1. to access dex in 8.5, install Activity Launcher from playstore
2. open the app and search the keyword "DeX"
3. find the Settings app in the list and tap on it and see if anything related to Samsung Dex is still there then tap it and launch activity

then can anyone confirm this?

1. the wallpaper is black on dex desktop
2. you can no longer use the mouse regardless if connected to the external display and to the phone via wired(type C mouse to phone, standard to external display) and wireless(bluetooth)

if you have a touch screen external display, then you can still navigate.

context: my room is upstairs, the wifi is downstairs.

I am experiencing this weird situation wherein

my newer devices, maybe from 2020 to now, cant connect to our wifi immediately. nakikita nila ang wifi pero hindi sila maka connect while my old devices connect right away.

pero if there is an old device that is connected to the wifi, thats the only time ang newer devices ko that they will connect. it's weird na required na connected ang old devices ko bago sila maka connect. nakaka connect naman sila once malapit na ako sa router at walang concrete in between, but still, ang old devices ko can connect flawlessly. it's just that upstairs, the newer devices need the old devices beside them for them to connect

what can you say about this?

i reckon it has something to do with the distance, obstacle, and wifi advancements of the recent years.
