Wired connection

[Aitorus]

I have tried to connect the computer with a cable to an android tablet and it does not work (Connected Display OFF). But by wifi if it connects.

Hi @aitorus,

Was it USB tethering connection with your USB cable?
Does your tablet supports USB tethering?

[johnliem]

Hello Lea is USB tethring better than WIFi connection?

[Aitorus]

It was a connection, USB cable (PC) – Type-C (Android Tablet).
Understanding that the requirements, if it covers them.

[johnliem]

okay thank you.

Hi @aitorus,

Native USB cable connection is not yet supported in the current spacedesk BETA version.
For now, you can do USB tethering connection (if your android device supports it).
To setup a USB tethering connection, please refer to the Performance Tuning -> Network Bandwidth -> USB Tethering chapter in the user manual https://forum.spacedesk.netuser-manual/#item_509.

FYI: Native Android USB cable connection will be available very soon.

Hi @johnliem,
Wired connection tends to have better performance than wireless connection (that goes through the router).
The fastest option is always a direct connection via network cable or USB cable (by USB tethering).
Please refer to the Performance tuning chapter in the user manual https://forum.spacedesk.netuser-manual/#item_505.

Hi @aitorus and @johnliem,
We just released a new spacedesk Driver v1.0.54.
This new version now supports native Android USB cable connection.
You just have to enable it via spacedesk Driver Console -> Communication Interfaces -> Android USB Cable.
Please try it and let us know if it works on your side.

[johnliem]

By the way will this be a payware?

Hi @johnliem,

Audio is not yet available with Android USB cable connection.
This will probably be available in the next few versions.

This version is still a BETA free version.
Pay version will also be available soon via In-app purchase in the playstore.

[johnliem]

Okay, thank you

[johnliem]

the last update wifi connection audio is also gone.

[spacedesk Lea]

Hi @johnliem,

Audio menu should be available with network connected viewer.
Please try the most recent spacedesk Driver 1055 (released today).

[johnliem]

Okay, thank you.

[johnliem]

Hi,

Will it be possible to add an automatic update feature, when windows start and directly download

[johnliem]

ignore my last request I have seen it already, thanks

[johnliem]

when I use wired connection (USB connection), it works fine when I start spacedesk viewer on my tablet before my pc start, but when I turn on the spacedesk after my pc, often it does not work , is there any workaround how to fix this?

[spacedesk Lea]

Hi @johnliem,

Thank you very much for the feedback.

We are currently investigating this issue and trying to reproduce it.
Can you further describe what is happening?
Does it show black screen in the viewer app upon USB connection?
Can you easily reproduce this issue? Will it eventually work after a few times of USB cable plug-unplug?
Could you please send us the steps on how to reproduce it?

[johnliem]

I did reply to this via my phone but it seems something going wrong, so just will let you know that since I update my windows 11 the issue is gone. I do not have that issue anymore.
