I am trying to setup ADB debugging via a wired USB connection from my PC running Window 10 Pro (on a 64-bit Core i7) to my Sony Smartwatch 3.
My PC is generally setup for Android Development, including for Android Wear (e.g. ADB debugging my Nexus 5X phone or Samsung Gear Live watch both work fine). I've enabled developer options on the watch, including "ADB Debugging".
I believe the problem is that I don't have a USB driver setup properly. As far as I know, it should work with the "Google USB Driver", which I have installed, but nevertheless, I get the yellow triangle next to "Smartwatch 3" in device manager.
I tried to follow the instructions from "Unable to Use Android USB Drivers on Windows 10", but I got this error dialog and could not proceed:
Select Device
The folder you specified doesn't contain a compatible software driver for your device. If the folder contains a driver, make sure it is designed to work with Windows for x64-based systems.
OK
While I was writing this question, I managed to get it working!
Here's what I did:
I followed the instruction from this post:
1) Right click on the Start menu and select Device Manager
2) Right click on the Android Device and select Update Driver
3) Select Browse my computer for driver software
4) Select Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer
At this point, I chose "Android Device" (or one of the Android things anyway) and then "Android ADB Interface", rather than using the path to the Google USB Driver.
Following the Standard instructions to make use of the USB Drivers for Android Development provided by Google here
http://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html
Does not work on Windows 10
1) Right click on the Start menu and select Device Manager
2) Right click on the Android Device and select Update Driver
3) Select Browse my computer for driver software
4) Select Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer
5) Select have Disk and find the below location and paste in.
<SDK Location>\extras\google\usb_driver
Default location might be like below.
C:\Users\<your username>\AppData\Local\Android\android-sdk\extras\google\usb_driver
6) Click Next
7) Select the Android ADB Interface
8) Allow debugging on your device and your all set
You should now be able too easily develop on Xamarin or any other android platform and debug right to your device
After upgrading to windows 10, I tried all methods other than using the OEM provided USB cable for connecting my Galaxy Alpha phone. On using the USB cable which came along with the phone, it instantly got connected to my windows 10 pc.
I just found you need first to reboot windows (8/10) with feature Disable Driver Signature enforcement turned off, running command
shutdown /r /o
then selecting Troubleshoot, Advanced options, Startup Settings, Restart button and finally pressing F7 to "Disable Driver Signature enforcement" (just temporary until next reboot) as described below:
http://www.top-password.com/blog/how-to-disable-driver-signature-enforcement-in-windows-10-8-7/
Then, after you plug in Android device, you can see it in Device Manager, click Update Driver Software..., Browse My Computer for Driver Software, Let me pick from list of device ..., then there should be a button Have Disk and you should be free to pick a directory with downloaded Android USB Driver.
At least this option worked for me with combination of various ARM devices.
Android Studio 0.3.6
Fedora 18 3.11.7-100.fc18.x86_64
Nexus 5 Kitkat
Hello,
I have been using my Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 running Android 4.1.2 everything works fine with adb.
However, I have just bought a new Nexus 5 device, and when I do the following command adb devices it doesn't show my Nexus 5.
Under Android SDK Manager | Extras | Google USB Driver | status "Not compatiable with Linux"
Because I am running Fedora 18 if I need drivers what drivers for the USB do I need?
Because the Samsung works fine and I can deploy and run my apps, I think my setup is correct. So I am wondering if there is something wrong with my Nexus 5.
I have tried the following:
adb kill-server
adb start-server
Setting the Nexus 5 Camera PTP and media device MTP didn't work.
Many thanks for any suggestions,
I had a similar problem with my Nexus 4(Android version 4.4.2), it wasn't listed in adb devices.
Make sure USB debugging is enabled from device, and do the following on your PC:
Update Android SDK (Google USB Driver)
From PC Control Panel, System -> Device manager -> Right click Nexus 4 -> Update driver.
Set android-sdk-folder\extras\google\usb_driver as path to search, include subfolders checked.
If windows tells you that the driver is up to date, just uninstall the driver (right click on nexu4 -> uninstall driver) and start from step 2 again.
