How many devices can one PC control?+

For Android motherboard boxes: typically 3-5 boxes (60-100 nodes) per PC depending on CPU, RAM and software. USB mode uses more host resources than OTG/LAN. Send your target node count and we recommend a PC spec.

USB mode or OTG/LAN mode - which should I choose?+

USB mode (blue indicator): simpler setup, good for small labs and first evaluation. OTG/LAN mode (green indicator): better for 20+ devices on one network segment - box and PC share a router, devices scanned by IP range. See /manual for setup steps.

Motherboard box vs full phone array - what's the difference?+

Motherboard box: highest density, lowest power, boards without screen. Phone array: hot-swap drawers, can hold full phones, easier maintenance. Choose based on whether you need quick device swaps or maximum nodes per watt.

Android vs iPhone farm box?+

Android boxes use mainstream Samsung and other boards with established ADB/group-control tooling. iPhone boxes require specific models, higher cost and custom quote - send iOS version and model list in RFQ.

Can you customize ROM?+

Yes. Common requests: auto power-on after AC connect, persistent ADB authorization, disabled OTA prompts. Scope and lead time depend on board model - describe requirements in RFQ.

Can I choose the device model?+

Yes for Android - subject to supply. iPhone models depend on stock. We confirm availability before final quote. Sample order recommended for new model combinations.

What is a box phone farm?+

A box phone farm is a metal chassis integrating many Android motherboards or phones with centralized power and cooling. Group-control software on a Windows PC connects via USB or OTG/LAN for batch or individual device tasks. Used for app testing, QA automation, device management and lawful multi-device operations.

What are the application fields for phone farm hardware?+

Common fields include: in-game and app testing; e-commerce store group management; customer service routing; matrix customer acquisition workflows (where permitted); Android development bug detection and stress testing; cloud device rental labs; social media marketing device pools; software integration testing. Hardware is for development and testing only.

Can I control all phones at once?+

Yes. Group-control software supports batch operations on all connected devices simultaneously, or individual control per device.

What is the difference between a phone farm and a mobile device farm lab?+

Both terms describe many real devices controlled from one PC. A phone farm often means dedicated chassis hardware (motherboard box, 32PCS box). A mobile device farm lab is the broader QA/CI environment including PCs, routers and software. We supply the hardware layer; you run lawful testing workflows.

What is an Android phone farm?+

An Android phone farm is a fleet of real Android phones or motherboards connected to one PC for batch control, app QA and device management. Guangzhou Phone Farm supplies chassis hardware — see /android-device-farm and /products/motherboard-box.

What is phone farm equipment?+

Phone farm equipment includes the chassis (motherboard box, 32PCS box, 12PCS array), power and data cabling, optional routers/switches for OTG/LAN, and export packing. Software and control PCs are configured on your side; we include remote setup support with hardware orders.

Phone farm box vs cloud phone or emulator — when use real hardware?+

Use real phone farm hardware when you need OEM-specific behavior, sensors, GPU paths and full ADB — typical for app QA, compatibility and production-like testing. Emulators suit early dev; cloud phones suit short bursts but cost more at scale. Guide: /blog/phone-farm-vs-cloud-device-farm

Can phone farm hardware support app QA and compatibility testing?+

Yes — primary lawful use cases include mobile app QA, regression testing, compatibility across OEM Android skins, game performance soak tests and enterprise device lab workflows. Hardware is for development and testing only.

Do you offer rackmount or 2U phone farm cabinets?+

Yes as OEM custom projects — partial rack, 42U-class cabinets or floor cabinets with custom tray layout, cooling and PDU. Lead time 15–30 days after drawing approval. Guide: /rackmount-phone-farm · Product: /products/custom-cabinet

Can phone farm hardware be used for social media app testing and QA?+

Yes for lawful app QA, compatibility testing and regression on social or short-video apps when your workflow complies with platform terms. Hardware provides real devices for UI testing, performance soak tests and multi-device lab workflows — not for policy violations or fraud. Guide: /blog/phone-farm-social-app-qa-testing

What is a multi-device lab for account isolation testing?+

A multi-device lab uses separate physical devices (or isolated network paths) so QA teams validate login flows, MDM policies and enterprise apps without cross-device data leakage. Phone farm chassis provide the hardware layer; your software stack handles isolation. Hardware for development and testing only.

