Vysor app issues? - Shield Android TV Themes and Apps

just dropped $40 on the vysor pro app (hard to tell what it can really do with the free version) but can't seem to get it to accept wireless mode when trying to mirror my shield to my pc, when i try i get the below message... i've also installed vysor on a tablet and it has no problem with wireless mode... i've tried every recommendation i could find in order to resolve this prob but no luck, which includes:
- disabling ipv6
- trying both 2.4 and 5.0 wireless connections
- updating universal adb drivers
- changed usb configurations (mtp, ptp, etc.)
also worth mentioning, my shield wi-fi works fine with everything else, and shows in my windows explorer.

I just found this thread long after I got Vysor (and scrcpy) to work (almost) flawlessly on Android 11 (with USB setting up the initial adb connection and then switching to Wi-Fi thereafter)....
In early May I updated from Android 11 to Android 12 and I found out that Android 12 has a fantastic new Developer option "Wireless debugging" feature where you can set up the adb connection to the PC completely over Wi-Fi (no need for the initial USB connection!).
I just wanted people to know new information related to using Vysor completely over Wi-Fi (no USB connection is ever needed again!).
This always on Wi-Fi Vysor capability is new in Android 12 because Android 12 has a new Developer option for "Wireless debugging".
However, Android 12 also has a new Developer option for "Enhanced MAC Randomization" which randomizes the MAC address on every Wi-Fi connection, so with that added desired Wi-Fi simplicity in Android 12 comes also the added desired privacy of MAC randomization on every connection (the difference being Android 11 only randomized the MAC per SSID, as far as I understand it).
All this new Android 12 functionality has implications for your Vysor (and scrcpy) setup, based on my tests over the past couple of months.
Of course, if your router is using the MAC address to hand out the IP address you might need address reservation since the router can no longer expect a consistent MAC address if you set that new Android 12 Developer option but you can set the Android phone to request a "Static" IP address (if you want the adb connect commands to be consistent in the IP address in day to day usage).
I have found that rebooting the PC causes me to need to reconnect via an adb command on the PC before Vysor will work, and, for unknown reasons yet, often the Android 12 "Wireless debugging" switch gets turned off (mysteriously) - which affects the Vysor (and scrcpy) connections from one day to another.
It's no big deal once you figure out the commands and switches though, where the screenshots below show the settings I currently have on my unrooted Android 12 Samsung Galaxy A32-5G phone from T-Mobile (many of which are for privacy and functionality reasons).

[Q] How does android determine if it has internet connectivity

Question is as exactly as it is in the title; how does Android come to the conclusion that it has complete internet connectivity (or connection to google services), and consequently will turn the signal bars blue (on stock android devices).
I am trying to fix a problem at work where if I put my phone on the company wifi, my phone never seems to think it has internet connectivity, even though I do. The consequence is most apps don't attempt to pull new data, and therefor never notify me of new messages. This includes gmail, google voice, and hangouts.
I don't have direct control of the network infrastructure at the moment, so right now it is easier to know what address or IP it tries to get to, and how (ping?), so it can be unblocked by the firewall or web filter.

check your settings>wireless & Networks> WIFI>check Network notification this will inform you when there are other open wifi networks present > you need to connect to that network with password or scroll down to add WIFI network (you can add any network when you know its SSID and security used.
if you unchecked network notifications, you will " NOT" know or use of any new networks other than what you have used before.

I'm not having any issues finding or connecting to wifi, the problem is at my buisness when on wifi, android does not detect an internet connection; so it thinks I just have local network access, so most apps do not auto refresh in the background.

