ADB : unable to connect to 192.168.1.10:5555

Question

I cannot use adb connect to connect via wifi to my device (nexus 5, android 6), but since i\'m developping a cordova plugin using usb OTG, I really need to connect

Answer 1

I ran into this same issue on not being able to connect via Wi-Fi but was using the snap version of scrcpy. I kept seeing messages like adb server version (40) doesn't match this client (39); killing... when I would run adb or scrcpy commands but it still worked, until I tried to connect over Wi-Fi.

$ scrcpy 
INFO: scrcpy 1.16 
adb server version (40) doesn't match this client (39); killing...
* daemon started successfully
adb: error: failed to get feature set: no devices/emulators found
ERROR: "adb push" returned with value 1

I believe this means it was unable to push the server app to the device.

Running the commands to setup Wi-Fi using the adb built into the snap, scrpy.adb solved this for me.

$ scrcpy.adb tcpip 5555
$ scrcpy.adb connect 192.168.1.25:5555
