Weak Control Android 5.0 support issues list

As we are moving closer to Android 5.0 support can you write us what issues do you have with Weak Control on your Lollipop device. What is the device and which version of SuperSu do you use.

We are already aware of:

* Nexus 6 not working cause of audio capture initialization issues.

* Nexus 5 works with alternative rotation enabled only (otherwise on disconnect it crashes)

Help us collect as much issues so we are able to fix them sooner.

Cheers,

Weak Control 2.0 Released

Hi everyone,

We just released Weak Control 2.0 which bring Android 5.0 Lollipop support and LG G3 audio fixes.

As usual allow some time for Google Play to propagate the update and report any issues you might have here or on our support email.

Enjoy the power of your device

Hi [MENTION=4819651]its_Khal[/MENTION]

You need to forward two ports using adb

adb forward tcp:9000 tcp:9000

adb forward tcp:9003 tcp:9003

and then use the http://localhost:9000 url to connect.

One note:

If you have Pebble Developer tools you need to change its port since it conflicts with Weak Control 9000 port. We will be working on improving the connection options and this will be resolved.

cheers

Owning a 2nd generation Nexus 7 from 2013, there are 2 things i noticed:

- when setting the video resolution to 1080p, the browser screen stay completely white. 720p works

- each mouse click is "off" it's target by the height of the bottom navigation bar (example: say the navigation bar is X pixel in height, then the mouse click will be registered X pixel above the point where i actually clicked in the browser window) forget that: it's just off the target in landscape rotation. portrait seems fine

running stock Android version 5.0.1

my feedback:

- / bugs

quite high latency from phone to pc

scrollwheel is detected as mouse click

mouse macros (e.g. back) not working, you could try to somehow lock the mouse/commands in the browser tab

fullscreen on phone is bugged on pc

app doesnt recognize that fullscreen application has been quit and keeps the image turned by 90° → touchscreen rotation turns, so clicking isnt accurate at all anymore

+

nice concept

?

will it work over vpn?

that's it so far, i'll keep it on my phone, looking forward for updates!

Seems useful, lets try it

Hi hotochan123,

Some devices have problems with 1080p resolution and fail to capture screen video at it. That's why you have 720p working. Still we will make a fix so it is the default on Nexus 7 devices. If you could send us the device logcat when 1080p is set would help us. Sent us a PM with that.

As for off point touches this is a bug that we will try fixing in the next version. Can you give us the device resolution you are running if not the default?

thanks,

It was working a while ago. Then suddenly it stopped working.

Through wifi after entering the PIN, connect, then I only see white screen.

On my phone a toast appeared saying Weak Control connected but nothing is casted on the browser. The Notification Icon disappeard btw.

I am using a Nexus 5.
[Android Apps and Games] WeakControl:
Hi ipois0n1

Thanks for the valuable feedback.

Lets try to answer

* Scrollwheel on some devices is indeed detected as touch. Scrollwheel scrolling is still experimental and is working on some devices. So we left it enabled. We will be working on improving this.

* Latency should be very small. Can you try lowering video resolution and/or video bitrate. It depends on the network conditions and what applications are running on the PC. If something is hogging the CPU you may experience this. Also sometimes Google Chrome needs restarting and it works fine after that.

* Touch in landscape is broken on Nexus 7 2013. We will try fixing this. What is your device and what is its resolution?

* For mouse locking we are not sure. We need to keep this simple so it works on many devices and PC configurations. But we will be providing keyboard shortcuts for back, home etc.

* Same for landscape. We will make a keyboard shortcut that allows to switch the orientation landscape/portrait and back so it will not be automatic but you can easily switch them

* For more ways to connect. We are planning on improving connections support. We are planning WebRTC support which if it is able to work over VPN you use it will work for your scenario. Otherwise you can fallback to USB connection mode.

Hi payas0,

Which version of Chrome do you use? Also did you try restarting your phone?

