"List of devices attached" is empty on Ubuntu 12.04

I am unable connect my Android to Ubuntu. I have added rule to udev, I have added device to adb_usb.ini and I'm still getting same empty list.
My lsusb:

And I have usb debugging on. Is there anything else that I can try?
EDIT
I have tried to restart adb-server with adb kill-server and adb start-server, but it also doesn't help me.

I tried a lot of advices to be my Android device visible by "adb devices" command but none worked.
And finally I found.
Just add your Android device vendor ID (like 0x1f3a) to
~/.android/adb_usb.ini
and then try other advices.

It turned out that I did not have the necessary phone drivers
For LG G3 (maybe others)
We had to go to the USB options when connecting
Allow installation of applications from the phone
Waiting for installation
Select the PTP (Send images mode)

For those who are having intermittent problems with adb. Here's a simple procedure you can use to rectify the issue.
Keep the device connected.
run
sudo adb kill-server
then go into your mobile device and
revoke all usb authorizations in your android developer section in settings on your mobile device.
Next turn debugging off and then on again after 10 secs or so.
You will get a pop up for authorization in your device.
Select yes to it on the device and then run the following in terminal
sudo adb devices -l
Your device should be back in action.

It seems that problem is caused by my smartphone. I tried to plug in Android 4.3 and it works correctly.

Adding device in android rules file:
Use the following commands in Ubuntu:
How to get the device vendor id:
lsusb
Command for adding device rules, run the following commands:
sudo gedit /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules
sudo chmod a+r /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules

In my case After
adb kill-server
I did
sudo adb start-server
then
sudo adb devices
and got it worked!

Android Device doesn't appear online in Ubuntu 13.04

My device is a Pantech Flex (ATT carrier and rooted)
It will not show up in ADB device chooser
I have created a file /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules
I have created a file /etc/udev/rules.d/50-android.rules
I have created a file /etc/udev/rules.d/70-android.rules
I have edited the file ~/.android/adb_usb.ini
I am running eclipse ADT. I am using ubuntu 13.04
The contents for each of the files are identical (idVendor 10a9 for Pantech):
# ANDROID 3RD PARTY USB VENDOR ID LIST -- DO NOT EDIT.
# USE 'android update adb' TO GENERATE.
# 1 USB VENDOR ID PER LINE.
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="0bb4", MODE="0666", GROUP="plugdev"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="0b05", MODE="0666", GROUP="plugdev"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="18d1", MODE="0666", GROUP="plugdev"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="10a9", MODE="0666", GROUP="plugdev"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="04e8", MODE="0666", GROUP="plugdev"

Turns out that one of those files fixed the problem after a reboot.
No harm in having all of these files if you arnt sure which one your system needs. Its ugly but it works:
/etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules
/etc/udev/rules.d/50-android.rules
/etc/udev/rules.d/70-android.rules
~/.android/adb_usb.ini

Android Device doesn't appear online in Ubuntu 12.04

I just updated my ubuntu 11.10 to 12.04 and getting this problem, my android device does not appear online while I run android project from eclipse.I've attached a screenshot. I also put file in /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules.
the content of 51-android.rules file is
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="0bb4", MODE="0666"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device", SYSFS{idVendor}=="0bb4", MODE="0666"
screenshot is

SYSFS was deprecated in the recent versions of udev.
Your file should only have lines like this:
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="0bb4", MODE="0666", GROUP="plugdev"
where 0bb4 is the vendor id.
You can get the vendor id for your phone through the terminal. Run 'lsusb' on the commmand line and find the line with your device.
For example, on my case:
Bus 004 Device 004: ID 18d1:4e22 Google Inc. Nexus S (debug)
So the vender id is 18d1.
And the above line becomes:
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="18d1", MODE="0666", GROUP="plugdev"

Debugging on Android hardware not in OEM list

I've got a PendoPad Android device that's not on the OEM list that I want to debug an app on. I've taken the time to read the Android development site, but my device isn't listed on the OEM list.
I've got Eclipse on Windows 7 installed, and I've run my application on an emulator.
I run the adb.exe devices, and though I can see my "phone" and its files in Windows Explorer, the adb list is empty.
Has anyone encountered and surmounted this issue?

I encountered this with an Archos device.
You need to add device ID into list of ADB supported devices.
The file to modify is this: %USERPROFILE%.android\adb_usb.ini
Here's Archos advice about this.
Now you just need to determine your device's vendor ID. And this seems to be written in Device manager, when you click details of your Android device, Details tab, Hardware Ids property. There's something like USB\VID_0E79&PID_1411&REV_0216&MI_01, where 0E79 is vendor id of Archos.
Find our your ID and append it to the adb_usb.ini file. Restart adb and it should work.
Hope this helps.

On Linux:
Write lsusb
Sample output for Nexus4:
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 8087:8000 Intel Corp.
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 8087:8008 Intel Corp.
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub

Bus 003 Device 002: ID 046d:c52f Logitech, Inc. Unifying Receiver
Bus 003 Device 007: ID 18d1:XXXX Google Inc. Nexus 4 (debug) <------ 18d1 here it is!
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Not listed OEM device aka tablet no_name:
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 8087:8000 Intel Corp.
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 8087:8008 Intel Corp.
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub
Bus 003 Device 002: ID 046d:c52f Logitech, Inc. Unifying Receiver
Bus 003 Device 008: ID 2207:0010 <------------------------------ here it is 2207
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
So next you should edit /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules as they say here
So in my example i must add something like this:
#FunTab8
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="2207", MODE="0666", GROUP="plugdev"
For me it works now ADB after using adb devices
List of devices attached

Problem to run my application on a real device

I am developing android application under Linux Ubuntu 10.04, with Eclipse IDE.
I successfully managed to run my application through eclipse virtual device emulator (target android2.1-update1).
Then, I followed the tutorial to run my application on a ZTE tablet device through eclipse. I followed every step of the tutorial.
My rules file is located under /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules, with content:
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="19D2", MODE="0666"
The vendor ID of ZTE is 19D2.
I also enabled USB debugging both on the ZTE device and in my application's manifest file.
When I run the application in Eclipse, there is a "Android Device chooser" window popped up, which shows a device with:
serial number: "?????????????"
AVD name: N/A
target : Unknown
Debug:
Why eclipse can not recognize the ZTE tablet device correctly??
What could be the possible reason?
(I also tried to reboot my linux machine, but nothing changed)
State: ??

Change the line to SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="19D2", MODE="0666"

Try changing your /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules to:
SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="19D2", OWNER="user", GROUP="group"
where user is the username of the account you develop under; and group is the group of the account you developer under.

??? symbols means that device is either offline or adb has not wright permission to access the device.Inorder to change the permission we need to update /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules file in the following way.
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="1782" ,MODE="0666"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0bb4", MODE="0666"
