Hi
i have desire s dock station (non oryginal) and i d like to have autorotate home screen or start dock app when my phone is in it
so how does desire s detect dock?
does it have magnetic lik motorola droid or sth?
or it cannot detect and i have to lunch manually the app?
any ideas?
i use [ROM] [AUG 26] Desire S Gingerbread 2.3.5 with Sense 3.0 {v0.3} {EXT4 FS}
Use tasker. It can launch dock app started by usb in or / and other state
i read aboaut it but can it for example lunch sth when i plug usb AND phone is landscape (read from gsensor) ??
Yes, it can do that with all things you specified. I tried this with Tasker before a while. Buy tasker or download its trial from home page...
how!?!?!
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Modern-Tech...W8I4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1314535235&sr=8-1
is it only photoshoped or is it possible to rotate home?
its not possible to rotate home screen sense.
But with Tasker, you can launch dock mode app, if you dock your desire S
im testing tasker at the moment but when i found that from my link !!
it is possible desire z rotate home screen when you open keyboard so it is possible
the question is hot to activate it !
it is possible to rotate, there are threads about it. the dock detection may work like in the good old palm days: a certain resistor value on the usually unused 5th pin in the connector. depending on the valye the device will know if it is a dock or cable or whatever.
ok got a dock myself, and indeed it's annoying if the screen does not auto rotate/auto launch dock mode. as menstioned before usually a resistor in the connector is responsible, but from what i found on forum, a value of 45-49kOhm shopuld do it. should, as it does not. it launches the car dock instead, not the home dock. however: 0-10 ohm will do basically all you need to do is connect the 4th pin (which is not connected at all) to ground. if in the home dock app the checkmark is set to auto launch then all is done. put the phone into the dock and the screen gets rotated and dock app launched autmatically.
seems like resistor values are different even between htc phones, there's a sensation thread with some resitor values and it seems not to work for my desire s
nice
but i build myself "case" for landscae dock to made it portrait (with LEGO bricks) and it works ;D
i ve done it becouse i found another disadvatage of dock app
i use bt headset and i couldnt dial up number withoud closeing dock app! so i had to just make my dock portarait
sry for my bad bad english

Hi, i'm also interested in this!
Maybe you can write (for someone who has nothing to do with cables) how you did that?
Well, you take a piece of wire, connect one end to pin 4 (soldering will be the best opition) and the other end to the ground, which is very handy at pin 5. that's it.
of course you need to open the case, how you do that depends on the case itself. i had 4 screws at the botom.

I really like it ..
there are som infos, that you can use apktool to decode Rosie.apk, then edit the manifest.xml and changing "nosensor" to "sensor". recompile, upload to phone and it should rotate.
i tried but the rosie.apk i got back was about 60% of the original size, and simple exchanging the encoded xml did not work

