Is it possible to connect to scrcpy through ethernet connection only without: rooting the phone, using wifi or having a usb connection to pc - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I got the following phone:
Moto G Pure | 2021 | 2-Day battery | Unlocked | Made for US by Motorola | 3/32GB | 13MP Camera | Deep Indigo
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09BTB5MKT/
The phone charger port is usb c. It has an Android 11 installed.
Assumptions:
-I got a 2-1 dongle that allows to have an ethernet connection and charger at the same time.
-Phone is not rooted.
-Wifi is disabled (since I'm using ethernet) so assume no adb over wifi setting can be used.
-Phone charger is not connected to the pc usb so assume no adb over usb setting can be used.
How can I enable adb over ethernet so I could launch scrcpy on the same local network to access the phone screen/sending adb commands through command line as needed?
I found a similar post about this from 2018 on xda: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/scrcpy-connection-help.3791716/
OP ended up ending writing the following update:
EDIT - problem solved: adb over ethernet instead of usb or wifi.
connected my android (galaxy view) to my network (ethernet) using the otg usb port and now, combined with the "adb over ethernet" app from the play store that i just discovered, the adb connection between my android and pc functions just as if they were connected by a usb cable, no more having to first connect the usb to get wifi to kick in, only to have to repeat this process again and again.
But when I tried to download "adb over ethernet" app, I noticed that it says that it requires root so I can't really use it?
A more recent comment on that post from 2022, someone said:
For others who find this in a search, you can get scrcpy to open up (and then kill the console to get it out of the way) on Android up to Android 11 using the "--tcpip=192.168.0.2:5555" option, but there's new capabilities in Android 12 now that eliminate totally the need for the initial USB connection.
In Android 12 you can also use scrcpy completely over Wi-Fi without first establishing the adb connection over USB like you need to do with Android 11.
There are new commands in the Android 12 Developer options to enable everything to be done over Wi-Fi which I've been using since May.
So it seems like the first option here (OP) is to root your phone and the second option (comment) is to upgrade your Android OS to version 12, which eliminates the need for a USB cable to enable adb debugging, but is there a way I could be able to connect to scrcpy on my Android 11 through the ethernet connection only without upgrading the Android version or rooting the phone?
When I currently try to run it this is the error I get (when only ethernet is connected, no wifi or usb connection to pc):
C:\scrcpy>scrcpy.exe
scrcpy 1.25 <https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy>
ERROR: Could not find any ADB device
ERROR: Server connection failed
Alternatively, can I enable adb over wifi in Android 11 so I could connect through scrpcy and without worrying that I might need to approve adb debugging in the small popup window that shows on the phone each time (or that shows periodically. In other words can that message be completely eliminated without rooting?). I do see under settings, developer options a setting called "Wireless debugging" (in addition to existing setting "USB debugging" which I had enabled when I used a direct USB connection the pc). So after enabling Wireless debugging, it asked me if I want to allow ADB debugging every time when my phone is connected to my local wifi network, I said yes. Now when I run scrcpy the following way using the local ip of my phone that was received by the wifi, I get the following error (IP was censored - this is only when wifi is connected, no usb connection to pc):
C:\scrcpy>scrcpy.exe --tcpip=192.168.X.X -b 2M -m 1024 --max-fps=15 --legacy-paste
scrcpy 1.25 <https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy>
INFO: Connecting to 192.168.X.X:5555...

ERROR: Could not connect to 192.168.X.X:5555
ERROR: Server connection failed
According to
Wireless debugging in Android 11
Android 11 developer preview has lots of new features to look but one of the coolest is Wireless debugging. It is a new method for…
levelup.gitconnected.com
“Requirements :
Device running with Android 11
SDK platform-tools with version ≥ 30.0.0.
Same Wi-Fi network for Android device and your PC
Wireless debugging
Android 11 supports deploying and debugging your app wirelessly from your workstation via Android Debug Bridge (adb). For example, you can deploy your debuggable app to multiple remote devices without physically connecting your device via USB and contending with common USB connection issues, such as driver installation.”
So this should be supported in Android 11, then why scrcpy fails to connect to my phone ip?
Thank you.

AFAIK the mobile device should be connected to a computer - either via USB or wirelessly in the same LAN.
This computer can be connected from a remote computer (via SSH), and SCRCPY can be used from this remote computer.
Device's Android must not be rooted to run SCRCPY.

