I saw a YouTube video of it plugged into the Note 4. I wasn't too impressed. Basically, the image on the screen was in the shape of the smartphone and not resized to fit the screen like my old setup would do (DROID RAZR MAXX/HD STATION). If I do get the Smart Dock, is there a setting that will fit the monitor size in full screen? Will I have Keyboard/Mouse functionality? Would like to hear from someone that actually uses the Smart Dock and knows first-hand.
Yep, I use nova to set the screen to lock onto oreintation and yes keyboards work ill see tomorrow if i can get some screenshots of me using it
App called set orientation is what I use
I went ahead and ordered one off of Amazon. Thanks, everyone. My PC motherboard just died so I'm going to try and live off of this for a little while until I can build another PC. It was time, 7 years old.
EDIT: I was first having problems seeing my mouse pointer. After plugging and unplugging, then replugging it in, it works. I'm using a Logitech Unifying Device to plug in a K800 keyboard and a mouse (I forgot the model of the mouse I have).

For any one has a problem to type special characters using an external keyboard,this is the solution : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.apedroid.hwkeyboardhelper&hl=it
For some reason, my dock only worked once. Now, my keyboard and mouse keep connecting and disconnecting. How can can I fix this? Also, my car app (Carhome Ultra) wanted to open when I just wanted my phone to just mirror the launcher. I also no longer have full screen. Could I have a faulty dock? Should I FDR my phone?

If you use wired mouse, screen should automatically change orientation from portrait to landscape once mouse is plugged in (with monitor attached to smart dock).

I really don't understand this, but after unplugging/replugging in, AGAIN, it worked. In fact, I'm on it, now.
The only thing I'm a bit unhappy with is the resolution. The letters look HUGE. Is there a way to change the resolution? I can't seem to find it.

Will the tablet work with a Bluetooth mouse? Without the dock.

I to am wondering as I have an extra MS Notebook mouse 5000 I used with my netbook.
Ok your thread made me bust out my dell bluetooth mouse. Just paired it and it paired fine and once I moved the mouse I got a cursor on the screen.
Scroll wheel works as it would on your computer not like in the touchpad reviews. Scrolling up moves up and down moves down. If you hold the right mouse button and swipe back it works like the back key. Will try out other things later. Is kind nice though. Also the pointer has that blue honeycomb glow to it.
Awesome. With the eventual keyboard dock plus the mouse, this is easily a netbook replacement as long as the software holds up.
Hi guys, I'm debating on getting the Microsoft Arc Mouse for my Transformer... I use my TF a lot with Splashtop HD and other programs that are a lot easier with a mouse, plus I'm not a trackpad kind-of-guy.
I'm posing this question because I already have a Microsoft Wireless Mouse 3500 that works excellent with my Windows 7 PC, but once I plug in the nano transceiver into my EeePad, the mouse cursor can be moved, but every 2 seconds the mouse "jitters" and for about a a second the mouse doesn't move. So basically I can't use this mouse comfortably.
I just wanna make sure that the Arc Mouse doesn't have this problem. Thanks guys.
I can't say for sure since I don't own it myself but so far I have tried my wife's Wireless Mouse 3500 and my Wireless Mouse 6000 and have the same issue with the "jitters" every few seconds. However I have an older Wireless Mobile Mouse 3000 with jumbo stick adapter and it works with no problems at all. So my assumption would be that Microsoft has made some recent revisions to their HID code that doesn't jive well with Android 3.2. Hopefully someone who already has one can try it out and give us a concrete answer.
Eh, I guess it's too late. I ordered the Logitech M180, from what I've seen this one should work fairly well with the TF, and if not, it'll be returned and I'll try the Arc Mouse. I mainly wanted a small wireless mouse that could fit in this small front pouch of the netbook case I use for my TF.

Works great, just plug it in and your good. I like that the reciever doesn't stick out too much from the dock.

Aghhhh, thanks for the quick response, I may have to exchange my Logitech Mouse for the Arc now, it would fit so much better in my little case.

The Arc Touch? I too have that, and it gets the same lag as the 3500 does.
Do you all happen to be on the dock with a custom kernal? I have the dock, currently on the latest revolver; but I am uncertain if its a rom/kernal issue, dock issue, or microsoft/android issue
I use a Logitech Bluetooth V470 Cordless Laser Mouse, no software required it just works! UK price £34.99
Logitech US have a Tablet Mouse for Android™ 3.1+ at $49.99 but both mice have the same part # so make your own conclusions

I think all of the usb receiver mice have lag, to some degree... but we are one step closer to the coolest thing since sliced bread. I guess my expectations aren't as high as others.. the OS is coming along and I expect it to improve over time, or over devices..
Got mine off amazon. Does not activate dock mode.
Is it defective?

No I think it is the way it was designed. Doesn't use the pins on the back and you have a microusb nub that sticks up for you to connect to.

Well...It doesn't necessarily have to use the pogo pins to activate dock mode. For example the official car dock will launch the Car application when the phone is docked even though it uses usb. It's all in how the connector is pinned out.
Having two of these I can say neither activate dock mode.

I'm sure you could get an nfc tag, stick it to the dock and have the phone launch the dock mode when it detects the tag. Of course, this solution leaves the phone in dock mode when you undock it and I'm not sure what happens if you just kinda leave the phone sitting on top of the tag like that and try to do other stuff.
If the tag is too low for the phone to detect I'm sure you could jury rig something to raise the tag closer to the center of the phone.
H4x the cable or order one already modded. I just ordered two cables. 1 for car and 1 for night stand.

Install "any cut" from the play store, open it and pick new shortcut. The find HTC Dock mode and select that. Now at least you have a icon on your home screen to get into dock mode even though your dock doesn't automatically trip it.

