⭐Troubleshooting Tips:
🟢 Reconnection Issues: If you encounter a disconnection, the BEST solution is to attempt to reconnect.
🟢Key Release Issue: Sometimes, for a very brief moment, a disconnection between your phone and your PC may occur, causing your phone to not send the message to release a key on your PC. For example, if you hold 'W' on your phone to walk in a game on your PC/laptop and then release it, but you still see that your character is walking, don't panic. Just press and release the 'W' key again so that the command to release the key will be sent to the PC/laptop, and your character will stop.

🟢VPN Usage: To ensure a stable connection, always keep your VPNs turned off on both your PC and your phone. VPNs will interfere with the connection stability, leading to unexpected disconnections.
🟢Multiple Devices: Avoid trying to connect two phones simultaneously as it will cause disconnection.
🟢App Sleep Mode: If your phone automatically puts apps to sleep and you experience disconnection, simply reconnect after returning to the app.
