WiFi ADB - Debug Over Air

Debug/test apps on device over the air, wireless, no cable. Must-have developer tool.
WiFi ADB makes it easy to debug/test your Android apps directly on device via WiFi TCP/IP connection. No need to use USB cable. After enabling ADB over WiFi, to connect your computer to the device open the console and run

adb connect ip_address_of_the_device

REQUIREMENTS

This app works on ROOTED devices only. If you don't know what it means or your device is not rooted please don't install. Users also need to grant this app su permission when being asked.

FEATURES


★ Quickly enable/disable ADB connection over WiFi TCP/IP
★ Auto-enable ADB over WiFi on configured known SSIDs
★ Once enabled an entry is added to ongoing notification bar to remind user that ADB over WiFi is active and make it easy to disable it manually
★ The app icon can be put on status bar at all time for quick access (better than home screen widget, IMO)
★ Temporarily increase screen-off timeout. Nine times out of 10 this is what users want during development of an Android app and testing it on device. The original screen timeout value is restored when ADB over WiFi is disabled again.
★ Temporarily lock WiFi, prevent it from going into sleep mode (how effectively it works depends on device and Android version)
★ Also acts as Tasker/Locale plugin. You can configure Tasker/Locale to automatically turn on/off WiFi ADB based on other conditions

TIPS


★ If your development computer is Unix/Linux or Mac open a console and run

while true ; do adb connect phone_ip_address ; sleep 15 ; done

This one-liner auto-reconnects to ADB daemon on the phone every time the link is broken for whatever reason.


★ If you control the WiFi router, configure it to give the phone the same IP address every time. Then assign a local DNS hostname to that IP address so that you don't have to type an IP address which changes everytime in the console.

IN-APP PURCHASE

This app requires in-app purchase permission. This is for users to make donations to the app developer. Donations are voluntary and in fact do not add any extra features. But if you want to say thank-you with your wallet, you can. (Thanks!)

After update, the notification is displayed even when inactive. I know it can be disabled via global OS settings, but that is just an annoying workaround. When you migrate Android apps after a backup or anything similar, you lose OS settings. There's no way to backup this configuration! I'll probably have to look for an older apk backup. //EDIT: Well do you know any way how one can bulk backup those global settings, if you consider it to be a correct way? Google usually makes bad decisions there

It has a running process and uses memory even when not needed. Also there's a constant notification, even when off. For an app people would use occasionally, this is horrible user experience. Otherwise works as advertised. That isn't something I want from an app I use occasionally and I don't see why it is necessary. (reason for edit: removed speculation that it uses cpu – I haven't done any testing)

This hands down has been one of the best apps I found when it comes to being able to develop on the go I even tend to use it at my desk so I'm not having to scrounge around with have to get to usb cord and plug it all in to tweak any bugs found so much faster and easier than all other debugging tools that I have used this far I'm getting 3x as much done with this app. AWESOME JOB CANT WAIT TO SEE WHAT YOU COME UP WITH NEXT.

This app could be better if it can function properly with wireless tethering/portable hotspot to connect to the computer. For now, it just won't function and complain about the device is not connected to local network even when my device is providing a local network access via portable hotspot. ADB should work without any problem when accessed via portable hotspot connection and I can make it function properly if I set it up manually via terminal.

:( can't t stop the app. app is always in memory... Force stop don't help... UP: I use the app a few times in year... I don't want the app to be runed all the time in memory... The possibility of app to reopen port on reconnecting to WiFi is realy greate... but only if switch is ON... When switch is OFF and app is closed I expected full exit from app (no process in memory)... Now I must uninstall the and to install it when will need. PS: Thenks you for great app...

Best app ever! My tablet has an issue where the micro usb port is extremely buggy, which makes it very hard to use adb and develop apps. This app works flawlessly and I would recomend it to anyone who is looking for a way to use adb debuging over wifi.

