TCP/WiFi Connection

Fresh

Total Control supports wireless device connection over TCP on the same LAN.

Prerequisites

• PC and phone on the same local network
• Initial USB connection required once
• WiFi connection on the phone

Setup Steps

1. Initial USB Connection — Connect the phone via USB at least once
2. Get IP Address — The mobile app displays the device's IP address on its main page
3. Enter IP in PC Client — Type the phone's IP address in the TC connection dialog
4. Connect — Click connect to establish TCP connection

Security

TCP connections include a security confirmation. To avoid clicking "Agree" each time:

• Option A: Set a confirmation password
• Option B: Remove notification confirmation

Huawei Phones (Android 8.0+)

Enable "ADB debugging in Charge Only mode" in Settings > System > Developer Options to allow TCP connections.

Troubleshooting TCP

Issue	Cause	Solution
Connection fails	Different LANs	Ensure same access point
Connection fails	Firewall blocking	Disable firewall between devices
"Need USB connection first"	Background process stopped	Set USB to charging only before unplugging
Frequent disconnections	High latency/packet loss	Move closer to AP, reduce interference
"Agree" button doesn't appear	Phone compatibility	Remove notification confirmation, use password
Connection drops after screen off	Phone sleep settings	Turn off TCP sleep in phone settings, keep WiFi on during sleep

Best Practices

• Use 5GHz WiFi for lower latency
• Position access point close to devices
• Allow TC app to run in background (especially for Huawei, OPPO, Xiaomi)
• For phone hotspot direct connection, connect PC directly to phone's hotspot