After that, open a cmd and type adb kill-server and then a adb devices, now it will include your device.
https://developer.android.com/studio/run/oem-usb.html
Follow these steps,
Enable Developer options in your device. To enable the developer mode, Settings->About phone, tap Build number option 7 times continuously
Go to Settings-> Developer options and Turn on USB debugging
Make sure you reconnected the device via USB and grant permission on the dialog that appears.
From the above steps it didn't work try this step, Go to Settings->Security and turn on Unknown Sources
What you need to do is this:
Settings | About Phone
Scroll to the bottom to build number.
Tap on build number about 7 times. Each time you will get a popup message saying you are x steps away from being a developer
When you get to the final step you will get a message saying now you are a developer
Go back into settings and you will see a new setting Developer options there you will see a lot of options for developers. Enable USB debugging
Re-connect you phone to the usb, and you should see you device under adb devices.
I hope this answer helps someone else.
This simple steps worked for me, I debug on my Nexus 5 and 5X devices on Windows 8.1.
The steps to follow are these:
1) Enable from Developers Options the Debug USB Mode
2) Unplug the device from the computer
3.1) Go to Settings → Storage, in the ActionBar, click the option menu and choose USB computer connection.
3.2) If you didn't find the 3.1) option then go to Settings → Developers Options → Select USB Configuration.
4) Select Camera (PTP) connection.
5) Plug the device and you should have a popup on the device allowing you to accept the computer's incoming connection, or something like that.
6) If it doesn't work try to toggle the Debug USB Mode in the Developers Options
Finally, you should see it now in the DDMS and voilà.
My windows solution:
Go here and download and unzip to an easy location:
http://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html#top
Right click 'My Computer' or 'Computer'
Select properties
Select Device manager
Look for your device. It should have a yellow mark above it.
Click 'update driver software'.
select browse my computer for driver software.
select the usb_driver folder you saved earlier.
install it
and wala. magic.
For those who are still frustrated, if you are using the experimental ART runtime, try switching back to dalvik (in developer options on device)
Here is simple solution for Windows 7 and Nexus 5 on Android 5.
Download the Nexus 5 Drivers from http://androidhost.org/jelry
Extract the zip contents and place all files in a single folder on your desktop.
Connect your device to your computer.
Launch the Device Manager on your PC.
Now you should see the Nexus 5 listed in the hardware list.
Right-click the ‘Nexus 5′ line and then click on Update Driver Software.
Next, click the ‘browse my computer’ option.
In the new window click on ‘Browse…’ button.
Go to folder unzipped at step 2. Select the folder where you extract the USB Drivers. Click Next. – make sure to tick the subfolder box too.
Now, the Windows installer will search for Nexus 5 drivers, click Install when asked for permission.
Wait for the process to complete and then check the Device Manager list to confirm that the installation was successful.

Note: do not forget to enable USB debugging on your device :)
Something nobody has mentioned yet:
Some cables do NOT support data. I was sitting here wondering why my Nexus 5 was refusing to show up on OSX. It turned out I was using a cable that didn't support data.
I swapped to a different cable which did support it, and suddenly I was able to use USB debugging.
If anyone is trying to connect Nexus 5 to a formatted Windows XP then follow these steps:
Download and install media transfer protocol porting kit:
MTP porting kit
Download and install WMFDistributable-11 for XP:
WMFDist-11 XP
Download and install LG United Mobile Driver v3.10.1:
stackoverflow is not allowing to share more than 2 links, please google this.
Connect your device.
Go to Device Management
Right click on Nexus 5 and click Update Driver
Select Yes this time only
Select Install Software Automatically
Wait for sometime.. and enjoy transferring files
ADB and driver versions matter. The newer the device, the lower the chances of an older version ADB to work correctly.
Apps using their own ADB copy need to be updated or at least have their ADB updated manually.
When installing Helium / Carbon for instance, it uses an old / incomplete ADB. Newer devices might not link to the ADB server for this very reason.
What I'm writing here should work for any future devices on Windows and possibly *nix OSes.
