Answer 1

The communication with the emulator or your Android device might have problems. This communication is handled by the Android Debug Bridge (adb).

Eclipse allows you to reset the adb in case this causes problems. Select therefore the DDMS perspective via Window → Open Perspective → Other... → DDMS

To restart the adb, select the "Reset adb" in the Device View.

Answer 2

After doing all steps like enable debug, ... I had to put a sim card and reboot the phone

Answer 3

I had a similar problem with my Nexus 4(Android version 4.4.2), it wasn't listed in adb devices.

Make sure USB debugging is enabled from device, and do the following on your PC:

1. Update Android SDK (Google USB Driver)

2. From PC Control Panel, System -> Device manager -> Right click Nexus 4 -> Update driver.

3. Set android-sdk-folder\extras\google\usb_driver as path to search, include subfolders checked.

If windows tells you that the driver is up to date, just uninstall the driver (right click on nexu4 -> uninstall driver) and start from step 2 again.

After that, open a cmd and type adb kill-server and then a adb devices, now it will include your device.

Answer 4

Try executing :

sudo ./adb kill-server

sudo ./adb start-server

sudo ./adb devices

Answer 5

In my case:

• The phone was connected as a media device.
• Clicked on that message and got a menu. "USB computer connection"
• In that menu chose to connect it as a camera (for devices that do not support MTP)

And then it worked.

Answer 6

Oh boy, I spent 3 hours for this simple thing and tried combination of above instructions.If it doesnt work for you, just try several combinations of above instructions and it will. I am on windows 7 and nexus 5. Issue I had was when I try to install driver from the google usb folder, windows 7 fails to install. Here are my steps:

-first uninstall all nexus drivers on windows 7. connect with USB cable, go to device manager and uninstall the driver; unplug the cable and repeat until no drivers are found and nexus shows up under "other devices" in device manager. I also configured nexus device as camera (PTP)

-follow @Dharani Kumar instructions. They make appropriate configuration changes for nexus device

-follow @Harshit Rathi instructions. They will ensure eclipse can show the device when windows detects the device

-unplug and replug the USB cable after a minute. Now you should see a pop up on nexus device. click it so that windows 7 will allow installing the driver from your local system. if you dont see this, restart your device or pc

-follow @Rick's instructions.you can download USB driver as listed by @jimbob

If you still have a problem, re read this entire thread and go from there (I spent hours on other web sites; those bits and pieces didnt help)