SSH is a non graphic user interface, so how exactly can you run scrcpy from a remote computer you connected through SSH in some non gui terminal window?

In Windows 11 you execute SSH commands either via Windows CMD

though i think what your asking has more to do with right port and port forwarding rules aye?

1. obtain permission
2. set the rules on your router
3. "nmap it!" or wireshark (not recommended)
or i think something like twitch would same same

I understand what’s ssh and how to run it from cmd/powershell, what I don’t understand is how it’s related to scrcpy? What’s the context of saying ssh and scrcpy in the same sentence? Assuming you ssh from cmd/powershell into some remote machine, can you run scrcpy in that remote machine? And if so, will the scrcpy/phone color screen will show up in the cmd/powershell black screen? That’s what I don’t understand...

So if I understand correctly, I could ssh from an external network machine into the internal network that has both the phone and ‘pc that I ssh to’, and then I will be able to run scrcpy remotely from my external network machine without the need to actually remote desktop into the machine to launch scrcpy that’s in the same network as the phone as long as I establish an SSH connection with that machine in that local network? Please correct me if I’m wrong, but it sounds very cool, it’s like some sort of VPN that allows you to access the local resources of that network using SSH in this case, thank you for pointing this out to me!
By the way, if I SSH from my iphone to that local machine network, is there an app or a way to launch scrcpy against that local network similar to how you would do it from the remote machine pc but just from my iphone? I have iPhone 12 Pro Max with iOS 14.4.1 jailbroken and got newterm3 terminal that allows me to ssh to remote computers.

[Q] ifconfig bnep0 (tethering blackberry via bluetooth)

Found a thread where a member had success bluetooth tethering his phone to the viewsonic gtab using tnt lite.
I am using vegan 5.1 and have gotten part way there, but having issues with ifconfig.
The script recommended was:
pand --connect <remote BT device hex address>
ifconfig bnep0 down
dhcpcd bnep0
setprop net.dns1 8.8.8.8
I can get "pand" to connect to my blackberry, however when I run "ifconfig bnep0", it returns "no device found".
Does anyone know when devices are present in the vegan build, can someone confirm "bnep0" is present on the tnt build?

I had posted on my success with this (Something I found elsewhere on XDA... Not my own).
Since then, I've had mixed results. I can't seem to make it connect reliably.
I've now using Vegan Gingerbread and Pershoots latest kernel.
Last night I tried the gscript script I posted and got errors. However if I go into terminal emulator and enter the commands manually I can make it connect.
A couple of commands that might help you diagnose your issues from terminal:
pand -l : Lists your connections. Should show bnep0 connected to your phone.
netcfg : I've read that ifconfig is somewhat limited in androids linux version. netcfg will show you more results.
running netcfg I see several networking devices, but bnep0 is not one of them. I am have tried TNT, vegantab beta 5.1 and the latest experimental version.
Did you install the driver/modules for bnep0 or have to do any configuration to interface with this device? Because it does not appear to be a stock device in any version of froyo/gingerbread I download.

No, I did not have to install any modules. This worked for me both under TNTL 4.25, Vegan Ginger, and somewhat under TNTL5.0 (I had the BNEP0 entry, but had issues connecting to my phone).
I suspect bnep0 will not show up until you issue 'pand --connect <Phone ID>'
At that point the bluetooth networking device should show up.
You also need to be running some sort of Bluetooth DUN client on your phone. I've been doing this with my Droid X. I do not know the process for Blackberry's.
on my X, I've used Tethering for Root Users (unreliable for me on bluetooth... but does sometimes work) and PDANET (seems to work fine on bluetooth).

