Connection over USB not working on android
Zitat von dah am 01/05/2025, 21:30 UhrHello.
Like the title says, I cannot get spacedesk to work on Android through USB, even though it works over the network. I’m running the latest available version both on my PC (2.1.45) and my android devices (2.1.19).
Whenever I connect a device through USB, it gets detected, and when I switch to file transfer (on android) spacedesk opens, but it displays a black screen and my PC does not detect any new monitor. I’ve tried many things including rebooting, reinstalling spacedesk on everything, other USB cables, and many more but so far nothing helped, however I suspect it has to do with the PC since it behaves the same on different android devices. How can I fix this Issue? Thanks.
(The PC has an RTX 3070ti (Nvidia driver 576.28), Ryzen 5 5600X, and Windows 11 24H2 build 26100.3775)

You need to uninstall Smart Connect, the one from Lenovo and Motorola. It worked for me.

We have prepared an internal Driver Package that has a potential fix for the black screen encountered when connecting via USB when Smart Connect is installed. Please test it on your side to see if the fix works on your end. Also, please be reminded that if you wish to use Smart Connect again, you can do so by turning off “USB Cable Android” in the spacedesk Driver Console. Thank you.
