Hi,

It seems that audio initialization fails and the app crashes.

Can you send us your /system/etc/audio_policy.conf file.

Also we will make a new setting to disable audio on such ROMS that have these audio issues, so at least video and input are working.

We will try to resolve the audio issue as well, if possible or fallback to no audio automatically.

cheers

Where can I check if these ports are used/available? Ne er forwarded a port previously for another software. Sorry, I'm not too techy. When I typed the adb forward commands, they just returned to the prompt, so I assumed they were fine.

Also, what's different in the pro version? Tnx.

Hi sherpa25,

Can you write us what the adb forward command outputs. The whole text.

The Pro version do not have ads and no wait time. Also some extra features like custom PIN setting etc.

cheers
[Android Apps and Games] sherpa25:
Hi. There is no output. It simply goes back to the command prompt. So after adb for 9000, I simply adb for 9003, then it goes back again to prompt, no message nor error.

I see, tnx.

[Android Apps and Games] WeakControl:
Hi,

Something is not correct on this setup. Have you tried restarting adb server. Unfortunately if adb is not working you can't connect using USB. You can also check if some other program is using either 9000 or 9003 port.

Start Resource Monitor

Start>>All Programs>>Accessories>>System Tools>>Resource Monitor

There maybe some antivirus that blocks adb forwarding as well.

After you forward ports you should be able to see them with

adb forward --list

Also check that you have indeed started Weak Control server by clicking Start button before you connect. That's obvious but it happens...

You can also try on different machine.

cheers
[Android Apps and Games] sherpa25:
Can you show how to restart the adb server? In Resource Monitor, what do I look for?

I run the following again (with my S4 connected via USB):

adb devices --> 0f8c0133

adb forward tcp:9000 tcp:9000 --> no message, returns to prompt

adb forward tcp:9003 tcp:9003 --> no message, returns to prompt

adb forward --list --> (result)

0f8c0133 tcp:9000 tcp:9000

0f8c0133 tcp:9003 tcp:9003

BTW, when I was connected thru wifi yesterday, I was able to display on the website. But how do I rotate the display on the PC (i.e. while playing a game w/c auto-rotates)? It showed as portrait in the PC. Thanks again.

Hi veryproudmonkey

If you don't see the video it means it is protected and the Android API does not allow capturing protected video.

Weak Control 2.1 released

* Added "Disable audio" setting for devices that have issues with audio API capturing resulting in no video output.

* Fixed wrong mouse touches in landscape on certain devices.

* Fixed video resolution on high end devices that have high resolution displays.

* Fixed fallback to video only mode if audio capturing fails on certain devices.

As usual if you have any issues and suggestions contact us. We are always listening.

Enjoy and have fun with Weak Control
[Android Apps and Games] sherpa25:
Does this app/module affect actual wifi usage? I tried it and weak worked in USB, however I noticed my other apps (email, tapatalk, Google play app downloading) no longer worked. This despite the fact that I only selected 'Weak' in the list of apps that should detect 'fake wifi' in the module's settings. So does this mean I have to activate the module only when using Weak, and disable/reboot when using the other mentioned apps?
[Android Apps and Games] veryproudmonkey:
You shouldn't have to use USB when using hotspot and fake WiFi. When you are using your phone as a hotspot it turns WiFi off. No need to reboot. Your other apps that depend on WiFi will use data through cellular data. Your WiFi turns back on automatically when you turn hotspot off. Nothing to do with the fake WiFi module.
[Android Apps and Games] sherpa25:
Sorry, but i don't quite get it. I wanted to be able to display my S4 on the PC thru USB, for speed. My original issue was that Weak app didn't display my S4 on my PC even when connected thru USB, but it did when I installed the module. It worked too just on wifi but too slow. So can I display via usb without the module?

Hi everyone,

We just released Weak Control 2.2.

It fixes a critical flaw of keyboard not working when soft keys are enabled.

