Android SDK not recognizing debug-able device

Question

I\'m new to Android development, and am attempting to run a test application on my actual device. I followed the instructions at http://developer.android.com/guide/developin

Answer 1

Assuming the correct driver has been installed successfully (No exclamation mark on the driver icon in device manager), check if the device vendor ID is listed in User\.android\adb_usb.ini.

You device vendor ID can be found at http://developer.android.com/tools/device.html

After adding the new vendor ID, reconnect the device and restart adb

For more details see this thread adb not finding my device / phone (MacOS X)

Answer 2

Correct if I'm wrong, but cleaning the lint out of the USB port seems to work for some people. Here is a video on how to do it.

edit: Seems to have improved connection performance. Device is recognized with the -devices command if the cable it turned upwards and maintained in that position. Connection to the charger is working perfectly so far.

Answer 3

I have this problem with my Sony Experia L, the problem was my windows firewall, I just change some Inbound and Outbound setting ( Firewall advance setting ) for abd.exe ( Emulator ) and problem fixed. Do it and reset your emulator. Hope this help you.

Answer 4

I was trying to get this to work for an Acer A500 with Eclipse on Windows 8 Pro. I eventually found the solution via this link. I also had to follow the instructions at this link in order to allow installation of an unsigned driver in Windows 8.

Answer 5

type on Chrome:

chrome://inspect

All your connected devices will be listed. If debug session was not enabled, a confirmation dialog should appear in your device. Accept it.

It worked for me.

Answer 6

Make sure you have Motorola's USB driver, as is described on this thread.
