# Remote Control Troubleshooting

## This guide explains how to troubleshoot and resolve issues when Remote Control (RC) is not functioning in Android Edge. It provides a structured sequence to help you identify common causes — such as missing permissions, outdated app versions, invalid tokens, connectivity problems, or OEM-specific requirements — and restore Remote Control quickly and reliably.

---

### **1. Verify Software Versions**

1. Confirm the device is running the latest **Remote Control** and **Springmatic Core Agent** production versions.
2. If unsure, check your release notes or consult your Springdel support contact.

---

### **2. Check Accessibility Permission**

1. On the device, go to **Settings \> Accessibility \> Remote Control**.
2. Ensure the toggle for Remote Control is **enabled**.

---

### **3. Enable KNOX (Samsung Only)**

1. If the device is Samsung, open the **Remote Control** app.
2. Click **Activate** to enable **KNOX** support.

---

### **4. Resolve “Device does not have RC Token” Problems**

1. If you see the message *“Device does not have RC Token”*, send a **Force Device Check-in** from the console.
2. Wait **1–2 minutes** and confirm **Last Seen** is updated.
3. Refresh the page and attempt Remote Control again.
4. If it still fails, send a **Reboot Command** to the device and retry after **1–2 minutes**.

---

### **5. Check for Firewall or Network Restrictions**

1. Connect the device to a **personal hotspot** and test Remote Control. 
     - If it works, the issue is likely firewall-related.
2. Review and allow the required firewall rules for RC traffic.
3. As a quick test, check if the device can access google.com or ping 8.8.8.8.

---

### **6. Verify Google Play Services**

1. On the device, confirm that **Google Play Services** is up to date.
2. Update if necessary and retry Remote Control.

---

### **7. Address Performance Issues (Slow or Laggy)**

1. Test the internet speed on both the admin workstation and the device.
2. Run the AWS Client Health Check to confirm connectivity to servers:

---

### **Remote Debugging**

If all else fails and the issue persists, please contact your **Springdel personnel**. They will arrange a remote debugging session for your device.

Before the session, please prepare the following:

1. Set up **AnyDesk** on the remote debugging laptop.
2. Download **Vysor** on the remote debugging laptop.
3. Connect the target device to the laptop: 
     - Ensure **Developer Options** and **USB Debugging** are turned on.
     - Turn on **Vysor** on the laptop.
     - Prepare the **ADB Package** on the laptop, or ensure the **Springdel Edge Tool** is installed.

---

### **Best Practices & Tips**

- **Version First**: Always confirm the Remote Control app and Springmatic Core Agent are on the latest versions before deeper troubleshooting.
- **Permissions Check**: Verify Accessibility is enabled, and KNOX is activated for Samsung devices, as these are the most common issues.
- **Early Token Reset**: Use Force Device Check-in early to resolve missing RC tokens and refresh device status.
- **Firewall Readiness**: Document and pre-approve firewall rules to prevent recurring network-related issues.
- **Samsung Setup**: Include KNOX activation as a standard part of Samsung device provisioning.
- **Performance Monitoring**: Regularly test connectivity and bandwidth on both the admin side and device side to minimize RC lag.
