I connect my wildfire to my computer using the usb lead and set usb debugging on. Then when I try to select it from eclipse to run my program on I can select it but I can't select ok to actually make it run. It doesn't seem to recognise the phone. Any ideas how to fix this.
You may need to set up udev properly. Look around, you will find it. It should be in Android developer guide for Linux.
Yep found that and have followed it to create a new file for udev so that it can recognise my htc wildfire. The problem is that now it doesn't mount the sd card as it used to when I plug it in. Is there a more general set up I can follow that will fix this?
Would like to know as well
found a link which seems interesting. I will try to worj through it later when I get home but I think it states that I may need another line for normal mode. The catch all rule it shows is the one I have and does not recognise plugging it in normally.
not allowed to post url so will post back if it is any good.
Didn't need anything but the catch all line in the end. Restarting the phone made it all work I had obviously turned something off at some point.

I have run into another issue. I can not mount my phone to computer. I think this is happening because of me rooting my phone. I was able to root the phone successfully. But somewhere along the way something happened and I can't mount my phone to my pc. This is as if my pc is not reading/recognizing the phone when plugged in. However, my phone is reading its memory and sd card perfectly.
When I plug the phone to my pc:
With USB Debugging off... I dont even get a notification in the slide down menu asking me to either mount/unmount.
With USB Debugging on... I do get the option in slidedown menu to mount my phone. At the same time the computer shows a pop up message asking me to install driver software for Samsung_Android. In the meantime , I press mount sd card which by the way is still not recognized by the computer.
I dont have the driver for samsung_android to install on the computer.
This thread here describes how I rooted my phone. I thought this background info might be helpful in solving the problem.
Does anyone know a potential fix for this situation.
Thanks.
When this happened to me having it" ask what to do" when connected may have solved the issue. I went through this just yesterday. You also might re-boot your phone and computer a few times...nothing like that can hurt. Until someone who actually knows something finds this thread : P

**bump... someone gotta know the solution
Reading your post is a little confusing. If you are saying you cannot "mount" the phone the term Mount is replaced with "connect usb storage" in the pull down. If yours is saying mount, then your rooting process may have not worked. It is hard to tell based on how you wrote this up. Use the one-click rooting you can find all you need INCLUDING the Samsung computer drivers (32 or 64bit) @ unlockr.com along with a nice youtube video showing the whole process beginning to end.
Additional thoughts:
If you are really jacked you can always go to the bible (in the top of this general forum) and search for the "ALL in One" zip to flash back to stock...etc. The All in One has the stock kernel, the .pit (used for mapping) the 32 bit driver/64 bit driver for the computer and Odin all in one Zip. You should have this in your computer folder named (unbrick tools) either way you should get all this if you are going to be customizing the phone, along with the Eugene's froyo that does not brick rom. This rom is a lifesaver should you flash in a way where the format will not recognize the stock format. You can flash this 1st then stock right after and that ALWAYS gets you back to stock.
In the future, when you are trying to describe what is going on try to be careful with terminology it is important not to use terms loosely otherwise we are just guessing on how to help......... hope this helps
Thanks for your thoughts. It seemed as if my computer was lacking the drivers for samsung vibrant so I installed them from here
and now I can connect my phone to the pc and its working fine. I thought I had downloaded and installed the drivers before when I downloaded on the big download button on the top and installed some fake software from advertisement.
If you ever flash a 2.2 rom and experience the problem again with the drivers already installed, this might fix it...

I already have my samsung usb and android modem drivers installed. but everytime i plug my phone in with usb debugging on, the "Found New Hardware" window keeps popping up, why?
im not sure, but it could be the problem to why it always says "waiting for device" on superoneclick
My day job is pc tech, I have seen this a few times but going to follow the steps, first give me some info
Which version of windows?
32 or 64 bit?
How proficient are you at driver maint. *add and removeal ov drivers*
When did this start?
windows xp - 32 bit - and im pretty proficient at maintenance. i think its always been like this.
Ok, Do you always use the same USB port? and have you tried a different cable? and have you tried it on other computers? if so did it do the same thing there?
First we got to get rid of the drivers on the pc.
http://download.cnet.com/DriverMax/3000-18513_4-10572602.html
This is a free program that has a few nice features but most important is that it can tell you the name of the files that are used as drivers. After you install and register (its free, they just want to know who you are.. name, email, that kind of stuff) there will be an entry on the right side called "Installed Drivers Report". Make sure you phone is connected before you click this as it scans active drivers. it will generate a report you can scroll through and find any samsung driver entrys. Write down those file names, we will need them in a moment.
Go to device manager and remove the device there. Windows XP was kinda lame about device removal it did not actually remove the device just broke the connection. Vista and 7 give you the option to actually delete the files which make this easier. Since your on XP after the devices have all been removed UNPLUG your phone from the PC then start a search for those files in the Windows directory. Delete (or move) those files and the rerun the driver install program from here

