LG G4 not recognised by Android Studio

I just got the LG G4 phone, turned on developer options mode, tried running an app from Android Studio but it can't recognise my phone. I even tried switching from MTP to PTP but still it's not recognised. I tried a lot of resources out there, still nothing. Please can anyone help?

Why is Android Studio not detecting my phone?

If your device is not correctly detected in RAD Studio or in the system Device Manager, check the following: Ensure that your Android device is unlocked and not sleeping while connected via USB. Set the appropriate option in Settings or Developer Options. Make sure your Android device is enabled for USB debugging.

How can I see my device in Android Studio?

On Android 4.2 and newer, Developer options is hidden by default. To make it available, go to Settings > About phone and tap Build number seven times. Return to the previous screen to find Developer options. Show activity on this post.

Can you connect your device to Android Studio without USB cable?

You can run Android apps on your physical device through a cord or through Wi-Fi. Windows users need to install a USB debugging driver to run apps on their physical device. If you are running your app through Wi-Fi, you can pair using a QR code or a 6 digit code.

Had the same problem and tried everything mentioned above with no success. What ended up working for me was downloading the LG Android USB device Drivers which can be found here: http://www.mylgphones.com/lg-android-usb-device-drivers

The latest drivers didn't work for me so I downloaded the second latest and voila! It worked! Hope this helps.
