You dont need to connect your phone to your computer to install apps from the play store. If you are on play.google.com and you want to install an app to your phone. Just click on the "install" button and it will do it wirelessly. Just make sure your phone has wifi or a stable data connection.
Oh and if you have the original .apk file and want to install via adb then do this:
Code:
abd install <apk file>
And the easiest way is to just type adb install and then drag the apk to the terminal window.

ADB does not find device

Hi all,
I've searched the forums (honestly), but I can't find an answer to my problem.
I have a Vodafone branded 32B phone.
I installed the AndroidSDK as supposed to, added the path, made the phone root, booted into the recovery console using fastboot and flashed my phone with different operating systems... but during all this time I hever got ADB to work.
Whatever I do, adb never finds the phone. Fastboot works and finds it, when it's in fastboot mode, but ADB never. So, I can't permanently install the recovery console nor do any of the other funky stuff.
ADB doesn't work when the phone is in fastboot mode nor normally operating. I have USB Debugging turned on. The phone works normally and I can access the SDCard just fine.
Any help?
Suggestion.
Look into purchasing a G1 to be kept as a spare and used for development. That's what I've done with my G1. GParted is within most recovery images nowadays, therefore you can do most anything there, well...important functions that is. Keep that in mind.
You might need to uninstall the driver that recognizes your phone, then manually install the updated driver.

that's what i had to do to get it to recognise my phone.
i'm pretty sure the driver came with SDK. either way i've attached the one i used.
go into device manager and update the driver it's currently using with the attached one.
Incorrect driver.
It should be the 1st driver listed in the Android SDK file.
As far as I know, you could also choose to push ADB to your system32 file folder under the C: drive in your computer. That is if you're using a Windows machine.
just a thought
Are you on windows or linux? If you're in ubuntu try sudo adb ... the default unprivilaged user doesnt automatically have access to the device.
If you're in Windows I would uninstall the Android Phone device in device manager and reboot with the phone disconnected. Then connect it and install the usb driver from the sdk when prompted. Might also pay to download the sdk again.
Install HTC Sync
Another known way to fix the issue is to download and install HTC Sync http://www.htc.com/au/SupportViewNews.aspx?dl_id=573&news_id=169
This seems to install the correct drivers
For more info check the Wiki:

Hey Guys,
Forgot to mention I'm on Windows Vista 64 bits.
That last suggestion did the trick. I went to the site and downloaded the HTCDriverUpdate_Vista_64bits.exe, and within seconds I had an ADB connection.
Thanks for your help!

Software to control droid on PC?

The Droid??
This is X10 forum
There is a Program called "RemoteSMS" were you can write SMS from your Computer. To "control" the Phone from PC (install , uninstall *.apk etc) is a tool too (forgot the Name) but for that you need root :-d , which we dont have atm
Or you can use androidscreencast.jnlp, see attachment.
To launch open cmd and type: javaws androidscreencast.jnlp (Note, you must have adb installed. For further info download android sdk)
Forgot to mention your phone must be connected through USB

Please give us a guide on how to get this thing to work.
I have downloaded the Android SDK and installed the Android 1.6 and 2.2 stuffs in the SDK program. But not sure what to do next.

If you have installed the Android SDK, open a command prompt and switch to the android tools directory:
for example:
Code:
cd D:\android\tools <-- this is the tools directory I use
Can also be:
cd X:\*path to SDK*\tools
then use
adb devices
This is to see if your device is connected through usb
You should see this:
Code:
List of devices attached
*Some product number* device
In my case:
List of devices attached
HT9A6LG05799 device
Then execute:
Code:
javaws androidscreencast.jnlp
And it should open a java screen and then show your android screen on the computer.
Also make sure you have the latest Java installed, which can be found here:
javadl . sun . com/webapps/download/AutoDL?BundleId=39502
One note though: the screen needs to be enabled, so not in sleep mode
I hope this works, it works for me, but I'm using an HTC Tatto instead of a SE X10, so I'm not able to check this for the X10 yet.
Murch, that doesn't seems to work for the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10. I don't get up the device list to the X10 no matter what i do.
So can anyone else try this out with an X10 to see if this is the case?.
Nvm, i found out by looking here: http://www.esato.com/board/viewtopic.php?topic=196304

