Anyone know if the new Dex feature that works on PC and Mac works on chrome os.?
I've always have seen comparisons between Dex and Chrome OS. I'd be curious to see if it did work as well.

If you're talking about the built in dex, I can confirm it working on Windows 10. You need to download an app and install on your PC and when you plug it in the first time you have to launch the Dex app, after that it launches automatically.

Im looking for the e reader app that was on the demo vid Samsung put out about a month back. Im not talking about the mag, newspaper, book one. there was also an app that only said "ebook" or something like that under the icon. It had a bookshelf and good looking animations when a book was opened (page turn etc. . .). I d/l Kobo but that does not look like the one Samsung was demoing, and kobo does not have any type of lage turn anamations. I have the US T Mobile version and it seems like it was removed for some reason. does anyone know what im talking about and does amyone have the apk for this?

Well, looking at it, it's certainly not Amazon Kindle or Aldiko. Possibly Kobo?

I d/l Laputa and it looks and acts almost the exact way the demo was showing..save for a few things..but that may be just Samsung customizing the app for its own use. Anyone here with the EU version that has this installed?
I'll have to look at the Nook reader and see how that one works..
The Laputa reader work very well and has very smooth page turning effects..so far I'm liking this one.
Here you go:
Maybe in exchange I could get my hands on the media hub from the US version. That, or maybe the demo versions of NOVA or Asphalt5 (not the market version) that came pre-installed on your device.

how do you install this? i unzipped it and its a ebook folder.
I think I know what your problem is: if I remember correctly, the .apk format is itself just a renamed .zip, so your unzipping tool is probably working a bit overzealously, and extracting both. Make sure you only unzip one level, and you'll be fine.
I found that the instructions in the last post here work.
androidtablets.net/forum/samsung-galaxy-tab/2279-no-signs-reader-hub-us-galaxy-tab.html
Download the files and do what he says.
Worked in my Tmo Galaxy Tab.
News and Kobo reader worked in ReadersHub and the magazines app worked in the Readin app.

Maybe try copying the apk to /system/app manually?
Other than that, sorry, no clue.

Anyone figure out how to install this?
Didi u try to rename extension from zip to apk?
Anyone been able to get the Ebook app to run on a US tab?
Tried to install it on every possible way, them I installed the nook reader (eu user have to use market enabler and fake themself as american to download it) from the market.
Page turn animation and double page in landscape, and that is what I wanted from the samsung app. And it's even implemented better!

Yep, full epub support, you have to put your books in /sdcard/Nook/MyDocuments amd you may have to open "my files" a pair of time for the books to appear.

Been searching everywhere for an app that will allow me to control my phone from the pc. Really need this due to my disability(and having just bought a massive galaxy tab).
I used to use my mobiler on winmo and it was great!
Would be willing to pay for the app also.

Hi mcnally,
I have successfully used 'droid VNC server' in the past.
What VNC client are you using on your desktop? I have used tightvnc, realvnc and ultravnc (they all do the same thing, just differently)
I had assumed that keyboards & mice were configured automatically, but there can be a "view only" option that may have stopped your keyboard & mouse from interacting.
Also - sometimes VNC is quite laggy, so laggy it looks like its not responding! your client should have a setting to reduce the color depth, this transmits less data & can help the lag but you loose colours. There may also be settings to reduce data transfer further, like handling the mouse on the client side etc...

What kind of network are you using?(I'm assuming wifi)
VNC can be a bit laggy at times, but its still good!

Wifi yes but i'd prefer to use usb, whatever is easiest tho. I was using the ultra vnc viewer, any other suggestions?
I use webkey, very easy to setup and can be used over 3G. You can even track where your phone is at the moment, or let it ring (like HTC's Sense )

Hi,
I am looking to remote into my phone to do some typing. I have a camera program & I need to enter all the info on the phone.
I tried airdroid but it wont let me actually see the screen. Is there any way to enter data using a windows PC into the GSiII?
Thanks,

Droid VNC Server works really well too. Also in the Play Store.
would Airdroid work for you?

Try hooking a keyboard right to your phone. I saw it was a feature you can hook up a mouse as well. Not at the same time though
I personally like airdroid.
I have airdroid but I dont see how I can use my PC to control my android phone. Teamviewer looks like it only has an android controling a pc.

I've never even heard of this being done. You can control your PC with your phone via TeamViewer or Splashtop but not the other way around as far as I know.
I would just plug a USB keyboard to your phone if you really needed to type stuff out.

Here's a Playstore link to TeamViwer QuickSupport, here's a video XDA made about it.
It would really be nice if there was a way to transfer images to the gallery app via bluetooth rather than needing to connect to a computer via USB. Especially on the Neo where the gallery serves no purpose otherwise. How hard do you think it would be to be able to add the devices to the share menu on the gallery app and then integrating with the tizen app? Any thoughts?
I am having a hell of a time getting the sdk to install correctly on Windows too btw!

I agree this would be a huge benefit.
And I feel your pain on the SDK. It took some doing to get it working on my machine at home. Java seriously lacks user friendly attributes

Do you mean transfering images from watch to phone? or vice versa? Cause pics from watch is automatically showing up in my phone's gallery after taking them.
I have the neo so there is no camera on my end.

Thanks for the link.. I will certainly look into it. The issue I am having is not being able to get the wearable SDK to install correctly on my machine. It is just one error after another and it is getting extremely frustrating.

Can this device run Samsung DEX? installed it but can't find it and want to link it to my PC to use like i would with DEX.
Is google doing their own thing with a similar app i'm unaware of?
DeX is a Samsung only feature.

I'm only partially familiar with DEX. I know the basics about it, but that's it. I don't know if Microsoft's "Link your phone" feature has any similarities. Used to be called the "Your phone" app, and before that was called something else, but "Link your phone" appears to be integrated into Windows 10, and I assume 11, too, now.
There's also TeamViewer, and also scrcpy:
GitHub - Genymobile/scrcpy: Display and control your Android device

Dex is a very good PC emulator. It's limited to 1080p. If it were 4k it would be good enough to ditch your PC using a high end Samsung. Google SHOULD work on similar software for their Chromesuck device.

I think Phone Link app from Microsoft sounds like something for you.