From terminal, when i issue pand --connect xxxx, or even pand -l, it gives me error "Failed to open control socket: Operation no permitted"
Am I missing anything?
I stumbled upon this thread through Google, but I'm actually trying to do the same thing on a rooted Nook Color. Before you issue any of the commands, you will need to issue the command su to gain superuser access. The pand command should then work.
I can see on my phone that the Nook Color establishes a Bluetooth connection after the pand command. However, I'm having the same issue as the OP with regard to the ifconfig command.
-I have run hcitool scan and found my bluetooth device's address.
-My blackberry is paired with my android,, dial up networking enabled and PDAnet bluetooth DUN enabled.
-I can pair and tether to my blackberry using windows 7, but I need to put *99***1# for it to dial (like a dial up modem). How do I do this in linux, does pand support "dialing" commands?
There is a thread where a person used pppd and rcomm to dial and tether and are using the *99***1# dial requirement (google "tether blackberry 8830 rfcomm0" )
TIP: use "hcitool scan" to find the hex address of your bluetooth phone!
I am playing around with the following commands:
"sdptool search dun" (searchs for a bluetooth DUN device and shows which channel it's using!
rfcomm to bind and connect
and pppd to connect
I can get rfcomm to show connect via channel 6 and tty connected
any ideas how to use pppd to tether?

Make sure you are root when doing this? (enter SU at terminal before issuing commands)

See the script listed a few posts back. I do this with gscript lite (it does need SU permission).
This technique does work for, but its not terribly reliable.
I start my DUN server on my phone (PDANet on my DroidX works best).
I then run the script from gscript.
I usually get the 'device not found' error as quoted above.
I just keep re-running the script and eventually I'll get a 'can't assign requested address'. At this point I am actually connected and can browse through the phone.
My guess is that it takes some amount of time from the first 'pand --connect <>' to actually make the connection. That's why we keep getting the device not found error.
At some point in me running the script over and over, the connection goes live and assigns a DHCP address. The NEXT time I run it, the IP is already assigned, thus the can't assign requested address error.
I think if I (or someone who has more linux experience) scripted a somewhat smarter script that actually waited and/or checked for connection, this process could be improved on.
However, what little bit I use it, I am able to make it work.
FYI I have done this on Vegan 5.1, tnt 4.X series, and now I'm on Vegan Ginger with Pershoot kernel.

If this wasn't answered, I found I had to issue su root in the terminal before attempting this.
My issue right now is I can't get a bluetooth connection. I can pair the phone and tablet but it won't stay connected.
I still haven't seen any threads from anyone who has gotten anything but another Android phone to work. Even the reply a few up from this note indicated a DroidX not a BlackBerry.

zaphod,
i know why bluetooth DUN working on your site but not on everybody else
this is because you're using DroidX which support bluetooth PAN
blackberry is not supporting bluetooth PAN
that's why pand --connect <bluetooth address> never ever succeed
and android kernel will not create /dev/bnep0
read this link below
daemon for running bluetooth DUN is dund
daemon for running bluetooth PAN is pand
however none of gtab rom has dund command
https://sites.google.com/a/android.com/opensource/projects/bluetooth-faq
If someone can find away to make this in to a easy app to use they would be the tablet god! and I would happily pay $10 for the app
I am willing to pay $300 if you can program the app
I tried tethering the Samsung Code to the G Tablet following this video
On the GTab I'm able to pair it but not connect. I'm stuck, is it not possible to do it then. the phone is a Windows phone and it says:
Status: Device Setup finished. On the PC, connect Bloethooth PAN.
My GTab Bluethoot settings say Paired but not connected.

See the post by dony71 above. The blackberry doesn't support PAN, and the G Tablet doesn't support DUN. They both have to support at least one of the same profiles so that they can talk to one another..

