I'm currently facing problems trying to get my android device to connect to Eclipse in order for me to push files into the folders as well as push apk files into my device. I've recently just downloaded Samsung Kies and have tried until now i still cant see my device in the ddms page under the devices view. All i can see right now is only my emulator. Any Suggestions? the device i'm using is samsung galaxy s2 i1900G. Hope u guys can help me out.
The main problems I face when I try to connect a new phone with USB debugging connection is that :
* USB debugging isn't activated.
* The OS on any phones except the Nexus phones are Android with modifications. Samsung and a lot of other brands modify android to get in their own bloatware and own system updates.
I had a sony xperia z1 that did not connect with USB debugging untill I went from android 4 to android 5.1.1
There is a question where someone had a similar problem and solved it: https://stackoverflow.com/a/38171690/6296561

I am working at an android studio project and I always work with my own physical device SAMSUNG S7. It always worked (for a few weeks now) but today suddenly from one moment to the other my device cant be recognized by android studio anymore. I didnt change any settings! I just changed a line in the code (like a hundred times before) and after it my device is not shown in the list of devices. There is only the virtual device which is useless for me because it never displays the app correctly. Just my physical device shows the app correctly so now I need help. Otherwise I cannot continue programming.
I tried to reopen android studio and restart my phone but it didnt help.
Changing the cable plug mode (credits to Hack06)
Just swipe down the OS status bar, and tap on the device, then choose another connection mode.
Installing Samsung's development drivers
When this doesn't work, try installing the drivers provided by Samsung to improve developments. These can be found here.
USB Debugging
USB debugging may have failed. Or all of the developer settings have been reset. Try that
Reboot your phone into ODIN mode
Caution:
ODIN mode is in charge for flashing your Android phone, and if you’re not careful, you can cause permanent damage to your phone.
This solution applies only to Samsung’s devices, since they are the only devices with access to ODIN mode.
A guide how to access ODIN mode for your phone can be found here.
Install KIES software
If nothing worked till here you might want to download KIES software.
KIES software only works for Samsung’s devices.
Samsung KIES is part of Samsung Smart Switch.
Download here.
Google - Android USB Driver
My last suggestion would be to install Google's Android USB drivers. An official guide can be found here.
This may sound obvious..
but sometimes it could be a cable issue
even if it's charging it could not transfer data
try a new cable
I've made all the steps to become a developer on the cellphone, and also enabled what is necessary.
I also have already used this samsung galaxy to debug on another computer, and worked just fine.
However my Mac (10.7 El Capitan) does not even recognize my cellphone when I plug on the USB.
So, I've looked for in a lot of sites to install the necessary drivers for the usb port. However, all of them recommend to install SmartSwitch or Kies3, which I've also downloaded.
But, both need the cellphone connected on the computer to install all the drivers I need. But, I can't even make my Mac recognize my samsung S6 edge.
Does anyone had also the same problem? What should I do to make this work? Debugging using the emulator does not solve my problem! I need to debug on the real device.
Do not to use the fast charge cord for this purpose. Buy another android cord to debug
The problem
I'm trying to do some debugging on my ionic app and I have a Moto Maxx (international version of the Droid Turbo). Problem is, the device is detected, but my application is not listed on chrome://inspect, as you can see on the screenshot below.
P.S.: Other devices show my app just fine. And the problem also happened with other motorola devices.
What have I done so far
Enabled USB debugging. (And adb see the phone just fine).
The device is well connected, tested with other cables.
Discover USB devices is checked on chrome://inspect.
Tried to close and open the app before and after USB connection.
So, am I doing something wrong?
You should change to USB Mode to MTP or PTP(Linux) from Charge Only for it to work
You should install the device's driver. I had also issue but with Samsung.
I'm trying to connect my samsung galaxy s6 to my macbook pro to run my apps from android studio; however, when I connect my phone to my mac via the usb cable that came with the phone, i get a notification on my phone that it is charging but my macbook and android studio do not detect it.
I have usb debugging on.
Kies and filetransfer don't work.
I cant see the directory in finder even though I have show external disks and hard disks checked.
My phone and mac are both running the latest versions of android and OSX.
Turns out that the cord provided by samsung is with mac computers due to OEM compatibility issues. Using a different cord with correct OEM data transfer compatibility will fix the issue.
I solve it by using android file transfer. Download it from android official website https://www.android.com/filetransfer/
Install it on Macbook Pro and connect your phone with cable and ROCK!
Try PdaNet, it can help you find your device's driver version and match with your device.
I'm also having this issue. I've got an s6 edge and a new macbook retina pro; so it's definitely not an issue of "old mac" to new samsung.
Edit: Fixed it by chatting with samsung.
From your phone dial *#0808# then check the MTP option to enabled. Hit reboot.
Also make sure to install smart switch on your computer, available at http://www.samsung.com/ca/support/smartswitch/
When the smartswitch window appears, hit the drop down menu, and then click the blue folder icon. That should do it.
I tried with another USB cable and it worked. Its the problem with defult USB cable coming along with mobile.
I was facing the issue with Samsung Note-8. My macbook pro was not detecting my phone. So, i just tried with another cable and it worked. there is no need to download samsun
I've got a Samsung Galaxy S2 and am taking an android development class. For the past two months, I've been using the emulator to run the activity.
Recently, I've been trying to get it connected to my device. Now, the drivers are installed on my computer as I can see the device (and view the files) through "My Computer" (Windows 7 Professional). However, using something like
adb devices
does not show the device, nor through the app launcher in eclipse (when choosing between a virtual device or connected one).
Any help on trying to get it recognized by adb?
Some misc. things:
the model is SPH-D710
I've enabled USB debugging from the phone
OP here, through some help on #android (on freenode), I was able to get this fixed.
The steps I took were,
Remove all pre-existing drivers
I installed a universal driver linked by: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1514942
And it worked after that.
