Sidesync - Confirmed by Samsung support as not yet compatible with S9

[dnmrt]

It is my first day back at work with my new S9. I have always found SideSync a handy tool, plug your phone in via USB and it will charge whilst displaying your mobile's display on your PC. I noticed that I couldn't connect via USB as I normally do and WiFi would connect via a hotspot but not our main network.

I have just finished a live chat with Samsung Support and after some testing, I was told:
"Thank you so much for patiently waiting. Upon checking, we do apologise but at Sidesync is not compatible with S9 at the moment. Samsung are working on it as soon as possible for more improvements."

Before contacting samsung, I tried:
-Re-installing SideSync on PC
-Re-Installing Samsung Mobile USB drivers
-Restarting PC
Samsung adviser asked me to try:
From the dialler on your device, enter *#0808#.
Under 'USB', select AP.
Under 'USB Settings', select MTP +ADB.
Soft reboot device

So there going to be discontinuing SideSync in favor of Samsung Flow from the Galaxy S9 onward

Doesn't look like it.

Samsung Flow requires Google Play Services whereas Sidesync does not, correct? That's a blow.

I have both Flow and SideSync installed in my PC (with Windows 10).

Flow is better than SideSync in almost all the things, but it's not able to mirror the screen yet.

for now i use teamviewer.... waiting for samsung flow ... btw. you can install samsing flow via samsung store. but there is no mirroring option

But I can not use flow with my tab a 10.1 with spen... I can install flow on my s9 and on my PC.
So how do I sync files between phone and tablet?

Thank you

I recommend Vysor Pro, if you have the cash and need the accessibility now. You need Google Chrome for the install I think, on your Desktop.

I use it, works for what I need to. Lets me control it via mouse & keyboard. Lets you change stream quality rate. Latency is next to nothing on the S9.

Supports Wifi and USB remote-in options.

Your other option is to get a DexPad or wait until Samsung Flow supports mirroring.

So... Just upgraded to a new phone. Now Samsung wants to force me to upgrade OS... Work PC, work laptop, home PC. Because Samsung Flow requires Windows 10. Way to go, Samsung. Alienate 43.4% of the PC user base. Or just take a step backwards and lose functionality that I already had with my old phone and current os's. Looks like I'll be trying a different solution this week.

And what about Mac users?? Flow only works on PC.

 

[dnmrt]

I gave flow a go but it just isn't as good as Sidesync, I would love them to bring it back.

Hey guys, i downloaded v 7.6.0-507 as an apk and installed it on my Galaxy S9. It worked, except that screen mirroring shows phone screen in landscape mode...

Best regards...