If you could send us the device logcat when this happens it will help

Thanks,

Just a suggestion, if possible, can you include an option to shut the phone's screen while it is being mirrored ? Say, I am playing a game and I am using my computers screen, so it be great if I can shut down the display of the phone while playing. Because I noticed after playing for around 20 mins, my phone is really really hot.
[Android Apps and Games] khagenmgr:
The apps works great on z2. But the thing while playing fifa 14 the screen shows half. Means its not rotating the main screen on landscape. M i missing some setting coz i checked the available setting but couldnt figure it out. Any help. Thanks devs for the great work though.

:thumbup:

Edit - now make setting of rotating n restart ... Then it work ... Thanks guys

usb isnt working for me btw
[Android Apps and Games] WeakControl:
Hi payas0,

Turning off the screen is not possible on Android. If you turn it off while mirroring it will be black on PC screen. The device gets hot most probably cause you are playing a game not so much cause the mirroring. Try leaving it connected on a live wallpaper for example. Still if the API allows this in the future we will add it.

Thanks,

The Weak Control Team.

We identified the problem with mouse touch off target. We will fix it and release a version with that fix and some others.

How are you testing the USB connection? You should forward two ports 9000 and 9003 and connect to localhost.

Like so:

adb forward tcp:9000 tcp:9000

adb forward tcp:9003 tcp:9003

http://localhost:9000

Write us back if you succeeded or not.

Thanks,

Hi I like the app very much.. Its working as it should be.. I have a feature request.. Can we cast the screen and turn off the screen on mobile? I mean when we have the screen in the pc then why do we need to keep the mobile screen off as it will increase battery usage.. If possible please add this function thanks

Can you add higher bit rate options ?
[Android Apps and Games] veryproudmonkey:
Why does this app only work with PS4 remote play menus but not the streaming video? Can this be fixed in the Weak Control app or will it need to be modified in the PS4 remote play app?

Issue: Menus of PS4 remote play app are displayed in Weak Control but streaming video is not.

Hi, I'm testing the free version. What's the different with the paid? With the free, I can't seem to connect wired even after performing adb forward 9000 and 9003 ports. No errors appear. It just seems to connect only through wifi.
[Android Apps and Games] veryproudmonkey:
You can connect with fake-wifi on xposed without being connected to the same WiFi.

okay first of all this idea is great......

but there is one issue

i am using it on nexus 5 cataclysm rom

there are two cases:

case 1: video settings 480p/2mbps

almost smooth.....bit of lag

case 2: video settings 1080p/2/4/6mbps

total lag cant swipe between app drawer smoothly and games are stuck

transfer speed does not cross 1.5-1.8 mBps in either case and i guess my router can transfer at greater speeds plz help i really want to play games at 1080p lagfree and there is no lag on my phone(i was reading sm previous comments they r having dont know why)

Hi [MENTION=5914758]ironclad1911[/MENTION]

Have you tried rebooting your phone and restarting Google Chrome. Also make sure there is no application hogging the CPU on your PC.

Also if you see a message for falling back to legacy decoder that make sens. The legacy decoder is for cases where Google Chrome can't power up the new video decoder. The legacy decoder is slow, usually around 7 to 10 fps but is there to allow you to use the app in such cases. Can you try updating your Chrome version or install Google Chrome Canary. Which is the latest Chrome build version and can be installed side by side to your current Chrome without messing it up.

The the option is to try to use USB connection. Check our FAQ @ our site www.weakcontrol.com how to use USB connections.

Write us back with the result. Nexus 5 should be playing 1080p very fast at maximum bitrate. But it may be the ROM you are using. On stock N5 4.4.x or 5.0 it is flying.

Hi [MENTION=4133399]sherpa25[/MENTION]

This is strange. Are you sure adb forwarding is working on your setup. Usually USB connections should be working fine since they isolate any network issues and you are connecting to localhost. Check that no software is using these ports 9000 or 9003 on you PC.

Cheers,