Yas. T. Mar 21, 2020     

This new update keeps the app notification always showing, even when not needed, you want me to turn off it myself? But it will still keep the app awake, and disabling the whole notification means no notification even when connected, anyways I created one app for me, similar to the last update 😁, Thank you

Ale. D. Sep 26, 2020     

It works well but it has a permanently running service that never turns off, even when you're not using it. It effectively is always consuming memory when installed. The devs should disable the service when it's not in use.

Tho. K. Mar 12, 2019     

i have 2 Bugs to Report, 1. we have to manually start the app if the battery dies when the app is active, this is ok if you power it down / restart the device. 2. also the auto enable on known Wifi not working

I'm running LineageOS and magisk. The app works for me but I have to explicitly run it after a reboot. Is there any way it can run and enable adb over network at boot time without my intervention please?

Mat. M. May 16, 2020     

My main use of this app is scrcpy. And it works wonders. I have a rooted S8+ (Exynos) using custom ROM. No problem so far. The app works as inteded, incisive features and does what is promised.

Par. R. Mar 28, 2020     

Please give the option to disable the application when it's turned off. There's no reason for it to be running in the background if the service is off to begin with. I have to go in and force kill it every time to get rid of the notification.

Works great and exactly how expected with root. Able to communicate easily with development computer running Android Studio (with plugin) on my network.

Roh. M. Nov 12, 2020     

I was able to use this app in non rooted devices very efficiently , and then suddenly it stops and says that this app require rooted permission. I have no idea whats going on this app.

San. J. May 25, 2021     

Very good app. Makes Android app development very convenient. I can run apps without connecting via USB. Works great even on Android 11

Has High battery usage when not in use. Otherwise, it's a great app. You NEED ROOT when using this app. If you aren't rooted it won't work.

Mah. H. Dec 27, 2018     

Helped me a lot, was looking for some time. Also donated a very tiny amount, so if you think it really helps you please support our fellow developer.

Isr. S. Jul 28, 2021     

Great expectations I put on new apps that I install and this one hasn't let me down one bit " BIG THUMBS UP" I wish that half of the 3700 plus apps Ive downloaded and tried and kicked the tires on would have even carried a spare tire for this one...... This is 5he whole reason I felt compelled to start writing reviews try to give back to the people that spend there time making us products we can use then, save 5he time of others like myself that have downloaded thousands of apps 🙏

The quick settings WiFi ADB toggle should require unlocking the device before turning WiFi ADB on/off. Right now, you can toggle it without unlocking the device which poses a minuscule security risk.

Does the job where my phone manufacturer does not. No thanks to OnePlus for hiding adb wifi debugging from the developer settings, big thanks to this app for giving me back the functionality!

Ife. O. Feb 25, 2022     

Just installed it but it won't turn on. Instead it throws up an error saying this app requires rooted device and superuser permissions.

Wal. T. Nov 10, 2018     

Great App. Does exactly what it says. Makes debugging and deployment for mobile VR a breeze. (Pixel 2 Rooted)

Dan. F. Jan 4, 2021     

Great app; 4 stars because there's no exit button. I have to force stop the app everytime I've finished using it. I'd have contributed if it was Open Source

You. Z. Dec 6, 2020     

It was very useful for me. I lost my usb slot so I used it to debug apps for a good while. Thank you.

Ale. A. May 9, 2020     

Well, it just works! Great for debugging my apps when the USB cable is too wobbly.

Sha. S. Apr 26, 2021     

I apologize, you have to initiate the command from adb (NOT cmd). Works like a charm, sorry was just frustrated that it "didn't work", please be more specific, users are idiots.

raz. r. Feb 13, 2019     

Great app. Works exactly as it says. I'm never going back to usb debugging again.

Bet. L. Mar 15, 2019     

I love this.It works great no problems at all.It's a very good app,some apps are not good at all.This is it right here,thank you so much for making it and the others as well.

Jus. K. Mar 16, 2020     

Well honestly I have no idea how this app works. Really wish sum 1 would please text me and explain it to me. There is a lot been happening with my phone I don't quite understand

Ada. F. Mar 16, 2020     

WiFi adb is now in the habit of notifying when NOT in use. I may have to uninstall it when not in use as I require a notification when it is actually in use.
