I am developing an android app and am now ready to publish it to my device (HTC Desire). The only thing is I am using ubuntu and I am having trouble doing so. I have found some help on the internet regarding installing the drivers, only I need something called "adb devices", however in the latest android sdk it has been moved and now I can't find it. The SDK is up to date. Has anyone else had trouble getting linux to recognize their HTC device?
Cheers!
HTC devices work quite nicely under Linux, without any drivers whatsoever. I've used a HTC wildfire under ubuntu with no problems.
adb is an executable file. You can find it in the platform-tools subdirectory of the SDK. "devices" just a parameter to that command (adb devices lists all devices connected).

I have just started android native development and going good. However, I cannot test my android apps on my Infinix X506 (a.k.a Infinix Zero) as it is not found by ADB. I have the driver for the phone up to date on my computer and tried a number of manual installation options but Win7 keeps saying driver is already up to date.
I borrowed a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 from a friend and installed the driver and this worked at once. ADB found it and I can deploy apps to it.
Is there anyone that has used an Infinix phone for development like this or that can point to what I am missing.
Thanks for your help.
make a try with Universal ADB Driver

I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 that I would like to deploy my app to using eclipse. However the device simply does not appear on the list of devices to deploy to.
I am using Windows 7 64-bit.
The phone appears as a drive when plugged in, allowing me to transfer files to and from the device.
The phone has developer mode and USB debugging switched on.
In the Android SDK Manager, the Google USB Driver appears as installed.
I have manually installed the usb driver located at \extras\google\usb_driver\.
This same device has been recognised and deployed to on other computers.
I have tried restarting the adb server in command prompt using adb kill-server and then typing adb start-server.
I have tried restarting both the phone and the computer.
My deployment screen simply thinks there is no android device:
Any ideas? Is there perhaps something I am missing here that is required for my android device to be properly recognised by eclipse?
First, is your device id showing up when you use adb devices
If it is, it's just a matter of restarting eclipse. Another cause could be that you're using the Google USB driver, whereas you should be using Samsung's Android USB driver, which can be found here:

Get the drivers for your Galaxy S4 here:

P.S. ya better got Nexus 5
You should install Samsung KIES, that have included some USB Drivers and something more, then you will able the possibility to eclipse sdk recognize your Phone, i was with the same problem, after i installed KIES everything worked fine, trust me.

I have already installed the drivers. I can transfer files from my Tablet to the PC.
Debug Mode is on, but adb devices and eclipse are not finding it.
It's a chinese tablet (=/) running version 2.2.
My PC is a Windows 7.
Already tried restarting ADB, but it didn't work.
Anyone knows what should I do to make it work?
Are You sure You've installed the ADB drivers for Your device or just the general device drivers? If not, check out the "Naked drivers" package on xda-developers. There are most of the important drivers.
Does Your adb interface recognize Your device when You type
adb devices
?
Here's a really nice tutorial:

I've for some reason always had issues with ADB drivers, even when using the correct driver for the device, it says its installed but device manager says it can start for some reason. The way I've found to fix it which has always worked for me, not matter the device is to install pda Net on your PC. Its purpose is really to allow you to tether your device to your PC but it installs the ADB driver without issue.

I am trying to connect debugger to an Android phone (HTC myTouch 4G Android 2.3) from a Windows 7 64-bit pc.
Interestingly enough, everything worked fine for a few months until about a week ago Windows just started using a default Android driver instead of the HTC driver with ADB support.
I tried instructions from here: Installing the Android USB driver - not happening
but it does not work. I tried restarting, re-installing drivers, restoring to an earlier point, nothing helps.
Under "Devices and Printers" my phone appears as a generic "Android Phone". When I try to update the driver and browse to C:\Program Files (x86)\HTC\HTC Driver\Driver Files\Win7_x64 where HTC driver is installed I get the following message:
"Windows has determined the driver software for your device is up to date".
WPD FileSystem Volume Driver.
USB debugging is obviously enabled on the phone. The next step is to re-install Windows, but I want to avoid it and plus there is no guarantee that it will even work.
Do you have any suggestions?
Windows is a monolithic mess
Try a few of these, if you're lucky a magic pixie will come and nudge your driver thus fixing it.
1. Uninstall Reinstall
Uninstall the generic driver from device manager probably.
Reinstall HTC drivers
2. Uninstall clean reinstall
Uninstall the generic driver from device manager probably.
Clean the registry and other stuff using CCleaner (I trust this app)
Reinstall HTC drivers
Longshot
Upgrade to Win8 and do a refresh system.
It just started working for no apparent reason.
Thank you so much for your suggestions, but I really don't know what (if anything) out of the things I tried worked.
Download and install HTC Sync Manager from HTC:

This will install the needed drivers on your computer. Let us know if it works.
I'm trying to test an Android Application on my Galaxy Nexus (from Google). I use Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit and Eclipse Java EE IDE for Web Developers.
My device doesn't show in Eclipse DDMS view. My device also doesn't show when I run adb devices in cmd.
I have USB debugging enabled.
When I try to install the USB driver as shown here I get a message that my device software is up to date.
I also tried killing the adb server and starting it again.
Give the Universal Naked Driver a try? Be sure to follow the steps in the forum post.
Nexus devices require the Google USB Drivers, you can get them through the SDK Manager.
If you have them installed and the device still is not detected try the following:
Use a different USB port (for me the USB 3.0 port is always making problems)
Restart the device and the computer
Restart ADB
Also take a look here, which explains how to install drivers for the Nexus S.
I had a similar problem. I could not get my device to show up in my Eclipse devices window. When I typed adb devices, no devices were discovered. Fortunately, I discovered this website. It basically had me install a generic driver for my Motorola (Android 2). It had other drivers for Samsung and other manufacturers. After the install, my Motorola phone became visible with ADB.
