Hello, I need to mirror the note 8 screen to my win7 PC (that doesen't have an HDMI input).
I've installed trhe samsung USB drivers on my PC, I've installed samsung sidesync 3.0 on both the PC and the note, I start sidesync on the PC, I connect the tablet via USB but when I start sidesync on the tablet it look for the PC but it doesen't find it.
The Same if I start sidesync on the PC and I ask him to find the tablet via USB, it doesen't find it. .
Any suggestion is welcome-
Thanks
Can't get sidesync to work either. Dunno if it requires KITKAT (which I don't want since that will limit write permissions to my external SD card unless rooted) I use other apps though.
1) There's mirror op presenter. Free for 5 min per use (trial) then you have to re-connect. Good thing about mirror op is that it's not limited to a pc. with mirror op on another android device or another android TV stick you can can virtually screen cast to anything particularly documents and ppt.
2) If its just a power point, wps office is another option.
3) There is the option to get a chromecast which uses native android screen mirroring.
Hope these options help.
I have my own question about sidesync though. I hope someone can advise me. I read here:
http://www.cnet.com/news/samsung-galaxy-tab-s-sidesync-takes-calls-on-tablets/
that the galaxy tab S can mirror the S5 screen as a miniwindow or app. I downloaded the sidesync and screen mirroring app from the galaxy app store (which obviously don't work even for PC) so these probably won't let me mirror the S5 screen to my note 8. Has anyone tried portiong the tab S sidesync app to the note 8 so we can mirror the s5 screen to the note 8? Here's my planned set up or use:
1) At a conference/convention/lecture
2) S5 on a small handheld tripod fixed on screen/presentation.
3) taking down noted on the Note 8.
4) S5 screen mirrored.
5) When there's a chunk of works I need to quickly take a picture of and attach to notes I just tap on the S5 miniwondow on the note 8, take a picture and drag and drop to the note 8.
Or do any of you have anyother suggestions for this usage scenario? Note 8 I believe is still the best note taking device in terms of screen real estate and size but the camera is well...just not as good as the S5. Any advice would be nice. Thanks. More power to the forums.

Hello everyboddy,
I dont know the correct name of this tecnology, but i will be succinct. I use ES File Explorer(app) to see videos im my other tablets direct from my computer and this always works very smoth, fast and perfect with my other 3 tablets (2 Asus and 1 Acer) and one Smartphone(Sony). This week i bought a Note 8 wifi and nothing works, but only with Note 8. ES File Explorer cannot play (only access) PC stuff, I tried Samsung Link and it cannot do anything too. From my large number of attempts, what i realized is the wifi conection direct through Note 8 and PC works only for few seconds or kbits.
The same action works great with my other tablets. I only can understand there is something diferent with Note 8 that is not allowing me to conect direct through wifi.
The folders shared is protected with password, but I removed password and not work. Again, the exact same steps works fine with my other 4 Androids but not with Note 8.
Ps. Direct conection via wifi with pc have much higher transference rate, that why its best than any other.
Can someone help me? Why Note 8 is diferent? I can explain anything too. Thanks in advance,

I have installed SideSync in my Samsung Galaxy Note 2 LTE and in my Windows 7 computer but it doesn't work properly.
They connect successfully but in the PC I see a window with the proportion of the phone screen in portrait mode and then the image of the phone screen appears appears rotated 90 degrees, occupying all the width of the window in the middle and the rest is black. Also, the blue circle that you move with the mouse and represents the finger doesn't act properly, as if the coordinates were messed up.
I tried with another Note 2 (this one not LTE) with same results. I also installed the app in my Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 tablet and the same happens here. The image appears rotated and the phone can't be controlled with the tablet app.
Hi:
Did you ever figure this out. It just started happening with me as well.
Thanks.
Same here with rooted stock ROM 4.4. 2 N7100XXUFND3 on Samsung Galaxy Note 2.
SideSync 3.0 version shows 3.2.7.1215 and works via USB connection under Windows 7
me too.... was ok the last time.. really hope there is a fix for this.
same here
hi, i have the same issue. I have Windows 8.1 and two phones. Note 2 has the same issue as described by jedikalimero .
Second phone is galaxy S4 and that works just fine on the same computer (with the same cable).
I have found an article about enabling USB debugging, but that did not help.
Any fix to this yet?? funny enough I installed a custom rom on my Note 3 which was a port of a Note 4 and it finally started working but I left that ROM for another flavor and it's back to this stupid issue.. Such a shame..
Same problem here!
Did anyone find a fix for this?
Thanks!
still ni fix
for real? no fix?

You can use TeamViewer. It works great and it comes in different flavours, depending on what you want to do. There is a host app and a server app. The server app lets you control your Android/IOS/Windows Phone or tablet with your Windows/Linux/MacOS PC and the host app lets you control your Windows/Linux/MacOS PC with your Android/IOS/Windows Phone or tablet. And with the desktop app you can also control another PC.
Sometimes I have left my Windows PC turned on in London and have controlled it with my Note Pro tablet or my Note 4 phone from Tenerife, even downloading files from the PC to my phone.
I just want to see the phone screen on the PC, to play some games
team viewer I already try but there is not this option

There wasn't. It is a new feature. you have to install Teamviewer in your PC and create an account.
Then install TeamViewer Host in your Note: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teamviewer.host.market
You have to log in in your TeamViewer account when you run it so your phone can be associated with your account and appear in the devices list of your PC TeamViewer.
The app will also ask you to install an add-on, so allow it and you are ready to go.

