adb over Wi-Fi (Android 11+) on Windows: how to keep a fixed port or connect automatically?
07:38 01 Feb 2021

The wireless adb connection works fine on my Android 11 phone + Windows workstation.

But it's not convenient, as every time the phone Wifi disconnects/reconnects, I have to:

  1. Turn on wireless debugging in Android settings.
  2. Take note of the port number XXXXX, which changes every time!
  3. Run adb connect 192.168.1.10:XXXXX on the computer.

Is there a way to skip step 2, by either:

  • making the port fixed?
  • making Windows automatically detect the phone on the new port? (documentation seems to imply that step 2 and 3 are not needed on MacOS, once the pairing is done, I wonder how this works)
