Hi @misovicb,

the spacedesk Driver should be able to handle multiple client connections.
Were you not able to connect the two Android tablets?
Please download and install the latest spacedesk Driver v2.1.21.

[spacedesk Nicole]

Hi @jmusic,

the spacedesk virtual Speaker does not support mono channel.
Please check on the iPhone device if Mono Audio is enabled and if the left and right channels are balanced (Settings -> Accessibility -> Audio & Visual).

Hi @castaa,

I would like to request another diagnostics.
The previous diagnostic logs were incomplete.
Please follow the diagnostic collection steps provided in the Diagnostic’s right-side panel of the spacedesk Driver Console. Screenshot of the same steps is attached.

Hi @rukirgaming,

Yes.
Please download and install the latest spacedesk Driver version.

[spacedesk Nicole]

Hi @juventino,

thank you for the diagnostics.
It seemed that the Android device was able to stay connected up to one hour.
The traces did not indicate any errors in the first 10 minutes of connection.
So far, we could not reproduce the issue on our side.
Could you please share how spacedesk is being used and which applications are running on your machine?
Is the Android device plugged to a USB hub or directly to a USB port?
Have you tried to plug the device in a USB2.0 or USB3.0 port?
Is USB debugging of the device disabled?

PS: DebugView tool captures available traces of running applications. This is why there’s Oculus and other software’s traces in the log file.

[spacedesk Nicole]

Hi @hawak,

if you have HDR or 10-bit pixel format enabled, please disable it in Windows display settings or in the graphics adapter (e.g. Nvidia or AMD) control panel.
Both features are not supported by spacedesk.
For further details, please refer to our user manual topic “Windows 11/10 Known Issues and Unsupported Features” (https://manual.spacedesk.net/Windows1110KnownIssuesandUnsuppo.html).

[spacedesk Nicole]

Hi @donglee0612,

thank you for sending the diagnostic logs.
What is the model of your tablet?
Is it connected to a USB hub or directly to the computer port?
Have you tried to connect to a USB2.0 port?

Hi @donglee0612,

thank you for the diagnostics log.
Unfortunately, it did not show that the USB was plugged.
After checking the Diagnostic Collection box, did you reproduce the issue by connecting by USB?

[spacedesk Nicole]

Hi @kevins

We have a previous spacedesk users that verified that MS Flight Simulator does NOT support/recognize touchscreen input (in general not just in spacedesk).
And according to that user, it can only recognize mouse input from a remote display.

We can only suggest either of the following:
1. Use mouse touch which automatically activates on your second viewer connection.
Current spacedesk’s touchscreen only supports in first spacedesk display, so on your first viewer app just activate touch screen first, then connect a second viewer app where you can move your flight simulator app and try to send the mouse touch input from there.
2. Select relative touch input in your viewer app settings (the touch input will behave as mouse pad for your primary machine).

[spacedesk Nicole]

Hi @nicoteix,

thank you very much.

In the spacedesk iOS viewer app’s Settings -> Resolution,
is the custom resolution enabled? If it is, then it might not be a match to the display’s aspect ratio.
You may select a different resolution or disable it on the app or
change the resolution in the Windows display settings (right Mouse Click on Desktop → context menu “Display settings”).

[spacedesk Nicole]

Hi @donglee0612,

did you wait for the “Save All Information” button to finish?
This will show the generated folder.

[spacedesk Nicole]

Hi @kokarka,

Please try the following:
– turn off USB debugging on the Android device
– different USB cable
– directly connect to a USB3.0 or USB2.0 port
– “File Transfer” is the selected option on the Android device

[spacedesk Nicole]

Hi @donglee0612 & @xlab,

please make sure that “File Transfer” is the selected option on your Android device when using USB.

[spacedesk Nicole]

Hi @juventino,

thank you for the diagnostics.
The traces showed something from Oculus, do you use VR while spacedesk is connected?
Do you observe the issue when desktop is idle?

[spacedesk Nicole]

Hi @donglee0612,

please follow the diagnostic collection steps (screenshot attached) in the spacedesk Driver Console
and send us the generated folder e.g. YYYY-MM-DD-HHmmSS-spacedeskRuntimeDiagnostics.

