Windows 11 is getting a nifty trick for quickly mirroring your Android phone right from the Start menu

Microsoft is testing a new feature in the Phone Link app for Windows 11 that allows users to mirror their Android smartphone screens onto their Windows desktops with a single click. This feature is currently being tested with a select group of users and is integrated within the Phone Link panel in the Start menu. It works particularly well with Samsung Galaxy smartphones and is compatible with specific Android devices, including Samsung Galaxy models, Asus (ROG-branded), Honor, OnePlus, Oppo, Surface Duo, Vivo, and Xiaomi. The rollout is expected to coincide with a cumulative update for Windows 11 on June 10, although initial availability may be limited. The Phone Link panel began rolling out in April for Windows 11 versions 23H2 and 24H2, with wider access becoming available in May.

I created a Samsung Routine to fix the Google Play Store’s biggest failure

Trust in the Google Play Store's ability to update Android apps has decreased among users due to inconsistent update frequencies. Samsung phone users can utilize the Modes and Routines feature to automate app updates. To set this up, users need to download the Good Lock app and its Routines+ module, then create a routine that records actions in the Play Store to update apps automatically. Users can specify a trigger time for the routine to run daily. While effective, users should monitor the routine's performance and adjust as needed, as it may not always function perfectly.

Windows can’t mirror sensitive notifications from some devices with One UI 7.0

Google's Android 15 introduces enhanced privacy features that prevent sensitive notifications from being mirrored to linked Windows PCs via Microsoft's Phone Link app. Notifications containing sensitive information, such as two-factor authentication codes and credit card details, will not be shared with third-party applications, including Phone Link. However, users with devices pre-loaded with Phone Link and supporting the Companion Device Role, like Galaxy smartphones on One UI 6.1 or newer, will still receive these notifications. Users can disable the ‘Enhanced Notifications’ setting to bypass this limitation, but doing so will also disable advanced features like reply suggestions.

Samsung is discontinuing its DeX app for Windows PCs

In 2017, Samsung launched DeX, enabling high-end Galaxy smartphone users to create desktop-like environments via a dock. By 2019, the need for a physical dock was removed, and in 2020, wireless DeX was introduced through a DeX app on Windows. With the upcoming One UI 7, support for the DeX app on Windows will end, and users will be directed to use Microsoft’s Phone Link app for mobile-PC connectivity. One UI 7 is rumored to enter beta testing in mid-December, with a broader rollout expected in early 2025. The UK Samsung DeX page states that support for DeX on Windows OS will cease with One UI 7, while the US page does not currently reflect this change. Although DeX will still be available, its access through Windows PCs will stop, with similar functionalities offered through Phone Link, which allows synchronization of notifications and text messages and operation of mobile apps on Windows 11.

I tried gaming on the Google TV Streamer, and it was just awful

The Google TV Streamer does not support all three modes of the 8bitdo SN30 Pro Plus controller, with only D-input mode working reliably for both Android TV and Google TV. Playing native Android games on the device is possible but may have latency and performance issues. Emulated console games are difficult to play due to the lack of expandable storage and a native file explorer. Streaming games from a PC using Moonlight provides the best gaming experience on the Google TV Streamer. Overall, the Google TV Streamer is not recommended as a gaming machine, and using a phone or investing in a more powerful streaming device like the NVIDIA Shield TV Pro is suggested for better gaming performance.

Users can perform various file management tasks such as cutting, copying, pasting, deleting, renaming, and moving files without needing USB connections.

Moisture warning on your Galaxy phone? Samsung says wipe your app (no really)

Samsung has released a video to help users with moisture detection warnings on Galaxy smartphones, which indicate liquid in the USB charging port. The video suggests practical steps such as unplugging the charger, cleaning the port and connector, and allowing the device to dry. Additionally, it recommends clearing the cache of the USBSettings app, suggesting that the moisture detection system may be malfunctioning rather than indicating a hardware issue. The steps to clear the cache include accessing Settings, selecting Apps, showing system apps, searching for USBSettings, and clearing the cache. Samsung does not guarantee this will fix moisture issues and advises seeking professional help if the problem persists. Users may consider wireless charging as a temporary solution while addressing any moisture concerns.

Android Auto is set to introduce support for third-party calling applications with the upcoming Android Auto 13.0 update.