Happy typing

[Android Apps and Games] andillaTO:
Hello all,

The new update works great for me! Fixed the keyboard issues I had and is way more snappier than before. Still not quite in realtime yet, I say ¼ sec lag. But I got faith this developer will perfect it overtime.

Keep it up! :thumbup:
[Android Apps and Games] WeakControl:
Hi andillaTO,

You can try lowering the resolution and/or the bitrate to improve the speed. Also it may be related to how you connect. Sometimes using USB is faster sometimes Wifi is. It depends on the specifics for everyone.

Glad it's working for you better. We will improve it even more in the future.

Cheers

[Android Apps and Games] mac9:
Damn, this app is so great! Very happy to buy it.

It works well on my Note 4 on my home computer. On my work computer, however, I can connect, but in Chrome the screen area is just blank. I can, however, use my mouse or the keyboard to swipe around. If I enable on-screen controls, I can see those controls in my browser, and they work fine, but I still can't see the phone's screen. I've played with the Weak Control video settings, but no configuration makes a difference.

I'm connecting via wifi on both computers. Both are Windows 7 x64, using the latest stable version of Chrome. The only difference I could see is that Weak Control works on the computer that has the 64-bit version of Chrome, while it doesn't on the computer with the 32-bit version. I updated the latter to the 64-bit version of Chrome, but it still shows the blank white screen. My guess is that this wouldn't be the root cause anyway.

Either way, I may have reinstall Windows for other reasons, so hopefully this will just work once I do.

Again, thanks for such a useful app!
[Android Apps and Games] WeakControl:
Hi mac9,

If you have such problems of video not displaying you can try two things

1.You enable legacy video decoder

Connect using this url http://x.y.z.w:9000?legacy_decoder

This will enable the legacy decoder that works but is limited to 7 to 10 fps. This enables the video on every Chrome version and the app is usable. But is not perfect. Still you can use this when travelling or at some friend house etc to send some emails, some chat and casual app usage.

2. You download Chrome Canary on your PC.

This will enable the modern video decoder on PCs where the current latest version of Google Chrome still can not power the Weak Control fast video decoder. Chrome Canary is designed to be installed side-by-side with your current Chrome so it will not interfere with it. You can continue to use Canary until there is a stable Chrome version that allows the fast video decoder to work.

Unfortunately we rely on Google Chrome to work correctly which sometimes is not the case. Still new versions of Chrome will start to roll soon so this is only temporary.

Cheers,

[Android Apps and Games] WeakControl:
Hi [MENTION=2111743]coolkoushik07[/MENTION],

Can you reboot your device just to be sure it's not something with it's state.

We will need the device logcat to debug the issue. If Alternative Rotation is enabled and still not rotating image on PC it means the ROM is doing something totally strange from android API perspective. Can you send us the device logcat from the time before clicking start till the time you connect and rotate the device.

You can use this app for the logcat https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nolanlawson.logcat if you don't have adb tools.

Thanks,

The Weak Control Team
[Android Apps and Games] mac9:
Enabling the legacy decoder does work, thank you for that suggestion. But with a fresh install of Canary, only the on-screen controls are still visible.

I just emailed a logcat of just before turning Weak Control on to after I connect via Canary and, using the on-screen controls, press the home button one time (since the controls work, I just can't see it work in the browser).
[Android Apps and Games] WeakControl:
Hi [MENTION=2789011]mac9[/MENTION],

Do you have any success with the fast video decoder using the latest version of Canary. Some of the previous versions did indeed brake Weak Control but now it seems the Chrome bugs are fixed.

Cheers,

The Weak Control Team
[Android Apps and Games] mac9:
Hey! Been away, sorry for slow reply. And thx for checking back in.

The issue arises on one of the two computers I use: Nav bar shows, but the screen doesn't. This happens on latest Chrome stable and canary, no matter the video resolution and bitrate in settings. Like you said before, it must be my video drivers.

