Hey everyone,
Has any of you guys been able to use the MacBook Pro's built-in physical keyboard or a Bluetooth connected keyboard (connected to the MacBook) with Samsung Dex on Mac?
I was told it would work, and customer service and tech support only suggested me to reset to factory settings.

Just a funny idea and just thought I would share
I would like to get a keyboard and a mouse connect to my Galaxy S and use it instead of my desktop PC just as an experiment.
So my first question is what keyboard and Mouse work?
I'm guess they would need to be a bluetooth or could I get away with a usb hub?
regards,
jippie
Logitech wireless Mouse MX620
Logitech wireless Keyboard Pro 2800
Both work perfectly using the usb lead that comes with the cell phone and the dongle that comes with the mouse and keyboard.
Hello.
For the last two days I have been trying to make my OMEGA Wireless Gamepad (a copy of the PS Dual Shock controller) work on my Galaxy J7 2016 (6.0.1).
It connects to the phone through Bluetooth as a input device no problem but it won't work further than just that.
I even rooted the phone to try some stuff out but to no avail.
It stays connected but none of the buttons do anything (not in phone menu, not in PPSSPP, not in a bunch of keymapper aps).
So I was wondering is there a way to get this fixed without me having to buy an Micro USB to USB Adapter and trying that out.
Thanks for reading.
Hi
I have Galaxy Ace 4 (kitkat 4.4) with broken lcd. The screen is blank but touch should work. Earlier something was visible on screen and as I remember touch was working.
Moreover, the system had some failure due to permanent "application xxx stopped working" and factory reset should be made.
I would like to use this phone as wifi hotspot. Is there any way to access the phone after factory reset? I have found application like Visor to control android via usb on pc. But developer mode has to be enabled and I'm not sure if system should be rooted.
Thank you for any help
If you can still see the screen, but the touch screen does not work:
Buy a cheap USB adapter so you can connect a PC keyboard or mouse (probably a USB C to USB A adapter). You can buy these adapters from China on eBay for $ 1 (but you may have to wait a month until they arrive in the mail. In this case, buy from a seller in your own country). I suppose you have a keyboard or just use the keyboard and use the arrows to move and select things, so I think the Windows button will become the home button. Press Enter to select and Escape to return. Or you can simply point and click with the mouse. The problem is that not all phones support "OTG", so you may not be able to read the adapter. If so, then I think you have no other choice. . But most of the stores themselves definitely support 100% OTG, so it should work normally. The problem with Bluetooth is that you need to pair it first, which requires touching the screen. Therefore, if you cannot touch the screen, using a Bluetooth mouse or keyboard may not work
If you can't see the screen, but the touch screen works normally:
Unless you change the screen, don't think that there are many things you can do. Android phones that were previously compatible with MHL allow you to use a dongle to connect it directly to HDMI. But the cell phone no longer has that function. If you have a Samsung phone, I think you can buy a Samsung Dex docking station, which will allow you to connect it to the screen via HDMI. If you can install applications on your phone, you may be able to control your phone from your computer using a screen mirroring application (there are thousands of different software that can do this, but you need to install applications on your phone). Same as Google Chromecast screen mirroring. .You need to access the application on your phone to perform this operation. Therefore, there is nothing you can do except replace the screen. If you are lucky and your smartphone supports some type of HDMI dongle adapter or some type of desktop docking station with HDMI output, you can view the phone's screen and access it.
Hello,
I have a Dell WD15 docking station. Unfortunetaly, connecting a Google Pixel doesn't do much (only external mouse and keyboard work, not the external screen), even with desktop mode enabled in developer options.
Are there phones you can simply connect to a docking station and that show a real desktop (not only the rectangular phone display in bigger) on the external screen? The goal is to use it as a desktop system.
I was thinking about a Xiaomi Redmi Note 10s, can someone maybe test it or has tried it?
I am aware of Samsung Dex but I don't want a Samsung Galaxy S
Thank you
Hi all does anybody have a solution, Asus ROG 5 & 5s has key mapping features that allow you to operate games with an overlay for mouse & keyboard also controller
I have an Asus controller that works fine,
Unfortunately the mouse and keyboard only works with the: Asus professional dock ( they stopped making these and I am unable to find one for love or money)
Also the desktop dock for the ROG 3 doesn't support the ROG 5 & 5s...
If anyone has a solution that can get the in built key mapping working I will be happy to contribute a generous donation,
With older phones I have rooted them and run apps like panda mouse pro, or bypassed developer options USB debugging with a Bluetooth work around like flydigi.
How every I need a wired connection and would love to use the inbuilt mapping...
Does anyone have a solution or a work around?
Thank you developers and enthusiasts

Hello, maybe because of the time you don't want it anymore, but I managed to unlock the mapping feature without the dock.
As here in Brazil technology is backward and expensive, I recently bought a rog phone 5s and was disappointed to see that the feature was not enabled. All the videos I watched from the phone before buying, I don't remember hearing that it only worked with exclusive accessories.
I tried to contact asus but they don't pay attention to these cases. So I started to analyze the system and found a way to enable the feature even without having any device connected to it. So I connected my generic usb-c hub with mouse and keyboard and everything worked as expected. I was able to map the keys and mouse without any problem.
First we need to enable "USB DEBUG" in the phone's developer options.
Now we need to install "ADB" on the computer and then plug the phone into the usb port and trust the device. With adb installed and the device trusted, we can now run the following command:
"adb shell setprop sys.asus.donglestate_GV_PD 2".
The property value can be either 2 or 3. This "identifies" the Asus Dock and tells the system that it is connected. Depending on the phone model, there may be a variation of the property, it can be: "vendor.asus.donglestate_GV_PD" or "sys.asus.donglestate_GV_PD", in my case the second option corresponds to my ROG PHONE 5S phone.
The command needs to be run again in case you shut down or restart your phone.
Contents of my script:
#!/bin/bash
bash -c "adb shell setprop 'sys.asus.donglestate_GV_PD' 2"
My phone has Android 12 and everything works normally.
It doesn't need root or anything like that, it just simulates what would likely happen when plugging in the Professional Dock.
Now you can use your dock or usb-c hub with keyboard and mouse and be happy.
This is also possible to do directly on the phone using "Local ADB" but it is a bit more complicated.