After that it may setup and find new hardware a few times. Mine did it 3 since there are multiple different methods it can connect with and each uses differnet hardware. Also each time you use a differnt USB port it sees it as new device in a new location so it also goes through new hardware setup again.
Report back and let me know if this helped any.
okay thanks for the quick response. i will try it when I have time and ill get back to you. first, imma try it on a different computer.
also, when its plugged in and i open device manager, theres 3 yellow exclamation marks, one on the android modem, device, and in the "OTHER devices" section, the USB controllers. if that means anything.
just turn off usb debugging... and it will stop. turn it back on if you need to use it for something.
Does anyone use the micro usb port? I have yet to find a use for it. I can't transfer files with it, charge with it nor are there any peripherals (that I know of) that can use it. I searched around but couldn't find much useful stuff on the port. All I found was this useless video:
**Ok I can't post the video because of more stupid forum rules but just go to youtube.com and append this after the url: /watch?v=1xBVu-IatDQ **
Anyway, if someone has ideas on how this port can be used I'm all ears... Thanks.

It is a file transfer port. you plug a cable into it and into your PCs usb port. works like the ones on your phone.
Does it work for you? Because it doesn't for me. Nothing happens when I plug it into a computer. No automounting on the computer side or indication on the tablet that I can put it into "usb storage mode" like the 2.X Android versions do.

What OS are you using on your computer, and have you installed the drivers for it?

Computer OS? i just plugged it into my Win7 system and it was there instantly. 3.0 shows up as a media device, which allows both the tablet and the computer to talk to the sdcard at the same time. So you won't see a mount prompt on the tablet. BTW my Incredible2 is running 2.3 and also lets me access the SD card on it and the computer at the same time.
I'm still using an old tiny xp and it worked fine for me just plugged it in and there it was
I tried Gentoo Linux and XP and neither worked. What drivers do I need to install?
I also have access to a Win7 system so I'll try that.
dq
Drivers from acer website.
I have adb installed should this not be enough?
You need none installed. ADB if its running in some form might be interfering. its just a basic driver in windows it uses.
I only run adb-server when I need it and not all the time. I thought that any needed drivers would have been installed when I installed adb.
For my Gentoo machine what should I do? It's not detected at all if I plug it in. My x10 mini and Nexus One are detected no problem and I can mount them and everything so what's up? Is there a kernel module that I need to build?
Thanks.

I had to download these drivers for my xp netbook ,,

I agree with Nova 5. The Windows drivers for USB come with the SDK and while you might not think you will have use for the SDK you will. It makes the process of installing custom ROM,s and Recovery Kernels a breeze. You download your zip flashes or recovery images to Win 7 and then you adb push your downloads to the tablet. The alternatives, unless soneone was nice enough to compile you an apk, which most advanced system developers don,t bother with, unless their app is destined for the massees throug Andriod market, is to install a terminal emulator and enter native Unix/Linux shell commands manually. If you aren't a shell cmd expert I suggest you immediatly download the latest Android SDK for Windows and start learning what it can do for you with just 2 or 3 adb push commands which can help you advoid 10's of lines of manually entered Linux shell commands that can do some real damage to your system if you are copying someone elses terminal emulator sh install instructions, don't understand what they do and make 1 simple typing mistake. With adb push you don't even have to get involved in Linux's complicated bit based permission changes to install something at the system level.

Yes, well I only really use adb in the same capacity as what you describe-- to root a device. After that busybox can be installed and I can either ssh into the device (which I prefer) or use the terminal on the device itself.
But my problem is the detection of the device once it is plugged into my Linux box. I'm not sure if I need a special driver for that and I'd rather not aimlessly search through the kernel config in order to build one (I've done that before and it's painful!). It's good to know that one can mount it on an external device and still use it simultaneously though. That will save me time in trying to fiddle around with settings in the tablet itself...

