PC: Switch USB to TCP/IP mode

After Chrome extension recognizes your phone, it will ask RSA confirmation on your phone. Confirm the dialog.

Then, you will see the right picture on PC.

Now, Press “USB” icon. It should change to WiFi icon.

​

[New Update]

We added “Grant BATTERY_STAT” button.

(This is better option than USB. If it works, the icon changes to THUMB_UP)