[Solved] File Manager - FTP Share

Hi Guys,
I've been using File Manager for years now as I found it to be the simplest and most functional file manager I've encountered.
I'm using this app also to share my phone's folders to the network so I can transfer files wireless to and from the device.
Lately on my Z ultra, I noticed that this app is not showing the correct IP address of my phone and other devices cannot connect to it using the said IP address.(ex: 10.50.156.81:2121)
It is working fine on my Galaxy Note 1..
Screenshot:

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I would then have to check the "default gateway" on my computer when it is connected to my Ultra's hotspot so I can determine what is the IP address of my phone.
Screenshot:
Any ideas why it would say a different IP address?
I cannot determine where did 10.50.156.81:2121 come from...
It does not look like a LAN IP to me.. They normally start with 192.168.x.x right?
I also checked the External IP of my phone given by my service provider and it is 10.60.xx.xx so it cannot be my external IP.
Your ideas would be helpful..I also sent an email to the app's dev (still waiting for reply) but I'm hoping for a second thought from my fellow XDA users.
Also, anybody knows what is the best equivalent of "ipconfig" in terminal emulator? That way, I can check my phone's LAN IP from the phone itself.
Google gives me different answers.
I downloaded the app and started the hotspot and got
When writing the ipconfig in the terminal Im getting the same default gateway so I don't think you should bother with that.
Type the Ip adress you are provided in the app and the port.
Signed in without any issues
That's the problem... Other devices won't connect using the IP and port given by the app.. They just time out and disconnect... They can only connect using the 192.168.x.x address...
What's the command you used on terminal so I can check on my end?
"ip -d" won't work for me.. Sorry i have zero experience with terminal.. Lol
Sent from my C6833 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
try ifconfig
it could be that your app is not recognising the private IP, and resorts to using the public ip provided by your service provider (which typically blocks most ports)
what you can try is to disable data when connecting to your wifi network, that way the app won't be confused as to which one to use. there are several types of profiling apps that can do this, i use EasyProfiles Pro for my mobile.
This option didn't exist
Weird..
I have tried it again but it now seems like my previous statement is wrong...
The app now shows my external IP assigned to me by my Service Provider.
I used the command busybox ifconfig to get the info...
Apologies as i have blurred info that i think is sensitive and should be kept private for my device. Like I said in OP, I have zero experience with terminal. :fingers-crossed:
Terminal Emulator:
Well up until now, the developer haven't sent a reply and I'll just stick to using terminal to see my Phone's local IP. Seems like it does not change though as long as I am the hotspot. :victory: I know connecting to another wifi hotspot would make my phone follow that network's DHCP :highfive:
Thanks for the replies! I'll give you a cookie as soon as I post this..

I don't know what option you are referring to since I can't see the pics you have pasted on your post (maybe due to my poor internet connection right now) but I will assume you are referring the the option to share your phone to the network.
Steps:
1. Open the app
2. on the set of icons on the top, scroll to the far right,
3. Click Network
4. click Share
5. Select the Folder you want to share to the network.
6. *optional* type in a username/password combination for the users to use or just leave it blank to have it free access for all.

[Q] How do you "Forget" out-of-range Wi-Fi networks???

I've looked all over the place, but there does not appear to be a method to "Forget" a Wi-Fi connection unless you are in range of the Access Point. Does anyone know where the S6 stores all the saved Wi-Fi connection profiles? They do not appear under Settings -> Wi-Fi, that only shows you the ones that are currently in range, not your previously saved profiles.
I'm asking because I'd like to delete all the unsecured APs I've connected to in the past, due to the recent kepboard security bug announcement. I don't want to accidentally go in range of a stored unsecured network and put my phone at further risk.
I'm answering my own question. I had to go out and download a 3rd party Wi-Fi manager app in order to display the saved out-of-range networks. Why this functionality is not built into the stock OS is beyond my wisdom.
Not sure why it doesn't work on yours, but on my S6 Edge (Verizon) I can go into settings, wifi, more, manage networks, and then long-press any entry and select "forget".
Same problem here, on unlocked and fully updated S6. There's no "manage networks" available in the Settings->Wi-Fi->More menu. Had to use 3rd party app to forget the networks...

Better to just get used to it, or go with a different manufacturer, the direction Samsung has been going the last couple years screams iPhone. Just look at how they built the s6, s6 edge. It's only a matter of time before everything they make will be running tizen.

