Using Xperia SO-03C Running Android for Debugging

Question

I would like to use my Sony Ericsson Xperia SO-03C phone running Android 2.3.4 for debugging my app. I have connected it to my Macbook Air via the USB port, and it seems Eclipse fails to recognize it (although I can charge the device).

I have already enabled "USB debugging" on the phone. I have also tried "adb devices" and it does not show my phone. I've also tried stopping and starting the server to no avail (adb kill-server/adb start-server). I'm out of ideas on what to try next.

Any help or suggestions is greatly appreciated.

Did you install the device driver for the phone?

My understanding is this only necessary for Windows. Is it also for MacOSX? – Peter Jacobs Feb 13 '13 at 03:50
I faced the same issue. It got resolved after I installed drivers. But it was for windows. – digitizedx Feb 13 '13 at 05:52
Yeah, I was under the impression installing drivers was only necessary for Windows, not MacOSX. Perhaps I am mistaken. I'll research it a bit more. – Peter Jacobs Feb 13 '13 at 07:57
Hmmm... I wondering if this could be it. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4996406/android-phone-is-not-recognized-on-ubuntu-windows-via-usb?rq=1 – Peter Jacobs Feb 13 '13 at 07:59

This issue indeed was the cable I was using. It did not support data transmission. This issue clued me in.
