Question Unable to use desktop mode? - Huawei MatePad Pro (2021)

where can i find the button to change to desktop mode? i cant find it even using the find tab at setting

This is really unfortunate and disappointing.
I bought it too thinking it has that feature.
It is indicated in the huawei website that it is deprecated in the 2021 batch/models.
It is "replaced" by the multi window function

Any way to disable ALT+TAB/WIN+TAB on Bluetooth keyboard in ICS?

I'm trying out the Touchpad as an RDP client for my work Windows machine. With a Bluetooth keyboard and iTap RDP, it works very well, but one thing that's annoying is that Android/ICS traps certain key combinations instead of sending them through to Windows, e.g., ALT+TAB (Symbol+Tab on the HP Touchpad BT keyboard) and WIN+TAB (Home+Tab on the HP keyboard). Another one that gets trapped is WIN+E which should open an Explorer window but instead tries to launch the Android email client. Does anyone know if these Android keys can be disabled, ideally just while the RDP client is running, but worst case scenario, across the board?

I tired this and could not get it to work.. If you have got it working please post.. I have a TF101 and with the local keyboard I really want a way to use the alt tab / windows key tab options.. but both go to Android local... If anyone has a way of getting around this I would love to hear it!
ALT TAB locally really is not required when you have the nice button for recent apps
go to /system/usr/keylayout/ and see which .kl needs to be changed and where. theres a few to look at but you should find one that matches your input device.

As far as I can tell, it's not a keylayout but rather a CyanogenMod-specific enhancement to make Android work more like a desktop OS when used with an external keyboard. The problem is that it acts as a system-level override for those keybindings so that they're not passed to applications such as remote desktop clients. I've considered trying AOKP to see if it does the same thing.
I'm interested in getting a Nexus 10, especially if someone releases a keyboard cover similar to the one for Surface, as a lightweight laptop replacement, especially when used to access a Windows machine via remote desktop, but I have such a heavy dependency on ALT+TAB in my day-to-day habits that it would be pretty annoying to have that key take me to another Android app instead of switching Windows apps. Not a show-stopper, but definitely an annoyance. Hopefully standard Android 4.2 doesn't do this...
I coincided installing Linux on my tf101 as I was so upset about it.. however there is not a easy way... it would be nice to see a option to disable it for in custom roms..
I don't think 4.2 will change the behavior at all.. sadly

I know this doesn't help many folks here, but the kind folks at Jump Desktop somehow figured out how to circumvent Apple's restrictions on key events in iOS and got full keyboard support going when accessing Windows and Mac machines via RDP and VNC, so that's what I'm using very happily now from my iPad 3.
I have created exactly what you need
Hey, all, I don't know if you'll see this, but I figured out where in the android code it intercepts this and fixed it with an xposed module, which you can grab here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/keyboard-utilities-t2872579/post55350032

Also, as far as win-E and related shortcuts being consumed, that's handled by an android setting called quicklaunch, which is present in the settings app, but there's no easy way to access it. To get to it, grab nova launcher or tasker or anything else that can launch app's activities directly, then find the quicklaunch activity under the settings app. This is where you register and unregister shortcuts with the windows key and the search key. Long press on the shortcut to clear it. By default, Win-E and a few others are put in for you.
Workaround
A bit old question, but i was looking for an answer today, and did not found anything that matches my needs. Not sure if it will satisfy You, but i got a little workaround. Actually you don't need to do anything with your android device, the only thing you need for this is AutoHotkey software on your windows machine + one little script running.
How it works? It remap left ctrl+tab to act like alt+tab. That way you can use ctrl+tab(or any other combination you want) and android has no problem with it.
Script content:
LControl & Tab::AltTab
Hope it helps, it worked for me.

so this might be turnoff to some but you are on xda. we need a magisk module or something that can do this for us.
if you can disable system wide keyboard shortcuts, it would be great. and by shortcuts here is what i mean (look at the attached screenshot). in my case. i have my rog phone 3 connected to a usb c hub that has usb, hdmi, etc. (please do not tell me about the rog phone 3 and how it might have this built in because i have a custom rom installed and im sure you can do this in almost any android version there as well because its a stock rom)
my case is i use shadow (cloud gaming/computing) and so i remote control into a windows machine. i would love to disable those shortcuts so that my keyboard inputs are not interrupted by androids shortcuts.
if i alt tab or press the windows button. i dont want the android shortcuts to trigger.
please let me know if you found a solution but this most likely is achieved through adb or root. lets do actual investigation.

