[Android Apps and Games] primamortalia:
it seems that i cant connect app to my notebook using USB cable

i have root and debugging running, entered localhost:9000 into chrome but no response, just "this web page not available"

trying other method like disabling usb debugging, use camera connection instead MTP but still not working.

with wifi mode, it connected after entering pin, only small black rectangle though with no screen or anything, just black box.

when i check the phone, the app seems stopped, only ip+port with no pin displayed, and no notification running.

if i start the app again then connect, the problem come again.

i'm using motorola razr m xt907 with CM11 installed, notebook using win 7 x64

This is a brilliant app! Great job by the devs.

Personally, i feel pricing is a little high. Half the current amount would convince more people to buy without a second thought.

I wanna buy it. I just hope the price is reduced a bit.

[MENTION=4276837]Awology[/MENTION] Hi Some devices are not supported. Weak Control requires Android 4.4+ and ROOT. Some APIs that we use are not available on earlier versions of Android.

Android 5.0 support is coming very very soon.
[Android Apps and Games] WeakControl:
[MENTION=5525875]yogeshp10[/MENTION] Android 5.0 support is comming very soon.

[Android Apps and Games] WeakControl:
[MENTION=5174770]Skhulile[/MENTION].

Try using 720p and if this is not helping lower the bitrate from the settings. Keep in mind that after changing any setting you need to restart (stop/start the capture service). Also sometimes Google Chrome is not working well and needs restarting. Make sure you are using the latest version of Chrome aswell

Otherwise thanks for the heads up. We are planning on many great features for the next versions.

[Android Apps and Games] WeakControl:
Hi [MENTION=3419704]Szighy[/MENTION].

The idea of the free version is to demo our capabilities. It is fully functional but has time limit and ads. Still its useful app so someone that will not want to buy the full version but wants to be able to check his email, whatsapp or some other app occasionally.

The free version is useful if someone needs to decide weather to buy the full version or not. To check if all is working on your device.

We strongly believe in "try before you buy".

Hope this helps,

Can you try using USB cable. Just to isolate the network. Some networks do not allow device and PC to see each other.

The Weak Control Team
[Android Apps and Games] WeakControl:
Hi [MENTION=3816758]sicut[/MENTION]. Can you try lowering your resolution and/or bitrate. Weak Control should work with no lag on devices like yours. Also if something is hogging the CPU on the PC/Mac/Chromebook while connected you will see some lag. Make sure you have restarted Chrome. Sometimes the Chrome's video decoder is making such things. Also you should be using a PC with good video card.

Check our FAQ @ http://www.weakcontrol.com/frequentquestions.html for more details.

We are pretty it will work for you

well i tried it on Nexus 7 (2013), just as shown on tk's video, but still lags :P so I don't know what is the problem, maybe the internet? don't know

---------- Post added at 12:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:03 AM ----------

I will definitely buy it :P once I'm not so short on money :D
[Android Apps and Games] WeakControl:
[MENTION=3419704]Szighy[/MENTION]

Did you try the 720p setting and lowering the bitrate from the settings. Make sure you restart (stop/start) the capture service after changing the settings.

It should work like in TK's review video or the demo video at our site www.weakcontrol.com

write us back with the result.

thanks
[Android Apps and Games] sicut:
Hey, thanks for the support, appreciate it.

But I already tried all possible preference changes in your app (resolution, bitrate).

When using the app, my PC (Thinkpad x230) is idling - nearly no CPU load. The Chrome install was clean...just for the app.

I don't think it's the connection or the client...the whole smart phone i lagging when the app is running.

Like I already mentioned, it's all the same with TeamViewer Quick Support.

So when you say the hardware of the phone should be sufficent, I suppose it's something with the ROM/driver setup. I checked the for any GPU setting, but didn't find any (developer options). SlimKat is not that experimental in that way as far as I know. The kernel is also the bundled on with SlimKat. Only some sound mods installed (Viper, volume boost), no overclock or anything like that.

The load on the phone looks kinda normal. Your media server process uses 20% CPU load max. But still the whole phone seems to run with 2 FPS when the server is running.

If you want dig deeper I could look through some logs tomorrow. Maybe you can tell me what to look for.

But no hard feelings if that's too much...you can't support all devices, especially on custom ROMs.

Cheers

sicut
[Android Apps and Games] WeakControl:
Hi sicut,

Just to make sure.

When changing settings you did restart the capture service right? (stop/start). The settings take effect the next time you start the capture. Maybe try again with that in mind to see whats the result.

If you have tried that already that may really be the phone ROM or sth.

thanks.

