Anyone get it to sync with their mac

I downloaded the android mac tool and it still doesn't read my tab 10.1. It reads and connects my xoom but not the galaxy tab.

Not compatible with Mac (yet? ever?). I've actually had to go dig an old XP HDD out of storage so that I can adb and transfer files back and forth.

that sux balzzz

No luck for me either...
Doesn't work for me either. After doing the 3.1 update for my LE Tab tonight I tried the Android File Transfer program with "usb debugging" both enabled and disabled but with no luck either way. I even tried re-downloading the Android File Transfer app from Google but it's the same version that's been up there since April.
Any Mac folks have a workaround besides using the painfully slow ddms debugger interface or doing network-based transfers (like smb or ftp)?

I think you need to use this. I haven't tried it yet though.

we did doesnt work thanks

Hasn't worked for me either. I'm assuming that Android should the update to the app ready by next week for the Tab's wide release but that's wishful thinking. What about the Xoom and Transformer owners who also got the 3.1 update.:-\

Wait is this for real... A friend of mine and I just got ousr at the NY event, but a friend has to ship them to us. Will it not work with Macs? My friend has a Mac book... This would be terrible news...

At the moment, no it does not sync with Macs. Th Android File Transfer app hasn't been updated yet with the proper "drivers" to sync with Mac, but it should get updated soon. This isn't a "forever" type deal

I picked mine up yesterday, no syncing. Kies doesn't even recognize the device yet. Works with windows 7 though.
Interestingly, Adobe Lightroom is able to find the tab on my macbook.

I would just keep checking here:

They had a Mac version that I downloaded before they took it down and it works. Not sure exactly why they took it down. Sorry I didn't save the dmg file.

i'm on the same boat, my xoom was working fine with SL, but my SGT doesn't work

I have been using FTP (SwiFTP on the marketplace) to transfer files until samsung or google get this fixed. I find this to be a ridiculous problem to be having.

Also, I tried Samsung Kies BETA for Mac and no dice.

@NoLeftTurns You're welcome! Glad your enjoying it! Kies for Mac will be here soon, we'll keep you posted! =) ^Sabrina

I'd prefer Kies-less entry honestly. (sorry for the pun...i had too ) I've been using ES File Explorer to connect to my NAS device and grabbing files from there. Far from ideal, but it could be worst

I just downloaded the latest version of kies and it seems to be working fine on my 2011 macbook pro... anyone know why the GT won't charge when it is plugged in, tho? i just have a red X over the battery...

I think i read somewhere what the SGT cant charge it with the usb cable connected to a computer port, my SGT indicate the same X with my MBP.
The kies app with the least samsung drivers works fine, but is bad i cant mount the sdcard like a hd storage.

Because the Tab requires more power than your USB port can provide.

stupid question - how to USB?

Hi guys,
Just noticed.. how can I connect my 10.1 to Kies via USB?
I just see the option Connect Kies via WiFi and I cannot see any USB connection settings anywhere.. please help me I'm dumbfounded..
I can easily connect my Samsung Tab 1st gen thru Kies or even mass storage
Thanks!

a lot of views but no one knows how?
come on guys, how are you transferring your files? everyone is doing it via wifi?

in windows just connect the tab using the supplied cable and it shows up when you click on computer as a drive
Assuming you have the latest version of kies installed you should be able to plug it in and it will work at least mine did when i last tried it

Or no one has no clue why you're having a problem, or doesn't use their Tab with a Windows machine.
It's unreasonable to expect a big response within 2 hours when you post at 2:30 AM Eastern time - there's a pretty high percentage of United States residents here.
adb push/pull works fine for me in Linux for small stuff, the USB host adapter and a thumb drive work great for the large.

Disable usb debugging in settings

Continuum a poor excuse for Desktop to Phone connection, just want mymobiler back...

Windows 6.5 had this function, simply connect via wifi or USB (through activesync) and have 100% control over the phone from your mouse and keyboard. It was great, perfect and enabled no need to ever pickup my phone through my work day.
Continuum blows compared to this.
Do you think we will ever get an ability to RDC to our phone and do this full feature support?
No, SMS through Cortana, via my PC is not what I am talking about, and that sounds ridiculous as well.

You can connect a mouse and keyboard to your phone using USB OTG and Bluetooth. Is that what you're talking about?

Sort of. In the past, and currently on Android or on iphone via jailbreak, you can remotely control your phone through a PC. This gives a person the ability to continue to use the same mouse and keyboard as their desktop, answer calls and reply to texts, etc. I understand Continuum was never intentioned to do this.

This tool do at least what you want via usb. Wifi hopefully follow soon. Continuum is a function which is completely different from your needs. It has great options.

I'm pretty sure that continuum works with wired mouses and keyboards as well as wireless ones. The wired ones require the continuum dock, but it's free right now before sometime in january with a lumia 950 xl.

I use continuum with a 12€ usb c to hdmi adapter and a BT Keyboard with touchpad integrated and it works pretty good. Also the hdmi adapter is very small. This package is 40 euros good invested money.