Thanks for the great info. But the results of my experimentation has given me disappointing results. Check it here:
Desire S may NOT or will NOT receive native DOCK support
Hello,
as I was looking for this kind of topic information for a long time and searched through many various topics that are by nature really sounding similar, I though I'd share my experiences on using my mobile as home PC replacement.
This thread is intended as a guide to those that want to do the same. As an idea to those that never considered it and as a collection of issues and workarounds found in the daily use.
Again: This thread does not cover anything like Android ON a Desktop Computer but using your mobile phone as a desktop computer.
In those regards, I'm using one or the other software that is what I found doing its job, but I'm very open to improvements and ideas.
Setup:
My phone is a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 (2,2GHz quadcore, 3GB RAM, SM-9005) and Android Kitkat (Slimkat custom rom) runs on it. USB is MHL compatible.
Other Hardware: Aten CS533 a physical keyboard->Bluetooth Adapter, such that you can use your desktop keyboard and mouse on your Mobile. Which is how I'm writing this text by the way.
If you already know everything or don't care for the rest, read the second and the third post.
Daily driver?
As some custom roms describe their status.... I'm using it as daily driver. I have to rethink many things - the UI being the biggest part. Automation helps to get the connection and screen rotation things off your head.
The phone is being charged while I'm connected to the screen as the Adapter wants to have a power supply.
A big change in UI is that the touch based OS is not working too well with the mouse wheel. In this thread I'm writing I cannot scroll up using the mouse wheel. I'll scroll up the page only. I have to press and hold the mouse (=touch) and pull the content to where I want it.
Deleting characters works as well, but here rather slow. It is better to use CTRL+Shift and cursor buttons to highlight words.
You may also forget about marking text with the mouse as you're used to.
You have to press (=touch) a word and then pull the text markers to whereever.
What works well is the CTRL+X, C and V.
Currently I'm logged into XDA and writing and correcting this text with my external keyboard in firefox.
Which brings me to the most important thing... APPS:
Also there are many differences.... I'm using firefox because it happily accepts keyboard commands - CTRL+T opens a new tab, CTRL+W closes it.
Firefox has one issue which I would bring to the developers... When opened, the shared screen is blank. You can see it on your phone, but not on the TV. Workaround: Switch apps to some other app in foreground, switch back to firefox.
Many apps are better than their web-counterparts. And actually faster. But they often cannot do exactly the same, be aware of that. They offer some features and make it easier to use, but some features you may have been used to, are not available. Example: in the ebay app I can't print out shipping documents.
Roughly mentioned - printing:
There are printing apps included in most OS, you can find them in the store. Mine works fine and I can print on my network printer (don't ask me about USB-printers, I doubt, they work well...).
From my office applications (those accept CTRL+P) I can directly print on my printer, once found. That takes some time, because I switch my printer completely off when not in use.
Chats:
work fine. I can switch, use the mouse to get to the statusbar and open the chat notification, switch back to XDA using ALT+TAB.
Emails:
I was using thunderbird and this one I really miss. I has an unmatched search function. It cans earch globally and it can additionally filter text. Very quick. I have one email account since 13 years. Some emails collected. Here I have troubles.
I want to be able to see all emails offline. This can be difficult as many mail applications don't really give you a choice how many emails to download. K9 and the related kaiten offer this. They can download all mails. However.... This makes the operation in that account slow. Searching doesn't work well and deleting mail leads to app crashes. I'm working with it, because I didn't find a good alternative. Not many people possibly care for that though.
So you see, there are upsides and downsides.
+ Upsides are certainly the purpose driven apps, you have plenty for any kind of purpose. Even you can change the OS layout (If you know linux this is possibly normal anyways )
+ You save money and energy
+ You always have your PC with you
+ One UI everywhere
+ Beter than anyone else you know how to connect your phone to a beamer and do a presentation
Downsides:
- It is a mobile PC. It is using its resources much more efficiently than its desktop alternative. Because it doesn't have many. I wouldn't dare doing video encoding here.
- Surfing is slower - sometimes it seems that is actually because of my phone. I've seen other phones with weaker configurations performing faster than mine. Dolphin seems to perform much faster than Firefox.
- Rethink your input
- Desktop Applications are not possible. If you have one specific type of application you'll have to find an alternative on Android or forget it. Games, Photobook applications, Thunderbird, Blurays, are all kind of difficult...
Additional notes:
There are some interesting projects like Andromium OS that want to change the UI appearance, like a launcher that resembles the desktop Windows/Linux with a start menu. At the current beta state, I personally like my old way better, but it is looking good.
Your choice to accept the downsides. I mostly do.
Sorry for this long and splitted post, but it seems like XDA has a maximum letter count when posting but the post warning doesn't tell you so.
This is the second post, to show some details of the journey...
From the beginning:
Why?
I had a desktop PC, in fact a tablet PC, 18" and was satisfied with it. Linux ran on it quite fine. Over time I noticed that I normally use it for surfing. Not even for something useful. Most things I was using on the PC I found I was using in parallel on Android. For example, ebay, banking, sometimes the browser, funny additions like xkcd, dilbert, chats... List goes on...
Since I know my phone supports MHL, that is using an adapter to get video mirror from phone to TV over HDMI I was looking for a keyboard replacement. Also I heard before keyboards can be used on android.
Soooo I forced myself to actually to that. I sold my PC and while ebay was running I tried to get the needed hardware.
Doing:
In fact it was very easy to find the MHL adapter. I have already a cheap one with a long cable, but sometimes the screen turns blue. Normally that happens when the screen is on, and the device is idle. I thought of buying an original Samsung Adapter.
There is actually no difference, using the Samsung or the cheap one. It seems to be related to the Apps which are in foreground. Here, it is firefox, no issue with it. These days, I don't see that issue anymore. It seems that it is not related to the power supply. Anyways it worked.
A problem was that I want to use my expensive silent keyboard and not buy another bluetooth keyboard. As you may know that if you search for android hardware keyboard you'll find possibly a million ways to use your phone keyboard as input method on the PC (what the heck?). There are a few breadcrumbs leading you to something useful. Once I found a keyboard adapter that translates only my keyboard to Bluetooth, but since my mouse was futile then, I didn't want it. Same reason why I don't want to use OTG. And I'm already using the one USB port on the mobile for the screen mirroring.
Later that evening I found my current solution, working rather good, the Aten CS533. I small docking station like thing that can get two input devices to bluetooth which I can connect the mobile to.
Be careful when using it: My original Logilink mouse didn't work well with it. Scrollwheel moved the pointer up and down. Any mouse movement moved the pointer down, left and right. Sicne it didn't move up, that was, well pointless. I changed the mouse to some generic Dell mouse and this works fine.
Experiences:
SCREEN: Using some automation software normally keeps my phone working well; since the screen on the mobile is always displayed readable on the TV, meaning not upside down or so, the screen if in portrait, fills only the middle third of the TV. To use it properly my automation software says IF connected to the adapter THEN turn on screen rotation. The phone normally lying horizontally. Since this phones resolution matches the TVs, 1080p it looks pretty good.
Look and feel:
It is Android, a touch based OS, unlike Windows or Linux. So your touchscreen is not imitating a mouse, but your mouse is imitating touch input. My mouse buttons all work as touch. Clicking means touching. As far as I know there are no shortcuts here. To start an app you have to do the same actions with your mouse as you would with your finger on the screen. From the home screen open the app drawer by the button, possibly swipe to the app by clicking, holding the mouse button and moving the screen accordingly.
The keyboard is a different thing. I don't know about others, but here are some shortcuts.
The ESC button is my home button, the context menu button maps the phones menu button.
Surprisingly alt+tab work in Android as task switcher, even though I only have the last 8 apps in there and the behaviour is a bit different from the PC. Alt+tab to open the menu, another tab to switch to the second app. And there is some waiting time of possibly half a second.
The keyboard works fine; page up/down, end, pos1, del, backspace, enter work fine. CTRL, alt, Shift are normally mapped. You can use TAB to change input fields as well.
Missing so far is.... the "back" button. I have not found an equivalent of the back button on the keyboard. Since my phone isn't far away, I normally press the phones back button if I need it.
As you see, operating works, even though you have to get used to it. On the other side, it didn't take me too long...
for more details go on with the third post.
Input:
A word on input is required. Keyboard input. What? Again? Well... this is about the keyboard apps you're using. In my case I use swype and I like it most. I hate all software keyboards because their interpretation is weird and their grammar interpretation is often wrong, especially in german.
Swype however recognizes the external keyboard and displays an extra line on the bottom of the screen with the word suggestions I'm typing. Since I'm using a real keyboard I don't want corrections. Since I use the phone often without keyboard, I don't want to switch swype off completely either.
I have another issue which is that I'm typing korean from time to time and up to here I hadn't even thought about it. Swype can do that but still I didn't want to have that extra correction bar. Plus... no idea how to switch the input. The swype input switcher is missing since I'm only having the correction bar.
Quick idea was that I know a very small korean keyboard app so I could possibly switch from swype to the other, while connected to the CS533. Didn't work so well since I still have no way of switching other than the settings - but at least the correction bar is gone.
Here I found the app "External Keyboard Helper" which was written for exactly that. It seems like some people already did what I'm doing, so I wonder why you don't find so many descriptions. Anyways... that app allows you to write normally and change layouts using keyboard shortcuts. Here I'm using CTRL+Shift*space to change to korean layout: 안녕하새요 (Hello)
Anyways... that app allows you to write normally and change layouts using keyboard shortcuts.
I haven't completely looked through the app, but it seems you can get in some keymappings.
So I could map the "back" hard key from the phone to the otherwise useless Windowsbutton. My audio app is rewinding with a keyboard keypress and using shilt+alt+m I can start my mail app.
So now via automation I'm switching the input method to the external keyboard helper, when connected to the CS533 and back to swype when the connection is lost.
This was the last post. Hopefully it is useful for some that are trying to do exactly the same and get sick of those PC remote control apps...
:good::good::good::good:
And this works to. Partly a bit weird to connect.....
But:
From mobile via
OTG
To an sd/hdmi/usb adapter
Hdmi to tv, sd not tested and from
USB to another active usb hub:
The hub connects Gamepad, keyboard and mouse to the android. This is like a cable spider with one plug for the phone. A diving station.
Nice!
Best experience I had with the Dockingstation from Samsung EDD-D200.
Here the phone charges upwards while in use, I have 3 USB ports and Keyboard is recognized well.
HDMI only works at max [email protected], or [email protected] Using apps you can rotate the screen when docked.
Biggest difference is that I REALLY have a docking station. leave HDMI, USB plugged and then just connect the mobile. It should then directly work and the screen is shared to the TV. This is now much more comfortable.
Word of advices:
-for that docking station you'd better have a 5.3V power supply. 5.0V will not make USB or HDMI work.
-there is for the Note 3 another interesting docking station by Samsung, EE-MT800. It has an ethernetport and USB, flexbile connection cable. But the docking station only seems to work on a few tablets, which is a bit sad. It didn't work on my Samsung Galaxy Note 3, even though the MHL3 Adapter from Samsung works flawless ([email protected]).
I used a knife to alter the stand if that docking station so I can place my mobile with the protection cover in it. Works fine now.
Don't get the idea that there's a nice cable in the station which you could extend. It is an extension of the PCB and it is fixed.
I commissioned to Samsung why their docking station ee-mt800 is only compatible to a few tablets. And why you would want to connect a only stand type docking station to a horizontal TV of monitor, resulting in a vertical picture.... And 2/3 blank screen...
Hello Community.
As any of you who did some tests know it is in early state. I am wondering is it not to popular topic? Since I have switched from Galaxy S8+ and I was using Dex OS everyday, it is the feature I miss the most.
I think that it also gives a lot of possibilities for anyone who travels a lot. It is very nice to have a "desktop" in a hotel room on which you can answer emails, or brows internet in desktop mode. All you need is only keyboard, mouse and usb-c to hdmi cable and of course your phone.
I have just tested new Desktop Mode on Android Q(OnePlus 7 Pro) and what can I say?
Not to much.
And here is my question. Does anyone know about some development which is likely in progress or maybe there is any option to port Samsung's Dex OS to other phones?
All I have found is only one guy: Daniel Blandford:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fj2P0omAkek
and what he is showing looks very promising, but still it is only one guy?!?
My dream and ideal solution was razer's project project Linda
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5gKu-T13vXs
which was promised to be released along with Razer Phone 2 but in the end was killed.
There is some other solution to lapdocks but for me not to ergonomic in terms of mobility.
I believe that Android as a daily OS is possible and I hope that it will go live soon.
Same here. I tried it, have Bluetooth mouse and foldable keyboard, and really liked how snappy it is! However, there's no way to adjust resolution or font size, which would be the first step toward something really usable. I would like to test the limits of any solution, whenever available.
I discussed with Daniel Blandfort and he told me he currently stopped development of his Flow Desktop because he could not raise any interest and get enought Patreons to keep going unfortunatelly...
Maybe you can use Sentio desktop on your oneplus ? I think it looks better than the current raw android 10 desktop.
Something looking really neat I found is Keydock. It's basically a keyboard-docking station to use desktop mode.
Mod edit: Link removed!
There's a website (Mod edit: Link removed!) where they try to get enought suscribers to launch Keydock on kickstarter
Sentio was a good find and worth trying. However, it didn't work for me. Also, it seems that work on Sentio stopped. Last update was someone last year.

