[For Ubuntu and Android Experts]Android not being detected by my Ubuntu Laptop - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717

Hi Friends,
I am new to Android Development, so i created a simple app in Eclipse using ADT (On Ubuntu), now i want to deploy it on my Samsung Galaxy Note (ICS 4.03)
I have created the app using the correct api version (15), however i am unable to see my connected phone as a target to run my app on.
Upon further investigation i ran lsusb to check if my android has been detected, however i cant see the phone anywhere in the list.
I have set the USB Debugging Option.
My Question is, how do i detect if my android phone has been detected by Ubuntu, i can see that the phone is charging but how do i check if the mobile is ready to receive data in the form of apk's for deploying the app ?
Thanks,
Abhishek

You will need to make sure you have adb set up correctly

While messing with adb is not really needed, trying to understand the command line made me realise, i can just build to my dropbox folder and install the apk when it shows up in my dropbox on the phone.

GingerBreak not working/starting/opening.

Hello,
I just got my first Android phone, the Atrix 4g. So I'm relatively new to Rooting although I have jailbroken my iPod and my iPhone but I know jailbreaking is much easier and simple. My problem is that when I try to start GingerBreak.exe, nothing happens. I've installed all the drivers, set the USB Connection to "None", and turned on Debugging. I don't know what I'm doing wrong but when I start GingerBreak.exe, I suppose it appears on your phone but nothing appears or opens on my phone nor computer.
Can anyone help me? Anything is appreciated!
Thanks!
Edit: BTW, I have an external MicroSD card mounted as well.
Get adb and type adb devices in command prompt

Blehh, as I've said, I'm new so can you please tell me what adb is and where to get it?
And how would I use it?
Download adb from superoneclick. Using command prompt navigate to the directory. Then type adb devices.

Fixed guys.
It couldn't detect the phone because I needed to download the MotoHelper drivers from the Motorola websites, the x64 drivers downloaded from the guide didn't contain the Motorola ADB Interface driver.

[Q] Android SDK help

Wondering if someone knew this answer. I'm not new to adb but came across one issue i can't figure out. I have my adb set up for my o.g. Evo which is using Android SDK r6 which works fine. On Evo 3D i cant get passed "adb devices". All it says is list devices attached but it doesnt list which device like its not seeing it. I tried SDK r10 and r11 and nothing. I'm trying to push fre3vo.

Do you have the drivers installed. Also, go to settings->Applications->Development and make sure USB debugging is selected.
I'm not sure selecting/deselecting USB debugging and/or Allow mock locations will make it work, but I remember having the same exact issue and I started playing with those and it worked. Maybe someone can confirm. Good luck.
It was the drivers. Who'd of thunk,lol Thank ya!

For anyone else having problems getting ADB to run after checking the above mentioned solutions if you're still having trouble.....Make sure HTC Sync is not running on your computer. In fact, unless you use it to sync your phone with your computer, which most people do not. Just uninstall it. Once you have the drivers for your phone installed you don't need to keep Sync installed.
Still no luck.....I did uninstall HTC and tried everything......even uninstalled sdk and same thing I really need help.

you are posting with forward slashes, are you on linux? if you are not, and are on windows then you need backslashes. anyways, go to your android folder, then the platform tools folder. you should see adb.exe if so, hold the shift key and click on an empty area in this folder. in the pop up there will be an option that say "open cmd prompt window here" click that, then in the cmd prompt window type "adb devices" without the quotes. does it list your device? if not, open device manager and see if there are any things shown with errors if so, right click and select update drivers. if this helped pm in accordance to your promise in the pron thread!

After you bring up your command promt....You have to change directory to the sdk.
cd \android-sdk-windows\platform-tools (if the latest version)
or cd \android-sdk-windows\tools (if and older version)
Well to start don't have an Android folder....I don't think or c one. Also I do c the file in sdk folder but can't do anything u said to do....I'm on windows 7.and yes a promise is a promise.
i got c:\android-sdk\tools>.....after doing what u said is that good?

