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:

I know this question has been asked numerous times, but none of the threads have had an answer to solve my problem. It seems no matter what i try Eclipse just wont detect my phone, I have set it to debug mode in the settings, i've installed "Kies 3" on my laptop and it says i have the latest drivers already installed on my phone when i try to update it.
I've installed the google USB driver package from the sdk manager and have downloaded and installed the samsung driver from the samsung website. Windows recognizes the device and in the device manager under android phone it appears as "SAMSUNG android ADB Inerface".
Im running windows 7 and have even tried deleting all the mounted dive drivers from regedit as i seen suggested in another thread but still no joy! Really starting to get frustrated with this at this stage i've been trying for two days now to figure this out!
This is such a pain! I need to be able to debug on my phone too as i'm using features that the emulator can't handle (i.e. audio recording). I'm all out of ideas here so any help would really be appreciated!
Thanks
The method I followed to install my GT-I9300 drivers was this:
Download samsung drivers from this link:
http://developer.samsung.com/android/tools-sdks/Samsung-Andorid-USB-Driver-for-Windows
Then just connect your phone and make sure you have a stable Internet connection: It will download required drivers automatically.
Also, make sure you have enabled Android developer options in your phone settings. Enable USB debugging in developer options.
I usually get it to work, when I switch the USB mode in my smartphone (e.g. MTP to PTP). This way, windows starts downloading more drivers.
1) Try disconnecting device from PC, revoke USB Debug authorization from settings menu, and then re-authorize the computer you are working on once you connect it again.
2) Check to see if you see the phone in DDMS perspective (left hand side) - if so, try clicking on it and it should work.
3) try removing all drivers (Google, Samsung etc.) + scan "leftover" registery entries using a reg cleaning program. Then install ONLY Kies Light version and try again.
4) It once worked for me - try changing the USB cable (preferably, to an original one)
Let us know if something worked!
1) enable USB debugging in your phone's settings.
2) ensure that you have the proper drivers installed.
3) open adb in command prompt and run "adb connect"
Has anyone tried developing application using Lenovo K900, I am writing application for my phone (Android 4.2.2) but its not getting detected by eclipse.
Please help
I found a couple of drivers and the combination seems to do the trick.
I installed the drivers from this post to see the device as a CloverViewPlus device
https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2918390/+940# (Post #943)
The IntelAndroidDrvSetup1.2.0.exe and iSocUSB-Driver-Setup-1.0.2.exe were needed.
Then I installed the drivers from this post to get Eclipse to recognize the device:
http://singledrivers.blogspot.com/2013/12/lenovo-k900-usb-driver-for-windows.html
It seems that you do not need the MTK driver.
You do seem to need the PDANet Driver.
The ADB driver did not seem to hurt either.
Now Eclipse can see my K900 and download code to it.
Only enabling USB Debugging will not help solve your issue.
You need to install certain drivers in order to make your cell phone visible while running the application.
For now, even I am searching the perfect drivers to install in my system. Will get back to you once I have them. Also, I request you to search as well and revert in case you find success in the same.
I developed an android application and tested on Samsung mobile phone. then i tried to run that application on asus tablet. but it couldn't install the USB drivers correctly.
Can anyone helped me to run this application on asus tablet?
There are various method, one of them, You may be try this:
The simplest way to enable USB Debugging. Download ADB Toggle from Google Play. and enable it.
I have an ASUS tablet as well, and the drivers installed without a hitch for me. You could try to manually install the USB drivers: http://support.asus.com/download/options.aspx?SLanguage=en Hope that helps, if not, come on back.
I'm trying to use my HTC Desire as a test phone for my Android application, but Eclipse just can't see it, now If i go to device manager there is a yellow !, i click uninstall, re-connect my HTC phone to the computer and it can not install the drivers, can anyone help me fix this problem? I really need to be able to use my HTC phone as a test device.

I always had the same trouble with HTC phones and some Samsung phones as well even when using the official driver.
I found if you install PDANet http://pdanet.co/ this installs the driver for you and it always seems to work. You don't actually need the software afterwards and can be uninstalled, but it successfully installs the driver and device is detected.
Installing HTC Sync Manager on Windows 8.1 resolved my problems with HTC Desire 600.You can download it from here:
http://www.htc.com/www/support/software/htc-sync-manager.aspx
Details brought from here:
http://grindheadgames.com/htc-desire-showing-adb-devices-fix/
Important Note: I also noticed there is a checkbox in USB Settings called 'HTC Sync Manager'. You should check it to enable 'USB Debugging'. Otherwise although you have enabled usb debugging in 'application development' section, USB Debugging will not work.
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.
