Chrome remote debug Samsung Galaxy s4 - android

I tried to use the remote debugging tool of Google Chrome for my Samsung Galaxy S4 (https://developers.google.com/chrome-developer-tools/docs/remote-debugging?hl=nl). But my Chrome does not found my device after i used about:inspect. The list stays empty.
I already install the newest driver on my computer and both devices running Chrome version 32. On my phone the USB debugging checkbox is checked.
Does someone know what i can do to view my phone trough Chrome debugging?

Do you have ADT (Android Development Toolkit) installed? If so, you may have to restart the ADB server. Follow these steps: (from this answer).
Open a command prompt (Win+R, "cmd.exe", Enter)
Go to the platform-tools directory of your locally installed ADT. In my case:
cd /d D:\apps\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20131030\sdk\platform-tools
Restart the ADT server by running the following commands:
adb.exe kill-server
adb.exe start-server
Now observe that your tablet will ask for remote debugging permission (by checking a fingerprint) upon connection.
The device should now be found if you open chrome://inspect.

workaround if you don't have ADT (Android Development Toolkit) installed:
Managed to detect android based Samsung Galaxy phone after downloading andorid SDK platform-tools.zip and running the following command: "adb devices".
It started some deamon, found attached device, and I was also able to see it in chrome canary inspect tab.
previously I also installed "Universal ADB driver" but not sure if this was required

I stumbled over this exact problem. The solution above work's like a charm for me.
But I'm lazy as hell, so I created a .bat file:
#ECHO OFF
cmd.exe /K "cd C:\Users\YOUR_USERNAME\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\platform-tools && C: & adb.exe kill-server & adb.exe start-server"
The directory depends on your installation of your ADT.
Save as killstart_adb.bat and run this.
Works for me.

Why isn't my genymotion device listed when I run "adb devices"

I am starting my first android project using nativescript.
I want to run my project with genymotion.
In genymotion GUI settings/ADB I am using custom Android SDK tools and genymotion tells me the android SDK tools are found. Also the VirtualBox path is valid, and when I renamed the device the VirtualBox name and Genymotion name both changed. The Virtualbox VM is powered down.
I start genymotion and get the emulator open with a black screen. I then run:
tns run android
per the nativescript docs
I get as output:
Cannot find connected devices. Reconnect any connected devices, verify that your system recognizes them, and run this command again.
I then tried running:
adb devices
and got an empty list so it seems my device is not being recognized, I just don't know why.
I have also tried running:
tns run android --emulator --geny nameOfDevice
This starts the emulator but again just a blank screen. So I guess nativescript knows about the device but adb doesnt?
Any help would be greatly appreciated and apologies in advance if I am missing some obvious android issue.
You should also make sure that your GenyMotion is using the right SDK.
Go to: >> Settings >> ADB
And choose Use custom Android SDK Tools
If the SDk path is found it will be marked with
Android SDK Tools successfully found!
Do not open genymotion before adb initialisation.
Start adb server first
by adb start-server
and then open genymotion to initialise emulator.
After that you should be able to see emulator in list of running devices through adb command. I ran into the same scenario where adb does not list emulators if genymotion is opened before adb initialisation. I hope it helps.
My working solution is:
cd /opt/genymobile/genymotion/tools
./adb devices
You have to use its own adb tool.

Can't see my device of chrome://inspect/#devices

I've followed the instructions at google: https://developer.chrome.com/devtools/docs/remote-debugging. I've also went over the troubleshooting section - but nothing seems to work.
I have samsung galaxy 3 (android 4.1.2, chrome 42.0.2311.111). USB debugging enabled. I've tried restarting the device after ticking the USB debugging a few times.
On windows 8 I run chrome (44.0.2388.0 canary). I've installed Samsung USB Driver, and my computer can see my device.
I do not get any notification when plugging the device nor when opening canary with the inspect page.
Did I miss anything?
Try these steps:
Download and install Android SDK
Open SDK Manager.exe
Select Android SDK Platform-tools and press Install packages...
Open a command prompt and execute these commands:
cd C:\Program Files(x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools (or C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\platform-tools)
adb.exe devices
You should receive a response like this:
List of devices attached
ABCDEFG123 device
If your device is listed check if Chrome detect the device, otherwise try to execute this command:
adb.exe kill-server
adb.exe start-server
adb.exe devices
Check again if Chrome detect the device.
If your device is not listed at all after executing adb devices command there is something wrong in your configuration (e.g. incorrect or missing drivers?)
Hope this helps somebody else...
This happened to me because I was trying to Chrome inspect a release build (Ionic; i.e. ionic build android --release). If I build a debug app (ionic build android), I am able to see the app from the chrome inspection tool without any issues.
Google play does not like debugable apps https://developer.android.com/studio/publish/index.html
which is needed for the inspection - see this SO link: debugging an ionic app for android platform hence proper releases won't appear in the Chrome inspection.
In my case the problem was solved changing the usb connection mode in the settings of the Android device to "Camera (PTP)" . For some reason the usb debbuging did not work when connection mode was set to MTP.
This looks like a bug in Chrome or in Android. This helped me: on your android device select USB connection settings (popup which is open on cable connect). It has MTP/PTP/charge modes. Switch between MTP/PTP and back.
Download and install Android SDK
Open SDK Manager.exe
Select Android SDK Platform-tools and press Install packages...
MTP -> PTP

Ecilpse won't recognize my device after upgrading to Kitkat (4.4.2)

I just upgraded my Android device to 4.4.2 and now Eclipse will not be able to choose a running Android device when I want to run my project. The Android Device Chooser shows my device up with a serial number as "????????????" and Target as "unknown" and State as "??". Additionally, I have enabled Developer Options with USB Debugging.
what os are you using. i see that on my linux box with some devices. i normally kill adb and restart it as root and the devices shows up and works correctly. found that solution years ago on stack overflow or something like that. not sure if the same thing is needed with windows/osx. on linux, assuming adb is in your path:
$ killall adb
$ sudo adb devices
otherwise os you're trying to connect it to and the specific device information would probably be helpful in tracking it down.
I have a few suggestions. Try them in this order until it works.
Reboot the phone.
Try turning off and then back on "USB Debugging" on your phone (in Developer Options probably).
open cmd > go to the your Android SDK directory > type cd platform-tools > type ./adb kill-server > then finally type ./adb start-server
References:
Eclipse - Target "unknown" in Android device chooser

The solution for my device after updating was to completely uninstall the device driver from device manager and reinstalling it. I am using windows and my mobile was shown as Android Phone and not as Nexus 7. Home it helps someone.

Adb can't find my device

I was developing an android application from Eclipse, connecting my Acer ICONIATAB A 500, with Android 3.0.1. And I did not have any problem.
Now I'm trying to developing the same application on Acer ICONIATAB A 501, with Android 3.2
and my ADB can't find the new device, while Windows can find it! I set in my tablet Debug USB option active, and I installed the appropriate driver on Windows.
I installed even the last Google USB driver (Rev. 7)
I tried to list the device find form adb with command
adb devices
from command line, but List of devices attached is empty.
What can i do?
execute these line
adb kill-server
adb start-server
if it is mobile device check that in settings, developers options , debugging mode is checked or not
You need to install LGUnitedMobileDriver package from the LG website, even though Windows 7 automatically installed USB drivers for the phone.
Try to update your Android-SDK on your computer (in Eclipse or whatever IDE you are using), this helped me solve a similar Problem.
