OK. I found that, if I pull the phone out of the docking station, I can switch to dark mode. When I put the phone back in the docking station, it comes up in dark mode and the windows "on top" are much easier to identify. I guess the problem is solved. But it crazy that we cannot have control...

I looked through themes but didn't see anything. Will post a screen shot when I get a chance so we can play "find the windows". It is like a kids game, only frustrating as an adult. It's harder to find a window "on top" than you think. I hate Android 10. Seems like Google is becoming a "mature"...

I connect my Note 10 to a full screen monitor which means I can easily have multiple windows open at the same time. With the new version of Android, it is MUCH more difficult to quickly identify an application window, especially ones on top that are less than full screen. I am absolutely hating...

The work around of enabling the phone's touch screen function does not work. The phone's screen still goes dark after the timeout period and all input from my keybord and mouse are disabled. It occured to me that my keyboard and mouse are configured (linked) to the Samsung the docking station...

It seems as though Dex is not able to disable the screen timeout on my Note 10 when it is in the docking station since the Android 10 upgrade. When the screen on the phone goes black after 5 minutes, it stops taking keyboard and mouse input from my external keyboard. I must unlock my phone's...

Are you saying Dex is dead indirectly? I invested in monitors and docking stations. Since the Android 10 upgrade, I've had a miriad of problems. I've checked everyday for a software upgrade or fixes, but nothing. Should I assume nothing is forthcoming? Edit: Cancel. I found an article and I see...

Battery only lasts about 3 hours now. Ugh.

Dex is a mess (worse than with Oreo). And it seems like Dex is an orphaned product, so I'm not counting on any fixes. Ughs. Great concept, failed implementation.

Anyone else get the update this week to Pie? I'm trying really hard to like Dex, but it seems like it is an orphaned product. Case in point: On Oreo (android 8), the Samsung keyboard would immediately be activated when Dex loaded. This was done so that the physical keyboard that was likely...

Yeah. I spent more time on the hub. Precious little control on which photos it shows, and it's ability to control YouTube -- either on the display, or what you can ask it to play on a neaby TV (Chromecast). This is no substitute for your Android phone. So frustrating. Yep. It's staying on my...

I noticed the Lenovo version today too (after my Hub purchase). Looks like the Hub may only be good for my nightstand while the Lenovo might work better for the kitchen. Kind of sad that the Hub is going to be relegated to "bedside clock status". Not buying the Lenovo though until I see if...

Got mine yesterday and had a little time to play last night. The reason I purchased the hub is to eliminate the need to use my android phone to control my house. My first impression after 45 minutes of use: Controlling the Hue lights is easier than using my Samsung Note 8. Some of the...

If I start a video from YouTube on the TV, what account will it use?

So if guest asks it to play a YouTube video, what user ID will it play it under? Has to have some default. Or let's say they use the screen to open something, such as a calendar? Or web page? The location (kitchen) and the screen makes it more likely to be considered and used as a multi-user...

I ordered the new Google Home Hub (with display) which will be in a shared space in my kitchen. It seems to me the new device is primed for use by all occupants of the house and it no longer makes sense to tie my personal Google user ID to it -- complete with links to my email, calendar...

I use it now almost exclusively at my office. The Dex software however is so unpolished, you get the feeling it is "beta". If Steve Jobs was alive and it was an Apple product, he wouldn't have let this level of code leave the building and the project manager would probably pay the price. It's...

It is. When you add up all the little "broken" or "annyong" issues, you start to get the feeling that the Dex software is "beta" code. Steve Jobs would never have let this software out of the building and the project manager would have paid a heavy price. Bug happen. But to make matter worse...

I've been loving my Dex workstation in my office and home using a Logitech Bluetooth keyboard/mouse combo, but immediately noticed I was frequently pressing the space bar but the space (character) would not appear on the screen. This causes me to have to backspace often. Not only does my...