[Q] S-tablet 3.0

Recently a new application that allows you to use the Galaxy note 10.1 as a Wacom digitizer was released in the Play Store, the application name is S-tablet 3.0.On this site you can find more information and a link to download the application:
h t t p://s t a b le t . c o .k r/ (remove the spaces)
According to the site will have to install the application on your note 10.1 and after installing a dock expression on your PC in order to use the application.The application allows us to establish a connection with the PC and can control it from our device, although the application is focused on the use of Photoshop because it can detect the level of pressure in addition to the display of our 10.1 Notice will see shortcuts Photoshop tools.My problem is that after making the instructions on the website of the application, I can not make the application work and establesca communication with my PC, so I invite you to test the application and see if it works and if someone achieves haer the application to work, post in the forum or instructions steps you took to achieve it.
Bellow is te Play Store link of the app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ssm.spen10&feature=more_from_developer#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEwMiwiY29tLnNzbS5zcGVuMTAiXQ.."]https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ssm.spen10&feature=more_from_developer#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEwMiwiY29tLnNzbS5zcGVuMTAiXQ..
I'm able to establish a connection(it says 'wireless connected') between tablet and PC but there is no movement of the cursor or mouse. The website is in Korean and I can't understand anything. Right now it's unusable.

The download links doesn't work either. Both on play or your website. Not on play because it seems it isn't available for my device. But other 10.1 apps are.
Arrrgh
I reaaaally wanna see this working.
I too have installed it. It gives me an error as soon as I hit connect after typing in the ip address displays on the S-tablet desktop app.
Out of curiosity did either of you guys notice a little off screen tab that displays a pop in icon of a kind of brush stroked S, as well as the regular interface? I almost missed it but it seemingly has no function.
It's be really good to have a usable version of this though I'm sure you'll agree.

When you say you have tried it could you tell what operating system you tried it with?
OS....
I used it on Vista OS.
Looks like the dev updated the site last week.
The s-tablet pc program isn't fully working on 64bit windows. Looks like they're trying to create a java based app to overcome this issue.

Huawei power saving mode

Lately I've been frequently using the "Power saving mode" on my Huawei P Smart (2018) updated to EMUI 9.1.
I'm going crazy trying to figure out how to make a quick shortcut, but I can't find a solution. I've already searched on Google, on Youtube, on Play (via some shortcut creation apps), but nothing found.
From the drop-down menu I did not understand why Huawei has provided only the Ultra power saving that, objectively, how many frequently use or how much it requires a fast connection?
The only way seems to have to go into settings->battery->power saving mode.
Do you confirm that there is no other way?

I didn't know those shortcuts: but were available on EMUI 8, not on EMUI 9.1 (I checked now on two different devices).

Desktop mode

Hi. I've been searching about the android Q desktop mode. So I encountered two major problems. 1- for some reason I can't use the Free form window mode, i actually can, but when I reboot the phone, it disable itself."I think it is related to the moto app launcher in some manner" 2- my only option is to use my Chromecast as a monitor, but unfortunately the Chromecast only works a mirror and not an secondary screen. (It works fine with the emulated secondary screen). Sorry if my text were unclear in some manner, i am not a good English speaker and I did not used Google translate to write this text.
Edit: i can also use scrpy in linux to share my screen

[OOS 12] [OP8-IN2013-C.16] Unable to start Google Assistant driving mode

Hi,I was using the AndroidAuto app on my OP8 (my car has bluetooth but no AA compatibility) it started as soon as the phone connect to the car bluetooth and everything worked great.
After updating to OOS12 I knew that AndroiAuto app for smartphone would be gone, but it should be replaced with the driving mode of Google Assistant: problem is, I can't find a way to start it up.
I read tons of article, all of them nearly identical, on how to start the driving mode, but nothing work for me.
Most "interesting" thing is I don't have the exact menu as found in those articles: I don't have some specific voices in GoogleAssistant menu or GoogleMaps menu.
Any suggestion???
Since there is a way to officially add a shortcut to GoogleAssistantDrivingMode (this is what I'm talking about: https://9to5google.com/2021/12/02/assistant-driving-mode-shortcut/ ) is there a way I can ad the same shortcut using Nova for example?
I tried add NovaActivities widget, pointing com.google.android.apps.gsa.staticplugins.opa.morris2.drivingscreen.DrivingScreenActivity but it only open the support web page https://support.google.com/assistant/answer/10217503