Nandroid and Ubuntu 10.10 working off SD

Original thread (Thanks Martin Rhodes):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=962023 (Join up original file parts with 7zip)
Instructions
Here are direct links to complete .img file and .sh file to be placed into ubuntu folder on root of SD card (Thanks Infinimint)
http://infinimod.com/projects/fire314/ubuntu-for-android/ubuntu.img
http://infinimod.com/projects/fire314/ubuntu-for-android/ubuntu.sh
Ingredients
ubuntu.img + ubuntu.sh (to be placed in a new folder named ubuntu on the root of your SD card)
Better Terminal Emulator (or other terminal emulator) + AndroidVNC (or other VNC client) from the market
To automate one click startup process via Better Terminal Emulator:
Preferences>Initial command:
Code:
export PATH=/data/local/bin:$PATH:.
su
cd sdcard/ubuntu
sh ubuntu.sh
Or type this for each new session in any terminal emulator:
Code:
su
cd sdcard/ubuntu
sh ubuntu.sh
It says .img loading for a bit. Seems like its not doing anything...it wont confirm when its loaded (about a minute in reality)...
Then I left Terminal running in background while it said it was still loading the img (but don't let it close via task killer or otherwise), held down the hardware menu or home button to switch programs for a bit and connected in via VNC (AndroidVNC)...
address: localhost, port: 5900, and password: ubuntu ... then hit connect (login details will be saved for next time)...
its working fine software keyboard etc and at good speed. In menu options select 24bit colour, local mouse, 1:1 scaling and Touchpad only to make navigating menus much easier.
Normal phone and Android functions should be fine.
Included applications include Firefox, Thunderbird, Openoffice.org suite, GIMP Image Editor, Emacs Text Editor (geared towards programming), C and C++ build-essential, Java JDK, Python, TeXlive and TeXmaker LaTeX editor, Transmission BitTorrent Client, eVince PDF Viewer, File Manager, Terminal, Image Viewer, Leafpad Text Editor, Synaptic Package Manager and Ubuntu Software Center with all repositories enabled, SSH server, Gnash (GNU flash player for Firefox) among others.
Short press hardware menu key to get mouse options etc and longpress to bring up software keyboard (using Android VNC).
Type exit in android terminal emulator to shut down the ubuntu image.
I am using the Hyperdroid Rom off NAND, overclocked at 1.2ghz and a 16GB class 6 microsd (although it should be independent to all this... worth mentioning)

Here is Open Office 3.2 on the HD2 using Smart Keyboard Pro from the market.
Edit 1. I Can use my bluetooth keyboard using this nandroid rom to edit open office etc
Edit 2. I can make full screen editing on my PC monitor/TV through connecting it via USB.
HD2 USB connected to a r3610 hanging behind a 42" HDTV connected through HDMI. Using my desktop keyboard and mouse. The Mouse scroll button and right click work just as they would on desktop!
Connect via usb to PC and enable usb debugging on your phone, needs android sdk installed on PC, then you run from pc command line
Code:
adb forward tcp:5900 tcp:5900
and you should be able to create a vnc conection from your pc (recommend TightVNC) to:
Code:
127.0.0.1:5900 [U]or type[/U] localhost:5900
and use password ubuntu displayed on your monitor or TV. Wireless solution.
In fact, you can use the same method to mirror the Android system using 'Droid VNC' server from the market.
Edit 3. Can also just connect straight to the device via VNC over WIFI but its slightly slower.
Type ifconfig into lxde terminal to find WIFI address, use your desktop VNC viewer (recommend TightVNC) and password ubuntu to log in.
Edit 4. Bluetooth mouse control with cursor now works as well (but its a bit jerky), works much better with 'Remote VNC Pro' from the market selecting use external mouse.
Edit 5. Can only seem to pair bluetooth mouse and keyboard input simultaneously using BlueInput.
Edit 6. To fit whole ubuntu display area onto HD2 screen (as above) or to otherwise change screen res via LXDE terminal:
Code:
export USER=root
vncserver -geometry 800x480
Restart AndroidVNC but connect to port 5901. You can automate this process by adding it to the end of the Better Terminal Emulator Initial Command script i.e
Code:
export PATH=/data/local/bin:$PATH:.
su
cd sdcard/ubuntu
sh ubuntu.sh
export USER=root
vncserver -geometry 800x480
Just remember to connect on port 5901 instead of 5900 using VNC subsequently.
Sound Great!!!!!!!!!! Be partient \m/ Rock On!!!!!!
does usb host works?
I haven't got USB host cables etc. I am just using localhost VNC or a Java based screen mirroring app over USB.
Was alot of fun today adding effects to my photos using GIMP and creating a presentation and exporting it to PDF, all on the train! Its like a UMPC now.
do you have sound? have you tried playing some video, or youtube? how's the performance in comparison with ubuntu v0.3 running from haret?
I made an usb hub for using since i've downloaded v0.3, will try this evening to see if it works with this build.
Sound is not possible in VNC chroots as of yet. The android YouTube or music player app is only a hardware click away though. Media is well served by android anyway IMO.
WIFI is shared with the android system but theres no cellular 3G connection (I wonder if a 3G unrestrictor application could work at some point though). Could use your 3G sim in a separate phone for MIFI/WIFI routering too.
Its never going to be preferable to a native port but its almost instant in responsiveness once apps have opened. It is very quick (on my device at least).
how long to boot img?
i use android 2.2
cpu overclock 1.2
.....why doesn't it boot to VNC??
sry for my bad english
Well, I gave this a try. I guess I'm doing something wrong. It ran through all of the commands without any pause... (which seemed odd) ... and I couldn't connect through VNC. Any way to troubleshoot this?
Edit: Changed to TyphooN CyanogenMod 7 rom and it worked fine. Thanks for the link

Longpress the hardware menu (windows) button to use your android software keyboard. Or use a bluetooth keyboard if your ROM supports it.
had anybody success downsizing the img with uec-resize-image, i dont need 3.5GB...
edit: 2G is to small, choosed 2500M, worked fine
I will test this soon, I hope this will work great.
i used the ubuntu.img from this thread
made:
e2fsck -f ubuntu.img
uec-resize-img ubuntu.img 2500M (2G is too small)
put it in the root folder of the sd card
used the deboot from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1029390
and put in the root of the sdcard
and changed the section
losetup /dev/block/loop5 /sdcard/debian.img
to
losetup /dev/block/loop5 /sdcard/ubuntu.img
works really fine.
creates a debian folder but that could be also changed in the deboot file
and you can call the deboot file however you want, even bootubuntu.
really great thanks.

[Q] ADB error: device not found

Hi all I'm having problems with getting ADB to see my device and was hoping someone with more brains can help me to solve this problem. I've searched this as much as I can on XDA and Google in general but nothing I find works device specifically.
First setup: I'm running the brilliant ARHD 11.0 JB with build.prop tweaks on top of Siya 1.6.8 and I don't think that Mike and GM need any introduction since they are both household names in our forums.
My machine OS: 7 Ultimate 64
The drivers I've installed: (this might be a factor in the problem)
Latest Kies. I've also installed the s3 drivers when connecting the device in download mode. I have uninstalled Kies because it's unless after the device drivers have been installed IMHO.
The ADB I am trying to use: I downloaded the generic ADB since I think the bridge is generic and mentioning the platform is irrelevant. But it was not the one bundled into the SDK since its not necessary. I have run it as Admin
My problem: I have connected my phone with debug enabled and disabled Auto play but as soon as I "adb shell" in cmd (after cd the adb directory) I still get the "error: device not found" message.
I've tried what I can but can figure it out could someone with the brain. I wish I had please slap me around the room and point out my obvious error and set me on the right path or at least cry with me in my frustration.
If I could get a devs input it would be awesome but if anyone could help me out, I would greatly appreciate it.
Please tell me if I've ommited any important info.
Thanx guys!

Your problem determinated drivers , install drivers for samsung devices, reboot your pc, connect your device to your pc , expect driver installation , then check if updated , then if the sdk is installed correctly , adb devices.... USB Debugging enabled ......
i had an isssue last night with adb...
unplug phone from pc and turn off and then on usb debuging on the phone...
enter cmd mode on pc, then
adb kill-server
adb start-server
adb devices
then hopefully it will show the device is connected....
p.s. drivers should be installed and checked, this step it is mandatory....
hope it helps ...
Thank you both for you input but nothing works unfortunately. I'll continue the search thanx again though
May this help connect your usb to direct motherboard port. Do not use usb hub if you are

Debug/test apps on device over the air, no cable. Must-have developer tool. WiFi ADB
You just installed the "adb" driver for your device. You still need to install the "fastboot" driver. It is the same driver, it just needs to be installed twice - once when your device is booted normally, and once when it is booted in fastboot mode. I personally would use the Universal Naked Drivers by 1wayjonny
When you have USB Debugging mode turned on on your phone and you connect to the computer and you look at Device Manager (Win+R, devmgmt.msc) do you see this:

