How to wireless debug an android device

• Enable "developer mode" on the device
• Enable "Debug USB"
• Enable "Debug ADB while charging"
• Connect the device via USB (and allow every related popup)
• Copy the "platform-tools_r34.0.5-windows.zip" file
• Extract it and open a terminal in the same location as the "adb.exe" file
• launch next command to open a tcpip connection on port 5555:

 adb tcpip 5555

• launch next command and check if your usb device is listed:

adb devices

• launch next command to enable wireless debug on the device:

adb connect <device_ip_address>

• launch again this command to verify that your device is listed as connected both USB and wireless

 adb devices

• disconnect the usb
• launch again this command to verify that your device is still there only as wireless connected

 adb devices

• search for "chrome://inspect" and wait a few until all the device chrome's

-If you find any problem just kill the tcp connection and restart:

adb kill-server

Encountered issues

• Both devices must be connected to the same network
• Sometimes you need to disable end re-enable "usb debug"
• When on "chrome://inspect" you may need to open a few tabs to make it appear in the list or just wait a bit (it's not that rapid)
