Link to Windows - Phone screen - Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers

Hey Everyone,
So I've managed to get my S10+ linked to windows 10 but I don't have the option for phone screen (screen mirroring)
Both phone and laptop are on the same WiFi network, I've tried deleting and re-adding too but still nothing.....
Anyone else have this working?
Thanks!

I am not sure, but I think you have to have a special tool/app to get that to work or maybe even a different firmware. Maybe someone else can chime in on this that knows for sure.

Do you have Windows version 18995?

So I went ahead and installed the windows build and ran into another snag. The computer must have bluetooth, it doesn't work over wifi.

All feature needs the companion app on your phone. However, the recent Windows 10 allows the phone screen feature only for the Note 10. Messages, Gallery and Notification works on S10+. Cheers.

Screen mirror feature works perfectly on my s10+

As for linking to Windows. Did you try Samsung Dex?
See screen from my Windows 10 PC linked to S10+ by USB-C

I didn't have a good experience with the Windows 10 link using Microsoft's app on Pie--my desktop would regularly lose its link with the S10+ and getting sync to work again was sometimes so time consuming I eventually gave up on the whole thing.
On Samsung's current Android Q beta the Microsoft Android app comes pre-installed as a system app with no icon. The controls for linking to a computer are now built into the phone settings and so far it works way better--whenever notifications or messages showing up in Windows 10 seem to be out of date manually refreshing them takes a few seconds.
The screen mirror function which didn't work at all for me on the Play Store version of Microsoft's app (I bought a $10 Bluetooth USB dongle for my desktop) wasn't compatible with my connection but on the version built into Android Q mirroring the phone screen with Windows 10 now works perfectly and no longer seems to require Bluetooth.
I tried the in development function to make and receive phone calls on Windows 10 and didn't care for it and turning it off requires unpairing the S10+ Bluetooth connection with the computer. After unpairing Bluetooth the screen mirror function with Windows 10 still works so it apparently uses the internet connection now.
Since Samsung's Android Q is in beta they might change their minds and remove the built-in Link to Computer functionality but hopefully they won't.

New Official Panel: Evernote

New Panel from SE: Evernote.
Eh.. Links and description would be good?
Anyway, since you won't, I will.
Remember everything! Evernote turns your mobile phone into an extension of your brain:
Take notes, snap photos, draw sketches, and record audio. Evernote keeps it all in sync and always available.

not really my cup of tea but it's better than no new panels at all ...
thanks for the link ...
Sounds like a limited version of footprints, without the fun bit, the maps!
Hmm, that actually sounds usefull. Well, at least, if it weren't for the ultra slow panels.
I'll check this out in a sec.
[Edit] Heh. I like it. Although the INK NOTE is the only one i can imagine myself using, its pretty neat. Thumbs up for S.E. this time!

I use Generic_SE rom with the official R2A update. I tried 3 times to install Evernote panel but it stopped at 50% every time, then you don't hve a choice to cancel it. You must softreset youre device.
It doesn't work for me!

It's not, Evernote is first and foremost a noting program. There is also a PC client. It's like OneNote Mobile with ink support.
Can you tell me where these notes are stored?
I mean I never ever used this software before, is it storing it in the internet/server?
I checked it out and it's pretty sweet. (the panel-free version, of course) This seems like a great option if you want to work on a document both on a PC and on the X1 without all the hassle of syncing/attaching/etc. One unfortunate thing is that is seems like once you close an "ink" note, you can't re-edit. (But I have Screenwriter, an awesome handwritten note program)
it actually updates the panel image too! is this a first?

The Sony Ericsson panels are updating the images as well. If you change the layout or background the images on the panel manager change as well.
ive been using the panel free version of evernote for a while now.. it is pretty cool... very handy...
gonna check out the panel now.. sort of like dashwire.. i dont like the panel, but i like dashwire... i have a feeling i will have the same thoughts about evernote...

yeah but if you take a picture with the camera and send it to evernote, then go back to the panels screen while it's in view you can see a small version ( thumbnail ) of your picture on the evernote panel.
Hello to every one.
I am quite a new user of Evernote. I created and account and then I installed this panel. While i was connected through USB I did not have any problem to connect with the Evernote server.
Today I tried to connect through HSDPA to add a new note but there is an error while I am trying to login

Is your phone connected with the USB cable to your computer? I had the same problem, but once I removed the USB cable it connected instantly.
I've had the same problem. Dunno if you guys are still looking for a solution, but if you are; you can find it here.