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
If you get Unknown Devices automatically expanded, then you haven't got the correct drivers installed.
You don't need to install Kies to have the latest drivers installed; you can extract them from the setup itself:
Download KIES and run the setup but don't do anything with it
Open up your Temporary Files folder: Win+R, %TEMP%
Look for the folders that start with a '{' and end with a '}' and have a bunch of letters, numbers and 4 hyphens in them and within this selection of folders find the folder that has its Date Modified timestamp matching the time you opened the KIES installer exe (in my case it was {44A91F3A-3D8C-43DE-A0BC-04E01C756397}). If you're in the right place, you'll find "Samsung Kies.msi".
Grab Less MSIérables, point it to Samsung Kies.msi and extract SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones.exe somewhere. lessmsi is a little slow...
You'll see a new folder "SourceDir" wherever you chose to extract the file, navigate through it until you find the EXE. Close the KIES installer and run the driver setup
Oh, rather than using some random version of ADB off the Internet, get it from Google themselves. The latest versions can be found in the platform-tools ZIPs for the SDK, but you don't need to install the SDK just for ADB: Open http://dl.google.com/android/repository/platform-tools_r14-windows.zip (14 is the latest version as of this post) and extract the three adb files from the ZIP and place them somewhere. This way you know it's not a problem of using an old ADB version.
You can also check to see if adbd is actually running on the phone when you plug it in by grabbing Terminal Emulator off the market and running: "/system/bin/ps | grep adbd" (note: you only get grep if you have BusyBox instaled)
Finally, if you really can't get USB connections to work, then use https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ttxapps.wifiadb&hl=en :\

Hey,
I had the exact same problem. This Tutorial : http://goo.gl/OS3Vi worked for me.
Hope it helps
I am having some problem remove an Nandroid backup; (it is impossible to remove it either with Root Exporer or in the terminal as root (rm -rf blah)).
However, now I am trying to use ADB to get rid of it I installed adb and some new drivers for my I9300.
Looked through my phone debug-settings, checked if ADB found my phone (adb start-server, adb devices). Then I rebooted my phone into recovery via CWM - however - now my phone does not want to be found.
Windows Device Manager recognize the phone, but the drivers-icon are yellow-ish (not sure if this is how they are supposed to look). adb devices gives me nothing.
I could really use some help over here.

Pair watch Wear OS with another smartphone / Tablet without factory reset

Hi, I've been researching how to pair multiple smartphones to my watch with Wear OS for a few days. I have come to the following conclusions and an idea.
If you have ever wanted to pair the watch with a new smartphone or tablet, or you have simply updated your smartphone to a new Custom ROM, you have probably noticed that Google does not make it easy to pair again. The official way of Wear OS requires unpairing the watch from the WearOS App and then it is restored to factory settings (which means deleting all the data and apps installed on the watch), and from there you can see the new device to pair (info on this here ), however there is a simple way to avoid resetting the watch settings to zero. This method does not require root either on the smartphone or on the watch, but it does require executing 3 ADB commands, which at least from the Ticwatch 3 Pro can only be entered via Wi-fi, basically they are the following (link where the method is detailed):
Code:
adb connect IP-of_watch:5555
adb shell "pm clear com.google.android.gms && reboot
adb shell "am start -a android.bluetooth.adapter.action.REQUEST_DISCOVERABLE
In this way, you can pair with a new device without resetting the watch to factory settings, but this method requires a computer and is not a very quick procedure to pair with another device when you need it.
Pairing the watch to just one device is enough for most people, but some have more devices that they would find useful if it could be paired and changed from time to time. For example, in the morning link the watch with your work phone, and in the afternoon with your personal phone; Another case is when it is paired to a small phone for when I go running (that is also my case). Anyway, it seems very useful to me.
The case that I was investigating and it seems that a few years ago (specifically in 2015) a method was published in XDA (here the link) that seems very practical for what I propose, the method is the following:
Note: the first 4 steps are only done the first time, once the phones have been paired to the watch, from there for the quick change only step 5.
Install ADB drivers on your computer and activate USB debugging on your phone, and Debugging via Wi-Fi. This last is because the charging cable of the Ticwatch 3 Pro is only charging, it does not transmit data, as a curiosity the charging cable of the TicWatch Pro 2020 is also data, so it would be enough to activate only ADB debugging and plug the smartwatch to the cable .
Download the Android Wear BeeLink App from this link on the computer, and install the app on the watch through ADB commands from the computer. .
Code:
adb connect IP_of_Watch:5555
adb push beelink.apk /sdcard/
adb -e install beelink.apk
adb disconnect
smartwatch is paired with phone A, so turn off Bluetooth on this device and run the following command from the computer.
Code:
adb shell "pm clear com.google.android.gms && reboot
Turn on Bluetooth on phone B, and pair the watch as normal through the WearOS app on phone B.
Now when you want to switch to phone A, you open Beelink on the watch, and it will search for nearby Android devices that are available to pair. On the app screen you will see the current phone as 'paired' and it also allows you to select any other device if you want to change. Once the watch has connected to a device, it generally remembers it and will automatically connect if no other connections are available.

