Heres how to connect to android wear using adb over wifi, theres still some issues, so ill put it here and if someone has some information please share with us:
On wear:
Go to config -> about -> tap the version umber 7 times (it will enable dev options)
Now go back to config menu
Go to developer options
Enable adb (it will also enable the option adb over bluetooth)
On phone:
Open android wear app
Tap the cog icon
Enable Debug over wifi -> Check that the host will be connected (its the android wear)
Now open cmd (you will need to have adb on your path variable):
adb forward tcp:4444 localabstract:/adb-hub
adb connect localhost:4444 // if this gives an error try replacing localhost with 127.0.0.1
adb -s localhost:4444 tcpip 5555 // if this gives an error try replacing localhost with 127.0.0.1
On phone:
Disable adb over bluetooth
Disable bluetooth
On wear:
Go to config -> developer options -> disable the option auto change wifi state
Go to wifi, connect to your wifi
still on wifi, theres an advanced options, there you can get your ip address
on cmd:
adb connect 192.168.1.3:5555 // replace 192.168.1.3 with your android wear ip
THE PROBLEM:
Android wear keeps desconnecting the wifi for a lot of reasons, some that i know:
It detect bluetooth connection (its an automatic power save feature)
But even if you disconnect from bluetooth, sometimes it keep disconnecting.
THE SOLUTION:
I have found a feature under developer options named: Enable wifi state change. This is enabled by default, so disabling it should prevent the wear from disconnecting from wifi, and it does. But sometimes android wear auto enable this feature, even if you turn it off manually. If someone know something about it, or another way to prevent wifi disconnection, please share with us.
On phone:
Open android wear app
Tap the cog icon
Enable Debug over wifi -> Check that the host will be connected (its the android wear)
==============================
Unfortunately doesn't work on my phone, cannot find the "Debug over wifi" option, only Debug over bluetooth available.
The same here!! How did you proceed?
Do you know if there is any way to figure out the port being used?

USB reverse tethering = Cellphone gets network connection from PC via USB.
I know how to do USB reverse tethering except for one problem: Many Android apps will check network connection using the code below before doing any useful work:
Code:
ConnectivityManager connectivityManager = (ConnectivityManager)context.getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);
NetworkInfo info = connectivityManager.getActiveNetworkInfo();
The problem is that, when using USB reverse tethering, the above code will report no network connection. However, there IS a network connection (which is the USB reverse tethering itself), and ping, wget and all programs not doing this stupid check work well.
So the question is: How can I hack the system to let this network connection check return success (so that I can fool these apps)?
BTW. I use Cyanogenmod 7. And any solution specific to this MOD is also welcome.
Hello,
Could you please tell me how did you do the USB reverse tethering? Since on USB connection there is no option to do that under CM 7.1?
...
Thank you. Unfortunately the binary /system/bin/netsharing is not part of CM7.1, apparently it exists with Sense ROM. How do you manage to run it under CM7.1?
Sense ROM has the reverse USB tether built-in ("Internet passthrough"), maybe if the 2 commands could be executed, thanks to existing HTC NDIS driver doing NAT inside the PC it will work?
I've tested in CM7 that netsharing is not needed. Just execute the rest of the commands will be OK. Of course you need to do NAT on the PC because what you've setup is just a small LAN with private IP addresses.
Thank you for your input.
What I understand:
1- connect the phone via USB cable, choose charge only
2- Assuming my router has IP 192.168.1.1:
So I have to type these commands, could you confirm?
Code:
echo 4 > /sys/devices/platform/msm_hsusb/usb_function_switch
route add default gw 192.168.1.1
ifconfig usb0 192.168.1.1 mtu 500 up
But then how to do the NAT thing is out of my knowledge!
In fact what I want is when there is no router (since mine is wireless) with available Internet connetion
(ADSL line down). So I have to use USB 56kbps modem with telephone line to access Internet from the PC (running XP).
And I would like to plug the Android phone with USB cable and allow the phone to access Internet (Internet sharing
with the PC). I am not sure of the operations to do then.
Sorry but I don't know how to set up NAT on Windows XP... I use Linux and a simple iptables command suffices:
Code:
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE
Hello. I have a question related to WAP enterprise on Android. Basically, my employer has detailed instructions on how to connect to the building wifi via BlackBerry or iphone but sadly not Android. I was wondering if there is a workaround or hack for this that would enable me to connect using either BB or iphone settings. I downloaded WiFi Advanced from the Market but I haven’t been able to figure out what to fill in what field ( I do see checkboxes for LEAP and WPA Enterprise mentioned below but no proxy field). Any tips using this app or another solution is appreciated! These are the settings I need to enter:
BlackBerry:
Setup Wifi Network: Office network name (appears as WPA Enterprise)
Select LEAP as security type
Enter username and password (which I have)
Connect to network
Manage connections , choose Enterprise Subtype as LEAP
Enter username and password (which I have)
Iphone:
Enter Wifi settings, tap Other
Enter network name, tap Security
Choose WPA Enterprise for security
Enter username and password (which I have)
Connect to network
Tap blue arrow next to network name and tap Auto under proxy
Enter proxy URL
So one uses LEAP and the other one asks me for a Proxy so I am not sure which one might work for my Samsung Galaxy S2 using Wifi Advanced app from the Market.
NOTE: I am able to create the network and it shows as connected but no internet access, its says WPA_EAP IEEE8021X below the name, but dont know how to take it from there in Wifi Advanced to complete the setup as per above .
Any help is appreciated!!!!!!
I have exactly the same problem. Any ideas?

