Answer 1

I had this problem after upgrading from Android Studio 2.3 to 3.0. As simple as it sounds, I actually just restarted my phone to fix it.

My guess is that the adb server on the phone somehow cached something from the previous installation of android studio, maybe a connection object or something, and by restarting the adb server it resolved the issue.

I hope this helps someone.
