I'm trying to connect my samsung galaxy s6 to my macbook pro to run my apps from android studio; however, when I connect my phone to my mac via the usb cable that came with the phone, i get a notification on my phone that it is charging but my macbook and android studio do not detect it.
I have usb debugging on.
Kies and filetransfer don't work.
I cant see the directory in finder even though I have show external disks and hard disks checked.
My phone and mac are both running the latest versions of android and OSX.
Turns out that the cord provided by samsung is with mac computers due to OEM compatibility issues. Using a different cord with correct OEM data transfer compatibility will fix the issue.
I solve it by using android file transfer. Download it from android official website https://www.android.com/filetransfer/
Install it on Macbook Pro and connect your phone with cable and ROCK!
Try PdaNet, it can help you find your device's driver version and match with your device.
I'm also having this issue. I've got an s6 edge and a new macbook retina pro; so it's definitely not an issue of "old mac" to new samsung.
Edit: Fixed it by chatting with samsung.
From your phone dial *#0808# then check the MTP option to enabled. Hit reboot.
Also make sure to install smart switch on your computer, available at http://www.samsung.com/ca/support/smartswitch/
When the smartswitch window appears, hit the drop down menu, and then click the blue folder icon. That should do it.
I tried with another USB cable and it worked. Its the problem with defult USB cable coming along with mobile.
I was facing the issue with Samsung Note-8. My macbook pro was not detecting my phone. So, i just tried with another cable and it worked. there is no need to download samsun

I am working at an android studio project and I always work with my own physical device SAMSUNG S7. It always worked (for a few weeks now) but today suddenly from one moment to the other my device cant be recognized by android studio anymore. I didnt change any settings! I just changed a line in the code (like a hundred times before) and after it my device is not shown in the list of devices. There is only the virtual device which is useless for me because it never displays the app correctly. Just my physical device shows the app correctly so now I need help. Otherwise I cannot continue programming.
I tried to reopen android studio and restart my phone but it didnt help.
Changing the cable plug mode (credits to Hack06)
Just swipe down the OS status bar, and tap on the device, then choose another connection mode.
Installing Samsung's development drivers
When this doesn't work, try installing the drivers provided by Samsung to improve developments. These can be found here.
USB Debugging
USB debugging may have failed. Or all of the developer settings have been reset. Try that
Reboot your phone into ODIN mode
Caution:
ODIN mode is in charge for flashing your Android phone, and if you’re not careful, you can cause permanent damage to your phone.
This solution applies only to Samsung’s devices, since they are the only devices with access to ODIN mode.
A guide how to access ODIN mode for your phone can be found here.
Install KIES software
If nothing worked till here you might want to download KIES software.
KIES software only works for Samsung’s devices.
Samsung KIES is part of Samsung Smart Switch.
Download here.
Google - Android USB Driver
My last suggestion would be to install Google's Android USB drivers. An official guide can be found here.
This may sound obvious..
but sometimes it could be a cable issue
even if it's charging it could not transfer data
try a new cable
I've made all the steps to become a developer on the cellphone, and also enabled what is necessary.
I also have already used this samsung galaxy to debug on another computer, and worked just fine.
However my Mac (10.7 El Capitan) does not even recognize my cellphone when I plug on the USB.
So, I've looked for in a lot of sites to install the necessary drivers for the usb port. However, all of them recommend to install SmartSwitch or Kies3, which I've also downloaded.
But, both need the cellphone connected on the computer to install all the drivers I need. But, I can't even make my Mac recognize my samsung S6 edge.
Does anyone had also the same problem? What should I do to make this work? Debugging using the emulator does not solve my problem! I need to debug on the real device.
Do not to use the fast charge cord for this purpose. Buy another android cord to debug
I have samsung galaxy note 10.1 and model GT-N8000, I want to connect it to android studio and want to run my own made app. But my android studio not showing anything and even pc do not detect it , not even popping up notification to show me that some thing is connected. I check this device to other computers but got same thing.
So what could be a problem. I have done resetting , but nothing is helpful, Updated driver, installed the google driver for usb, installed the universal driver. But nothing is really helping. So at least pc should detect it but its not.
Any solution. ? Please help
Make sure, that you chose Connect as Camera or PTP on your phone.
Go to developer settings and activate Adb-debugging or USB-debugging.
Also check, whether you have installed the correct drivers. Try to reinstall the correct drivers.
And make sure that neither your USB cable nor your USB-drive is faulty. If so try to use another cable and different usb-drive.
You could also try to connect your phone wirelessly to Android Studio
Couple of things you can try -
Go to settings, developer options and turn USB Debugging on. If it's off, Android Studio will not detect your phone.
If you PC is not detecting your device, either your USB cable is faulty or your USB drive. Only way to know is connect your phone to another USB-Drive or connect it using another cable.
I've got a Samsung Galaxy S2 and am taking an android development class. For the past two months, I've been using the emulator to run the activity.
Recently, I've been trying to get it connected to my device. Now, the drivers are installed on my computer as I can see the device (and view the files) through "My Computer" (Windows 7 Professional). However, using something like
adb devices
does not show the device, nor through the app launcher in eclipse (when choosing between a virtual device or connected one).
Any help on trying to get it recognized by adb?
Some misc. things:
the model is SPH-D710
I've enabled USB debugging from the phone
OP here, through some help on #android (on freenode), I was able to get this fixed.
The steps I took were,
Remove all pre-existing drivers
I installed a universal driver linked by: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1514942
And it worked after that.
Thanks davieslacker
Picked up my S3 on launch and want to get started learning to develop for android using Eclipse. So far I'm having fun!
However, I want to be able to debug my application on the phone hardware itself and not just in an AVD. My problem is that I cannot find appropriate USB device drivers. The Samsung support site is garbage and windows update told me 'where to go'.
Has anyone got this working yet? If so, how?
For those still looking, you don't need to install the bloat. Go to:
http://www.samsung.com/us/support/owners/product/SCH-I535RWBVZW
Click on or scroll to "Manuals & Downloads" and then USB (Driver) is available under "Downloads".
Direct download link: Samsung USB Driver - 1.5.45.00
Turns out you have to install Samsung Kies to get the USB driver. Similar to the iPhone. I wanted to avoid this unnecessary bloat (i plugged my phone in and it threw a WPF exception...) and thankfully you can uninstall Kies without uninstalling the driver. Result.
After that, ADB is able to see the phone with no problem at all and I can debug on the device perfectly.
you need the usb driver for it. Once you have that installed simply connect the phone via usb to your machine, start eclipse and adb will pick up the device given that the drivers installed properly. try this link, one of these will probably have the driver. Samsung Galaxy S3 downloads
Can be downloaded on the following link

There's no need for KIES or other bloat!!
There's a very useful toolkit that does much more then kies, and it's available here:
