Question

When I try to \"run\" app via Android Studios, my Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 doesnt pop up in the list. However, it does show up in my PC file explorer.

Things I\'ve done;<

Answer 1

I solved a problem with connection of Xiaomi Redmi 4 Pro (I hope problem is common for Note 3 too) to Android Studio.

I did next steps:

1. First of all enable Developer Mode. I won't dublicate how to do it, as it was described here many times.
2. To solve problem with ADB Interface driver, I've installed Mi PC Suite - MiSetup3.2.1.3111_2717 (link to download)
3. As output from adb devices command still shown me empty list of connected devices, I tried to use original USB cabel which came with my phone instead of some Xiaomi's USB cabel bougth earlier, and it helps! Phone successfully connected to Android Studio and I installed my test apps!

Hope it will help you guys too.

MI Devices developer mode enable option is quite different. Please refer the below screenshots for the detailed understanding.

In the MI Devices developer mode options stays inside the Additional Setting

Answer 3

First, you have to make sure that you have DEVELOPER MODE on. To turn on,

1. Go to About phone
2. Tap the MIUI version until it shows the message that "You are now a developer."
3. When successful, you can now access developer options in Additional settings in the main Settings.
4. Go to developer options and enable USB debugging mode.

Secondly, to make sure it allows your phone to used via ADB. Download the necessary USB driver.

This can be done via Android Studio by going to SDK Manager --> Tools --> Google USB Drivers --> Install this.

To avoid the "INSTALLATION_CANCELLED_BY_USER" error, do this:

1. Go to the "Security" application and tap "Options" at top right corner.
2. Scroll down to "Feature Settings" group, and look for "Permissions"
3. At there switch off "Install via USB" option, which manages installation of the apps via USB and doesn't allow it.

On Latest Redmi Device,

• Settings > Additional Settings > Developer Options > Developer options: Check the Install via USB option.

Once installed, you will be able to use your Xiaomi device for App Testing.

Answer 4

Xiaomi interface has a lot of "locks". To use your Xiaomi device to test your apps you need to:

• enable developer mode:

  • Settings > About Phone > MIUI version.
  • Tap the MIUI version message until you receive a message telling you that you are a developer.

• enable usb debugging (inside the developer menu).

• enable fast-booting (I don't know if this one is necessary).

• install the Mi PC Suite.

• Use a USB port from behind of your computer.

• allow third party's apps on your device.

Answer 5

Just

1. goto Additional Settings > Developer Option > there at the bottom just turn off MIUI optimization.

Then

2. Enable:
   • USB debugging
   • Install via USB
   • USB debugging (Security settings)

Worked for me. cheers

Answer 6

I am not sure if you are always looking for a solution. However, I had the same problem, and to fix it, just try the following steps (it works for me):

1. Go to Settings > Additional settings > Developer options
2. Disable the "Turn on MUI optimization"
3. Reboot your phone

It should work after rebooting your device. Good luck
