Before it was working, but why do I now have a blank page?
Check if you're connected to the wifi named “WIFI”. If yes, maybe your Android want you to turn off your cellular connection (3g - 4g - 5g) to make it appear.
I have a very strange interface with a lot of display problems.
If your interface looks weird, or your device doesn't vibrate, or the light button doesn't turn blue or you have any similar issue, 95% of the issues are solved by following the STEPS above the FAQ. Try it, it should fix it.
My device is not recognized by my computer when I follow the 8 STEPS, why ?
Be sure you used the cable provided with HACKER. If it's the case, try to plug the cable in another port, close the software, and open it again, it should resolve the port issue.
Why can't I see more than 5 wifi networks on my phone?
It depends on the phone. Sometimes a spectator's phone will display 3 wifi networks, sometimes 20, sometimes 50, sometimes 100. It varies depending on the age of the phone and whether it has internal wifi security or not. This can't be controlled, but the impact on the spectator remains the same.
How long do I need to charge it ?
It takes around 4/5 hours the first time to charge it fully. After that initial charge, it only takes a few hours.
My spectator can't see any wifi networks!
Always ensure you have at least two people checking at the same time! The more you have, the better. This way, you're sure that at least one of the two spectator phones will see the networks appearing. Some phones have internal issues that we cannot control.
I don't have an Emergency button! Why?
In Android Mode, the button is OK. Because the EMERGENCY button is only found on the iPhone interface.
My problem is not here, what to do ?
