This thread for anything and everything thread.

Point of order no. 1 - Vainglory
It's incredible the power we walk around in our pockets, what an awesome moba that works beautifully on the Dex. Try it. Let's start a guild.

Tips & Tricks:
- Dex Max

Problems:
- Skype, doesnt recognize the ethernet cable as a valid connection, so says it can't connect
- Adobe Reader, can browse my Dropbox files no problem, as soon as I want to open a PDF, it has "no connection"

I'm already playing Vainglory. Very nice graphics. Level 10 at the moment. I second that guild.

I was never a fan of Samsung phones until I saw the Dex Station at the Samsung store one evening. That impressed me so much that week later I bought the S8+. Strange though, i never got as far as to aquire a Dex Station yet. Got new VR Gear though and enjoying it at the moment but will hopefully get the Dex soon.

It would be cool of the DeX experience activated on cast to screen.

Right, so I need to get Remote Desktop to go bigger. As its not optimised for Dex just yet.

Found this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=xyz.masmas.dexmax

Install and run the Android app 'DEX MAX', click on the 'Expert' tab, find the Microsoft RDP app that you downloaded and installed previously; changes the manifest for full screen use, and it re-installs the modified RDP app.

Does DSTV now and Showmax run via DEX? Would be cool if it does.

I know netflix, as is, is not optimised for the dex... but i haven't tried the max dex app to see if it makes it full screen yet

Also check out the Dex hub app. Looks like it has a lot of useful features.

Unless I am missing something he just uses the standard MS RDP client to access a windows PC. Not sure what is special about what he is doing.

Nothing. However some people might not be aware of RDP.
