See every reconnect attempt; know which screen your device watches; public Wi-Fi web sign-in arrives
Network hiccups, fully visible
- When the connection drops mid-chat, you now see exactly what's going on: the cause, a live countdown to the next retry, and which attempt it is — no more guessing at a spinner. (Full detail requires the latest device update)
- Automatic retries raised from 3 to 10, so flaky networks get ridden out more often.
- Pressing Stop during a retry wait now takes effect immediately instead of sitting out the delay. (Requires the latest device update)
- Fixed a rare case where the "reconnecting" chip could get stuck on screen.
Know which screen your device is watching
- Settings → Device gains a "Mirrored Screen" row: the display your device currently sees, with its name, resolution, and main-screen badge.
- Multiple monitors? Hit "Locate" and the mirrored screen flashes a bold overlay so you can spot it instantly.
- If the device can't see anything (e.g. the screen is set to Extend instead of Mirror), you get a clear notice and a one-click jump into the system's display settings.
Public Wi-Fi web sign-in arrives
- New: when the device joins a Wi-Fi network that needs a web login (hotels, airports), your computer can pop the sign-in page to help the device get online. (Requires the latest device update)
Steadier proactive engine
- If an app restarts, Violoop picks it back up automatically instead of going quiet from then on.
- On Windows, many more apps work with no setup at all.
- Input suggestions you've dismissed won't keep coming back, and a rare stray popup is fixed.
Device rests when your computer does
- When your computer sleeps, shuts down, or you quit the app, scheduled tasks and background features on the device pause automatically and stop consuming credit; everything resumes when the computer is back. Runs missed while away are skipped, not replayed in a burst. (Requires the latest device update)
Other improvements
- Device network proxy can now be configured right during first-time setup.
- Context-menu Copy now copies just the text you selected, not the whole message.
- Fixed the press-the-device-button dialog showing Chinese text on an English UI.