There is now also a TeamViewer Host app for Samsung that allows not only screen mirroring but also control from the PC (or Mac). But if you installed the original Teamviewer Host, it probably has already asked you to install this special version and remove the regular one so chances are you already know this
SideSync works but I can't control the note 2 from my PC when you click on Phone Screen, I use my mouse to swipe and try to unlock the phone and it don't work,the drop down menu works only if you click on the the button at the top in the middle ,the button thats hidden with 2 lines in it and can't click on anything,the back and menu buttons at the bottom don't work too.,any ideas..?
Has anyone had any success connecting the Tab s to a pc using sidesync 3.
Both versions sit on 'scanning' finding nothing. I have a note 3 but due to the fact that it's still on JB I can't load sidesync on that to try it out.
I'm using Windows 7 ultimate x64
I believe that Samsung Sidesync is nothing more than bait to get people to buy these devices and not deliver as advertised. I've have never got Sidesync to work properly as they suggest with PC's (more than one) or even other Samsung devices like the S4 and the S5. I have to force the connection to the S4 anytime I want to use Sidesync. Thus far, this app is nothing more than a gimmick in my opinion since it has never worked flawlessly for me.
It doesn't support Tab to PC, read the developer responses to similar comments in the Play Store.
Only supports Tab to Phone, and Phone to PC I believe
Hi ya,
I've found that I can use DEX mode on my TV, without connecting my USB/HDMI cable, even though Samsung doesn't allow Screen Mirroring while in DEX mode !!
This guide is for Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 - I presume it also works on the Tab S5e and Tab S6, though, I haven't tested either of those.
Prerequisites
Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 [or Tab S5e/S6??]
TV or Monitor with Android TV built-in, or Android TV box connected, or Google Chromecast connected
WiFi network to which your Tab and TV/Chromecast are connected
App 'Google Home' installed on your Galaxy Tab
At least one functional finger or ability to use S pen
Set-up
If not already done so, sign-in to your Google account in both the 'Google Home' app on your Galaxy Tab; and on your Android TV/Chromecast
If not already done so, in the 'Google Home' app, add your Android TV/Chromecast
Activation
If not already done so, launch DEX mode on your Galaxy Tab
Open the 'Google Home' app from the app draw [or taskbar if it's already running]
Tap on your Android TV/Chromecast device and select 'Cast my screen'
Optional
Connect Wired/Wireless Mouse and/or Keyboard to your Galaxy Tab
On the Galaxy Tab, turn brightness to minimum, or even use a brightness app to set brightness to below minimum
Culmination
Do stuff
Marvel in awe at the ingenuity, and possibilities
Say something nice to someone that you care about
Thanks, I hope you enjoy

No, it's only screen mirroring when using this method
Sad. However, when in dev settings force experimental desktop is checked, I get a wireless Stock-Android Desktop Mode, with lots of lag on the mouse.
But this seems fixable :-o
I guess it's a different story now for the devices with oneui2.5 which got the wireless dex
connect chromecast monitor/tv
connect phone with chromecast
connect keyb/mouse
start dex
enjoy
is that it?
I think it needs miracast not chromecast

I can Dex from a Samsung 10e to a Samsung 6 series NU6900 without wifi or a hotspot sounds too good be true
Hello guys!
Sorry for any wrong word, not Native American here.
Well, researching on internet, I found a Samsung DeX website, where u can download a APP (for Mac) or EXE (for Windows) to use a Dex mode inside a PC screen (or Mac)
Requirements: Android 10 and a Dex capable device.
Tried to install the Dex on Macbook with Catalina OS (install run fine, without asking for Dev Guru thing). Restart the Mac, and the system can't detect the Tablet.
Anyone tried this too? Any clue?
afaik it only works with S-series phones running Android 10.
I have a S10 with the Dex application installed on Win10 : start the program, connect the phone and voila, Dex running.
When connecting my TAB S4 (835), nothing happens ...

Thank you Marcher for the test. Well, let's wait. Maybe someone discover how to crack this or Sammy give us this ability.
Following. I have the same issue. I don’t get the MacBook recognises my Samsung Galaxy Tab Active 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.
It runs Android 9 (it will run Android 10 on September) and I have heard that could be the issue (although I don’t think so).
May we need to use a special cable?

Hello! I tried with the original charger cable, with a second hand cable, with a USB-C to USB-C (MacBook Pro 2018 with 4 USB C ports) and nothing. My TAB runs Android 10. I use the TAB to take notes on meetings and lawyer school, so, the possibility to use on MAC to sync will be great. Tried to use Evernote, Onenote, etc., but the Samsung Notes it's more organized.
I think it's a string thing inside the Dex app. Like on detection, change some string, etc.
Let's wait for Sammt or some XDA "Einstein" to help us.
Samsung support answered me on twitter: the ability to run Samsung DeX on PC it's only for S Series. No plans to run on Tablets. Too bad. Thanks guys! Let's wait if some genius solve this to us!
Cya!