At least it works on my work computer though. Basically the same specs as my home computer, but clearly something is different that makes it work. I can live with it.

Great app though, keep the good work!

Weak Control v2.3 released

Hi everyone we just released Weak Control v2.3 with huge usability improvements and fixes.

Note: This is a Pro version release. The Free version update is coming.

NEW: Added shortcuts for Power, Home, Back, App switch, Volume up/down/mute, Rotate screen

NEW: Shortcuts help window. (Press CTRL + ALT + ? to show it)

NEW: Zoom in/out at mouse position gesture

NEW: Double finger zoom and pan

Fixed: Weak Control Keyboard issues

Improved mouse scroll wheel gesture

720p is default for new installations. (1080p can be enabled from settings)

Fixed Android 5.1 license checking

Fixed Android 5.1 rotation watching

Rotation watcher will work on future Android versions

Details:

Weak Control Keyboard fixes. We received feedback that sometimes Weak Control Keyboard does not activate correctly resulting in inability to type text. We have rewritten this logic so now keyboard is activated/deactivated correctly. When deactivated the system is reverted automatically to the keyboard that was active before the connection.

Shortcuts are available in the full version only. All fixes will be included in the next release of Weak Control Free though.

Double pinch zoom works by

1. Go with mouse to point 1 and press CTRL

2. Go with the mouse to point 2 and click

3. Move mouse towards/away point 1

Rotate screen is not locking. This means that it tries to rotate the screen and if the current application allows it will stay rotated.

Zoom in/out gesture works by

CTRL + ALT + Mouse wheel on Windows.

On MAC you can use CTRL + ALT + Pinch zoom gesture on the track pad.

ATL + Mouse click zoom in

ALT + SHIFT + Mouse click zoom out

Enjoy the power of your device

Auto-start when open

Any way to have the app auto-start when opened, rather than having to press the start button?
[Android Apps and Games] WeakControl:

We have planned to have such functionality to auto start the server on phone start. Thus you will have Weak Control always started and will not need to touch the phone at all to connect. This will come after our connection improvements that we have planned.

My Samsung Note 3 N9005 launche the app and my browser see it, but after i enter the pin nothing happend! and stay on enter pin screen... why?
[Android Apps and Games] cortez8591:
Are there any update on making Weak Control auto-start with android and defining non-random pin number?

These are the last two thing that stop me from buying this great app :)

PS: Are there any plans to support other client then PC version of Chrome browser?
[Android Apps and Games] deltagreen88:
I don't know for the free version, but Pin number can be set as you wish so you could go on and buy it.. You could autostart the app with tasker or any other automation app (like Automatelt or ITTT) and even use a tasker plugin to push the start server button.. Have a look at what's possible within tasker app.. But tasker itself is a payable app, but well worth the few bucks it costs..

I'm posting here because since a few days, Weak Control does not work anymore, i have a white screen in browser, controls are still active, no matter what resolution or whatever bitrate i'm using.. So do not buy instantly, i cannot say if it's due to an update or if it's my phone, but nothing has changed on my Nexus 5 on rooted stock 5.0.1.. Worked flawlessly before, on all of my roms.. Anyone with the same problems..?

EDIT: SOLVED it was hardware acceleration, which must be enabled in chrome ;)
[Android Apps and Games] Capt4Chris:
I just upgraded my Nexus 5 to Marshmallow 6.0. I'm rooted using SuperSU 2.52. When I hit the start button in Weak Control in the notification area it says "Weak Control Failed". I confirmed that the app has root access. Thanks.

I will let the developer explain if they choose to but i emailed support directly and they said they don't currently support Marshmallow.

---------- Post added at 08:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:12 AM ----------

With the paid version you can specify a pin.

I would think with an app like tasker you could get it to auto start with android pretty easy.

I never buying software, and the type of software that i do buy is NEVER mobile apps.

I bought only some games on Steam and thats it, Even Windows and Office Im downloading.

(I know im a bad person, no need to tell me that).
