Using Alienware Mobile Connect
This section describes the various features of the Alienware Mobile Connect application.
If your smartphone is paired using the Alienware Mobile Connect application and if it is within the Bluetooth range, the smartphone
connects automatically to the computer. If you manually disconnect your smartphone from the computer, it does not connect back
automatically. The Alienware Mobile Connect application on both the smartphone and the computer must be running for the features
to work. However, the application on the smartphone or the computer does not necessarily have to run in the foreground.
The Alienware Mobile Connect application on your computer contains seven tabs. You can click or tap the hamburger icon to extend
the left pane to display the names of all the tabs.
Dashboard
DASHBOARD enables you to see all your phone functionality at a single place. You can add, move, and remove widgets to
customize the DASHBOARD.
If you have a phone connected, DASHBOARD is displayed when you open the Alienware Mobile Connect application on your
computer. The default DASHBOARD layout includes the Messages, Contacts, and Files widgets. The functionality of each widget is
identical to the functionality of the corresponding tab.
Add or remove widgets
Steps
1. Click or tap the WIDGETS drop-down menu on top.
A list of available widgets are displayed.
2. Click or tap the widget that you want to add.
The widget is added to the right-most available space on the DASHBOARD.
3. Select and drag the widgets to change the order in which they appear.
4. Click or tap the X at upper-right corner of a widget to remove it from the DASHBOARD.
NOTE: You can also select the pop-out icon next to the X to open the corresponding tab from main menu.
Notifications
The Alienware Mobile Connect application shows you all the notifications that you receive on your phone such as social media,
weather, or email messages. You can see these notifications in the NOTIFICATIONS tab and on the NOTIFICATIONS widget
in the DASHBOARD. The notifications are grouped by application. The group title shows the application name, the total number
of notifications for that application, and the number of new notifications. By default, new notifications are displayed as pop-up
messages in the notification area on your computer.
View and respond to notifications
Steps
1. Click or tap to expand an application name to see the individual notifications from that application.
2. Click or tap the available actions under each notification depending on the application type. For example, click or tap MESSAGE
under a missed call notification to send a text message to the caller.
NOTE: If the notification has a reply option, you can reply directly from the pop-up notification. However, if you choose to
reply to a Gmail notification, the MIRRORING tab opens, to compose email from the Gmail app on your smartphone.
3. Click or tap X next to a notification to dismiss the individual notification.
4. Click or tap X next to an application to dismiss all the notifications from that application.
