I want to be able to run android apps I am developing in eclipse on my Samsung Galaxy S4. I followed the steps here... http://developer.android.com/tools/extras/oem-usb.html and when I get to this part...
Click Browse and locate the USB driver folder. (The Google USB Driver is located in \extras\google\usb_driver.)
I get the following error message...
The folder you specified does not contain compatible driver software for your devise.
If the folder contains a driver make sure it is designed to work with windows x64-based systems.
I am running 64bit Windows 7 on a Lenovo thinkpad. I recently installed the eclipse-ADK bundle.
you must just download samsung usb driver and instal it on device then restart adb and eclipse.
you can download samsung usb driver from below link
http://developer.samsung.com/android/tools-sdks/Samsung-Andorid-USB-Driver-for-Windows
good luck
The Google driver is for Google devices, like the Nexus.
Galaxy S4 is not a Google device, it's a Samsung device. Therefore, you must download the Samsung driver: http://developer.samsung.com/android/tools-

Please do your research next time :)

I have a web app that I need to tweak for Chrome on a tablet. I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab for testing. I'm trying to follow these famous instructions to use developer tools with Chrome for Android. I have downloaded and installed the Samsung USB driver from here, and it has sprayed 25 folders in C:\Program Files\SAMSUNG\USB Drivers. If there are further steps to identify and use the drivers in these folders, I haven't followed them.
My problem is that chrome:inspect is not finding my device. The device manager shows the device properly installed, but the driver tab says it's running a microsoft driver from 2006! All attempts to update the driver finish with "The best driver is already installed." I can browse the device in Windows explorer. What am I missing?
Chrome on my desktop: Version 36.0.1942.0 canary
Chrome on device: Version 34.0.1847.114
Galaxy Tab: GT-P7510
Android Version: 4.0.4
Thanks in advance :-)
For me (developing on windows 8, samsung S4 connected via USB ) chrome://inspect works, but only if I have adb running in the background. This was not mentioned in the documentation last time I checked.
Get android platform tools if you don't already have it. Then, from a command prompt in android-sdk/platform-tools > adb start-server.
You can do this as often as you like, and may need to do it every time you reconnect your phone, or wake your machine.
I can't run my android programs on my device, I followed all the steps in that link : No compatible targets were found... real device, eclipse
but I still couldn't find my device
I have a Samsung Galaxy S+ GT-I9001
Android version : 2.3.5
Target/min/max versions set on Eclipse 2.3.3(Ginger Bread)
I don't want to use a virtual device.
Help !!
Its likely one of two things.
Your debug mode isnt enabled on your phone, so eclipse will not recognise it.
Or your PC doesnt have the USB driver installed, so your PC does not recognise it.
Go to Settings -> Developer -> USB Debugging and enable it. (check its enabled).
Else, download the USB Drivers for your device.
I think these links are correct:
HTC
SAMSUNG
Else google your phone, and android USB Driver.
You might have problems with your USB drivers. Try to Install Samsung Kies from their website, USB drivers should be installed then.
I already restarted server in the console, and I installed all SDK tools packages.
It just doesn't detect the phone.
It says:
C:\Program Files <x86>\Android\plataform tools>adb devices
List of devices attached. (there's nothing here)
Oh, BTW, I'm using Windows 7 64 bit Premiun
UPDATE 1: Installing kies and the usb drivers from samsung. Thanks for the reccommendation
SuNnY_sYeD
UDATE 2: Finished installing and started running adb console and detected the device. Apparently, it detected SOMETHING at least, because now it says :
0123456789ABCDEF device.
Well step one is downloading the driver for your device which can be found here samsung.com/sg/support/model/… then see if adb is picking up your device
I think I had this same issue earlier today with my Nexus 7. I had to download a specific driver for it. Here is the website that should guide you in the right direction.
http://developer.android.com/tools/extras/oem-usb.html#InstallingDriver
There is also a special note for Galaxy devices on the site:
Note: If your device is one of the Android Developer Phones (ADP), a Nexus One, or a Nexus S, then you need the Google USB Driver, instead of an OEM driver. The Galaxy Nexus driver, however, is distributed by Samsung (listed as model SCH-I515).
Hopefully this helps.
Edit:
Also, if you are using a Google device on Windows, this page is where you might want to start.
http://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html
i tried everything. Checked USB debugging and allowed unknown sources. (Android 4.0.1)
When i connect galaxy nexus with the PC without USB debugging, it works.
When i connect galaxy nexus with the PC with USB debugging, it doesn't work.
I can start my app on windows.
I have Windows 7.
Thnx
in order to debug apps on the device, you need to install a USB driver first. although you may connect the device to PC as mass storage, you still need the driver for development. you can download it from the manufacturer Sumsung.
also,make sure you have installed the latest ADT plugin.
the samsung drivers have moved. this one fixed the issue for me