}
Therefore, BeeLink is ideal for quick exchange of pairings while multiple devices are switched on. And now comes the big problem and in which I claim the help for those who might be interested in this functionality, BeeLink NO LONGER WORKS. The app was discontinued (only an initial version was published) and disappeared from the Play Store in 2015. It can be installed but the app cannot be opened, that is, it is installed but does not appear in the application drawer. I guess it stopped working from some WearOS update.
It would be very interesting if the creator of the app, VizTec (seems gone), or someone with knowledge adapted it to current versions of WearOS. I don't know, if this works, I think it would be very useful, since you don't need a computer to change devices like the method I explained at the beginning of the post. However, does anyone know of an alternative method to do this?
Here is more information about the BeeLink App:

Actually, we can use adb with bluetooth. I have the TicWatch 3 Pro, but did not have a working wifi here at work, so I tried with bluetooth via the phone:
Using the guide from Android Developer to get PC and watch connected via bluetooth. I'm repeating here in case the address changes:
First make sure your watch and phone are paired with bluetooth (in bluetooth settings).
Next make sure your phone is connected to the PC and are ready for adb commands.
Now on the watch
Open the watch's Settings menu.
Scroll to Developer Options.
Confirm that ADB debugging is enabled.
Enable Debug over Bluetooth.
On the Phone:
Open the Wear OS app.
Scroll down to Advanced Settings and tap to view the Advanced Settings options.
Enable Debugging over Bluetooth. A status message appears under the option. It looks like this:
Code:
Host: disconnected
Target: connected
On the PC:
Run these two commands in the debugger (WIN: a cmd window - Linux: a terminal):
Code:
>adb forward tcp:4444 localabstract:/adb-hub
>adb connect 127.0.0.1:4444
After you type the connect command, look at the watch. It will ask you to confirm that you are allowing ADB Debugging.
Go back to the phone and check the status display in the Wear companion app. It should look like this:
Code:
Host: connected
Target: connected
Now we are ready to send commands to the watch.
Check that the phone and watch are connected:
Code:
>adb devicesList of devices attached
K8AIHM######BBY device
127.0.0.1:4444 device
Run the command from previous post (slightly changed to direct the command to the watch):
Code:
>adb -s 127.0.0.1:4444 shell "pm clear com.google.android.gms && reboot"
Watch should reboot and PC answer with:
Code:
Success
It's nice, but it doesn't keep Google Pay cards, every time one switch phones they need to be re-added.
It doesn't work at this time (or for me). After type
Code:
adb shell "pm clear com.google.android.gms && reboot"
cmd answer
Code:
/system/bin/sh: "pm: not found
Success for me typing 2 commands:
1) adb shell
2) pm clear com.google.android.gms && reboot

Bluetooth is not working in win11

So I installed windows 11 on my sony Vaio VPCEG3AEN yesterday and I got an error during installation, so I used Rufus and installed windows as ON THE GO in the hdd.
Now the laptop is running smoothly but I am having trouble setting up the bluetooth.
Firstly there is no option to turn on bluetooth and when I try to add a new device I get a error saying couldn't connect

In the device manager I tried the default bt driver from windows and various other drivers including "Qualcomm Atheros AR3011" bluetooth driver but I keep getting "" icon after refreshing the device manager page, and in the device's description it says
"WINDOWS HAS STOPPED THIS DEVICE BECAUSE IT HAS REPORTED PROBLEMS. (CODE 43)"
Its not a hw damage or loose connection, i have windows 10 installed on another hdd which was previously used in the same laptop, so the bluetooth works fine in windows 10.
I haven't found a way to fix the bt yet
It would be really helpful if anyone have any idea to fix this issue
Update: I tried to backup the bt driver from windows 10 hdd using driver booster and after restoring the driver in windows 11 the bt started working, but some time after a reboot the bt stops working and I have to restore the driver again.
Haven't found a permanent solution

What happens if you just uninstall the driver?
Nothing, in the device manager the bluetooth device gets the default ms driver and it doesn't work .
So now as a temporary fix I have to restore the driver over and over after a reboot or shutdown (sometimes it works even after reboot).

