Frequently Asked Questions

中文

ADB is connected, but there is no remote image

ADB is active, but the scrcpy video/control path has not reached its working state. Check session parameters, scrcpy-server startup, and whether the target accepts the selected display configuration.

Why use a pairing code for Wireless Debugging instead of only a QR code?

Application-level Android support for the complete mDNS pairing flow is limited. The pairing-code path is generally more reliable.

Can I use IPv6 addresses?

Yes. The current connection code normalizes IPv6 addresses and ports.

Why can the image fail after switching to the background?

The system can reclaim the display Surface more readily in normal mode. Use full-screen mode when background retention is required.

Why can the process page feel slower than the app page?

It displays a dynamic snapshot with icons, memory, grouping, and child-process expansion rather than a static app list.

Why is the floating ball missing in game mode?

Game mode no longer hides it automatically. Confirm that the session's floating-ball option is enabled. The global haptic setting controls vibration only and does not show the ball.

Why are FPS and network rates missing in game mode?

Open Settings and enable Show FPS & Network Rates. The switch is global, defaults to off, and takes effect without reconnecting; game mode does not override it.

What happens to an invalid low game-mode bitrate?

Game-mode presets are 1M, 2M, 4M, 8M, 12M, and 20M. An empty value uses 2M; a value below the supported range is normalized to 2M.

Why did importing a backup replace my current sessions?

Restore is a replacement operation for current settings, sessions, groups, pairing metadata, and ADB keys. Export a fresh backup before importing another file.

What should I check when connection parameters fail after an upgrade?

Confirm that the bundled scrcpy-server version matches the client implementation. The current main line bundles and supports scrcpy 4.1.