First the systems must be prepared.
on Android:
activate developer mode, either from an app (like Helium, when prompted) or by accessing the about phone section, taping build number until the developer mode unlocks
in developer settings enable USB debugging
in security settings allow unknown sources
(when connected with USB cable) set USB connectivity to PTP mode (camera device, if so labeled)
in Windows:
uninstall older USB driver (with file removal) if there is one, but only when the device is connected and in developer mode, otherwise
that particular device won't be listed
install latest USB driver after the device has been plugged in and developer mode is active, the device will be listed as unknown or other in Device Manager; the drivers can be downloaded separately from Google Android support site, these are the same as vendor drivers, with only fewer ID's in inf file making the driver not being recognized for all Android devices
if the driver does not recognise the device, no problem, install it generically: Manual Install > Show All Devices > Have Disk > pick inf location of the Android USB driver and from the list select Android ADB Interface; there's not need to edit the inf by adding hardware ids, the end result is the same
each of the modes, PTP and MTP will have their own driver entry, so if the device asks for MTP, the same driver installation procedure must be followed, again
Once these steps are/were previously done correctly, adb must be tested.
If Android SDK was installed previously, open a command prompt where adb.exe is
and test the listing of the device.
adb start-server
IMPORTANT NOTE: This command will prompt the device to allow the communication between the computer it's been linked to on the first run. The prompt will also list an RSA key specific to the PC in question. Without this prompt on start-server, ADB will NOT work! Nor will any application relying on ADB.
adb devices
Must list the device(s). If the list is empty, and most likely the RSA prompt did not occur, then no communication will work. If the list is empty the current ADB (and SDK) must be updated or installed fresh (in the case of apps bringing in their own ADB runtime, like Helium / Carbon).
In the case of applications that do bring their own ADB, if the version is old, and these apps insist in using it instead of the SDK one, these files need to be replaced with the latest ones from Android SDK. Plain and simple copy & paste.
As for Android SDK, the only required packages to be installed are SDK Tools and Platform-tools. There, ADB.exe will need some support libraries, on Windows these files are AdbWinApi.dll and AdbWinUsbApi.dll. After all is done, the SDK can be uninstalled from SDK Manager while being able to retain the ADB tool if this is the only runtime used, depending on the case in question.
After doing all steps like enable debug, ... I had to put a sim card and reboot the phone
Solution for Windows 7 and Nexus 5 (should be applicable for any Nexus device):
I figured out that my system was installing the Nexus 5 default driver for windows automatically the moment I was connecting my Nexus 5 to my system through USB. So uninstalling the default driver was in vain and it gets installed automatically anyways.Moreover if you uninstall the default driver, you won't be able to locate Nexus 5 under Devices in Computer Management. So here is what i did and worked for me!
Computer-->right Click-->Manage-->Device Manager-->Portable Device-->Nexus 5-->Update Driver Software
Choose 'Browse my computer for driver software'
1.Make sure to give this location: %APPDATA%\Local\Android\sdk\extras\google\usb_driver
Click Next and you are done.
I have suffered the same issue and was able to solve it by simply changing on my Android device (Nexus 5X) in Developer options > Select USB Configuration to RNDIS (USB Ethernet)
For those trying to connect their android phone in adb with no luck and have tried every USB configuration (MTP, PTP, RNDIS). It is worthing noting that in my case with my Nexus 5X on Windows 7 I successfully connected the phone to adb only by choosing the Charging USB Configuration. With any other configuration (MTP, PTP, ...) it doesn't work.
USB Driver: Google USB Driver v11
ADB Version: Android Debug Bridge version 1.0.39
Madx's answer is a strong hint. Now I can make MTP work for my Ubuntu 20 and Nexus 5X (Android 8) device. MTP is an easy solution in Windows for smartphone users. However, to me and many Ubuntu/Linux users, current Ubuntu/Linux MTP tools "LOOK" messy and unstable for Android devices, e.g. No folder is shown for android phone in Nautilus.
