[Q] Android Studio Says Device Not Compatible - General Questions and Answers

Hello,
I am trying to be able to use adb to send the app to my phone for development purposes. I have used eclipse and it worked with my phone, but recently I have switched to android studio. When I try to send my app to my phone, it says the phone is "not compatible". It works on my nexus 7. My phone is a note 2 on stock 4.3 verizon rom. I have usb debugging enabled/installer option on. How can I fix this issue. Also, it seems that this is not a common problem, I looked for it for a while and couldn't find anything that pertained to this issue. Thanks for any help.

I haven't seen that error before myself, but could the app be the problem? Are you sure it's compatible with your phone (min SDK version, required features, etc?)

It seems android studio adds some line of code that is not compatible with 4.3 if you select compile with 4.4. Anyway, I think I will use eclipse, as studio does not run properly with my phone, it runs into an error in when I try to run it. Thanks for your help though!

[Q] Total Noob in Need of Lots of Help :(

I just got my SNS yesterday and it's my first android phone (was previously using an LG cookie) First thing I did was try to root it, and I seemingly succeeded, or so I thought. It looks like it's rooted and the superuser apps there but I can't install apps using any of the guides I find or even update to 2.3.2 (keep getting and error 7 msg). When I try to install using APKInstaller it tells me it can't find the device, which I think is the problem.
I think the problem is that someway or another windows 7 64 bit stopped recognizing my phone as a Nexus S and now recognizes it as a portable device in device manager (There's also an Android Phone, with an Android Composite ADB interface) I used the SDK to install all the updates available including the google usb driver rev. 4. I tried updating the Portable device driver using the google usb driver but windows keeps it as a WPD Filesystem Volume Driver. Also I noticed when I checked to see if adb gave me a serial number for the phone using the cmd prompt commands in the rooting guides it comes up blank.
I used usbdeview to delete everything seemingly related to Android, but everytime I reconnect the phone it, installs the drivers for the portable device.
I need help to make windows recognize the phone as a nexus s again so I can update and install apps and games etc. If anybody out there can help i'll really appreciate it. Explain the steps to me as if you were talking to a child, leaving nothing out plz. Thanks for any assistance.
I live outside the US (no android market) and would hate to think I messed up and expense phone purchase in just one day
Not quite sure where to start. But my intuition tells me its the Windows 7 64-bit and drivers that's not playing along. You might want to google if other users are having trouble with W7 64-bit with Android drivers. Otherwise, find another computer and repeat the steps. If not, flash a custom ROM to see if that eliminates the problem. You haven't damaged your phone. Don't worry.
just install directly from android market website
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
I assume you mean instal the update from the market (which I can't do because I don't have wifi)?
I managed to get the adb to list a device number after I installed java x32 & x64 bit. I still can't install apps or get the update to work, but I'll try unrooting and then rerooting my phone as see how that goes.
Oh, I haven't done the initial sign into gmail thing yet in case that makes any difference
Edit: god I feel stupid. I didn't realize that I had to upgrade from 2.3 to 2.3.1 and then to 2.3.2. I did that an everything upgrade without any problems. Now just got to figure out how to install apk's and I'm golden
Edit 2: Ok, I figured everything out and now i'm up to date with updates and I can install apps and games. Oh Happy Day Thx for all the help

How do I get started developing on the Nexus S.

Hello,
I have an idea that I'd like to work with for an Android app, and I guess I'm just looking for tips.
I have recently purchased my first smart phone (Samsung Nexus S - Model: GT-I9020FSRRWC on Rogers in Canada.), and have downloaded the Android SDK and installed it. I have run the "Hello World" application, and looked into some other source examples but I guess I'm stuck on how I actually transfer the code to my phone and run it on the phone (everything up till now has been run in an emulator).
Do I need to root my device in order to install my own apps to my phone? My phone is running Android version 2.3.4

[Q] [Help] Connecting with ADB

Has anyone figured out how to connect to their Note with ADB yet?
I turned on debugging but the darn thing still doesn't show up in the devices list.
For reference, I'm using the cable that came with the Note and I can transfer files successfully
Have you installed proper drivers or the Android SDK? If you get Android SDK for your pc, make sure open up the manager in there. Then download platform tools and tools. It should give you needed drivers and support for ADB & Fastboot(not sure if Samsung uses it).
Or you might be able to use Odin to do whatever you trying to do with ADB. Not sure though. Depends on what you trying to do.

I'm trying to play with some app deving, I like the logcat tools Eclipse provides.
I'm also trying to play with sqlite,
I updated my SDK to have the ICS and JB API's, I didn't think that ADB would have been significantly different than the honeycomb one I was using with my GB phone. I'll give it another try when I get back to my office on Thursday. I figured either I was doing something wrong, or I had something wrong on my Note when my Prevail works.
Thanks for the help
Well, I updated everything, made sure I have the latest ADB executable and dll's and still can't get it to work.
I have no idea what I'm doing wrong.
I can connect to my phone just fine, pull logcats, install test builds of APKs with Eclipse, everything.
My Note just doesn't show in the device list. I've made sure that adbd is a running service on the Note. Should I be using a different cable from the one that came with the system?
In case it matters, the only things I've done are to install CWM recovery and rooted using this method: rootgalaxynote.com/galaxy-note-10-1-root/how-to-root-galaxy-note-10-1-easiest-methodcwmmethod-2/
Well, turns out I'm a complete idiot.
It helps to have the latest samsung drivers installed
I had given up on getting it to work, then installed Kies to do an update.....
once it installed new drivers, my Note suddenly started showing up in ADB's device list.
Here I thought I already had the latest drivers
I feel like such an idiot

Quad core android based projector, Ruishida T16P

I got this "smart" projector , a T16P , recently and it's a pretty great device running KitKat I think. I'm not too in love with the ROM however and would love to root it and put some better firmware on if it's available. Kodi runs beautifully on it.
What would I need to do to achieve this? I've no idea how to get it into download mode, or how to backup the existing ROM, extract some hardware drivers ?
It would be such a fun device to run alternative OS images on, or maybe even an ARM linux. It's such capable hardware, it pains me to not have more control over it's software.
I do not recommend to do this.
I had the same feeling so I tried to update to lollipop... and since then I can't boot the projector anymore

Bootloader unlock and root help?

Hi all, first off im not a complete noob, I've rooted/bootloader unlocked a few phones, jailbroken apple devices etc... but this issue has me pulling my hair out now. Apologies if im in the wrong section of the forum.
So, i'm trying to unlock my bootloader on the OnePlus One using ADB through the Android SDK and i'm having several issues.
1 i cant get my phone to be recognised as an ADB device, have installed every single driver i can find anywhere, and none of it works, my phone has the necessary Developer Options enabled.
2 the Android SDK doesn't actually open for longer than a fraction of a second, i have tried multiple Java SDK's to direct the Android.bat file at, nothings happening for me.
3 i installed Eclipse to open the SDK in, Eclipse doesn't even open, it freezes
Im using Windows 10 on a HP630 laptop. Been trawling through the XDA forums among other forums and websites and im yet to find a solution, im about to try installing JDK 1.7 xxxx to see if i can redirect Android.bat to that version of the Java.exe
I'm aware of the process i have to go through to unlock my bootloader, its just i cant actually get the Android SDK to open, my phone to be picked up as an ADB device, and using Windows button +R to open ADB interface does absolutely nothing either, it flashes on for a fraction of a second and its gone again.
I'd appreciate any help anyone can offer me, im tempted to throw my laptop through the window.
