Question Samsung DeX

[lakedude]

DeX basically turns your Samsung Galaxy S8 or S9 into a computer. DeX gives your phone HDMI and USB connectors but it also enables a different mode that make your phone work like a desktop.

DeX has allowed us to quit our expensive land based internet service in favor of unlimited cell based service for $20/month. DeX has been working great but there is a learning curve. Getting some apps to run full screen was the first obstacle. Following the directions in the app Desktop Hub did the trick.

Scrolling and zooming with a touch pad has been interesting. A two finger swipe will scroll.

Spell check is hit and miss depending on the app and website.

Streaming apps have mosty been working great. Resolution is normally limited to 480 by the phone but DeX seems to allow higher.

If you are using DeX please post any tips here.

Switching to an Android phone required finding and learning a new "Paint" program.

We had used Paint Shop Pro, Irfanview and GIMP in the past. We are using ArtFlow for Android now. Both GIMP and ArtFlow are a more complicated than we really need. Irfanview was my favorite on Windows. Anybody have a suggestion for a simple drawing or painting app on Android?