The Weak Control Team
[Android Apps and Games] sicut:
Ya, sry, forgot to mention that. I did try the stop/start routine you mentioned, too. Just gave it a try again but with the same result...lagging phone and lagging stream :-/
[Android Apps and Games] Skhulile:
The suggestion to lower the bit rate seems to reduce the lagging, but all around it still lags. I also think it's just my device, because what happens is, once it's connected my device starts lagging also, and immidiatelty I disconnect it, it works smooth as usual, maybe Weak Control is just too demanding for my tablet, anyway i'll definitely buy this app, once everything starts to work well on my side. :)

[Android Apps and Games] WeakControl:
Hi tj_cute,

You should be able to use the keyboard. Please check the demo video at our site www.weakcontrol.com or here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kfj6tY20qHc

You should be able to use any language as well. Basically if you are able to type in that language in the browser we should support it.

I have a weird problem. First I installed the free version and it worked perfectly. Then I purchased the full version but it says that "Weak Control failed". Here is what I've tried:

- Uninstalled the free version and installed the paid version again: didn't work.

- Uninstalled the paid version, cleared cache and Dalvik cache, installed the paid version: didn't work.

I have root and I'm on Touchwiz 4.4.2 on Samsung Note 2.

Hi Teo128

The video in the browser should scale with the size of the browser window. Can you start Chrome in incognito mode to test if some extension is not interfering with Weak Control web client. Some css is not applied correctly. Also if can you test by creating a new user in Chrome and switching this window to the new user this can also isolate any extensions and configurations your current Chrome User has.

Thanks,

[Android Apps and Games] Teo128:
I always use Firefox so my Chrome browser(last version) its stock with no extensions and I have resetted the configurations. You also avoided the pie controls/navbar and audio issues.

Sometime it even freeze and I need to restart the system to stop it too.
[Android Apps and Games] Clausen:
Great software, Thx :)

It would be cool if i can pass the pin with a GET variable, like http://127.0.0.1:9000/?pin=1234, or at least to finish the entry with the enter key.

By the way, a nice softkey replacement is "Button Savior".
[Android Apps and Games] AndroidDeveloperLB:
I have a few questions about the app:

1. can it make the device's screen turn black (or even be turned off) while I perform operations on the PC (and control the device) ?

I ask this so that it won't consume the battery and won't damage the screen (screen burns, for example) .

2. Can you please make it easier to use USB ?

3. How does it work? I mean, how does it take the video and audio of the device? I thought this is problematic, which is why some devices cannot do screen recording well.

4. is there an explanation about the permissions being used? For example, why does it need location permission? Ads aren't supposed to need it, especially not precise location...

5. when I chose "connect" (and entered the pin code before), it doesn't do anything (even though root was given). How come?

My device is SGS3 (i9300) running on CM nightly rom (kitkat 4.4.x).

All I see is a black rectangle..

This happens even when using a USB cable.
[Android Apps and Games] JustusIV:

Weak Control 1.8 released

Weak Control v1.8 released

* Added soft keys support

* Fix for audio not transmitted to browser on certain devices

* Fixed showing PIN when activity is reopened

* Added messages for connection error and wrong PIN

* Other minor fixes

As usual it will take some time for the update to come online on Play Store

Next up: Android 5.0 Lollipop support.

Cheers

Enjoy the power of your device

[Android Apps and Games] Teo128:
Tested the V1.8

Audio now works buts there is some lag beetween video and audio. The audio comes late about 0,4 second

Great idea the navigation bar, can you possibly do something like that for the status bar? Its still impossible for me to get the status bar in immersive mode. SLim pie still doesn't work

With navbar active now my screen isn't chopped but there is some empty space both horizontaly and vertically. Maybe you should add support for 768p.
[Android Apps and Games] WeakControl:
Hi [MENTION=989193]Clausen[/MENTION],

We just released a version with soft keys support. Enable it in the settings.

As for the get variable we already thought about it and its in our list. Still we are considering the implications. It's very easy to leave trails with your PIN in Chrome history and somebody to connect with it later without you knowing. We have plans to enable the scenario of even easily connecting to your phone than currently. Stay tuned.

[Android Apps and Games] WeakControl:
Hi trololox,

There may be some problem with the network you are on. In order for Wifi connections to work both PC and phone should be on same Wifi and should be visible. Some routers do not allow wireless clients to access each other. So if you have a laptop and phone the router may be configured to not allow them to see each other.

Can you try the USB method in order to isolate the network and verify that indeed the network is the problem.

Hi [MENTION=4960465]chrislam1220[/MENTION]

Not exactly. If the screen goes off you see a black image. If you want to preserve battery disable the option "Keep screen On" from Weak Control Settings. Depending on your device Display->Sleep settings when time comes display will be dimmed but not turned off completely so Weak Control will continue to work and you will see the image on the browser. Still the screen will be dimmed preserving battery.

Hi thornz,

Thanks for writing to us. Can you send us the logcat after you try to connect. We need to see whats logged there. Also do you have Pebble app installed.

Weak Control uses port 9000 and it seems pebble app uses the same port for developer connection. There is a setting to disable this in Pebble app. We will be looking of adding an option to change the connection port of Weak Control. But for now that may be causing the issue. Also please update to the latest version of Weak Control if you have used the apk from the first post.