This is a BIG DEAL for those on Republic Wireless.
Once we received the 4.4.2 update, outgoing texts would completely disappear (from Motorola Connect) whether you sent them from the phone, or from Moto Connect.
For example: If I sent a text to my friend saying "hello", it WOULD get sent, but the moment Moto Connect refreshed, the sent message would disappear. This made an entire text conversation look like a one-way conversation and was confusing and irritating. ("Did I already reply to that message or not?!?!")
With the new update, ALL messages, sent or received are displayed whether they are sent from the phone itself or from Connect.
This was a known issue on RW phones (because texts are sent through their unique hybrid WiFi / Cell system), and they acknowledged it and claimed to be working on it.
This update was the solution!
I recommend that all RW users update to the new versions ASAP.
Thanks OP

I'm not sure what this means, "Now located in the Apps Tray." I don't see anything new in the Chrome launcher or my Windows 7 notification area/tray. There is an item under the Google Chrome icon in the Notification area/tray which takes you directly to the Moto Connect settings, is that it?

the big deal is that u can now do a phone search from the app in the computer. so if it is lost in the house or anywhere for that matter you can ring it from motorola connect. this is new functionality to this service.
some people may consider it a big deal that you can now have an app icon available so that you don't have to scroll through the settings to get to the program.

Yeah I forgot about the ring feature. That is a nice feature. I haven't used it much since updating this evening, but I just sure hope the performance is improved. Before it worked about 8 times out of 10. Which is pretty good, but when I send a lot of texts and than a random text doesn't go through, it's kinda annoying.
Motorola Connect still doesn't work for me even with this update.
Oh well
Not anything big but one or two nice touches. Still hit and miss for me regarding the connection between my phone and the app.

They are already making changes to meet the Android L design which is, overall, all green.

to start i don't use this so i am not sure if this is what they mean or not. BUT chrome has an app tray. mine is located on the favorites bar on the far left and it says apps. It is where chrome apps are located. I would presume what they mean is that the app tray in chrome now has a connect icon you can click on to launch it. chrome in the past couple months added this app tray i believe where app icons are located. previously to launch an app that was not running you either had to go to their web page or open up settings and launch it. now there is an app tray. you can also put an app tray icon on your desktop as well as have one sitting in your bottom right corner of windows for easy access to chrome apps. I could be wrong but this is what i would assume they meant.
Well the new update is working flawlessly for me.. Earlier it was not connecting and even if connected, it wont get updated automatically when some new message or call is received.. Now the chrome shows the updates within 5 secs and replying is working too.. :thumbup:
Sent from my Moto X using XDA free mobile app.
Cool update but I keep this off my home computer because I find my phone stays awake a lot with connect. I wish it was more passive

RWatch M26 and iOS 8

Hi guys,
I had a look for such a discussion but did not find sucha thread. I have the Chinese Rwatch M26 smart watch and iPhone 5 with iOS 8. Is it possible somehow to connect it to my device and get the push notifications on screen for messages, Facebook, email, etc. It works with Android phone, tested, but is there a way to do this with an iOS device? Currently I can only dial, take calls and that's it basically.
Thanks a lot in advance for your replies!
Do you have any idea? I found some apps which say they send all the notifications to a bluetooth device but do not seem to work.
Heard it is possible to get m26 to work with ios. I believe you need to jailbreak then go to Cydia. There you will find app to push notifications. Forgot name of app
Hi there, thanks for the reply.
Yes, I found BTNotificationEnabler on Cydia, but it does not seem to work with iOS 8. The menus are different and the Bluetooth options do not appear anywhere... Ano other options for an app which does this?
Best,
Rangel
Connect iPhone and RWatch M26
Hi, you need to install SmartBluePlus from the App Store and connect your phone with that app.
When you connect, it asks you to pair. When this succeeds you will get notifications you also get on you iPhone's lock screen. Good luck
I need help!! I bought a M26 Rwatch... When I plug it in to charge it keeps saying "charging error" and won't charge anymore.. Does anyone have any ideas??
application does not work on ios 8.0.2

Quick connect unable to find chromecast

I'm unable to find my Chromecast (2nd gen) using Quick Connect. Quick Connect does find several Sonos speakers and a neighbor's TV (which is not very helpful since I don't know the neighbor )... I've understood from several articles elsewhere on the net that Quick Connect on the S6 could connect to Chromecast. Is there some setting that I'm perhaps not seeing that I need to toggle (the S7 Edge is my first Samsung phone)? I've tried reconfiguring the Chromecast on my 2.4 and 5 ghz networks, with the phone connected to the appropriate network each time, to no avail. I'd rather be able to cast the screen quickly via Quick Connect than use the Chromecast app. Connections via the Chromecast app are also unreliable by the way.. Any tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
I'm also having the same problem I used to do it easily with my S6 Edge but S7 Edge andust S7 not finding my Chromecast.
Why are you using Quick Connect for Chromecast? As long as I'm on the same Wi-Fi network I can send things to my Chromecast. It just works. No need to "connect" each time I want to use it.

