Just windows homescreen

[spacedesker]

When trying to use spacedesk only the windows homescreen is visible on the android.
Opening applications is working but not visible on the android but the pc.

Hi @spacedesker,
Could it be that you are in extend mode?
If you wish to mirror/duplicate your main display to the spacedesk display, please change it via the Windows Display Settings. For further details, please refer to Desktop Extension or Desktop Duplication (mirror) Settings in Display Control Panel topic of our user manual, https://manual.spacedesk.net/DesktopExtensionorDesktopDuplica.html.

I only have one display.

[spacedesker]

It is now working. Thank you very much. Could you help me with the issue that reading text can be difficult or can this not be changed?

Hi @spacedesker,
since you are using duplicate mode, go to settings > resolution > Make sure that custom resolution is checked > choose custom resolution > From there, you can select your desired resolution or try adding it manually by typing your resolution.

I have selected the highest resolution possible. On my display the display is clear and nice but on SpaceDesk android there is the issue where the resolution is just not high and reading text can be difficult.

[spacedesker]

The quality is just horrible. When i am trying to read text it is not possible at all through the spacedesk app.

[spacedesker]

On the desktop the quality is just fine and very nice.

Hi @spacedesker,
Could you please tell us what custom resolution are you using in spacedesk settings, as well as the resolution from Windows settings?
Could you also tell us what is the problem with the quality? is it that the text is too small to read?
keep in mind that when you are using a small device, the text will also be smaller. you can try other larger scale in Windows settings

I am using 2560×1440 in windows settings. I do not know how to change resolution in spacedesk.

[spacedesker]

Quality is just like 144p

Hi @spacedesker,
to go to spacedesk settings, please open the app > click the floating menu > settings > resolution > uncheck “Use native android device resolution” > Make sure that custom resolution is checked > click custom resolution > From there, you can select your desired resolution by scrolling through the option. the highest resolution is below the list. make sure to choose the resolution with the same aspect ratio of your primary resolution, you can also try adding it manually by typing your resolution.

I can not find the settings. Could you help me out? The only way to get to settings for me is using video wall which makes it not able to do anything on the android.

[spacedesker]

But this should be fine for now. Could you help me with no audio being sent to the android app?
have a nice day btw

Hi @spacedesker,
The settings we were talking about can be found in the spacedesk Viewer app in your phone.
about the audio, are you using Native USB connection or Wi-Fi connection?
if it’s Wi-Fi, while Android device is connected to your PC display, you will see a floating menu with three lines on it, please tap that menu and check the audio option to enable it.

if its already checked, and still has no audio, the issue could be in your windows audio settings. just choose “spacedesk virtual speaker” as your speaker output.
