qualcom 7227 Chipset" does support TV OUT, But for some reason the samsung has not written the Code/driver etc for this purpose,,
As far as i know Only a pro developer will be able to pull this off, who will be able to create a custom ROM which would have the TV out feature like Galaxy S.
Till then i will have wait and watch,
hey i want to have the same thing, and i was so sure that i have seen a rom with this feature. but i can't find it anywhere -.- i used google and i tried the forum search.. finally i'm angry

this requieres hardware support for the TV out. And i don't think samsung added that to the ace cause this feature is not used. Just that the chipset supports it is not enough.
Galaxy ACE supports DLNA. If your TV is a DLNA certified, you can use this technology to have TV output wirelessly.
i know it has dlna .. but i want TV out somehow... if some app could it!!
or am just dreaming .... i better buy a new phone.
Well I guess it wouldn't exactly be TV Out (RGBA/Component) but you could probably hook up your phone to a laptop in Debug Mode and use ADB to show its screen on your laptop. Then you could hook your laptop up to a television. Complicated, but gets the job done.
There was a thread like this one already, some1 posted a vid that the Ace could successfully TV out. The dev said that it could harm the processor or something, so he stopped developing.
watch this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8c7PG7AL4Jw
The original Galaxy S has this feature any developer knowledgeable in this area and able to port it from the Galaxy S... new kernel maybe?
it will cause gpu burning of aceeee
I agree with cpu burning. The same like what do not runs Screen cast app on ace... because the hardware is not to strong for this...

Ok, so i know they found a fix using Kies for the galaxy tab to play nice with OS X. Unfortunately it seems this isn't working for me on the Galaxy Tab LTE. I'll tell you more about each device.
Macbook
10.6.6. OS
Verizon LTE Galaxy Tab 10.1
16GB Gunmetal running stock everything, unrooted
The device won't be recognized on the macbook. When i plug it in, it says MTP-Initializing and MTP-Connected but Kies will not recognize it, i've used both versions of the OS X software they have listed there, neither work for me. Doubletwist will recognize it, but it can't mount it's storage so doubletwist is equally as useless. This is really bugging me, i want to put movies onto it and 14 minute FTP uploads do not appeal to me, sorry. If someone could help me i'd definitely appreciate it.
bump ten char
I have the same issue got all the updates etc, but still can not see my LTE tab on my mac.
Ok heres the dilemma. - Please can you check my though process here......
Ultimately its a Galaxy Tab vs Nexus 10 question but before you all yawn, for the purpose of this comparison, lets ignore which tablet is better in every respect except sending the screen to a TV in the room.
I'm figuring out a solution for a company with 5 meeting rooms in new premises. They have all their content on Google Mail / Drive and want to present to customers or have internal meetings and look up mails / watch Youtube videos / have video conference meetings on Hangout / Skype. They want to 'upgrade' from a desktop PC linked to a wall mounted TV. They want to buy cheap LCD TVs. The rooms all have a wall mounted power socket and ethernet port and wifi in the room. All directors have Samsung Galaxy 3S phones and all staff are being encouraged to move to this phone.
[I started by buying and testing one of those mini-android HDMI sticks but there are loads of security issues. This is a non starter. The Apps administrator has banned these devices. I can detail the security issue in another post if anyone wants to know.]
I have settled on a tablet solution. Its portable, secure and cheap.
Here is the problem...
If I go with Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 then I get Allshare Cast. This means with a cheap dongle available now, I can retrofit a cheap TV and get pretty good screen share.
If I go with Nexus 10 I get Android 4.2 with multiple share, and Miracast but I am worried Miracast is gonna be like WiFi N where its not really available for another year or so. I cant find a dongle that is actually for sale and I saw a review on the Nexus 10 which said that Miracast is not on the device even though the OS support it.
I was wondering if I could get 'Allshare Cast' working on the Nexus as a stopgap until Miracast works?
Alternatively, I get the Galaxy tab now and then upgrade to Jellybean 4.2 in due course?
Last question... Will Samsung Galaxy 3S phone be able to send to Miracast screens via the Allshare Cast function. (will Miracast support All Share cast)?

This Galaxy Tab 10.1 (first gen) does not have Allshare Cast and will not be getting Jellybean. Need to ask your question in the right forum.
I have tried several times to connect smart view to my TV with both my new Galaxy note 8 as well as my wife's. It appears Samsung has put a block on it so true mirroring is no longer possible but selected files can be used through Samsung connect or other 3rd party apps.
Does anybody have any ideas on how to get this to work properly as my older devices do?

I have a Samsung 55in 4k tv and just found this feature today. I was able to cast what was on my tv back to my phone. It was pretty cool.

Was able to cast my note8 screen to the 1st gen and 2nd gen Chromecast, as well as a Samsung WiFi TV. Have not tried it on the Nexus Player yet. Will update with results

Try resetting your display resolution to FHD+. That's what I had to do

Wow that actually worked!
Thanks for the info.
I appreciate your input but FHD+ is my default setting for my display And that's what I keep it on unless I'm using VR gear.
I was on the phone with a Samsung representative for 45 minutes and they could not figure it out. She said I should have true Screen Mirroring but no matter what we tried it would not work unless we used a 3rd party app . And then it's not true mirroring , it's just selected media share.

