Anyone know how to sync with Windows 7???
I've tried to install Windows Mobile Device Center 6.1, but it don't recognize my phone.. And ActiveSync won't even be installed due to compability reasons. (Doh, it's Win7)
I really like Win7, so it would be great to sync the phone
Try another cable or something, the mobile center should work.

But the mobile is charging =/ So i don't think something is wrong with the cable and it worked just fine in XP (ActiveSync). And when I connected the mobile first time, the PC recognized it and installed the drivers for the mobile and the ActiveSync started on the mobile. Should it start on the phone when mobile center is running on the PC?
So does that mean you didn't try anothe cable? Because if you had researched this sort of thing (aka searched) you would find that the cables do this quite often.

i don't know what is the issue for you as i have win7rc1 and i can sync fine using the mobile device center.
If you are using 64bit Windows 7 then you need to download the updated drivers for the HTC. I am not sure exactly where Microsoft has these located, but it automatically downloaded and installed the new USB drivers that it needed just the other day for me......
Works excellent. I was using the 32 Bit version of Windows 7 before this and even though its based under Vista couldn't get it to synch up.
I have Win7 64 bit...with internet already established through another source, when I plugged in my tilt, it found the driver and installed it and has worked flawlessly ever since.
Works fine for me too on Win7 x64.
First, try another cable. USB has 4 connections, only 2 are needed to make it charge, but for communication it needs all 4. Maybe try another USB port on your PC as well.
And as said before, make sure you have an internet connection so it can download the drivers.
WMDC is already built in with Win7, so don't install any other versions from Microsoft Download Center.
Works fine for Win7 x64.
but Win7 x86 "NO"
you can use virtual XP mode for 32bit version
Updates?
Hi. I had this same problem following a hard-reset of my phone. After a while of searching I found that an update (designed for Vista) is available on the microsoft website. Downloaded, installed and sync worked first time. Yey
It should work with Win 7 RC 32 bit - does for me!

Then you're doing something wrong (such as not having the TyTN II correctly connected to your desktop PC or not having internet access on it to download whats required perhaps). I plugged my TyTN II into my Win 7 RC (32 bit) PC and after a bit of hardware detection and some automatic downloading it works (allbeit still with slow file tranfers but at least the UI is better than Win XPs Activesync). Welcome to xda-dev by the way
I think that it matters wether or not it's Windows7 RC.. Right after it came out someone was using the beta and it wouldn't work for them.

I was wondering the same but as the RC version is still avail for free until 20 Aug, anyone with the Beta should be formatting and installing this instead. Grab it while you can
I am running RC 7100 and I have no problem syncing.
Only issue I have now is, when the phone is connected, it won't let me delete or replace any .xml files through file explorer. This was never an issue with XP and Active Sync.
i just found what the problem is. Open settings on phone, then connection tab, open usb to pc... and there uncheck (enable advanced network function)
With it checked it didnt work on mine win7

I had that problem when I first bought my TyTN II but it was because I was attempting to connect it to my ancient USB 1.1 ports on my Pentium III. As soon as I installed a modern (but cheap) NEC chipset USB 2.0 PCI adapter card, I found I could connect fine either with or without advanced network functionality enabled. This is a USB port hardware compatibility issue rather than a Win 7 issue and I suspect even if users have Win XP on the machine that behaves this way, they'd still get the exact same response.
your speaking about USB 1 when others is speaking about Win7. If you dont know win 7 is the newest MS OS. So, i belive, all who use win7 have USB2. So there is question why you mention usb1?
And i didnt sad whole story. I had used phone with win xp for long time with that check on, and with one cabler... now on win7 i tried 2 diferent cables with that check on. Didnt work. Took it off and it started to work. So its Win7 issue.

Thanks for the explanation but my Pentium III is capable of running (or should that be walking) Win 7 RC and it has USB 1.1 ports (as well as a USB 2.0 card now). Given Win 7 RC was avail free of charge - don't know if it still is, I got mine in June, there'll be people who get it just to see what it looks like, even though the hardware isn't up to ideal spec.
I don't know what ports were being used in your case because as you mentioned, full details weren't supplied and we didn't have the whole story - we still don't know. Glad you've resolved the issue in your case but in a modern PC which can comfortably run Windows 7, I wouldn't typically expect this to be an issue. If the hardware is struggling to keep up or has USB ports of dubious quality/performance, then thats a different matter.
Sounds like win7 (my main OS now days) communicates with the USB ports in a different manner than XP or the other OS's. Good to know.
I can apparently get my S6 (Raptor ROM 2.1, COF8 - 5.1.1) to pair with my Dell laptop but neither the phone nor the laptop show the other as actually connected.
I've tried pairing and then removing it from Bluetooth devices in Windows, toggling Bluetooth off and on, etc but nothing seems to work. Google's not really returning anything useful either.
Has anyone been able to pair AND connect their S6 with Windows 10?
yep

I tried searching the forum and found no comments on sidesync so here is my problem:
What I am using:
Sidesync 4.0 installed on a windows 7 x64 PC
Galaxy Note 5 (Verizon) running 5.1.1 (Stock of course :/ )
SideSync 4.0.9.9 App on the phone from samsung store
I was able to successfully connect to my home PC over WiFi network so I know the phone software will do it.
When I try to connect wirelessly at work I can't use WiFi because the desktop PC is wired and the phone is wireless. I understand this and that is not the issue.
I am connected the phone via USB directly to the computers USB port and SideSync is not finding it. I log on to my PC with an unprivileged account so when I launch sidesync it wants admin credentials which I provide. Once launched it will not find the phone.
Anyone have any thoughts?
When I connected mine for the first time this morning it had to install a driver before I plugged in the phone. Did it prompt you to unplug and install the driver? Seems to work great but if I bring up the phone screen on the PC it cuts out my headphone audio that I am listening to through the phone, not sure if it is trying to play through my PC I'll have to play around with it.