If you installed the sdk to the root of your hard drive (c) and you go to my computer....you should see a folder called "android-sdk-windows". If you have that, then it's installed and in the right place. You just need to change directories to it once you open your command prompt.

Yes. Now with your phone plugged in & charge only selected, type:
adb devices
it says daemon started successfully list of devices successfully ht16ahx05283 device

ADB not working.

My computer doesn't see my Rezound. Unknown devices is what comes up. I do have debugging enabled, and HTC sync not enabled, set on charge only, have the htc drivers installed, and I have the SDK tools renamed to Android in my C:/
I dunno what else to do.

on the android development forum. The thread Stock Rooted OTA by Con247 . Feralicious posted a mini-set of SDK tools that Mr. Smith had put up awhile back that contains what is needed to run most adb commands from.
Find that post, at one time it was the last page of the thread, by now I am sure its a few back. Unzip those tools and create a folder on the C: drive somewhere and then you can use that folder to run your adb commands.
Granted without the proper path linked you will have to place any files you want to send to the phone in that folder and when starting up the cmd box either do it from that folder or you have to change directory so that you are using that folder to run the commands. It will work though so give that a shot until you can figure out how to properly set up Adb. I know i had a heck of a time as well.
Check your device manager. If you updated your phone with the OTA, your PC could have a hard time seeing the new device. Your phone should be recognized as an Android USB Device.

Suggest you remove all android drivers (and htsync if you have it) and start over with the tools mentioned in the thread above. I had a similar issue where I could run adb but it couldn't find my Rezound, and I just uninstalled everything and found I had multiple sets of android drivers (dating back to my Incredible) fouling things up.
Once I reinstalled the right drivers and just right drivers, I was good to go.
It's also possible that you have 2 different versions of adb. I had to end process on adb.exe and then restart adb in the folder I was using. Apparently, my pc was looking at 2 adb files and didn't know which one to use.

ADB isn't phone specific, so two versions only truly gums up the works like when we just got HTC unlock and people were downloading ADB all over the place.

ADB? Where is it... LOL

Well I'm a noob to XDA and Android and I decided to root my Note.
Well the rooting is done, now I'm trying to find out where I access ADB from? I have the Android SDK on my computer and it has a dos program that just executes and exits quickly without any input from me.
Thanks in advance.
Try this link, shows u how to set up adb.

if you search anywhere for ADB you will find information everywhere. you can start with the official http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/tools/adb.html but there are even more links to simpler guides.
Go to the android sdk folder open up tools..shift+right click mouse. Select open cmd prompt here. Plug your phone into your computer. Type adb devices. If drivers are installed properly and USB debugging is turned on you should get a response back with your phones serial number.
It might be alt + right click ..or ctrl+ right click...I'm not near a CPU right now.

[Q] how to connect kindle f hd 7 to adb

hi
i just began learning android. i tried to connect my kf hd to adb. i installed the jdk and eclipse. i also setup the sdk manager to install the kindle fire hd 7 and kindle fire USB driver. but i have two problems.
one is when i run my app, it always run in the android API 16 emulator even though i set the project property to KF hd 7.
the second thing is that when i connected my device to the usb port of my computer, and run the app from eclipse to debug, my device did not changed accordingly (to displays what is on eclipse. furthermore, when i clicked start->control panel->device manager i found the name of my device in it, but just "kindle" that all, not kindle fire. and i do not see "Android Composite ADB Interface". why is that? even though i installed and ran Kindle Fire ADB drivers.exe.
as i mentioned before, i am a complete noobs when it come to android and java.
thanks in advance.

hi
i do not know what you meant "tried adb in sdk. i had not heard that before. can you elaborate?
one thing i should tell you is that when i go to the command line and execute "adb devices", the device list is two blank lines. that showed that it did not install the usb driver correctly, right?
