I cannot run Samsung Dex on MacBook- SM-T540 - Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 General

Hello guys. I don’t get the MacBook recognises my Samsung Galaxy Active Tab Pro using Samsung Dex. It does recognise the device using Android File Transfer for instance, instead. I have tried installing and te installing both softwares.
The Samsung Chat Support told me I need to buy the Samsung Dex cable, but as far as I know it is an USB-C to HDMI cable, so the connection would not be so “clean”. Actually I have seen Samsung Dex devices working on MacBooks without such a cable.
Any ideas please? I’m desperate because I need it for my work.

Your device doesn't support Samsung DEX. It only works on high-end Samsung devices from the Note 8 onwards.

[Galaxt Tab 2] problem with bluetooth

Hi to all,
I have got a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 and I try to connect to a bluetooth barcode reader.
Pairing works, but when I use the proprietary APP that manage barcode reader,
it asks me again (and continuously) pairing PIN, without connect!!
Proprietary APP is compatible with Android 2.2 and newer, and support the SPP (Serial Port) Bluetooth profile.
I found on Internet that some people have problems to connect a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 to another device that uses
SPP profile....
Anyone know if there is a bluetooth issue in this tablet?
NOTE: I tried to connect barcode reader whith a Sony tablet S.....works correctly!!!!
Thanks!

We had the same problem and we solved it switching to insecure sockets to connect to the bluetooth devices.
I have the same problem with my bluetooth keyboard. Works fine on an Ipad though..
Have the same problem with a hp mobil printer via bt.
Works on s3 phone.
Samsung suport says its a diffrent bt chip in it. Print app dev working on debuging itnthey say.
Hi, on which model of Samsung Galaxy tab you tested? Have you come up with any solution for supporting Bluetooth SPP on Samsung Galaxy tab 2?

Did you ever get this figured out? If so could you tell me what had to be done. I bought hubby both the GT-p3113 (refurbished) and Bluetooth Keyboard and Protective Case for Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus P6200/P3100 They are not pairing and I don't know what I am doing wrong.
As you probably have guessed this will be our first use of bluetooth with anything. Nope don't even have cell phones with a bluetooth headset.
Any help I can get would be greatly appreciated.

Is it possible to make tab 4 7.0 support otg?

As the title implies i was wondering whether my tab 4 7.0 support otg?
I bought an otg 3.0 usb and i couldn't open it..

My Tab 4 opens using various OTG cables and drives.
I have an OTG Cable which I use for connecting a PS3 controller and playing N64 games at my work with others.
My Meenova Dash Micro opens up with a standard Samsung File Manager pop up showing my files and connecting an sd card reader to a standard OTG cable works the same.
I would expect maybe the device itself perhaps is not compatible.
I have noticed with one in my store, the Wifi Only Version seems to be the one that has issues with OTG. The connected versions seem to be open to OTG. Personally that makes no sense but it seems to be the same with the Galaxy Tab 3 as well.
Can you specify the version of your tab 4? My tab 4 version is sm-t231
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
No, the 7.0 version of the Tab 4 does not use a Snapdragon like the rest, it uses a Marvell chipset which does not support OTG. I suggest you get one of these which works perfectly with the 7 inch Tab 4 (and unlike most other portable devices that let you access USB hard drives via wifi it does support SMB in addition to it's own app). Note that you must save the wifi password twice before turning it off or you will need to do a hard reset of the adapter (not the tablet).

Samsung S7 mirrorlink support Appradio 4

Hope someone could help me with this. I have been using an iPhone for the last 5 years and in such I have a Pioneer Appradio 4. I am trying to see if I could make the android jump and purchase a S7 edge.
My Appradio supports mirrorlink as well as Appradio live which is garbage.
What I have been reading is there is no Mhl / hdmi support on an s7. However mirrorlink is available on the phone. Is anyone able to confirm that the S7 will connect via mirrorlink on my Appradio? I have been looking everywhere for an answer but most of the stuff is for the older galaxy phones. Sorry if I'm a bit ignorant to searching android stuff I've been chained to iOS and CarPlay for too long.
*Side question-- with Miracast do you lose all connectivity to cell data?
Thanks for all the help in advance
If your Pioneer Carplay head unit supports also Android Auto you can use this method for connecting.
Miracast doesn't interfere with the phone running data connections (wifi or mobile).
Unfortunately it doesn't support android auto. Which is pretty lame.
I dont't know about your head unit, but generally Mirrorlink should work also with the Samsung S7 Edge.
Thanks for the info now my only question is will it work with ARunchained reloaded once this is set I'll be ordering my Galaxy and getting off this iOS nonsense

For that app to work it's required to root the Galaxy S7Edge.
Anyway, if you're not used with Galaxy rooting, Knox and related possible Samsung warranty limitations, you can find these information on the forum. Moreover, to be able to root you need to buy the Exynos version, not the Qualcomm 820.

Okay good I found it on the website it has the exynos processor. Once it's rooted and I change everything I should be able to run this app then? I messaged Area51 hopefully he will message back regarding it. Thanks again for all the info and help.