Delving deeper I find it might be a security enhancement done by GOOGLE in the Android device/phone side. Direct internal data access remains a privilege for the developers. And one needs to set/reset MTP as a developer for Android device in order to make Ubuntu MTP tools work. There is nothing wrong with Ubuntu/Linux MTP tools.
The steps for MTP data access are an extension to Madx's answer:
(For Android device) Enable from Developers Options the Debug USB Mode.
Unplug the device from the computer.
3.1) Go to Settings → Storage, in the ActionBar, click the option menu and choose USB computer connection.
3.2) If you didn't find the 3.1) option then go to Settings → Developers Options → Select USB Configuration.
4.1) Select MTP connection.
4.2) Select Camera (PTP) connection.
4.3) Select MTP connection again. (This refreshs GOOGLE MTP protocol stack, I guess)
Plug the device and you should have a popup on the device allowing you to accept the computer's incoming connection, or something like that.
If it doesn't work try to toggle the Debug USB Mode in the Developers Options
And now file folders are shown up for N5X device in Nautilus.
Are these too much? There might be a bug in Android MTP implementation, and 4.2) & 4.3) are steps to WAKE Up Android MTP stack:-)
As a kind reminder, Windows and FTP are the last resorts for MTP.
Try executing :
sudo ./adb kill-server
sudo ./adb start-server
sudo ./adb devices
In my case:
The phone was connected as a media device.
Clicked on that message and got a menu. "USB computer connection"
In that menu chose to connect it as a camera (for devices that do not support MTP)
And then it worked.
Oh boy, I spent 3 hours for this simple thing and tried combination of above instructions.If it doesnt work for you, just try several combinations of above instructions and it will. I am on windows 7 and nexus 5. Issue I had was when I try to install driver from the google usb folder, windows 7 fails to install. Here are my steps:
-first uninstall all nexus drivers on windows 7. connect with USB cable, go to device manager and uninstall the driver; unplug the cable and repeat until no drivers are found and nexus shows up under "other devices" in device manager. I also configured nexus device as camera (PTP)
-follow #Dharani Kumar instructions. They make appropriate configuration changes for nexus device
-follow #Harshit Rathi instructions. They will ensure eclipse can show the device when windows detects the device
-unplug and replug the USB cable after a minute. Now you should see a pop up on nexus device. click it so that windows 7 will allow installing the driver from your local system. if you dont see this, restart your device or pc
-follow #Rick's instructions.you can download USB driver as listed by #jimbob
If you still have a problem, re read this entire thread and go from there (I spent hours on other web sites; those bits and pieces didnt help)
Go here and download and unzip to an easy location:
http://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html#top
Download and install
I had the same problem, USB debugging enabled, device showing up in windows but I never got the question about RSA fingerprint when I connected my Nexus (6) device, nor did it show up in the Android Device Manager.
BUT
In the windows device manager I did have an entry saying it was an android device and Composite ADB interface etc. Still didn't work.
When I tried the previous tips about manually updating the drivers, Windows 8.1 just responded that "Windows has determined that the driver software for your device is up to date" this was not true. Looking at the driver details I saw that the driver was published by "ClockworkMod". I realized this must be because I had installed the Helium app sometime last year. So I uninstalled that, still had the same problem. Checked again, this time it was indeed google drivers, but version 7 published in 2012 (and not version 11 published 2014). I uninstalled these AS WELL and then tried the trick of reinstalling the driver from the SDK located in:
%localappdata%\Android\sdk\extras\google\usb_driver
Now when I replugged my device it finally works and can be debugged with Android Studio.
Indeed a driver problem.
Answer by Rick and MadX is the right way to do the steps (Thumbs Up for the answer)
In my case I am using
Akcess USB Type C Data Sync Cable For Nexus 5x, 5P - White
As Nexus 5x do not supply type C to usb cable I purchased it from some vendor.
Having the same issue. What I am doing stupidly is:-
I am connecting the cable in wrong way. After I reconnect it from upside down its working for me.
I might think that some of the Cables do not support debuggable. But its in my case.