Flow desktop looked awesome, it's a shame if development really has been discontinued.
I wonder how it would have worked, would it have been a custom rom or an app

There is new project named Nexdock. Looks very promising. It's basically a laptop without CPU, GPU. All is based on the phone connected via USB-C cable.
http://nexdock.com/touch/
Here is TK Bay testing this with OnePlus 7 T Pro McLaren
starts at 6:22
But as he mention on his video, OnePlus (Android Q) is still not ready as a full desktop mode (resize open apps, etc), it looks more like basic android desktop.
NexDock with OP 7T Pro McLaren Edition
About a week ago I received my new Nexdock Touch. Great build quality, looks similar to Macbook Air.
Only issue I have found, is a problem with connection and starting Desktop Mode. It sometimes start charge the phone instead lunching Desktop Mode. But when connected, the phone wont charge anymore.
Looks like there is a order in what to connect first, Lapdock with cable, than phone with locked screen.
What works:
+ touch screen
+ tauchpad
+ sound
+ most of the buildin OxygenOS apps
What don't work:
- dimming phone screen, to save battery
- charging the phone while connected
- some other/additional installed apps (like ES Explorer, All in one Toolbox)
- Nova Launcher on extended screen
Some of the issues can be fixed with Taskbar 6.0. This will add additional taskbar on the extedned screen, will fix the issue with dimming phone display to preserve battery.
Taskbar 6.0 with some extra features explained here.
When Camera app is open on the phone, everything slows down, phone is laggy and slow. Word and Excel seems to be in mobile mode, as all is very large on external screen.
This mode helps to improve security, as all data is on one device - mobile phone. This is handy when I'm working in the car, or I need to send email with invoice or even play PUBG
Overall, Desktop Mode is amazing experience, it shows how powerful OnePlus 7T Pro is.
Please add thumb up at OnePlus Ideas 2 for expanding Desktop Mode!

