Side Sync gone after Pie update?

[chrism8922@gmail.com]

Um, I used sidesync all the time. It was one of the reasons I bought my Tab S3 / Note 8 / Note 9 combo.

After the One UI update, It's gone from my phone, and I can't find it in Google Play or Samsung apps.

This was a core functionality for me, and if it is truly gone, outrageous that I have spent the money that I have only to have it removed with an update.

Samsung has been phasing out Sidesync for a while. I don't think it was officially supported on the S9 or Note 9 since launch. Much (if not all) of the functionality is now provided with Samsung Flow. Here is some info:

Flow replaced it, and has much deeper integration. Sidesync doesn't work on Pie, which is why it's gone. (It's also ancient and hasn't had an update in over a year)

Thank you for the info... unless I'm missing something, Flow doesn't seem to let you use the phone from the tablet screen, which was the main reason I used that app.

Thanks again for the help.

You mean mirror? It should. There is a button that flips it to the full mirroring.

If you do a search in the forum there's a thread that has a link to download the apk file for sidesync. Samsung flow sucks so bad. Lol

Sidesync doesn't work well on Pie. There's a reason it's gone and won't let pie devices download it.

It works just fine for me. I've had no problem with it on pie

Controlling (or miirroring) one device from another is easy - with any pair of VNC apps.

Thank you everyone, I'll keep working on figuring it out.

Thank you for the reply, but the button doesn't do anything for me. It changes color, but doesn't do anything. Any ideas?

You might have to troubleshoot with Samsung, because it should work since you have an S3

And that reason is?

So they can make more money off of forcing everyone to switch to Dex and their own propitiatory adapters https://forums.androidcentral.com/e...m%2Fca%2Fapps%2Fsamsung-dex%2F&token=TpstKmYt

No. They have Flow, which has more features

SideSync doesn't rotate properly when mirroring to PC.

Samsung Flow still works

Flow works excellent, really straightforward and nice to use.

Does it work over wifi or cell service?