Hi @wmartin573,

the spacedesk iOS viewer app is free to download from the App Store.

As per the discussion from the Apple community, this might point to a pending balance, subscription, or billing issue.

Hi @romanra,

did you mean that there was delay or lag?
Did it happen immediately upon connect?
Have you tried a different cable when connecting by USB?
Have you tried to connect to either 2.4GHz or 5GHz network when connecting wirelessly?

[spacedesk Nicole]

Hi @juventino,

does the issue always happen?
Did the primary display freeze too?
Did spacedesk recover?
Have you tried a different USB cable?

To further analyze the issue, please send us the diagnostics.
Open spacedesk Driver Console and go to Diagnostics.
Follow the collection steps and send us the generated folder (zipped/compressed).

Hi @xlab,

based on the setupapi.dev.log traces, it seems that it’s not only spacedesk that was having install/uninstall issue.
The marker “<ins>” appeared in several install/uninstall and did not continue:
– Device Installation Restrictions Policy Check
– Microsoft Bluetooth driver
(BTHENUM\{0000111f-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb}_VID&0001000f_PID&1200\7&3025e752&0&6C24A62D7BF0_C00000000)
– Realtek WiFi 6 adapter
(PCI\VEN_10EC&DEV_B852&SUBSYS_485317AA&REV_00\00E04CFFFE88520100)

Have you tried a clean boot?

Hi @blethz,

thank you very much for the feedback.
We are glad that the spacedesk Viewer app is now working on your side.
We will now close this thread.

[spacedesk Nicole]

Hi @blethz,

for clarification, the viewer is running on the laptop, right?
Do you also observe the FPS drop on other applications on this laptop?

[spacedesk Nicole]

Hi @ivypolaris,

does it always work with 30 fps?

Please send us the diagnostics to further analyze the problem.

Hi @xlab,

could you please try the following?
– open the MSI installer from a different drive
– the default destination folder path is the Program Files, please change it to a different drive

If the suggestions above did not help, generate the MSI trace. Steps:
1. Download the spacedeskMsiTraceGenerate.zip here:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/vr17lj6n63k52rh/2022_spacedeskMsiTraceGenerate.zip?dl=0
2. Extract the zip file.
3. Copy the spacedesk MSI installer inside the extracted folder then click the get_trace.bat
4. The script will prompt you to enter the MSI file name then press enter.
5. Once the issue is reproduced, please send the spacedeskmsi_trace.txt generated inside the folder.

NOTE:
get_trace.bat executes the Windows msiexec command as documented in Microsoft: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/administration/windows-commands/msiexec

Hi @orenyt,

keyboard feature is supported by the spacedesk Driver and Android viewer app.

As mentioned in the official documentation,
“On-Screen Keyboard option is available via On-screen Menu when Viewer app is connected.”

[spacedesk Nicole]

Hi @orenyt,

did spacedesk connect properly?
Was it only keyboard that was not working?
If you are using the spacedesk Android viewer app, have you tried to connect by USB cable and check if the keyboard feature is working? (To connect by USB cable, enable “USB Cable Android” in spacedesk Driver Console https://manual.spacedesk.net/AndroidUSBCableConnection.html).

Hi @blethz,

there were no other reports like this before.
Which spacedesk Viewer app are you using? Is it the Windows 7 viewer or the viewer from Microsoft Store?
Have you tried to reconnect spacedesk while charging?
On your laptop, please check in Task Manager if the CPU, Memory, or GPU usages are too high and which application is causing it.
Looking forward to your feedback.

[spacedesk Nicole]

Hi @amiga,

we released a new version of the spacedesk Android viewer app.
Could you please try it and let us know if it fixes the issue?

[spacedesk Nicole]

Hi @theboysgamer_yt,

this is an expected behavior of the “spacedesk Non-Commercial Viewer connected” pop-up window for users who use the free version of the spacedesk Viewer app.
If you wish to continue to use spacedesk as a free version, then minimizing the window is the only thing to do. Otherwise, you may switch to a commercial/licensed type spacedesk Viewer app.