Because casting via the Chromecast app requires extra clicks. Open Chromecast app, open hamburger menu, click Cast screen, click Connect to Chromecast. In principle, Quick Connect should allow me to swipe down, click Quick Connect, click my Chromecast. Anyway, it's supposed to work, so I'd like it to work

I have a Galaxy S6 and until yesterday it was running Android 5.1.1. Now it's running 6.0.1. Before the update Quick Connect worked with my Chromecast (2nd Generation) perfectly. Now it does not recognize it.
I assume your S7 is running 6.0.1 as well.
Was this by design? I hope not and that a patch will be created SOON!
I also hope that a patch can be written to fix this issue.
I'm used to being able to cast / stream to just about anything using my HTC phone.
I'm a first-time Samsung user and, although I love the S7 Edge, I find this a major frustration !
Fortunately, there is an easy enough alternative. ES File Explorer has a Chromecast add-on that you can choose to add the first time you attempt to cast. It works very well.

I haven't come across any information that states one way or the other. I know it's a Samsung feature, not Google (Android), but your guess is as good as mine at this point.
Under developer options in the settings menu (turn on by going to About Phone and tapping Build Number repeatedly) there is an option for Authorizing Wireless Display Devices, but I haven't had the opportunity to see what it actually does yet. By default it's turned off.

There were some apks (ChromecastFrameworkService.apk, RemotePlayer.apk, SecEmbeddedServerService.apk) that was responsible for this functionality that was removed in marshmallow.

I've tried to flash these APKs from the Lollipop ROM, but after that my S6 failed to boot. Didn't tried to debug to see whats going on (maybe installing manually instead of flashing resolve this, I don't know).
For those who wants to investigate, here (XtreStoLite Deodexed Aroma Add-on Package 2.4a) is a package that has these APKs. Maybe you guys are luckier than me.

Since I wouldn't know even the first thing about debugging, there's little chance of me figuring anything out except that it appears I won't be able to get this functionality back anytime soon
Hopefully there will be someone out there who wants to investigate (and find a solution) :laugh:
I love the S7 Edge, but I really do miss HTC connect and it's ability to connect to anything.
Samsung's Quick Connect is really a step backward and Smart View is useless as well..

How does one that is not technologically minded do this?
If anyone of you here still need some guidance on how to enable and use chromecast here it is.
Go to the playstore and download the chromecast app which can be found here:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.chromecast.app
You can add the chromecast app as a shortcut to your home screen or to the "App Edge" feature.
And or you can also download the Google Chrome browser at the playstore which can be found here:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.android.chrome
When you see the chromecast icon on top of the chrome browser's title bar click it to start chromecasting.
Quick Connect has nothing to do with chromecast and will not connect to the chromecast dongle.
Good luck,
Have a great day!

Yes, I've understood that the problem is that Samsung has crippled this functionality in their 6.0.1 version of Touchwiz. I haven't found a way to get the functionality back despite posts in several different forums. The Google Cast app does allow you to connect to Chromecast, but the process is more cumbersome than casting via the quick settings menu. I hope someone finds a solution for this problem.

The note 9 doesn't need a physical dex dock, just a type c to hdmi cable. I have one plugged into my TV and a keyboard that connects to 4 devices over bluetooth. Phone screen acts as a mouse.
im really hoping i can get this to run on my s9 plus. They have released the img file already, i just need to get ahold of the apk for the dex/linux app.
I registered but the registration page talks about a free trial version of linux for dex, but what does that mean? that after will be paid?
The website won't allow me to sign up. It keeps saying that something went wrong. Anyone else have this issue?

Just tried it,to see if I could replicate your issue:
No problems here,got an immediate confirmation email,stating a link for the app will be sent soon (11/12/18 or thereabouts,I'm guessing,per the signup page).
If you're on mobile,perhaps try on desktop PC with any ad blockers & such turned off (Ghostery/AdBlockPlus/etc...).
Another thought came to mind,check to make sure when you enter your gmail address,leave off the @ gmail.com,as it's already there.

If your trying this on your phone make sure your on the desktop site. It's in the settings of your browser. That's the only way I was able to get it to work. I had the same problem you had until I switched that.

Oh, where can i download it?
I already registered but still don't get any apps and or links
Image can be downloaded for several days here https://webview.linuxondex.com
but we should receive the application soon (today) in the registered mail.
Just get the download link however i am using S8, that play store not available for me to download...?!
Same here... even though I'm using a Note 9 device which is eligible, it isn't showing for me... it says app not available..
Got the confirmation to dl through mail but i cant actually dl anything View attachment 4640557

If anyone can download the app, could he/she please post the apk here? Would be greatly appreciated.