Wait. With Continuum you are not using a PC at all?
Its to give you basic PC OnTheGo features.

With redstone (Anniverdary Update) you can control your phone from your pc, if you have a touch screen (for example, using a Surface Pro) you can use the touch screen connecting your usb cable.

Sold my dock to cash generator lol, £15, bloody gimmick rubbish.

With Anniversary Update you can use the Connect app thru wireless to connect to your phone ( Actually you your phone to the PC) and control it with the Keyboard and mouse of the PC. If you don't want the continuum feature you just have to go in the display setting/advance and select to mirror screen.

I too miss the functionality offered by MyMobiler. It is available on Android but not W10m.

Wireless Dex UI

It will be awesome if someone can mod Samsung Note 9 to display Dex UI wirelessly (i.e. using wifi mirroring technology).

Personally, I'm against it because the lag will just ruin the experience... But, well, experiencing it myself can change my opinion

Um OK.

I have the Microsoft wireless adapter (Miracast) that I use with my Surface Pro 3. I also occasionally use it with the Note 8, mostly for watching videos. The experience has been great and the lags are infrequent. Certainly not a dealbreaker.
I think it will indeed be cool if Dex can be done via Miracast. I use couple of Dex apps (Dex Max and Desktop Hub) and it will be interesting to find out what their developers think. Maybe it will be possible to add a toggle to the apps that trigger Dex mode instead of screen mirroring when the phone is connected via Miracast...

Great idea

I guess Samsung heard you. Read this article ->
https://www.androidpolice.com/2018/10/02/samsung-working-wireless-dex-connection-upcoming-devices/

Awesome! After 2 years, my post now became a reality with the recently announced Galaxy Note 20 ultra.
Wondering now if this feature can be brought to our old note 9/note 10 via software update or does this require a specific hardware?
What you think guys?

Would be very happy if it's a software thing and they give it to us with the OneUI 2.5 update (if we even get that first xd).

GOOD NEWS !!!
Well I don't how and when it came to our Galaxy Note 9 but the Wireless DEX function is indeed there !
I was just testing the mirroring function with my Galaxy Note 9 and a Amazon FireStick (should work the same with a Google Chromecast) connected onto a 24" monitor via Smart View, then by chance at the end I just pressed the Dex icon and the Dex desktop display just appeared on the monitor !!!
I still have a message telling the "connected TV" is not fully optimized for wireless Dex but it's still working.
Then, There is a second message saying we can use the Note 9 as a touchpad and it works !
I don't have a USB-C hub with me but I guess we could use a mouse and a keyboard as well...

Don't remember when it came either, but I've been using it flawlessly on my roku tv for streaming from sites. Still get hiccups with it occasionally after a period of time though. Reconnecting usually seems to fix them it seems.

Dex on PC mode

Anyone manage to get Dex PC mode working? I tried this morning, and while the phone says it's ready, the app doesn't connect.
I suspect that there needs to be a driver update to make the new devices work, but wanted to see if anyone has gotten it working.

Do you mean the standard Dex Mode or the Link to Windows?

DeX on PC is when you connect the phone to a Windows computer and get a window with DeX running inside.

Have you downloaded and installed the app from https://www.samsungdex.com?
EDIT: I have tested it and it does not work. Drivers are installed, phone is set to usb storage and shows the Dex notification but the PC software wont flinch.
EDIT2: I have uninstalled the Samsung USB driver, connected the phone, dex software prompted to install the driver, PC reboot and works like charm. I have tested both classic USB and USB-C. Both work and sometimes I have to switch to USB just charging, wait a second and switch to file transfer and Dex boots up.

I saw a review for the NexDock and it looked like a great way to use the Dex feature on the S20 Ultra.

Thanks, I will give that a shot. It looks like a potentially useful feature that I am really looking forward to trying.
EDIT: Managed to get it working, turns out I had a cable with an intermittent short in it. I went direct C-to-C and it popped right up. Works really well, now just need to see if is useful enough to bother with.

It looks interesting, but I am more interested in setting up a segregated environment to use on my existing PC, which is supported out of the box via Dex for PC. Sometimes the mobile app version of something is better than what you can get for the PC.

Pardon me sir
I am using my S9+ with DexPad hooked up to my TV through receiver and with a Logitech keyboard that has a touchpad. I don't need a computer for daily internet and media consumption anymore. Tomorrow I will test it with the S20U but the experience is gonna be the same.

Scroll down on your notifications, then change USB from charging to File Transfer and it should prompt you on your phone to start Dex (assuming you have the software installed on the pc already). Works on my S9+ that way. I haven't figured out how to force this usb mode on connect yet.

Lol, no problem just didn't want to make it seem like I had the device at the time (just got it today lol).

Yes its been working great. After installing the dex software make sure you reboot the laptop. I had similer problem and rebooting my pc solved it.

I can't get dex to work on my phone. I have a USBC hub that works fine connected to a monitor with my Tab S4 but when I plug in my phone with the same setup I get nothing on the screen. I see in the notifications that Dex is running and the mouse that's plugged into the dock moves around on the phone but no picture on the monitor