Does the dock mode turn off the soft key lights? That's my issue right now because using my phone as an alarm clock at night, the dang soft key buttons are way too bright!

Hey there Note'able people
I made my own small dockstation with a HDMI connector underneath. This means that when it's said, the Note is connected with HDMI.
However, when set, the tablet suddenly runs 'Infinite Painter'.... which i don't want ofcourse...
I had the same problem with tuneIn Radio, which i uninstalled for that reason.
Is there a place where i can see which app gets a go when my tablet docks?
I thought about Tasker, but i want my tablet to do nothing when i place it in the dock, not run some action...
Get invisible dock from Google play.

Starting a thread to see what kind of kooky and cool ideas peeps have come up with for their setup.
I just bought another Logitech MX570 trackball mouse. My 3rd. I like to go back and forth between traditional mice (MX Performance) and trackball so I don't get carpal tunnel and tendonitis. I'm up in the air about the dedicated keyboard. I will probably get the Logitech K800 as that has been my favorite so far. I would like to try the Craft but too expensive.
I know many of you are just going straight usb-c to HDMI adapter and using Bluetooth accessories. Those are welcome too. It would be really nice if Logitech came out with a sweet sweet keyboard with touchpad built in. There are a couple but the cheap one is just that, cheap and low quality. I bought my mom the K400 and it works fine for her but not for me. Logitech needs to step up their game on a keyboard with touchpad built in.
I am also using Logitech because of the unifying receiver so only USB port is taken for 2 accessories. Have not decided on a USB thumb drive yet.
What setups are you running for productivity with DEX? Please share so there is a thread peeps (that actually use the search function) can come and see what options there are to fit their workflow. Or haven't thought of.
I will update later today see if my USB controllers work for emulators and what the latency is, which I am hoping is just as good as mouse input. I was expecting critical latency that would make the experience bad.
Anybody try with a USB powered monitor yet?
I'm sorry, but..... pics or it didn't happen, right?
I invested in this dex stuff just as a hobby. I already have 4 pc’s plus a laptop and an iPad Pro 12.9 i carry with me daily.
I passed on it with the note 8 but thought to give it a go the note 9.
I also use the mxperformance mouse for my pcs but i picked up a jelly comb foldable portable wireless keyboard. It has a click-style mouse pad and the keypad is pleasant to use. I also picked up the dex pad , hdmi 2.0b latest spec hdmi cable.
I guess a good way to use this setup will be when I download films to the device. Rather than copy the file over to the pc, i can just connect the dex to the display and have better flexibility.
I found the jelly comb folding keyboard to be crap. Double characters everywhere. Moved to a generic wireless mouse on one of the USB ports and an MS folding BT keyboard. It's replaced my work laptop for 80% of tasks. Oh and powering the HDMI adapter by a Nintendo switch USB C power supply as it kicks out 2.6A which is enough to charge the phone at the same time.
I probably won't post a pic (if I even remember) until Friday or Saturday. I think I will try using it one day and a USB 3 thumb drive. I think DEX only supports USB 2 though. Another missed opportunity by Samsung to make this an even better pseudo desktop experience. Did Sammy use 3 or 3.1 for their USB C? Having two or even one USB 3 A port would've been sweet for local storage. Between a Logitech unifying receiver and a SanDisk UltraFit USB 3 drive and you're talking one smaller desktop.
Samsung could make some corny commercials pitting it against Intel NUC boxes like their Apple commercials. ???
Hi guys I have my dex set up, however I'm looking for a Bluetooth keyboard my monitor only has an hdmi, vga connection so I need advice on what will be my best option maybe I should get a cable with a USB receiver for an wireless keyboard any inputs are welcomed thanks.
I'm using my Note9 with Dex running on HP X3 lap dock. Great setup for travel but also when I need to edit things locally on the phone----tasker for example. Everything works on the lap dock including sound. Track pad works but could be better.

Woah, you have a working sound for hp elite? Is there any special way to get it?
I had picked up a DeX dock from Amazon for 60 bucks. I used a logitech anywhere BT mouse and the blue BT keyboard. Mouse and keyboard work great. Resolution looks crappy, seem kinda blurry for a 1080p screen. Still needs work, I was hoping to get the DeX working good enough to use as a htpc streamer for my living room TV. Still fun to play around with tho.

does DeX work with any cheap HDMI to usb C adapter that supports 4k and 60 Hz? There are some on eBay for 7 bucks
dex output is crystal clear for me. I have used this on an lg 4K 27 inch monitor and my old school plasma Panasonic 3D display from 2011
I have a late spec hdmi 2.0b cable and again the resolution is not blurry at all. Plenty of videos on the web to also show the clarity .
Yes dex works with a regular hdmi spec cable usb c to hdmi. I have also used dex with just a cable (waiting on the pad tho show up)
What happens when incoming call?
Hi. Not sure where to post this. Thinking of jumping from iPhone to Note9
Can somebody tell me if I will be able to use the Note9 as a normal handset with an incoming call? (While in Dex). Everything I see indicates the acutal Note9 runs independent when docked but I can't find any example of making/receiving a call on one.
I want to use a USB extension cable and just be able to use the phone like normal when connected to Dex. Not sure what happens to the audio if I'm also using external speakers via Dex.
Thanks!

I've received several phone calls when on DeX.. Since I'm working in a personal room, I'm just answering the phone calls using speakerphone.. If you're using external speaker, the audio will be routed there (I once used my UE Boom 2 speaker for answering call)
thanks.
I know I'm still connected to Dex via a USB-C extension cable but I'd like to be able to just pick up the phone and use it "privately" like normal. Is that possible?
I believe something changed with the Note9 making it work differently with Dex.

If you're using USB-C to monitor, in my experience, you can just answer phone normally on phone