You need to download the USB Driver from Samsung: http://www.samsung.com/us/support/owners/product/SCH-I515MSAVZW#content2
If you want to install something that will avoid any future problem with every Samsung device, install Samsung Kies:

One confusion is that the Android docs mention the Galaxy Nexus One and Nexus S as needing the Google USB Driver. The Galaxy Nexus does not, it needs the Samsung one.
Instal OEM USB Drivers:
http://developer.android.com/tools/extras/oem-usb.html
For Google devices install Google USB driver:
http://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html
Here is where you get the drivers now: samsung
Generally speaking you have to search in the manufacturer's website as stated here
Unlike some others, my Android SDK setup went smoothly on my new Windows 7 Pro 64 bit machine. However, I am currently hung up on installing the android usb drivers. What is the current state of this issue? There has been some discussion of this problem on the web but no consensus is immediately apparent.
The Android USB driver page for Windows is very misleading, IMHO. It doesn't mention that it doesn't work for all Android devices. It turns out that for certain devices you need to go to the manufacturer's website for the USB drivers, NOT use the generic Android USB driver.
For example, in my case the generic Android USB driver would not work for my Sony Ericsson X10a. I forget the exact error message, but the Windows Device Manager would not recognize the driver software as being valid for the device. But after I downloaded the X10a USB driver from the Sony Ericsson developer website, the Windows Device Manager was happy with it. Then I was able to install my Android development apps on the device and debug via Eclipse/DDMS.
BTW, I too am using 64-bit Windows 7 (which is not the real source of the problem).
I had the same problem - with OEM drives and Android SDK drivers too. Finally what helped me was:
Device Manager - Update Drives Software - Browse my computer for driver software - Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer - Have Disk - Browse for file android_winusb.inf (in sdk folder) - Android ADB
Windows was not able to find drives in folder automatically :-/
I hope it helps to someone...
I tried all this solutions but nothing worked. Finally i found that i need to connect my device as camera and not as media device in phone under "USB PC Connection" in settings and i got it worked. But really it is a long struggle... :) For more details, see this link..

I hope this will help someone with the same problem.
Tried this driver from Intel (after checking all kind of drivers (asus, google, samsung kies etc).
https://software.intel.com/en-us/android/articles/intel-usb-driver-for-android-devices
and it worked like a charm (after unplugging and replugging the usb from my Nexus 7 and enabling MTP)
The Android Drivers Installation has download package and installation instruction.
If you have installed the driver and it doesn't load... you can try this :
In windows 7,
Go to Computer Management , then Device Manager
Locate your device...
Right-click, and Uninstall... (make sure your device is unplugged)
Then Reinstall it again. (run the driver setup)
This works for me.

Try the above link. its an Universal Android USB Driver. Worked on windows 7!
Long story short: downloaded DROID and HTC Hero USB drivers, installed them. Now its all good.
Softpedia's Galaxy S USB Driver worked on win7 x64 for me. Galaxy S Phones. Vibrant / Captivate
just install the oem android driver. pretty simple to do. unless if they dont have one you have to do it manually.
