I need an android phone to test my apps with that will work with Eclipse. It has to be low cost, run Gingerbread with modest memory and CPU.
Thinking that any android phone would work I recently purchased a Virgin Mobil Chaser but as it turns out, it cannot be seen by either Eclipse or adb (but device manager does see the phone). Another developer has also had the same identical problem with the Chaser.
I could keep buying phones and see if they work but that could be long and frustrating. I hope to find a "no contract" phone.
Is there any list of phones that work with Eclipse. Does anyone know of any other Virgin Mobil phones that will work?
thanks, Gary
Any android phone should work. And it is not Eclipse you need it to be compatible with. You need ADB drivers for the device so ADT tools can communicate with device. So what you need is to install ADB drivers for your phone and then, once installed, you should be able to see your device once you enable USB debugging on the device. Then ADB should be able to see it (either in Eclipse plugin or via command line adb devices).
EDIT if you are on Windows, then enabling USB Debugging on the device and connecting it to the computer should result in Windows asking for ADB drivers. You may try if "stock" (these available with SDK in <SDK>\extras\google\usb_driver) are suitable. If not, check manufacturer website (for HTC you may need to install HTC Sync) and if this fail, just google for your device name along with "ADB drivers" and you should get something usable shortly.
One correct answer to my question is: the LG Optimus Elite works fine as a test phone. Drivers installed immediately. Also, it's less than $100 with no contract.
I still haven't found anyone who has gotten the PCD Chaser to work.

I have 2 computers, and both have Android Studio (I installed it yesterday), but only one of them sees my phone. ADB devices also doesn't see it. The developer mode is enabled, SDK is installed, google usb driver is installed, enabling PTP didn't help.
What can I do?

I assume that you are working on Windows. What had helped me once was to install Adb drivers from Intel website. You can follow this tutorial
what device are you using? it totally depends on what device you are using, different devices use different drivers to connect and communicate with your computer here is the official OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) list of drivers:
https://developer.android.com/studio/run/oem-usb
If you are on a Windows machine here is a list of useful scripts that might also help:

Cheers and happy learning.
Download pdaNet software in pc install it and then try.
https://adb.clockworkmod.com/
Try this.
Also you may run task manager and kill adb.exe.
First check whether your phone is showing "Usb debugging connected" in notification bar? If it is upgraded to android 7.0, it will show an "N" in the notification bar with details as i mentioned earlier. This message means that your phone is in debugging mode. If its charging and not showing any such notification in bar, that means your data cable is the problem.Connecting phone in mtp will not help at all.
You can do a quick and dirty fix by pushing the port a little bit up with a toothpick or something (i tried and trust me it works). But that can cause a bit of damage. So I will recommend buying a new data cable. This is the only thing that comes to my mind as you mentioned that developer options are enabled and usb debugging is turned on in developer options right?
I want to run my own android application and sample application on my android intex x1 phone android version 2.3 a low budget phone. I connect my phone with laptop it said driver failed may be my mobile drivers.
But I have other drivers like tethering and storage(because my phone is connected).
can any one tell me what drivers i need. i don't know what are OEM drivers 0r ADB drivers.
i am finding the solution from last two days. but could not downloaded\find any working drivers. I am using window 7 and on eclipse AVD if working normally. I getting solutions like how to root your mobile etc.
I want to run application on my android phone. Please direct me some steps. I think their are no drivers available.
Is their any other solution like universal ADB drivers or like that.
Is http://pdanet.co/bin/PdaNetA4150.exe a solution in my case?
use universal drivers that connect to any device. download your drivers from intexmobile.in.
or use software like mobogenie or pdanet+.
Are there any alternative ways to get it to work?
Even the adb command of android sdk doesn't detect my phone. Then some said I need to install the phone drivers first, I thought the phone automatically does it when plugged in while usb debugging is enabled, but it appears that it doesn't.
I searched for the driver, but was unlucky, it was not included in the memstick that came with the phone. Even the lenovo website doesn't provide it.
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:

Any ideas where I can begin to find out what's going wrong?
I have a T-Mobile Pulse Mini (Huawei) which I'd like to get working for developing and testing apps on. I can't get it to be seen by Android Debug Bridge despite restarting the adb server. (and emulators are seen by adb any way so that's unlikely to be the problem).
In the device manager the phone is displayed as a CD-ROM and when I select 'transfer files' from the auto 'PcOptions.exe' it is then displayed as a USB driver but in either case I can't see it in adb. I have enabled debugging on the phone. I remember it took me ages to get it to work on my previous Vista 32-bit. I can't figure out where to search from here. The drivers used to install the phone are on the phone itself.
Thanks very much.
Drivers. If you can't see the phone in ADB, it's almost always a driver issue and this is especially common on Windows. The regular user drivers are sometimes different from the ADB drivers. If you can find the OEM dev drivers directly that's ideal, otherwise there's a way to modify the INF file which you'll have to Google for unless someone else provides it, as I don't remember the details at the moment.