If you are not able to transfer files Try enabling usb debugging before connecting to pc.
If the tab is not in the usb devices list and it doesn't show up as an unknown device, you might want to try another usb cable. Or another port if you have the Windows and Linux on the same machine and you are trying to connect on the same port.

Not nearly what I was saying. Not even close enough that a bomb would touch it.
Simple answer is my vista and win7 systems accessed the iconia as a media player device requiring no drivers as they are a common system driver. My only comment about ADB was that it might be interfering if it somehow was left running in the background.
I'm not sure what the problem is, but I had to play around with the settings and plug it in several times and finally it showed up. Now I plug it in and the dialog for auto play shows up instantly. When I choose to view files, I get a window with two drives. One is the internal storage and the other is the sd card.

Sometimes mine gets a bit wonky as well. Every now and then, I'll plug it in, get the windows dialogue box asking me what I want to do. I open it up and the box is blank, no drives, nothing. Unplug it, wait a few seconds, pop it back in, and everything is OK. No rhyme or reason, and it doesn't happen all the time.
Quick trick for win7 .
Plug in the device.go into device manager delete its entry and the USB controller it resides on.unplug device.install driver from acer web site.then try the device again.
This works on several USB type issues
Good luck if you don't understand don't try
My screen is unfortunately broken. Not the digitizer. And i can use my phone. But i have to do few things with my phone. So i have to use androidscreencast etc. programmes like them. But adb can't find my device. I guess i forgot to turn usb debugging on. I know it's hard but is there anybody can send screenshots for me. I was using "AUDACITY B3 or B4", i really need help this is so important for me. Or if is there any way to see my screen from my computer without adb?
Edit: Guys when i connected while my phone is closed, adb devices command answers as recovery. When i turn my phone on i can't see anymore...
Edit 2: I can connect and see screen while on clockworkmod recovery, but it closes connection when phone turns on...
you could find out what setting under /etc or wherever is for usb debugging, then write a small .sh script to change that, put that into a .zip file, and flash it!
maybe this helps, I only skimmed it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1193915
edit: or you could remote-install (via google play store) one of those "stolen phone" apps, maybe that'll give you access
Anyone else having problems getting their Windows 7 PC to pick up there SIII
When I connect my Phone I get the following message.
***********
Hardware device missing
Windows cannot identify the device SAMSUNG USB
***********
Or something like that.
Anyway, it picked it up once (yesterday) and nothing since then. Its really annoying as it won't connect to Kies.

There are two possible issue at play here, one your pc drivers are incorrect or two the phone has an issue (1 is much more likely).
1) Uninstall Kies, reboot the pc, reinstall kies and disconnect from the internet then plug your phone in.
see if that works, if not you may need to manually point to the correct drivers
2) Odin flash your existing rom back using the "update bootloader" issue, this will repair any slight niggles on the phone side.
Tried option 1 and still nothing, Kies keeps crashing and the phone will still not connect.
How do I manualy select the right driver???
I don't really want to try option 2. I only have the phone 2 weeks and I'm very happy with it as it is. I don't want to go modding it like my last phone.
I have this issue too.
You are not alone...Lot of users have this issue!

Option 2 is not strictly speaking modding, all you will be doing is flashing the stock rom (the rom you already have on your phone) back over itself, you will not be rooting or customising everything, the rom will still be "official" and not "modified".
As for the drivers, I assume your using windows? if so:
Press Start
Right click on "computer"
Manage devices
find the item that has the "!" error sign and right click update driver
point it to the kies installation folder.
hope for the best.

Done the above and it tell's me that I'm using the most up to date drivers.
ok new idea (but will only be a temp fix)
When you plug the phone in it should have a notification saying connected to media device.
Click that, change from MTP to PTP and back again. and see if that helps.
Just found this worked for me.
******* Posted by Ditto
Yeah that whole "Hardware ID missing" was an irritating situation. This is what I recommend as far as making it work.
1. Plug in.
2. When you get the error message, I think its because of a conflict with the ADB interface. Go to Settings, Developer Options, and check off USB Debugging.
3. Plug in once again and it should work. If not, try toggling between Camera and MTP.

All i want to do is see my phone in MyComputer then I can access the files no problem.
Back on Media device (mtp) and it looked like it installed drivers and then the folder Computer/GT-I9300 opened so happy days.