I had this issue when I got my S8 so I reinstalled the drivers and it started working again, Yay
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Samsung\SideSync4\USB Driver"
When I put my phone in the station it goes black and my tv does the same for a second. Than te tv says no signal. When I unplug my phone it says "samsung dex"... Is it because my tv has only 720p?
I'm having the same issue. The Dex and monitor worked fine with my S8+ but just got the Note 8 and it's blank.
Nothing

Nothing happens for me and ive tried 2 dex stations. Could the dex software be missing from my phone?
I have used a generic USB-c-> HDMI/USB-A/USB-C adapter without issue. It was finicky at first. What are the origins of your phones?
I believe Dex actually specs 1080p as minimum requirements.

I have used an old Dell 19" 4:3 display. It's easily 10years old. It letter boxed it, but still worked.
Did anybody find out what causes this as I have the same issue with my note 8, tv says no signal but when phone removed from doc it says samsunsung dex?

I was having problems with the DeX not detecting and also charging the phone every time I put it on, had to try 6/7 times, but it seems fixed after latest update

I had a Dex Station which would charge the phone and allow USB peripherals to be used but no video out or detection of it by my phone. I returned that one and bought another from someone else and it works perfectly. It could be a defective unit.
power supply can also be an issue. only my original note 8 works. I've tried with an s8 fast charger and it dont work. i have also tried with numerous 3rd party fast chargers and also did not work.( quick charge 2 and 3 compatible)
One other tip is, if you freeze or remove the Samsung Keyboard, Dex will not work. They are tied together.
After having issues with mine I found that little tidbit on line.

interesting.
but as any good trouble shooter would do, if it dosent work on stock rom and settings then issue is not on the phones side.

The OP did not state his phone wasn't modified. Mine was merely a suggestion that was proven to work, all things being equal.

Was your latest update Oreo?

it was December or January update not Oreo that fixed it, flashed Oreo on my other Note 8 but haven't tried that in DeX mode yet so not sure if there's any changes in Oreo there, I would imagine it can use the new DeX pad though
I've never actually tried this, but is there a way to:
Remote Desktop into the Galaxy Note 9?
Force the session to DeX mode?

I'm trying to visualize this. You begin on a windows laptop... display the Remote Desktop of your phone on the laptop... and then... what? Not seeing the last step.
If you ran DeX on the phone, it would show you nothing except the phone's "desktop" which would be what the phone shows, not what DeX is showing on any laptop. In addition, DeX would want to project onto your laptop, which would mean you'd have DeX running (I guess?) alongside the phone's display on your laptop.
I project my Mac laptop screen to a Roku Ultra and from there to our old TV set. I can then run DeX on my laptop via the phone and it projects onto our TV via the Roku since it is displaying on the laptop. But all this is only showing you that I, too, find esoteric (and fun) ideas to try out. I've not once used my Roku/TV to do any work via DeX. A bit cumbersome...
Forgive me if I've missed your purpose.

On Windows 10 (for instance):
Open Remote Desktop
Type in your phone's login credientials
You're logged into your phone. Instead of actually seeing your phone within your Remote Desktop session, you see your phone in DeX mode. THAT'S what I'm looking for. Essentially, DeX for PC without having to use Dex for PC since it doesn't support wireless.
Is that possible at this time?

But your phone in DeX mode shows.... nothing. Because DeX only "shows itself" on the laptop where the DeX app for Windows/OSX is running. The phone serves DeX to the laptop. So... you'd see nothing except the phone. Which shows you nothing. The snag being that handshake - which requires at present a usb connection - between DeX served up by the phone and DeX being connected to via the DeX app on the laptop.
And I hope I'm wrong, because it would be really cool if you somehow were able to get a DeX session wirelessly before UI 2.5 even comes out.
above msg
i do belive hes refering to getting the note 9 into wireless dex
Yup. He's pretty much asking for Wireless DeX.
It'll be out with OneUI 2.5 (hopefully, if they dont choose to trim the firmware from features), in about 2 weeks tops. And it'll require the Dex app installed on Windows, it definitely wont work with RDP.
Edit: and i assume it'll work only locally on the network.

Yep I'm pretty much asking for Wireless DeX, you're right...but with a different approach, since the PC app requires a physical connection. I didn't know if there potentially was a way to force a DeX session if you attempted to connect to your phone through RDP. It would be neat if that were possible. I do know about One UI 2.5 so I guess I'll just have to wait. It does look like it's coming to the Note 9 sometime in October.

Well, that's the point of Wireless DeX, it wont require a physical connection with a USB cable, just both devices being on the same network.