Try removing the 3rd party casting apps. I had AllCast installed on my S8+ and that turned out to be the problem.
Been there, done that.
I removed all 3rd party apps till there was nothing left but to hit the mirroring button in the drop down menu and this did not help
were you able to find out the solution to your problem? I am facing the same problem and have tried the solutions mentioned in this thread. It does not work for me . Any help is appreciated.
Samsung givith and takith away.
Samsung is becoming more like apple everyday with proprietary software. My older Samsung devices work on everything. The Note 8 and I would assume the same would be for the S8 and S8 Plus will only do true screen mirroring with Samsung devices. I remembered that my Blu-ray player which is Samsung is also Wireless and will do mirroring and it worked just fine. Then I tried it on a flat panel 2017 Samsung TV and again it worked just fine but go to any other brand or older TV and you have to use third-party software which does not do true screen mirroring. In your settings on any older phone you will have a setting for mirroring in the Advanced connections. But if you look in the settings for the Note 8 the only mirroring setting you find is for a USB connection to your car. Samsung is more and more making it impossible to connect to anything easily but their own devices.

But in my case I own a series 6 samsung led f6400 and still I am not able to connect.The connection happens for a moment and then the screen mirroring terminates. Am I missing any setting?
It works just fine with my note 8 and Samsung TV.
Same problem.
I had this exact same problem. The solution was stupidly simple. When I hit "smart view" all the devices show up. Tapping on the device I want does not work. I actually had to hold down on the device I wanted for a second, and it immediately connected.
It worked totally fine on FHD+ though, it must be a bug. Hold it on WQHD+.
Thank You!
Yes, that worked. Thank you. I wasn't sure exactly what you meant when you said you have to hold it down but it's long hold. If you long hold the icon on the phone when selecting the Samsung smart TV, then in my case I got a request for a validation code which appeared on my TV. It worked. I have the same problem with the Galaxy note 8, and the Galaxy S8. This is definitely a bug, because it actually said it was connected. But then it would time out and the Screen Mirroring on the TV would stop. So glad you came up with the solution. Thanks for sharing with us
If you send a video from notes 8 to the Smart Tv to you is it fluid? To me it jams and then it takes back.

This is the whole reason, scratch that, one of the big reasons (among so many) why the note 8 will be the last Samsung device that I purchase. I have a Galaxy S5 that screen mirrors with audio to any TV. I also have a Galaxy Grand Prime, which is a mid level device, rooted with oreo on it and it screen mirrors just fine.
This is now why I have just firmly decided why I'm gonna root this device and put oreo or pie on it, chalk the rest all up to experience and call it a day. Screw the Samsung software. The next device will be a one plus or Pixel or lastly maybe Motorola. Unbranded and boot loader unlockable. Never again will I deal with a company that wants to double their prices on devices in just two years till they are now $1000 and then eliminate so many features that the hardware is more than capable of thus making your device half as appealing as other flagship devices. Handcuff you and locking the boot loader up tight so you can't do what you want to do with your device you spent a $1000 on. That is all just discussing to me. Big business wanting you to pay more more astronomical dollars all the while wanting to control you and your device more and more. So long, and nice knowing you Samsung but I never really believed in or bought into your marketing and business model.

I actually like Samsung Electronics but I agree with you here. This is my last phone from Samsung because I don't like the fact that it's locked down like that.. What also pisses me off is the fact that Samsung is USING Android as their operating system and Android is OPEN SOURCE software and Samsung shouldn't be taking an open source software and then locking it down! That's like buying a car and then taking the name of it off and putting your own brand name on it and that's not right at all.
Does the Tab S6 have the same ability as the Note 10? Specifically I am asking if you can plug it in to any PC and launch Dex and LoD. Has anyone tried this yet? I am not sure if the companion app has been released officially yet, but, if you have it would you mind trying?
Any and all information is welcome.
Thanks
Edit:
This is a future question.
Not working sadly. I hope they enable it
I can only agree
I've just found this out today too
Shame on Samsung for touting Dex as one of the S6's selling points but not fully allowing the service due to the USB drivers needing updating
This is killing me I would really need that option for working purposes. I have just tested and Dex is not working as shown for the Note series...

Mind expanding on that.
I hope that Samsung extends this DeX Desktop app to work with the Tab S6 too.
And, I would also like the ability to have multiple DeX desktops instead of just the one single DeX desktop on my Tab S6. Like for example, a simple swipe to the left in DeX mode and I have another blank DeX desktop that I can deposit whatever applications I choose to deposit on it.

Hi folks. I don't know if you are still on the lookout for Dex from the Tab S6 to your pc, laptop and e.t.c. From my standpoint, we still have to wait a lot for Samsung to enable this function for us. Right now it's a selling point for the Tab S7 and S7+. So I don't think this greedy lot will release it anytime soon. Anyways, I have been using the following software as alternatives for a while now, and the two are very good. Make your pick:
Github
AnLink
Besides if you happen to stumble across custom ROMs for the Tab S6 please let me know. Take care
