use in another country

This quest started solely because there is no "control+Z,bg" in Windows.

However, the result is we have a finely tuned working system without it! a. I always give back to the team for helping me solve all the problems, b. So here are minor updates based on daily use of Herbert's showwin.bat

*UPDATE #1:*

There is a workaround to the fact the random port address must be known:

Connect over Wi-Fi sans USB

While scrcpy.exe doesn't need any specifics once a connection is established, there are times when you have _multiple_ devices connected.

multiple adb connections More so, there are two different ways to pair in the first place! multiple pairing connections

Then you _must_ specify _which_ device (even if they're all the same!)

It turns out scrcpy can use the "-s 192.168.0.2" or "-s SERIAL.tcp" or "-s SERIAL" or even "--tcpip=[IP]:[PORT]" each of which makes it easier to connect over Wi-Fi (sans USB cable) from Windows using Herbert's excellent showwin.bat script (once you've established pairing).

The scrcpy.exe can sometimes use the short form of the Android serial.

Long and short serial formats

And scrcpy.exe can sometimes use the IP address & random port of course: C:\> scrcpy.exe --tcpip=192.168.0.2:41269

scrcpy --tcpip=[IP]:[PORT]

*UPDATE #2:* There is no workaround yet to the original need for the random port (whether you connect via "connect" or the encrypted "pair" command).

Once you've connected, scrcpy.exe does not need to know the IP address or port or serial number or tcp address & port _if_ there one device.

Extraneous cmd window (&)

But most of the time you have multiple devices connected via adb. And then the scrcpy.exe inside Herbert's script needs to know which one.

Connect over Wi-Fi sans USB

*UPDATE #3:* Also note that scrcpy has _better PC resolution_ than does free vysor scrcpy vs Vysor resolution *UPDATE #4:* Note that Vysor works with my iOS devices (but with less functionality) iOS & Android PC mirroring *UPDATE #5:* Android 12 has mac randomization per connection - which is working fine! Static/Reserved IP address *UPDATE #6:* For weeks (elapsed time) I've tried various methods to get around pairing, but so far, none of them works as well as _looking_ at the random port. Android 12 Wireless Pairing *UPDATE #7:* All Windows debugging commands work only _after_ you've already paired! Windows pairing debuggers *UPDATE #8:* The separate issue of accessing all of Android as a Windows drive has been working flawlessly with the simple "net use" commands outside of adb. Windows Drive: === Android

C:\> net use Z: \\192.168.0.2@8080\DavWWWRoot /USER:foo bar && net use Y: \\192.168.0.2@8081DavWWWRoot /USER:foo bar && echo "Your Android phone is now mounted as Windows drive letters"
