Describe the bug Getting slow connection to my phone. Sometimes it goes to 41Mbps, then slows down to a crawl. Other times, I get 0.6/0.7Mbps and doesn’t speed up. Read in these forums that it’s because of WiFi. If it’s because of WiFi, why the f*** do we need the cable for other than keep it connected? I don’t get frameskips in the console, but it’s clear the viewer is skipping frames. Also, I’m running it at max resolution my phone supports. I know the speed problem isn’t PC performance since SCRCPY barely puts a dent on performance. CPU use with it is barely 11%. Also, I have a very powerful router with 5Ghz capacity and the phone is close to it. Console logs follows below. Despite the “reported” speed, it’s pretty slow.