This(Image) is my case the Type C should be as USB side symbol. A stupid solution, but work for me
I have installed Windows 8 release preview
and I cant install android USB drivers, it says this:
and
"the third party INF does not contain digital signature information"
what to do?
Disable device signature confirmation on Win8 and follow the guide here. www.androidsim.net/2009/08/how-to-1-how-to-install-usb-driver-on.html
I had the same issue a while ago. Seeing that the USB driver hasn't been updated since, the simple (and probably unsatifying) answer is revert back to windows 7. I've seen some scetchy drivers around but not for your device.
Windows 8 is still in preview/developer stage and I doubt we'll see proper drivers until it's closer to release. Just keep checking the SDK Manager and try again when the USB driver has an update.
Disable driver signing
Run Command Prompt as an administrator
Paste and run the following commands:
bcdedit -set loadoptions DISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS
bcdedit -set TESTSIGNING ON
or:
Win+c => parameters => Shift + restart and then like a links below...
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/windows-startup-settings-including-safe-mode
http://www.fotoclubinc.com/blog/how-to-disable-driver-signature-enforcement-to-allow-installation-of-windows-7-printer-drivers-on-windows-8/
I had the some problem, and this how I fixed it.
On windows 8, Hold any SHIFT on your keyboard and Click Settings on the right corner of your PC or laptop, than the Menu bar of Settings will appear, than click Power, than click restart
You will see the Choose an Option, than you choose Troubleshoot
Under Troubleshoot choose Advanced options, and Under Advanced options choose Startup Settings, than click Restart, than press 7. After your PC or Laptop restart your will be able to Install Android ADB Drivers or any Drivers
I hope this will help you too
BLU VIVO AIR had same issue. I blogged about getting the generic google usb driver to install here with step by step and no funny links or ads - http://www.devfish.net/post/2015/07/20/android-usb-adb-drivers-for-blu-phones-vivo-air.aspx . Windows 8.1 ....
Use a USB cable to connect the Windows PC and your phone .
Open up Device manager. You'll see the BLU VIVO AIR show up in "Other Devices" as unavailable.
Download and install the Google Generic USB Driver from http://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html#top .
Note down and remember the location where you install the google driver to.
Right mouse the BLU VIVO AIR, select Update Driver Software…
Select "Browse for driver software on your computer"
Navigate to where you installed the Google USB Driver software
Select "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer"
Select "Show all devices"
Select "Have Disk"
Navigate to where you installed the Google USB driver, select the android_winusb.inf file
In the Update Driver Software - VIVO AIR dialog select "Android ADB Interface"
Ignore the "Update Driver Warning" message.
You will now see the Android Device -> Android ADB Interface in Device Manager, and VIVO AIR will be gone from "Other Devices". You should now also be able to turn on things like USB/Mass Storage Mode on the phone so you can view files from Windows Explorer as well as debug to the device.
I want to run my Android project on a device.
My device is not detected in Eclipse when I connect it with a USB cable.
I restarted Eclipse and I have checked that USB debugging is on, on the device.
Can anybody tell me what the problem is and how to resolve it?
Before starting, Make sure that USB DEBUGGING IS ENABLED in your phone settings !!!
1) BASIC STEP - Plug in device via USB, then go to device page in Android developers blog. There you can find necessary information regarding adding USB vendor ids. Add your device specific ids, and restart eclipse if needed.
2)If you were able to see the device connected(using command: 'adb devices'
) earlier, but not anymore, then just try restarting ADB. (you can use the commands: 'adb kill-server' followed by 'adb start-server'. adb commands need to be executed from platform tools folder in the Android SDK, if you havent exported it).
3)If neither of them works out and you are on windows machine,
then check the installed usb drivers are correct. If not install proper drivers
Please find more information on how to install/update drivers in http://developer.android.com/tools/extras/oem-usb.html
If this also is not working, try installing Universal ADB windows driver https://plus.google.com/103583939320326217147/posts/BQ5iYJEaaEH
4)You may also try increasing the timeout time
Go to preferences-> android->DDMS in eclipse, then try increasing 'ADB connection timeout(ms)' value
Update based on newer answers:
5)Run > Run Configurations > Target. Please make sure, the option "Always prompt to pick device" is enabled.