Connecting Through ADB using android sdk r06 for XP

First this will be straight to the point this is for windows xp users only
download sdk from http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html...then you will find this
windows android-sdk_r06-windows.zip
size 23293160 bytes
check sum 7c7fcec3c6b5c7c3df6ae654b27effb5
you will need a unzip program obviously , unzip the file "android-sdk-windows"
to the desktop or your c:\drive ,
so it should look like this in your address bar..
C:\android-sdk-windows
if you are using this way or if you use desktop its up to you, then after that click Start on your pc,
move your mouse up to My Computer and right click, you should see Properties click on it...
now you should see a tab that says "System Properties"....with 7 tabs click on "Advanced"...
then at the very bottom you should see a tab that says .."Environment Variables"...click on that
..now at the very bottom theres a window "System variables" ...scroll down till you see the line
"Path C:\Program Files\Common Files\Teleca Shared "
is what mines says yours might be different but it doesn't matter click on it and then click "Edit"...
"Edit System Variables" tab pops up if its highlighted great push delete if not delete it then put...
1) C:\android-sdk-windows\tools
...if thats where you stored it i know i added the tools folder to it do worry about it ...
or
...if you stored it on your desktop ,you need to go to that folder ,
then go to the tools folder, and then look in the address bar you should see something like
2) C:\Documents and Settings\****\Desktop\android-sdk-windows\tools
now you either have 1) or 2) now with out the "1) or 2) " lol
...copy and paste
those address in the "Edit System Variables" tab and click Ok
now you still need drivers.., people always say this will get you connected,
but it doesn't so here you go,
they are attach at the bottom just do what i did extract to that android-sdk-windows folder ,
and then when you connect and it ask for driver just point the wizard there
..i am on here daily so i am around to help
also to run a check to you have adb done correctly go Start click Run type in cmd,
and when command prompt opens , or just open command prompt
with your device connected type....
adb devices you should see some text saying
list of devices attached
000000000000 device
your connected

I'm totally new in this android thing, and dont have time to investigate some issues... I installed froyo on my HD2, done what you said in first post (I didnt have mentoined path in system variables, so I just added new one, path of "tools" folder...)... Now, my phone recognize that my device is android, but I can't acces internet on phone, using USB cable. To be clear, I whant to use pc (LAN) connection on HD2... I googled everywhere, but its probably not possible. Right?? If not possible, how can I install apps, without mobile currier internet also?? I dont have file explorer app, so I cant navigate throu my sd card. Or I dont know how?? So, give mi few tips how to start, and be aware of my current situation. No spare time, PC internet connection avaible, connected HD2 to pc via USB cable, but no expirience. Just one tip. Mybe how to put file explorer on device
Thanks a lot, even if you just read this post, its enough
Thanks!
Hello,

plug the phone, open a terminal as administrator/root and type
adb stop-server
adb start-server
adb devices
the last command must return your device name-id
If not there is smth wrong with your installation
The device didn't show up do you know what I could have done wrong? Do I have to turn on mass storage? Could it have something to do with my drivers, can't remember installing any... And in the device manager I see four android with a orange triangle with am exclamation mark inside.

No you don't need to enable mass storage, but you need to enable USB debugging from dev settings from the device. Use these drivers

I had the same issue updating my Nexus 7 in adb download mode device not found. You will also notice in system setting device driver is showing an error. You can download Adb driver installer which should detect any missing driver and fix the issue.
It worked for me straight away otherwise I had no way round getting to solve the problem. Fheww!! hope it works for you
Many Thanks.

Frustated with Google News Application

As the title says, I'm fed up with the Google News Application. But the thing is., It is installed as a system app and I don't want that- Disable is the only option that exists for me. I've been disabling it everyday. Even I've disabled Auto-Update for that but still it ENABLES by itself and even UPDATES BY ITSELF.
I've even seeked the help of customer care but they told me to visit SERVICE CENTRE and I even did the same. When I visited the service centre, they just Hard resetted my device and I told them that I've done it more than 6 times at home. They started arguing with me thereby accusing me with bad words...
My phone is still under warranty and I don't want to lose it by installing TWRP and rooting it...
Any kind SUGGESTIONS are HEARTLY WELCOME.
Use ADB.
Download ADB from Google to your PC. (Minimal ADB did not work for me, The one from developers.google.com is the one that works for me)
After ADB, Go to settings and about phone, Tap on build number 7 times. Now you will enable developer options.
Go to deverloper options and enable USB debugging. Now connect phone and open cmd from the folder where you installed adb(Just type cmd in the address bar of the folder). Now a black window will open on your PC.
Then type adb devices on your PC. Now there will be a prompt on your phone asking allow access to the PC.
Select yes and then go to your pc and type-
Code:
adb shell
Code:
pm uninstall -k --user0 com.google.android.apps.magazines
Then press enter.
Now Google News will be uninstalled.
(I tested this, And also used this various apps, They work fine. Your OTA will not break and the apps will not come back after an system update also)
Cheers

Nokia's drivers are the only ones you need to install.
Yes, Using this ADB method will not uninstall this app from the system rather it disables the app for you. But this disabled app will not come back unless you want it too, Not even after OTA.

Honestly speaking, in New to using ADB... But knew sp flash tool and I had thought that both are similar but not.
Are Nokia drivers are same as Google drivers?
Can you share me the step by step procedure is you enough time now, sir?
I just downloaded latest usb driver from developer.android.com
Hey Guys let me tell you I do get automatic installation (via Google Play) for the Google News app (yes frustrating ) but what I did is uninstalled updates emptied it's data and forced stop / disabled it.
As of this comment I do get automatic installation request via Google Play but Google News doesn't updates. This worked for me.