Do you have Nexdock Touch? If so, I have the same problem when connecting cable to Nexdock and than to my phone.
Desktop mode won't turn ON, only I have charging in progres with external screen connected, nothing else works.
So to solve this issue , I need to disconnect the phone by the time charging is started. Than plug the cable back. This may take a moment and few times to unplug and than plug back. Until the charging of the phone won't start, than if you leave it plugged, all start to work.
This must be an issue with Desktop Mode in development state.

we probably have a different type problem
because my problem isn't going to desktop mode but to make the keyboard,track pad and touch working
I get the taskbar desktop mode every time i plug it in but i cant interact with it :|
I hope you don't mind me asking but
what oxygen-OS version are you?
have you installed any custom roms/kernels on your phone?

This means you have OP7 Pro, right? Not the OP7T Pro
Could be an issue with development state of your Desktop Mode. Try different cable or check if your phone is compatible with connecting keyboard/touchpad through USB-C port.

it should be the same as yours because their have the same type of hardware
i dont really have another cable so i cant tell but i do see similarities with people on the internet about Oneplus phones not working with it for example check this youtube channel
i have the same problem as him
ill try installing your firmware it might do the trick

I have very similar issue. First thing after connecting my NexDock Touch, phone starts to charge, than there is no way I can use keyboard, touchpad or touch screen. No any key on the keyboard works, so no dimming the screen, no volume, no caps lock. Only there is a desktop on external screen.
So I need to unplug the phone and connect it back. After few times, with locking the phone and unlocking, connecting the cable and than disconnecting, Desktop Mode starts to work with all peripheral coming with NexDock Touch.
But than, the phone wont charge anymore. So it's only charging the phone without interaction (external keyboard/touchpad/touch screen) or no charging with everything working fine.
Another issue is Night Mode - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tx3ZqPJeoPs

Hi guys !
Got an iPega 9023 controller which I use on a daily basis in call of duty.
Connecting and setting up the controller through their app (ShootingPlusV3) and mapping the gamepads buttons on a screen overlay is fairly simple & straightforward and I am able to use the controller as intended.
BUT the problems start when I connect my phone (Huawei P30 Pro) either through a HDMI adapter or use the Wireless Projection mode to cast my screen to another device.
As soon as I cast my screen the overlay no longer matches the actual screen and appears to be tilted at 90⁰.
I even tried using another app that could enable me to set the rotation system wide, but the problem persists.
I have attached some screenshots for a better understanding of the issue.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated as I am pretty sure I am not the only one encountering this problem and would love to be able to use it while casting on a big screen.
Does anyone know if it's possible to extend screen /second screen with the S22 ultra? I know the Samsung galaxy tab s8 can be used as a second screen for PCs. I want to have my S8 ultra be a second screen for my S22 ultra. Is that possible?
Reason being is this. Since my phone has 5G I want to run a remote desktop thru my phone on a second screen with the tablet.
I have read it about 4 times and I'm still wondering:
why don't you activate Mobile Hotspot on your phone and use it with the tablet?

Good question. My mobile hot spot for t-mobile is capped at 4gb.i literally reached the cap within 30 minutes. Now this throttling at an excruciating speed of 600 kbps lol.
EDIT: So I did some more research crisis averted! Ended up looking up ways to by pass the tethering cap and ran into Every Proxy app. Now this will hold me over till they release the 5G version of the S8 Ultra.
Dunno if it's helpful, but found this

How's the upload speed using the Every Proxy app? My home internet's upload speed is crap but I was wondering if I used my S22 ultra's t-mobile hotspot with this app when I want to backup my files to the cloud once in a while if this would be be an option. Las time I tried this- like you I hit my hotspot cap in under 45 minutes. Can you tell us what upload speeds you're seeing with your t-mobile network and after once the Every proxy app is included in the chain?
Thanks!

