DeX issues

[bsikora17]

I genuinely dont understand why samsung changed an app which was marketed as "a familiar desktop experiance for your mobile and tablet" to an app which is now a tablet experience. The whole point of dex was to make your phone or tablet into a desktop, not your phone into a bigger phone and your tablet into a bigger tablet. It makes DEX absolutely useless.

Does anyone know how to enable classic dex on one ui 8, because this version of dex is completely unusable for me. I want DeX to provide me with a desktop experiance, as i need it for my work, not ti make my phone bigger and project it onto a montior in a "tablet experience". 

Or how can i go back to one ui 7 without a pc/laptop as I dont have one.

I dont quite understand 'tablet experience'.

I have the fold 8 on oneui8 and I use it with a USB C dock, a 27" monitor and USB keyboard and mouse. It works fine as a desktop.

What do you mean a tablet experience? In what way has it changed recently ?

It doesn't work like classic dex, new dex with one ui 8 works like a tablet, and doesn't offer the same functionality as desktops. The app draw is now a scrolling app draw like it is on phones and tablets, not like it was before. You cannot pin more than 5 apps onto the task taskbar just like you can on a phone or tablet, and it overall isn't like using a phone or tablet, I can provide video proof of this

How do you connect to use it ? And to what device ? Do you use a USB hub and HDMI to a monitor ? I have Just come up to my PC desk and plugged in.

I have more than 12 pinned apps to task bar. 10 windows open. Perfect desktop experience to multi task and the windows also 'snap to fit' just like Microsoft windows.

I have ms teams, office, socials, calendar, all to hand at any time to bring up. Windows style shortcuts for ctrl-c and ctrl-v etc all work just as in a desktop.

I am not sure what your complaint is. It works just like dex has done before and I have used this app on and off since the s8 plus phone some 10 years or so ago.

I have my s24 ultra connected via usbc to hdmi cable. As you can see I cant even properly run my vps, everything is broken, out of aspect, the taskbar won't let me attach things, honestly its un-usable for me and my work

do you have the settings - connected devices - Samsung Dex - connected display setting.

Is it set to extended rather than mirrored ?