This thread is pretty old, but I don't see any reply to this problem so I thought to share solution that worked for me.
As per your description "Garoto1973" your network connection didn't establish. It failed while authenticating. You may find below steps useful.
I was able to connect to my companies PEAP network by using following configurations. Please note that I am using adb to modify wifi settings so your phone should be rooted.
1- Connect your phone to your PC.
2- Pull wpa_supplicant.conf file to your machine for editing:
adb pull /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf
3- Edit wpa_supplicant.conf file adding this configuration for your network:
network={
ssid="<YOUR_NETWORK_NAME>"
scan_ssid=1
proto=WPA
key_mgmt=IEEE8021X
pairwise=TKIP
group=TKIP
auth_alg=OPEN
eap=PEAP
identity="<DOMAIN\IDENTITY>"
password="<YOUR_PASSWORD>"
phase2="auth=MSCHAPV2"
eapol_flags=2
}
Note that "eapol_flags=2" is very important or connection fails for me with error "W/wpa_supplicant(27862): EAPOL: Failed to set WEP key to the driver."
4- Replace wpa_supplicant.conf on your mobile with the modified file:
adb push wpa_supplicant.conf /data/misc/wifi
5- Reassign user and group for wpa_supplicant file:
adb shell chown 1010 /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf
adb shell chgrp 1010 /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf
6- Restart wifi and it should connect
hello, not sure if it will help.
try to use aplication LEAP WIFI free from the market. With this app I am able to connect to my corporate network
Hi
I want to capture my bluetooth traffic on my stock V30 (Europe). I enabled developer options and
activated "Bluetooth HCI-Snoop-Prtokol...". I then rebooted the phone and re-enabled bluetooth, but
there is no file btsnoop_hci anywere in the filemanager. Any ideas?
got it. I had to use adb via usb:
Code:
adb bugreport anewbugreportfolder
adb pull /bugreports/bugreport-joan_global_com-OPR1.170623.026-2019-05-06-12-06-24.zip
and then unzip the file and the log is in the "FS/data/misc/bluetooth/logs/" folder.
I have a small local network:
• A router not connected to the Internet
• 20 tablets that connect to it
• a computer under linux with LAMP
• a computer under windows with WAMP
When I want to install new apps on the tablets, I have to plug them one by one into a computer and run ADB commands. Would it be possible to execute these commands over WiFi? All tablets are rooted and the network is secure because there is no internet access. So I wouldn't be afraid to use security holes to carry out adb commands over WiFi.
Example of remarkable ADB commands:
• Place files on the tablet: adb push C:/APPLICATIONS/TitaniumBackup/ /sdcard/
• Install several applications: for %f in (C:\ APPLICATIONS\*.Apk) do adb install -t -g -r "%f"
• Start an application: adb shell am start -n com.package.name/com.package.name.ActivityName
•take photos
• activate or deactivate wifi
• Re-boot the tablet: adb reboot
• etc.
I would like to be able to do this on all 20 tablets via the wifi network rather than plugging them one by one into my computer.
Thank you in advance for any ideas you can share with me.

Yes, android supports ADB over WiFi.
Do a google search for:
"ADB over Wifi"
Sent from my SM-S767VL using Tapatalk
Yes, indeed, the answer was easily found on the web. I asked it because that day I split one big issue into several smaller ones to post requests on your forum. And I never imagined it would be so easy to connect 20 tablets to each other using a local wifi network and adb. The app jwoegerbauer recommended to me is just wonderful. Now I can:
- simultaneously install an application on the 20 tablets from my PC:
FOR /F "skip=1" %x IN ('adb devices') DO start adb -s %x install -r "my-apk.apk"
- uninstall an application on the 20 tablets
- place folders or files I want where I want on all the tablets (they are rooted):
FOR /F "skip=1" %x IN ('adb devices') DO start adb -s %x push C:/my-file/ /sdcard/
- take a file from each tablet or delete it
- even take a screenshot of the tablet I want:
adb -s 192.168.43.122:5555 shell screencap /sdcard/testadb/screen.png
or 20 tablets:
FOR /F "skip=1" %x IN ('adb devices') DO start adb -s %x shell screencap /sdcard/testadb/screen.png
Many thanks to jwoegerbauer for recommending the Wireless ADB application to me.
However, I would like to explore the matter further. The problem I'm looking to solve is to manage a group of tablets without internet and without having to pay an MDM (Android mobile device manager). With ADB, I can install and uninstall applications and send or receive files. Here is what remains to be done:
- I am learning how to remotely change the settings of my 20 tablets. Imagine how tedious it is to turn on the wifi on each of the tablets, then select a network and enter the password. Sometimes I need to turn off wifi or change networks on all tablets. I also have to change the default display or font size. Last week, I've had to set the time and time zone on each one because "network provided time" does not work in a local area network not connected to the Internet. I will tell you which adb formulas I have tested if anyone is interested.
- I also started an other thread on xda-developers: Remotely modify the settings of an android application. Indeed, it takes a plenty of time to manually change the preferences and datas of an application already installed on 20 tablets. If you have any ideas on this, I'd be happy to read your ideas on the forum.
AFAIK USB hubs with 20 ports exist
Hello
I want to sideload some apk files (that are not available on Playstore) without having to enable Developer Mode.
After turning on Linux and installing ADB via Linux terminal, I don't manage to enable the necessary ADB debugging. The "Develop Android Apps" option is not available in Linux settings and it is grayed out both in Settings and in Android preferences (System/Developer options).
I tried also: chrome://os-settings/crostini/androidAdb and that command does enable the ADB toggle but after the required restart, it says "Something Went Wrong" and ADB debugging remains disabled.
Device details: Dell 3180 Chromebook - Intel processor - ChromeOS 103.0.5060 64 bit - on stable channel - not enterprise enrolled - I own and manage it.
Many thanks in advance for any creative suggestion