Does anyone know if it's possible to extend screen /second screen with the S22 ultra? I know the Samsung galaxy tab s8 can be used as a second screen for PCs. I want to have my S8 ultra be a second screen for my S22 ultra. Is that possible?
Reason being is this. Since my phone has 5G I want to run a remote desktop thru my phone on a second screen with the tablet.

Yes, it's possible. I discovered a way about 6 months ago, I just put it out on the internet recently. Whatever device you want to act as the second screen, swipe down from the top twice where you find the quick toggle button options. Find smartview. Click it. Then click the 3 dots in the upper right hand corner and goto settings. Then goto about smart view. Then tap on the word "smartview" about 7 or 8 times, and a developer menu will pop up with some extra options. One being "start second screen". Click to the left of the toggle. Scroll down and choose either video or drawing mode. Then goto your phone pr whatever other device you want to project, goto smartview, and you'll find the tablet in there. This has worked both ways with the note 10+, s22 ultra, tab s6 lite and tab s6.

Nice find. Thanks! Although I'll probably not use it that much, it's good to know.
I tried this. Here are my results.
S22 Ultra -> Tab S7 - Worked ok. The screen ratio was off and you need to make sure the tablet is same orientation as the phone. The screen mirroring is almost identical to how it works when mirroring to a TV or smart monitor.
Dell Inspiron desktop (w/2x27" monitors) -> Tab S7: Much better experience. I recommend the faster (gaming setting). The smoother setting has more lag, The text is smaller; which can be harder to read for older people who need reading glasses (like me).
Microsoft Surface Pro 6 -> Tab S7: Similar experience as the Dell. When set to the faster, gaming, setting, there is almost no lag. I am typing this on my SP6 with the desktop being extended across to my Tab S7.
I can see where the OP is coming from. For me, I probably wouldn't use it as a second screen for my phone. There are use case scenarios I would probably do this with my SP6 though. The biggest limitation for me is the text is harder to read.
@Wilazn
I can now see how this will work for you. If you have the keyboard cover for the Tab S8 Ultra, you can use @Joeyd13186's method to connect your S22 Ultra to your Tab S8 Ultra using DeX. I have the Tab S7 with the keyboard cover. I followed @Joeyd13186's instructions, but instead of using Smart Mirror, I used DeX and had my S22 Ultra connect to my Tab S7 as if it was a second (wireless) monitor. Now here is the really cool part! I could use my keyboard cover just like I was using it normally. The resolution is a not an exact match, but it is very much practical. To add icing, your S22 Ultra can still be used in its normal function.
Now, I have this working while connected to my home network. I will test it in the wild and report back how it works outside of my home network.

I figured it out. Follow @joeyd32405's instructions to allow your Tab S8 Ultra to be a second monitor. Then on your S22 Ultra turn on DeX and set it to project to an external wireless monitor. Your Tab S8 Ultra should pop up as a choice. Select that and you're off to the races.
I am typing this on my Tab S7+ that is being used as a wireless monitor by my S22 Ultra. Some key things. You will need either the keyboard cover for the Tab S8 Ultra, or a BT keyboard and mouse. I'm not sure a wired keyboard and mouse will work.
The keyboard cover is a little hokey. The backspace key does not work. To make a correction, I have to arrow back using the home key and then use Fn-Backspace to get delete the mistakes and type the correction.
Otherwise it seems to be practical. I'm using my S22 Ultra's non-Hotspot data.
Oh and you can use your phone normally because it is projecting DeX not your phone's home screen.
I can see how this can be useful. The truly only downside is the hit your battery life will take.

Have you ever had the issue where you try and connect to the S8 ultra and it will connect, I have tried every option on the s22 and I can't get it to connect to the S8 ultra, via second screen, DEX or Smart view, it tries to connect tablet screen goes blank then just goes back to tablet home screen and phone says cant' connect.

Are you rooted? People who have rooted their devices have run into problems using DeX.

It's not hidden. It's linked to Knox. There is a thread within the S22 Ultra forum talking about DeX and rooting.
