Hi, has anyone tried to make Huawei Desktop mode to work with Samsung DeX station? I needed a USB hub to hock up my keyboard and mouse along with my TV via HDMI.
And I happen to have the DeX station for my work phone, Samsung S8+.
BTW, does anyone know how to make Huawei Desktop mode to work with Windows laptop like the way Samsung DeX for pc works?
Huawei Desktop Mode works fine from the P40 Pro via from USB-C hub (with HDMI, ethernet, USB ports) to my monitor 2560x1440
Unfortunately there are no resolution settings with the Huawei Desktop .. but there are resolution settings with Dex
I do not have a Dex Station to test.
I am not sure about Huawei Desktop on a laptop.

Thanks for your feedback, I may get myself a USB-C Hub to try it out then. Any recommendation?
BTW, I did try out my P40 Pro on the DeX, and it worked albeit not 100% perfect. The sound output to TV was muffed to a tiny volume by default. By toggling it between Auto and Mobile phone to Display device mode managed to bring back the volume to normal.
Here's a few screen shots while testing it:

I would research on amazon and find a USB-C hub that supports Dex .. then you should be ok for it to work with Huawei Desktop Mode.
I bought x3 and luckily x1 was successful.
is their any way that we can extract the dex mode apk from huawei?? i am sure it will also work on my phone if it one out so can y guys see for any apps which u may think is responsible for dex mode experience on huawei phone, u can use https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.olalab.appbackup this app to take backup of that app and share...

Yo guys ive got the chinese version of the vivo nex s - i tried to connect it to my TV with a HDMI dongle. Didnt work. Didnt find a setting to configure it... can you help me with that? OTG was enabled.
Don't know about the HDMI but you can connect it via WiFi by enabling WLAN display found in settings. And when using an app that can be viewed on your phone in landscape mode, it'll also show on TV in landscape mode.
Vivo to HDMI not working
I have the international version and can confirm that connecting the Vivo to my TV using HDMI doesn't work. Same dongle, cable, TV connected to a Samsung Note or MacBook works fine. The Vivo is not detected and doesn't project. Not sure if this is hardware related or just a software problem.

Hi,
I bought the TOTU 11-in-1 Hub through amazon
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07M8HLGBF/ref=ppx_od_dt_b_asin_title_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1#customerReviews
because i wanted to use the dex mode with a nice screen etc with my s10.
Only unfortunately i did not get the monitor activated, it installed some dex software after the first time
I connected my s10 with the hub but I don't get any output to my hdmi monitor.
I tried this with the hub powered and without the hub powered ..
Anybody has any idea how to fix this problem?
best regards,
TreMain
update: Ok I have DEX working now on the 3rd monitor it works smooth. Why it did not work on the other 2 monitors ( 1 tv and 1 pc monitor) I do not know
but I will keep you posted
the hdmi wont work
Hi i will show you all on how to use Dex on your Samsung phones that support Dex without any accessories.
All you need to do is make sure your rooted and use Es File Manager or FX File Manager to navigate to system(root)/system then edit the build.prop
ro.build.characteristics=phone change the phone to tablet
once you have changed that save it and reboot then go to settings and disable your lock screen has there is a bug where it just reboots your phone so you have to use a custom lock screen like Hi Locker that's the best one i have used.
once that is done scroll down your notifications and click the 3 dots then button order there you will have Samsung Dex just put it in your notifications and then click on it and then there you have it Samsung Dex working on your phone
You will notice some apps will act like there on a tablet here is the list of apps
PHONE
MESSAGE
CAMERA
if you have any problems message me on discord T0PGlitch3r#5273
This makes for inefficient use of the screen/phone. Just spend the $30 and get yourself a USB-C hub with video out and use Dex as it's meant to be used. When I am on the road, I patch it into the hotel tv. I carry a mini wireless keyboard and mouse. Boom. Laptop replacement w/o the bulk. No root required.
After Android 10, we can use DeX mode with USB type C only. Cheers
Thanks for the nice tip!
I Love dex mode.
This tip is good for TV Samsung with mirror screen.
It Is my case :fingers-crossed:
But, if anyone needs to use dex wireless with any TV Brand

Hello Leon. My Samsung Galaxy Tab Active Pro is about getting upgraded to Android 10 on September. Do you mean with that Android version you just need to plugin the USBC to USB standard and it will work? At the moment I connect it to my MacBook using Samsung Dex and it doesn’t recognise my tablet... [emoji20]

Greetings!
and sorry if I'm doing anything wrong here I'm just wondering, I was amazed with the samsung dex app you download from their site
connect your phone to pc via a usb-c cable and that's it you get a desktop
the desktop/window mode thing I guess is already existing to be used when you connect your phone to a monitor via type-c to HDMI
but is there anyway I could copy that mechanism to my windows pc ?
I've been searching for a while and really didn't get any results
Thanks so much in advance to anyone who would try to help !
Get a usb c to hub adaptor from the interwebs. Download taskbar and second screen from playstore. feels like crap, throw everything to trash.
Dex app
I use the OnePlus 7pro and the sentio app for my nexdock 2

A7 is not listed as officially supported device for Dex. I read about this feature in a few software updates, but could not find a reliable report that anyone got it working.
So it might not work although it's started in the changelog.

I have used Dex on Samsung Smart TV.
You have to enable Desktop mode in Developer option, found almost to the bottom, also enable windows free form, next to "Force Desktop Mode".
No wires needed but USB OTG for mouse, keyboard or both wireless or USB HUB in the OTG.
