Android debugging over Wi-Fi

android

My MacBook USB-C hub cannot serve Huawei Nexus 6P USB cable connection well. What matters is not only it often been disconnected but affect other USB devices.

Fucking annoying.

I had to come up with a solution: connect device over Wi-Fi

  1. Connect Android device via cable
  2. Execute adb tcpip 5555 on your dev computer
  3. Execute adb kill-server on your dev computer
  4. Execute adb connect {device_ip}:5555 on your dev computer
  5. Cable-free now

More:

  • adb usb if you wish to switch back to USB
adb command details:
tcpip 5555

restart adb server listening on TCP on 5555 PORT port 5555 opened across all involved firewalls and debug mode enabled

kill-server

kill the adb server if it is running

connect {device_ip}:5555

connect to a device via TCP/IP