Just my opinion but I think the S6 is the best Galaxy they've made, both hardware and software. Very few issues with my S6 apart from this wifi network management.
I just wish they would release a Gear S2 running Android Wear instead of Tizen...
I downloaded the WiFi Manager app and when I try to delete an old Wifi network, my S6 gives me an error message that says that WiFi networks can only be deleted from the app they were created in, which means it can only be deleted in Samsung's own WiFi Settings screen
The WiFi Manager third party app has an option to list Known Networks. Touching one brings up the option to forget it.
Unfortunately all you get under Nougat is a message that Android 6 only allows changes by the app that created the entry.
If the network is within range you can go to Settings / Connections / WiFi, touch a memorized network, and options come up including "Forget." But only if it's within range.
To forget "linksys", which my S7 insists on connecting to wherever it finds one, I took an old wifi router, configured it with the SSID "linksys", and was then able to see and forget it in Settings / Connections / WiFi.
It shouldn't be this hard.
?
This is the Method: Suppose you want to forget wifi network (test) Create a hotspot of another phone named (test) Security type>Wpa2 Passwork:12345678 Now turn on your s6 wifi Click forget enjoy

Possible to connect to wifi AND cellular data at same time?

Hi all. I have a new Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV s-edition 2017, who got app control through wifi spot from car. However, the wifi range is horrible, so I was wondering if you guys know of any phone that can be connected to both wifi net (without internet) and same time connected to internet through cellular data (3g or 4g)
What I want:
Have a phone in car, connected to the cars wifi net (no internet) and through perhaps an app like airdroid, connect to that phone, and that way connect to the car through internet.
I have tried this with honor 7, but this so called smart phone, either is on wifi with no internet, or cellular data with internet. It will not work on both nets at same time.
Is the any android phone this would work on, or is there any workaround/hack to make this work. Surely, this has to be possible?
-Thanx, Ray

If your android running on marshmallow then there is a option in developer setting of cellular data always active. Turn that feature on and connect to mobile data and wifi simultaneously.
Ashwinirg answered the question, but I want to throw in that there are services, like Speedify, which claim some sort of "channel bonding" that merge your WiFi with your data connection to enhance your speed. I have no idea if Speedify or similar services actually work, but if you're interesting in enabling wifi + cellular data together, you might want to look into those services also.

Don't know if it is available in android nougat but it may be it available on marshmallow then it also available in Nougat..
Update:
So I bought myself a Lenovo p2, cause of its bigger battery, but it seems like it's not able to go between cellular data and wifi seamlessly like honor 7 did. It got the same options in developer mode, but it's not working.

Certain apps work if set right. It's kind of like downloading a torrent. Multiple connections work together to transfer the same file resulting in much faster speeds.

Question Mobile/Cellular Data turns off when on USB Debbuging Mode and connected to scrcpy

Hello Everybody,
today I tried to use scrcpy to remote control my Pixel 6 (Android 12, Build Number SP2A.220405.004) via USB.
USB Debugging has been activated.
However, as soon as I establish a connection from scrcpy to my phone, the cellular data symbol switches to this

As soon as I disconnect the usb cable it will have a data connection again.
Does anybody have an idea where this could come from?
Did I miss some settings?
Thanks in advance

Im not familiar with the phone, but there are some settings that could be causing the issue. Here are a few:
In 'developer options', the switch 'Verify Apps over USB' could prevent the program from running...switch that to 'off'. Check Google Play Protect, turn off to test. Those may not be allowing the 'scrcpy' to function.
Also, the phone may think its in a wifi network, so it kills the data connection. In 'dev options' there should be a switch called 'Mobile data always active', when wifi is active, turn that on.
In Settings, under 'Hotspot & Tethering', there is a switch 'USB Tethering' ->share phone's internet connection via USB ->set to on.
In 'Wi-Fi Preferences', the switch 'Auto switch to mobile data', set to on.
Test also the 'Tethering hardware acceleration' option in 'dev options', it may be interfering with the program.
It could just be a tethering issue.
On a final note, if you have root or command line access, you can set the local routing tables to function with wifi & data like this:
1. "ip rule" //shows routing tables
2. "ip rule add from all lookup main pref 1" //adds table as 2nd in line.
The latter rule allows data & wifi to function in same routing network. May or may not be necessary to resolve your issue.
Wow - I didn't expect a reply that fast
I'll check the settings later when I'm back at a PC and post my results. Thanks a lot @Xpltr
Simply disabling wifi solves the problem.
Thank you for all the tips, maybe I'll find some time in the future to check the other points and find the root cause.
