Dex mode - why are you annoying with the title bar!?

vinays — Mon, 24 Aug 2020 03:38:37 GMT

Dex mode should deliver truely desktop experience. However, the app title bar makes it worst. There should be an option to hide this window or should have an option to enter exclusive mode to get rid of taskbar and title bar.

Try going into settings, Samsung DeX. Go to the eighth option and that hides the task bar. I'm using Tab S7 plus & accessing settings while in DeX mode. There's an app in the Google Play Store called DeX Max this can be used to hide the title bar, I used to use it back in the day but it would stop working occasionally so I uninstall it. I don't know if it's been updated since then, but it's worth a try cos it's free.

Most of the time I dont use dex because of this, I know its a small thing but its realy irritating losing screen space to it and using the browser with the bar above is fustrating imo

Yes, we need this feature implemented ASAP!

I'm just on my Tab S6 writing this in the DEX Mode which I was trying out for some programming work and it work astonishngly well (I was in awe, that i can actually run a nodeJs server and access it natively on android), but on a 10'' screen the title bar that cannot be hidden is a BIG problem. Even after changing the scaling in the Dex settings to the minimum it takes a whooping 5% of the screen real estate.

Please implement some kind of auto hide mechanism for the top title bar - with this the Tab S6 would come very close to being an actual PC and not just a tablet.

Same I don't use dex for this reason. Some apps have the bar hidden like minecraft and you need too hold tap to see the navigation options, it really cool and useful. I hope this feature was for all apps

Late response but you can auto hide taskbar in dex settings. Also, if you use samsung internet and have a keyboard you can f11 into fullscreen mode, which hides both bars (not sure about other browsers).

Well, I cannot believe that we are now in 2022 ans this feature is not being brought up to their tablets. I decided to get one of their S8 tablets and I like the Dex mode, however it lacks a lot of the features of the normal mode! Come on Samsung!

Same here, Tab S6 and S8+ in regular use but after using DEX with that title bar for a few minutes I decided to go back to regular mode and use TeamViewer od Remote Desktop to my server/laptop.

Come on Samsung! You can do it! I believe in you!

Samsung should build the DeX title bar into the Samsung Internet UI itself (when being run in DeX mode)

Auto hide in full screen for any app would also be needed. Not sure why they aren’t doing this. It's been jarring and disjointed from day 1.

This has been the primary reason that I do not use DeX. The Galaxy Tab S8+ has a great screen, but with it's size and aspect ratio, every milimeter needs to be used, especially in landscape mode.

Come on Samsung, auto-hiding the title bar shouldn't be a big lift.

(The DeX MAX app appears to be defunct. Google Play Store currently lists it with the warning "This app isn't available for your device because it was made for an older version of Android.")

Samsung, please allow us the ability to hide the title bar, integrate the title bar with the existing top functionality of applications (such as with chrome or vscode), or at least communicate with us. It would be helpful to at least let us in on what is preventing this change from being made. Thanks!

I’m only trying to watch Paramount+ in fullscreen. Galaxy S20 FE. I couldn’t sign in to the app until I powered off &.back on. Then I swear it went into fullscreen. No problem until I clicked to check something else. Then would not go back. Found autohide taskbar. Title bar goes away when I click on screen for player controls then comes back when controls go away. wth.

I've recently got the tab s9 ultra, and found that the top bar goes away in samsungs video player, but the video player has trouble with certain types of videos so you then have to use vlc which again has the same issue. Quite frustrating this still hasn't been sorted out, it's 2023,how hard can it be to hide the bar.

I never had the title bar on my Samsung Fold with some very expensive movie glasses that uses Dex, but now I cant get rid of the title bar. This is so stupid, and I will buy an Iphone instead.

Extremely sad Samsung doesn't seem to care one bit about this issue. The lack of communication is also eroding trust in DeX as a platform to invest in.