Yes it works
I can confirm you that Galaxy S7 works with mirrorlink and the AppRadio 4. The sound and video quality are simply perfect. I have been using MHL before with Sony Xperia and ARU, mirrorlink is better. The only issues are the restrictions that mirrorlink implements in the navigation, no recent apps none slide notifications, etc. Hope some friend could mod "Samsung Mirriorlink.app" to break freee these limitations but also in the current situation i recomend you to use mirrorlink with Galaxuy S7 because as I said, the stability and quality are just perfect.
appradio 4 mirror link

so it will only work with rooting your s7 edge? if so how do I root my s7 edge? I to want to use mirrorlink with the sph-da120
I Just installed the SPH-120 and I can only get my Galaxy s7 to connect to blue tooth. Tried the developer mode with USB debugging, Switched to MTP configurations, and both USB ports along with multiple APPS. and I cannot get it to connect.
When I connect to the second USB port, Both the phone and radio attempt to connect but the phone screen shuts off and the radio says incompatible USB (original cable).
Hi how do you connect wich cables you use to get it working like you say?

I just created an account here so I can add a reply in case anyone struggles to get MirrorLink to work. I got an SPH-DA120 to work with my Samsung S7 Edge. I went through the same process of connecting the phone, seeing the connected message on the phone screen, and then the SPH-DA120 screen says "Incompatible USB." I thought it was an error but it was simply my failure to understand MirrorLink. You have to first get a certified MirrorLink app on your phone and then choose the home button (or whatever it is...looks like a Windows 7 start menu) and your certified MirrorLink apps will show up there. When you choose the USB/Ipod2 source the HU will always say "Incompatible USB." In my case I used RockScout, which then gives you access to everything on the phone by selecting a "Choose Source" option--that mirrors your phone's screen and provides a gateway to everything on your phone.
Maybe this process is common knowledge about MirrorLink but I spent way too much time googling this and trying random things to get the phone to connect. Something else worth noting is you need a high quality USB cable. The HU seems fine with USB extensions (even cheap ones) but it requires a high quality cable to connect to the phone. Some work, some don't. Not even all Samsung cables work.
One more thing...I actually contacted Pioneer's customer support to get assistance with this. To my surprise they replied to my initial email within an hour. That's impressive for customer support at a large company like that. Admittedly I figured out that the USB cable was the problem shortly after I sent the email but the quick response from them was nice.
Can somebody confirm if a non rooted Galaxy S7 can MirrorLink using rockscout while in motion using the 7000nex soft touch bypass? Trying to mirror every app and function while in motion using the nex. This includes YouTube, Google maps, chrome etc
Great information here. I just started driving a Jeep with appradio 4 in it . I have a galaxy s8 plus. Any advice what to do?
Still stuck with my note 8. Stock android Mirrorlink works but very limited. I tried with rockscout, button savior, LG mirrordrive app etc to screen mirror my phone but n way. The only fault is with Messenger pop-up showing nicely on my car screen. So I tried rooting my phone with magisk and hide my root but the Mirrorlink app is not working anymore. When connected to my phone it says authentification not valid... and the database is no more the same when I want to add some apps in pkgnames...
Hi,
I have problem with mirrorlink pioneer sph-da110 with galaxy s7 edge when I connet via usb I see mirrorlink in appradio. I click in mirrorlink then I see Lg Mirrordrive an I choose this after that I have dark screen and nothing else happens. Somebody can help my where is problem?

Galaxy s8 and new dex pc app

Hello, wonderful community! Was wondering if it's currently possible to use the new Samsung DEX Windows 10 app and an unrooted T-mobile Galaxy S8 with Android P, One UI 1.0, and a USB cable?

Was also looking for a solution to make my Galaxy S8+ to work with my Windows 10 laptop too.
Hi!
Sadly, Dex for PC is not compatible with our Galaxy S8. I think it is rude to make it only available for Android 10+, as the Galaxy S8 will not receive that update. So, there are only a few options you guys can try:
1. Wait for someone to make a One UI 2.0 Rom based on Android 10 (which I think wont take long from now on)
2. Buy a Dex Station/Dex Pad/ HDMI to USB-C Cable and connect it to a monitor to use DeX
3. Switch to a Galaxy S9/S10/S20 (would not recommend that, if it is only for DeX)
4. Try SideSync or another application if you only want to mirror your phone screen on a PC

How to enable DeX in Galaxy s8 ?

Hi
I seem to remember my s8 having the ability to enter DeX mode few years ago, now that I actually need it and got a dongle for it doesn't work.
When connecting to a Windows 10 with DeX application It only offers file transfer and charging and other standard Android USB connection options (when connecting an s20 to the same PC DeX fires up immediately)
When connecting to a USB-C dongle it recognizes the USB memory stick and Bluetooth mouse connected to it but won't output video to HDMI (again, when connecting s20 to the same setup, all the connected devices are recognized AND Dex is activated and video signal sent to display through HDMI)
And even the DeX/Screen Mirror options from the settings menu are gone (settings>connections>more connections).
Has this something to do with Samsung ending support for s8?
I just did a hard reset to factory settings and still nothing.