Special case: Windows 8 and Nexus 10 (from this question: ADB No Devices Found)
Windows 8 wouldn't recognize my Nexus 10 device. Fixed by Setting the
transfer mode to Camera (PTP) through the settings dialogue on the
device.
Settings > Storage > Menu > USB Computer connection to "Camera (PTP)"
I solve this problem by updating PC portable device drivers:
Go to : Settings -> Applications -> Development to enable USB debugging
Plug in device USB
Desktop "My Computer" right click -> "Manager"
Choose "Device Manager"
Portable Device
right click on your device -> "Update Driver software" -> Search automatically (wait about 3-5min, )
Done
Restarting the adb server, Eclipse, and device did the trick for me.
C:\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools>adb kill-server
C:\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools>adb start-server
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
I had the same problem as mentioned on this question.
I had similar problem, drivers was okey, but Eclipse did show me the device in Run > Run Configurations > Target tab. But I checked the option "Always prompt to pick device". And then running the application from Eclipse the prompt window finally showed my device.
After a long and frustrating search, finally I made my Micromax Funbook p362 to connect with eclipse and made it to suit for development.
*Installed Moborobo (All in one Android smart phone management tool).
*Perform stop -server / start -server using ADB.
*Reboot the device.
*Restart the eclipse.
*Device got detected.(Eclipse - list of adb devices)
In addition to the steps provided by #asfsafgsf (above), make sure to re-enable your phone's developer modes/functions. For my Motorola Atrix:
settings>applications>Unknown Sources: allow 3rd party apps
settings>applications>Development: to enable USB debugging, mock locations, and disable phone sleep
A note on developer modes
USB Debugging is the main mode you will need for running apps through eclipse when your phone is connected via usb (obviously). Disable phone sleep is also handy for self-explanatory reasons.
Allowing 3rd party app sources allows you to beta test your app on a larger-scale. With this, you can host your own apk and instruct your beta-testers to download it (prior to releasing it to the Google Play storefront). More specifically, 3rd party support allows the installation of android package files that don't contain a google approved signature (required for play store hosting). With 3rd party apps enabled, a handset will be able to run packages regardless of their source. You should also be able to receive an APK via bluetooth and install it in this mode.
You can also list all currently connected devices by running the following command:
adb devices
Go to http://developer.android.com/tools/extras/oem-usb.html#InstallingDriver and follow the steps on the android website but on browsing for the USB folder don't use the directory specified -> ((sdk)\extras\google\usb_driver). (sdk) just means your sdk location.
Your phone should have the correct driver and it can be accessed when you plug it in and go to the CD Driver in My Computer, in my case it's G:\drivers\adb_driver. Use this directory instead and it should work. (It may be differ with devices).
One possible reason is to check Android SDK Manager and install Google USB Driver in Extras folder if you have not installed it.
Following the steps here: http://developer.android.com/sdk/oem-usb.html#InstallingDriver allowed Eclipse to display the device.
Do following steps to detect your device in eclipse : -
On Mobile Side:- For Connect USB sync, your Android device needs to have USB Debugging enabled.
To enable Android USB Debugging Mode do following steps :-
Android 2.x - 3.x devices:
Go to Settings > Application > Development > USB Debugging.
Android 4.x devices:
Go to Settings > Developer Options > USB Debugging.
For devices running Android 4.2.2 or later, you may need to unlock Developer Options before it is available within the Menu:
Go to Android home screen.
Pull down the notification bar.
Tap "Settings"
Tap "About Device"
Tap on the "Build Number" button about 7 times.
Developer Mode should now be unlocked and available in Settings >
More > Developer Options or in Settings > Developer Options
On PC side
Connect your device to the PC with USB cable.
Download Google USB Driver
Extract/Unzip “latest_usb_driver_windows.zip” file on your computer
(using 7-zip free software, preferably)
Open device manager on your PC
Windows 7 & 8 users → search for
Device Manager from Start (or Start screen) and click to open.
