SpaceDesk Android no longer shows the LAN Discovery check box to find LAN Devices

#1 · 08/10/2025, 02:04

For about a month now, the SpaceDesk app for Andriod is not showing Discovery check box to find LAN Devices as shown on the picture. I need to be able to disable LAN discovery because I don’t use that to connect to primary machines, but an IP I created for that specific device, but as I’m not able to disable LAN discovery I can’t connect with that IP. If I press the + button and enter the IP manually it stays on “IP-Validation in progress for ever and never connects, which did not occur when I was able to disable LAN discovery.. Why can’t I disable LAN discovey anymore and is there a workaround for this? Perhaps an older version of SpaceDesk?

Thanks in advance

Months and no reply. Is there any more useless forum? Hahaha. Cheers

Hi @gustavo-4,

Apologies for not replying. The feature was removed for consistency with other spacedesk Viewer apps for other platforms like iOS and Windows. But I will raise this to the development team to discuss if it needs to be returned or some other feature will be implemented. Will keep you updated. Thanks.
