My Galaxy S6 Edge cannot connect to Android Studio via USB Debugging

Question

When I plug my Galaxy S6 Edge into my computer, Android Studio does not recognize it as an available USB device. I've tried to download a USB Driver update and I have USB Debugging checked on my phone, but nothing is working. What else do I need to do in order to run my app on my phone?

Answer 1

I had the same problem. I tried with another USB cable (Not the one comes with my s6 edge or any samsung product ) and it worked.

(prior to this i spend almost a day by installing some software and all :(..but only above solution worked for me )

Answer 2

If your settings (S6 USB debugging, driver, Android Studio) are correct, you might try the following:

• (On phone) turn USB Debugging OFF
• Connect S6 to USB
• Click on the notification "connected as MTP device", check the option "camera" (also appropriate for non-MTP connection)
• turn USB Debugging back ON

If your device runs Android 6, the notification (step 3 above) should say "Use USB for" and offer 4 choices. You want to click on "Transferring Images".

If you see the connected device in the "Other devices" of the Device Manager, try adding "Hardware Ids" of it to android_winusb.inf. Then select "Update Driver Software" in the Device Manager. The detail can be found in the link below. In my environment, adb_usb.ini was not there, so I skipped it but could recognize my Galaxy S6 Edege. http://jodieorourke.com/view.php?id=190&blog=news