You may try Driver Easy software to scan your drivers.
You could try taking out the cmos battery for a solid 10-20 minutes and see if it still does that. Make sure your pc is shut down, and the power cable is removed from the power supply.
I had the same issue, but with the intel ethernet controller. Properties showed the 43 error, device manager shows that it doesn't work.
Try removing the cmos. Good luck!

Well for me I got it working with a command line tool. How ever my laptop of choice is a google pixlebook and the Bluetooth was active just would never connect to any devices. I searched all year looking for an answer and finel dropped into my head that i should try it from command line. There is an install package that can be downloaded and a good tutorial.Bluetooth-Comand-Line-Tools.

Check your device
Before starting any complicated fixes, make sure you’ve checked these things:
Make sure your device supports Bluetooth
Make sure your device has turned on Bluetooth
Make sure your PC has turned on Bluetooth
Here’s how to check on Windows 11 PC:
1) Press the Windows logo key + A to open Quick Settings.
2) Make sure the Bluetooth button is enabled.
3) You can re-enable Bluetooth on PC by turning off Bluetooth and then enabling it later. Then check if your device can work on your PC. It may work for some users.

Must be a common issue as I have exactly the same issue and the same photo's to display too.....I tried a Co called Driver Updater, the free version but that was totally useless, did nothing then they harassed to upgrade repeatedly. Still not got a fix for my W11 VPC but looking into it. Pity Sony have dumped the product range as they used to be pretty good for drivers etc....no longer. I just need to get my mitts on a driver, thought it would be quite simple ....ha!
finally found the driver pack at:
https://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp72001-72500/sp72163.exe
and its now up and working on my Sony Vaio VPCEH on Windows 11
Run the Bluetooth troubleshooter​
Press the Windows + I keys to open the Settings menu.
Select Troubleshoot from the left.
Click on Other troubleshooters.
Hit the Run button for Bluetooth.
Wait for the troubleshooter to complete the process and do the needful if asked.
I first had the BT issue on my laptop when attempting to use Windows 11 Phone Link to link my iPhone. I got this:
I have been researching this for two weeks. The same thing happened with other programs emulating Phone LInk i.e Wormhole and iMyfone, (Wormhole worked on my Windows 10 desktop and allows me to control all functions of iPhone 14 pro). I did all the installing/reinstalling/getting latests BT drivers from Intel etc. used the BT troubleshooter, which kept telling me that BT radio was not turned on even though it was, and when the troubleshooter offered to turn it on and I agreed, nothing happened and the process then repeated itself.... then I noticed that my iPhone was showing in BT in device manager, so I paired and unpaired etc, other devices like, Razer Pro click mouse, speakers etc all worked perfectly. So there is nothing wrong as far as my diagnosis can make out , with my BT. I have latest Windows 11 updates 22H2, I have uninstalled and reinstalled the Phone Link app, tried safe boot and selective startup, going though the usual procedure of disabling services half and half to figure out if a driver is buggy. (by then it was 4am in the morning and I was gurgling spittle all over the keyboard and the neghbours were knocking on my walls because my shouts of frustration and expletive laden rants at Microsoft had woken them up etc etc) So the app is NOT seeing BT and the sames is true of emulations of the same software. Therefore ,the problem must be within the Windows 11 OS settings somewhere. Also as with another poster on here the BT on off radio button disappeared, I found it again but in a completely different location (I am confusing myself now cos I can't remember exactly where ,but it was through Control Panel) I have posted all over Microsofts communities and support pages, found other users with the same or very similar problems with this app. Microsoft specialist have suggested only things I have already done.I have City and Guilds and Comp Tia certs. for Windows systems and have been fixing them since Windows 98 (all through them and the Vista BSD wars ho ho ho ) so I am not exactly a dunce ... eeeeerm! and yet I cant fix this one seemingly simple bug. Any suggestions or ideas cheerfully tried. Thanks.

Thanks frankbonatelli, I checked this out but it is designed for versions before Windows 11, it could work but might confuse things too.?
