Android Studio does not recognize my Xiaomi Redmi Note 3

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

Settings > About phone > keep tapping ‘ MIUI version ‘ until it says you’re a developer.

Settings > Additional settings > developer options> toggle ‘USB debugging'

Settings > Additional settings > Developer options> toggle ‘Install via USB'

TRY THIS ONE.THIS WILL WORK.

Answer 2

"Install via USB" wont work if your Xiaomi phone is running MIUI 8 or above. Looks like when you try to Enable this option, your phone trys to connect to some chinese server and fails.

I got a work around and it worked for me. Idea is to connect to Chinese-Shanghai server through VPN. Try the following:

1. Install PlexVPN from Playstore and login into it. You will a 24 hr free VPN service.
2. Select China-Shanghai server and connect.
3. From developer option in your Xiaomi phone, Enable "Install via USB".

You can then disconnect the VPN and logout from PlexVPN.

Enjoy!!

Answer 3

For Redmi 5 Plus : Make sure to also download and install the Mi Pc Suite.

Answer 4

In some rare cases,the problem is windows "Administrative Templates"

My Xiaomi redmi 2 can't connect with Android Studio although I've done Everything That people say above.

But in my Case I found a solution :

1. put gpedit.msc in windows command
2. go to "Administrative Templates" -> "System" -> "Removable Storage Access"

3. Disable:

    -Removable Disk: Deny execute access
    -Removable Disk: Deny read access
    -Removable Disk: Deny write access
    -All Removable Storage classes: Deny all access
   

4. Plug on your device
5. Run app

Answer 5

If nothing works then do these steps:

1. Turn on USB Debugging in Developer options.
2. Turn On USB Tethering too.

For USB Debugging go to: Settings > Additional Settings > Developer Options > USB Debugging

For USB Tethering go to: Settings > More > USB Tethering

Now it should work. Mine works. Thankyou.