Windows XP users → Google it
You will see list of all devices attached to your computer in the
device manager. Just find your device (it’ll most probably
be in the Other devices list with a yellow exclamation mark by the
name of ADB devices), then Right-click on it and select Update
Driver Software.
Select “Browse my computer for driver software” in the next window
Now click the “Browse…” button and select the “usb_driver” folder
that we extracted in Step 3 from “latest_usb_driver_windows.zip”
file.
Do NOT select the zip file, select the folder where the
contents of the zip file are extracted. And keep the Include
subfolders box checked
During the installation (as a security check) Windows may ask your
permission to install the drivers, click “Install”
Once the installation is complete you’ll see a refreshed list of
devices on the Device manager screen showing your phone’s driver
installed successfully.
Now in eclipse do following steps to install your app in your device:-
Go to Run > Run Configurations > Target tab.
Check option "Always prompt to pick device". And then running the
application from Eclipse,the prompt window finally showed
your device.
Please check whether your device is shown in the Eclipse device tab in Window > Open Perspective. If its not shown there then you need to install drivers for the the device. Once the device is visible in the Devices tab then change the launch settings for manual target. Once you launch your app then it will allow you to choose from the real device or the virtual devices
If you have the following problem
Then you can so following to fix it
Note : You should enable USB debugging on your android device(It will be in developer option in System settings)
I had this problem. With my galaxy S2. So came here for advice, but couldn't find anything specific. Then I found this 'Kies' software on the Samsung site, under the section for my exact model of phone, under downloads, after clicking software.
It installed the right USB drivers as part of the process of installing Kies and so my phone instantly then became visible on eclipse.
The Kies version for Galaxy S2 (GT I1900) = http://www.samsung.com/uk/support/model/GT-I9100LKAXEU-downloads#
There are other versions of Kies for other android models of course.
(new) device not showing, Check List:
Developer Option ON
USB debugging ON
Try changing to USB Storage/MTP/PTP
if it installs Window driver and fails, there's your problem (verify in Windows Device Manager) fix it.
ok this is an old thread -
but I spent nearly two days and did not get anywhere
Here is what solved my problem
I had USB debugging enabled ( finding developer options itself was a pain - I think the 7 times tap from google is childish and just plain stupid - rant over )
However HTC syn manager , eclipse ADT and windows computer management were all unable to identify my device
My problem was my phone was set to ONLY USB Charge - this was the problem
In 'USB Computer connection' >> Choose the option USB Storage
Once you do this - PC will install drivers and your device will get detected by Eclipse as well as in 'Computer Management' under ''Android USB devices '
Now I still dont know a way to access ''USB Computer connection' but at that time I did get the option to change and t worked
For those ( like me earlier ) who dont know how to identify if 'Computer Management' shows their device look for 'Android USB devices '
If its present - then your device is being detected by your PC
Hope this helps some others

On a kitkat Google Nexus 7, I tired everything here, and did not succeed. The device did previously connect properly to this computer.
Then I hit settings - developer-options - Revoke USB debugging authorisations
and confirmed that I really did want to revoke them.
I unplugged and plugged the USB. The tablet beeped and asked if wanted to authorise the computer for debugging. I said "Yes" and everything worked again.
For me the problem is with Defective USB Cable. I have tried those above all answers. Nothing gives me any fix. But finally i came to know the problem is because of my usb cable while changing the usb cable. While connecting through the usb cable the phone is charging but the drivers are not installed. Some usb cable don't have the option for that. So while buying check it and buy.
Best approach is install PDA net(software) on both system as well as in android device. This software automatically installs global driver for all phones, provides easy connectivity to android device.

Here is my checklist in windows (not the device itself) when my device is not shown:
Make sure "USB debugging is turned in setting>Developer options.
Check status bar on your device. It tells you if your phone is connected as Media Device (MTP) or Send images (PTP). My device is only listed when PTP is selected.
Turn of windows firewall.
Turn of any proxy programs ran on whole windows ports.
And finally stop adb.exe from windows task manager and wait some seconds to restart automatically.