Can phone farm boxes support mobile ad SDK and ad verification testing?+

Yes — device labs use real hardware to test ad SDK integration, rendering, latency and compatibility across OEM Android skins before production rollout. This is standard app and SDK QA, not fraudulent ad traffic. See /blog/mobile-device-farm-app-qa-guide

What is the difference between a bot farm and a phone farm?+

Bot farms often mean software automation on servers or emulators. Phone farms use physical Android boards or phones in a chassis for real-device testing and lawful multi-device operations. Comparison article: /blog/the-difference-between-a-bot-farm-and-a-phone-farm

When should I choose 20-node motherboard box vs 32PCS chassis?+

Installation & Technical

What PC is recommended?+

Windows 10 or 11, 16 GB+ RAM, SSD, i5/Ryzen 5 or better for multi-box control. Avoid running heavy antivirus real-time scan on ADB folders. For 5+ boxes consider Xeon/E5 class with adequate USB controllers - share your scale for a written spec.

Why does Windows show insufficient USB resources?+

Too many devices on one USB host controller. Fix: use powered USB 2.0 hubs, split boxes across separate controllers, reduce simultaneous mirrors, or switch heavy loads to OTG/LAN mode. Details in /manual troubleshooting.

What is ADB authorization and why does it matter?+

ADB authorization files allow PC to communicate with boards without repeated on-screen prompts. Files must be placed in the correct Windows user profile folder. Replacing PC or reinstalling OS requires re-authorization - backup your authorization folder.

Devices not detected - first checks?+

1) Cable and power 2) Developer options + USB debugging enabled 3) Authorization files in place 4) No conflicting phone assistant software 5) Try another USB 2.0 port. Contact us with AnyDesk if still stuck.

What router is recommended for OTG/LAN?+

~20 devices: stable consumer router often sufficient. 50+: dedicated soft router with gigabit backbone. Router must assign stable IPs on same segment as control PC. We can bundle pre-configured router in quote.

Can you help install remotely?+

Yes. Basic remote setup is included with hardware orders (AnyDesk). We walk through power-on, USB/OTG mode, ADB authorization, mirror, batch control, OTG scan and common errors until operational. Schedule within 5 business days of hardware arrival.

Screen goes black after mirroring — what to do?+

Increase screen standby timeout in phone settings. Unlock device once after boot. See /manual#troubleshooting for password-page black screen and control issues.

Screen mirrors but mouse cannot control the device?+

Enable Developer options → USB settings (safe mode) → USB simulation click. Re-enable accessibility/input service in your control software.

Unrecognized USB device?+

Change USB port or PC; replace cable; re-seat connection; try another phone/board in the same slot to isolate hardware vs cable fault.

What PC spec for 3–5 boxes?+

Windows 10/11, Xeon E5-2680 V2 multi-core or better, 32 GB RAM recommended, SSD, multiple USB 2.0 root ports or powered hubs. Nanjin X79-class boards support 120+ USB with expansion cards. See /manual#recommended-pc.

How does phone farm box cooling work at 24/7 operation?+

Motherboard boxes use integrated chassis fans (~100W at 20 nodes); 32PCS boxes use triple-fan active cooling (~160W). Leave airflow gaps when stacking. Clean filters monthly in dusty environments. Guide: /blog/phone-farm-cooling-power-chassis-vs-open-racks

How many phone farm devices can one PC control?+

Typically 3–5 × 20-node motherboard boxes (60–100 nodes) or 2–4 × 32PCS boxes depending on software and mirroring load. USB mode hits controller limits before CPU; OTG/LAN scales further with router planning. Guide: /blog/how-many-devices-one-pc-control-usb-otg-lan
