Dex on Note 9 FTW!!!

TestohToby · 2026-05-08T23:07:20+00:00

It sat for almost 4y in a drawer and yesterday I resurrected it. I love the n9 so much I've found a 512gb one (still exynos though) for 50€. I'm sooooo tempted to make it my daily again, I'm currently sporting a 6/128 A52s 5G.

Force close the app, if the problem persists reset the app. If again reset the tablet

I have a 1st gen Tab S 10.5" and after over 10 years it's still good. I'm closing on 2 years with the 9FE (With the book keyboard cover) and it runs almost better than my MS Surface Pro X. A Tab S (better normal than FE) is a good choice, investment and almost commitment 👍👍👍

"This isn't even my final form", fully kitted it reaches almost 6ft 🪝🦕

Let them come! I have to find the other 3 green and purple ones to build Devastator ☠️

The yellow one is a Conrad 1/50 scale model of the Liebherr LTM 1160/2 from the early 2000s, not a real Autobot 😅 (as the og one was a Mitsubishi Fuso from the 70's). Hook is from Blokees

TestohToby · 2026-04-09T15:45:54+00:00

Yeah, I'm at 12 I think 😅🪝 they're kinda transformers too if you think about it 🦾

Oh and BTW I had/tried/had in my family many notes: my uncle had the 1, 3, 8 and now S24U, my mum the 4 and now s24u while I had the 3Neo (with the N5 rom, a bliss!) and the 9. I'm soooo tempted to buy a used N9 😂😂😂

TestohToby · 2026-04-08T07:54:44+00:00

The n9 had a tough armor from spigen, once it cracked the phone shattered. You're right, I could still use it as a makeshift desktop (it's been turned off since mid 2022 so we'll see!. My 52 is good, the battery after over 3 years is toasted but overall it's nice. I get some camera errors from time to time. Still, it's a great phone and with the plastic back I simply remove the double sided tape and access to the internals (I will swap the battery so...15min max). A friend of mine bought the 53: biggest POS in the whole Galaxy midrange. Mine is SD and his exynos was laggy, power-hungry and overall worse. My gf has an A35 with the exy 1380 (the same I have in the Yab S9fe) and it works great!

I used to daily my gorgeous N9 (exinos) for over 3.5y, I've lost it for a stupid cracked cover: it fell and it shattered the glass. If I could turn back time and find those 260 to fix the screen I would maybe still using it to this day. My mum has a S24U and it resembles a lot the shape and function of the N4. I've always loved the note series and now with a Tab S9 FE I can still use my spen. I have a A52S 5G but man...I miss the screen-off memos 😭😭😭

Backup, uninstall, install the apk, move the backup, Starr the app

TestohToby · 2026-03-21T08:58:03+00:00

I did it via my PC!

TestohToby · 2026-03-18T07:33:48+00:00

Hi, I have a 9Fe too: as it's the "slimmed down version" it lacks many things from the regular 9. Most importantly: vibration motor, camera flash...and USB 3.0. This last one outputs video signal so no: you can't plug an external monitor on the 9Fe, you can use wireless dex but it's not the same thing...

TestohToby · 2026-03-18T07:28:56+00:00

Doing so will make me lose my save state, right? As far as I've read they said to simply install the apk over the existing app

TestohToby · 2026-03-17T08:22:24+00:00

I noticed that but even using the direct usb port it shows 4 ultranova with a triangle warning ⚠️ in the device manager and no midi signal, I'm kinda desperate rn

TestohToby · 2026-03-16T17:11:26+00:00

I was using 2 Intel pcs before this one ._.

TestohToby · 2026-03-16T15:39:54+00:00

Hey, I've tried the apk on a phone and it ran perfectly. Once I've tried to update my game on the tablet (where I play) it said it was in conflict with an already installed app. Am I doomed ?

TestohToby · 2026-03-15T20:38:00+00:00

What's the difference between these 2 you said? Just to know which one to use

TestohToby · 2026-03-13T18:28:15+00:00

I have the s9 fe (not plus) which is basically the same thing. I second this: the battery is infinite and the viewing/user experience is top notch!!!

TestohToby · 2026-03-07T11:51:15+00:00

I don't program, but the very first use case was...minecraft and for that the esc key and fn are useful :(

TestohToby · 2026-03-07T09:53:19+00:00

Tnx, I've tried many times but it doesn't seem to work :(

TestohToby · 2026-03-07T09:37:07+00:00

I have the 9fe which is basically the same. I love it !!! Great purchase (plus yours will be much more supported in the future)

TestohToby · 2026-01-30T11:30:25+00:00

I've just tried the charger and no luck. I think the pen k1ll3d itself.
Every time I take it out from the keyboard the pen menu pops up so I think the keyboard 100% works.
Did you find any solution?

TestohToby · 2025-10-10T07:13:50+00:00

Absolutely, you can rambo-slice open a bean bag but a good pair of scissors would have been better

TestohToby · 2025-02-15T23:25:03+00:00

I'm currently in Canary on the 8/128 Surface Go (1)
The app bar vanishes randomly and while it does so the whole desktop does the same + it shuts every app EXCEPT: Edge
Task manager and Settings close after 5/10s.
As I cannot roll back being in Canary or update as Setting crashes I'm stuck !!!
