I have a very strange issue with my Nexus 5 (Android 4.4.2).
I have USB debugging enabled since day one because I'm using it as a development device. Until today it worked all fine. Today, I enabled USB Tethering using the menu Settings > More > Tethering > USB Tethering because I needed Internet connection. After a while I disabled it. From that point on, my ADT Bundle didn't see my device anymore! Strangely enough, as soon as I enable USB Tethering, my PC sees my Nexus again! Can anybody explain this? It looks like a nasty bug...
I have samsung GT S7562 but problem I believe is not specific to the model
here is the situation in detail
when I connect Android phone with USB cable to PC
and Settings > Developer options > USB debugging is enabled
the dialer comes up on its own and dials 922,822,22 (about 6 of those every 15 to 30 minutes)
if I disconnect the USB cable or disable the USB debugging or connect to a different PC
this does not happen anymore
so I figured its a PC malfunction (virus probably) that affects android but the USB debugging has to be enabled in order to access the phone fully
on this particular PC (windows 8.1) I have connected many android helper apps (explorers etc) and I suspect one of them had virus
I will post back if I find anything more solid but please tell me how to debug such a situation
is there any application that will log all the application from PC that connect and use the dialer on the android
or any android app that will do this ?
Some apps work with USB debugging on, and some debugging off. Is there a way to "fool" the apps thinking that the debugging is off, cuz they keep asking for it?
I've enabled usb debugging mode in my Huawei y6 ii for installing apps from pc. But now I was unable to use file transfer when connected to pc. The second problem is I was unable to disable usb debugging mode or developer options. If I turn off developer options it turns on again. The usb debugging mode is greyed out with being turned on. Is there any way to turn it off?
I noticed that in the developer options there is an option for wireless debugging. Does it work?
Can somebody explain to me how can I use it?
Is it like a USB debugging, only we don't use cable?
Wireless debugging is a new feature in developing, which allows developer to leave USB cable behind and connect your phone to your computer via ADB completely over Wi-Fi. To use wireless debugging head to Developer Options from Settings –> System –> Advanced or at the bottom of the Settings app. Tap the "Wireless debugging" option, check "Always allow on this network," then press "Allow.".

I use usb debugging often. You mean I can use wifi instead of usb so easily?

yes just do adb connect 192.168.1.2 . With the ip adress of your phone instead.

It works great. I had read about it in the past but this is my first phone to implement that
Does this work if the PC is ethernet wired and not on wifi? Same local wan (router). I am getting error that the target machine (phone Oneplus 8T) actively refused it. Used: adb tcpip 5555. Set Dev Options on to wireless debugging, etc. Used phone ip address.
