After 5 hours i have given up. First thing what i did was just setting usb debugging to true and i thought it should work. But nothing. Device is charging, but that is actualy all what happens. Computer would not even recognize the device. Nothing.

note: On that point i must state that i was testing on my friends phone (same cmputer) week before and it worked like a charm. i have just enabled usb debugging and it has worked with ease.

Back to the problem. Then i have instaled usb drivers for samsung phones, and result was the same. A that point i have found kies. So i've uninstaled drivers, reboot computer, instaled kies and tryed again, but again - nothing.

Any ideas?

Edit: i want to connect my device to eclipse, but now i am just trying how to connect my device to computer

Abt my computer: windows7 64bit

Abt device: Samsung Nexus S plus, android version 2.3.5

    Not really related to programming but you might need to change the USB mode from media to something else. – Jesus Ramos Mar 27 '14 at 22:34
  • well it is, becouse i cant test anything now – raco Mar 27 '14 at 22:36
  • raco - state your programming related question, then. – jww Mar 27 '14 at 22:37
  • I'm guessing you're on Windows? If so, it's almost definitely the driver. – kabuko Mar 27 '14 at 22:37
  • @noloader - ADB (the android **debug** bridge) is a "development tool" and thus specifically on topic here, though it would help if raco would explicitly state the host system type. – Chris Stratton Mar 27 '14 at 22:38
  • Chris Stratton - the question is about connecting his Android device to a computer. The question does not mention `adb`. – jww Mar 27 '14 at 22:38

    @noloader - in fact it is about ADB, as indicated by "First thing what i did was just setting usb debugging to true" which is the procedure for enabling ADB on the phone side. – Chris Stratton Mar 27 '14 at 22:39
  • Chris Stratton - that's a leap. At best, its something he tried while attempting to connect his Android device to his computer. – jww Mar 27 '14 at 22:41
  • Or instead of bickering amongst yourselves, you could ask raco; without being condescending about it? – CaffGeek Mar 27 '14 at 22:41

    ... for purposes of **debugging** ... See the initial comment exchange "Not really related to programming " to which raco replied "well it is, becouse i cant test anything now" – Chris Stratton Mar 27 '14 at 22:41
  • Chris Stratton - again, the question does not state that. Perhaps I'm missing something really obvious here... – jww Mar 27 '14 at 22:44
  • Chris Stratton - perhaps the comment you are referring to has been deleted. I can't find anything you claim to cite (the stuff you put in quotes), and the question has not been edited. – jww Mar 27 '14 at 22:46

    wow guys youd dont need to argue. I have tryed to connect device to eclipse, but with so many problem i am now just trying that computer would recognize it. After it it will work in eclipse – raco Mar 27 '14 at 22:47
  • raco - what, precisely, are you trying to do? "connect Samsung Galaxy S plus to computer" is kind of vague and appears to be off topic for Stack Overflow. Please add it to your question, and don't post it as a comment. – jww Mar 27 '14 at 22:51
  • connect it to eclipse. But i have just asked more general – raco Mar 27 '14 at 22:52
  • "Eclipse... now i am just trying how to connect my device to computer" - does Windows recognize your device in Device Manager? Or does it show up as a removable drive? Can you run `adb` from the command line? What does `adb devices` return? – jww Mar 27 '14 at 23:02
  • It doesnt recognise it anywhere, so i cant even link it to adb – raco Mar 28 '14 at 00:00

You should first of all install the driver of your Samsung Galaxy S, Sumsung kies, you find it in here

and then plug your device

hope this help

  • i have tryed this approach so i could see if i can get some response, but: device said connected and kies saied plug your device... also i dont need kies, becouse i need development options so it was just experimental approach – raco Mar 28 '14 at 00:01
  • if you want to see your device in eclipse, you need the driver of the device, and then when executing your apps you will see it "development options" – wael Mar 28 '14 at 00:08
  • i know anyway i am again instaling the kies, coz i think it has the right drivers (i have just uninstaled drivers that i have found). – raco Mar 28 '14 at 00:13

I had a real pain getting my computer to recognize my device (Nexus 7), I documented my steps

http://caffeinatedgeek.ca/2014/03/04/getting-started-with-android-development/

The key I think was using this android usb driver

http://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html

And/or the Usb Computer Connection setting (MTP vs PTP):

If nothing is attached, you many need to change the Connection type with your computer, on your Android device, go to Settings -> Storage, and click the elipses in the top right, you’ll come to this screen, try changing between the two modes, one should work. On mine it was Camera, others have reported differently.

  • "The key I think was using this android usb driver" - is that a different driver than the one provided in platform tools (I think that's where its installed with the SDK manager)? – jww Mar 27 '14 at 22:54
  • Thank you for ansver, but there are two problems: 1. device is not shown at device manager 2. i cant find USB computer connection. Android version on the phone is 2.3.5, so probably it is not available – raco Mar 27 '14 at 23:04
  • If windows is not detecting a device of any sort, try a a different port and cable. Even without a driver, *something* should show - just putting the pullup resistor on a USB data line is enough to cause the computer to see there is something there it can't talk to. – Chris Stratton Mar 28 '14 at 00:33
  • @raco it not showing is the problem I initially had. New drivers and the MTP/PTP swap fixed it. – CaffGeek Mar 28 '14 at 00:56
  • I am sure that i have most recent drivers but i dont have MTP/PTP options. If i set USB debuggable to false i can chose in USB settings: mass storage, kies or media player (Gingerbread os) – raco Mar 28 '14 at 01:02
  • @raco, did you try the drivers I linked? I thought I had the latest as well, then used the drivers straight from google, and it all started to work. – CaffGeek Apr 01 '14 at 18:19
  • i have tryed probably all drivers that i could find. Now i have bought Samsung Galaxy y and it is working with ease. There is something wrong with nexus phones... – raco Apr 01 '14 at 20:02
  • @raco, but did you specifically try the drivers I suggested that are direct from google? Following the steps in my link that uses Device Manager and "Update Driver Software...". – CaffGeek Apr 01 '14 at 20:18
  • yes i did. i have tryed on computer and nothing. I would sooner manage to plugin a rock than that damn phone. – raco Apr 01 '14 at 20:20
