I'm trying to run my app while debugging on my Nexus 7, but it always loads in the AVDs instead of on the tablet.
Here's my checklist of things I've done:
Went into the settings on the Nexus 7 and enabled USB Debugging.
Installed the official ASUS Nexus 7 drivers. When I connect it to my PC, Windows 7 64 bit pops up and says the Nexus 7 is connected and the drivers loaded successfully.
Connected it to my PC (Windows 7 64 bit) and it pops up and saying the Nexus 7 is connected and the drivers loaded successfully.
However Eclipse doesn't detect it at all. The app loads the AVD instead of it. And if I go to Run As->Run Configurations->Target, it's not listed. If I select Launch on all Compatible Devices/AVDs and choose Active Devices and then try to run, I get the error "No active compatible AVD's or devices found. Relaunch this configuration after connecting a device or starting an AVD".
The app is set to be compatible with Android 4.1.
Suggestions?
The only way I've ever gotten it to work is switching the 7 from a media device to a camera.

Strange. Unfortunately it still doesn't work for me. Same symptoms. Thanks though! Any other ideas?
I found I had to fiddle with the drivers a bit to get the proper adb connection. Check Device Manager and make sure it shows up under Android Phone->Android ADB Interface. If you see anything else you'll need to uninstall the offending driver and reinstall.

Ehhh...Crap. You're right. Device Manager shows Other Devices -> Nexus with a caution sign on it. Weird cause when I plug it in it'll ask me if I want to transfer photos and it'll mount it as a drive and everything....grrrrrr. This might be annoying.
I'm trying to remember exactly what I did to get the right driver to install. I think you need to uninstall the all drivers being used and then make sure that USB debugging is turned on in the Nexus before plugging it back in. I used the Wugfresh toolkit which includes tools to check what drivers are lurking around in your system.
Finally got it. Turned out, the driver files were no good. I got them from a link to Asus's site from another thread. I googled their site for different driver files and found the correct ones:
http://www.asus.com/Tablet/Nexus/Nexus_7/#download
It should be a zip file with USB in the title.
Thanks for the help!

I can confirm this, I switched it from MTP to PTP and installed the driver, and everything is working now. It's showing up in the ADB list.

Download the asus drivers and extract the zip file. Plug in your Nexus 7. Go to Device Manager -> the device (might be listed as an android device) -> Update driver. Browse to the extracted folder.
On the Nexus 7, make sure USB debugging is enabled. And, when it connects, change it from being connected as a media device to instead being a camera device.
Thanks. I ended up being able to do it with the one click root program it helped me get the drivers super happy. Now my galaxy nexus and nexus 7 are rooted. Haven't had something rooted since my Samsung galaxy s fascinate

Been at this fir 3 days. Installed, uninstalled drivers. Got ASUS drivers. Switched from Debugging on to off, then off to on. used Camera, used Media....The closest I come to seeing Nexus7 in Explorer or Computer is INTERNAL STORAGE/DCIM OR CAMERA.
I am unable to see any files, no matter what I do. So, now I must ask this: Must I be rooted to see android files? I doubt it, but I never used a Nexus before. Quite frankly, this tablet is awful for use with a PC. I need help-can u help me, pls.

Can I ask for your help guys? My Nexus 7 v1 is stuck on boot loop (either stuck on google screen or sometimes would proceed up to the nexus animation screen) and I've been trying to fix it with the Nexus Root Toolkit (NRT). I just have problem proceeding with the steps since the toolkit advices me to enable my device's USB DEBUGGING (open device , go to settings, then developer options etc) which I CANNOT POSSIBLY DO COS AGAIN, NEXUS IS JUST STUCKED ON BOOT LOOP.
Can you suggest OTHER ways I can enable USB Debugging in Nexus 7? I would greatly appreciate your help.

Hi,
Just got a Nexus 4, had a Galaxy S2 before. The problem is that I can't get it to be recognized in Windows 7 x64. Nothing really happens, I plug it, it starts to charge but nothing more, no icon appearing at device manager etc. Tried to install the drivers via nexus 4 toolkit and nothing changed, tried on another windows 7, a notebook and its the same. Changed the USB cable, no difference. Charging and nothing more.
I searched on internet and found similar issues but didn't find a solutions.
PS: Its a new phone, never unlocked or rooted.
Works here dude download latest android SDK and go to device manger on computer update drivers

Installed the toolkit, folowed the instructions but the problem still there. The problem is that when I connect the phone I don't get the "connect to usb" familiar sound but the charging starts. So is not that the drivers are wrong or bad, the problem is that is that the phone doesn't even shows as something in device manager.
Go to your phone settings.... then click on about phone....
then scroll down and hit the "build number 10 times" that will unlock the developer menu
then go back to "about phone" scroll down to the developer menu.
then check box for "usb debugging" and the computer will see the phone.
Had this problem too the first time i got my Nexus 4.
It frustrated me for the first couple of hours when i could'nt connect it to my pc, and no solution seems to work.
However, i found the solution. This was: Install the latest version of Windows Media Player.
This phone uses MTP, instead of mass storage, and thus needs WMP.

I have the latestes WMP version and anyway, I have a digital camera that works in MTP in this same PC.
This is becoming short of solutions and I beginning to think maybe its a nexus 4 hardware fault.
turn them both off and on again
I have this same problem and haven't found a solution yet!
I have this problem only when USB Debugging isn't turned on. I'm not sure what's wrong with it but by computer (running W8 Pro) won't see my phone until I turn on debugging. All drivers are installed but the only way I can copy files to/from my N4 is with debugging enabled.
Would love to see a solution come through and I'll continue looking for one myself to help us all out.
-Sent from that.... you know.... thing that sends these things-
Same issue.
I have tried over 5 computers running windows 7 and about 5 different usb cables.
I have tried having usb debugging checked, unchecked, MTP on/off and PTP on/off.
Still nothing.
Im having this problem too. I tried in 4 different pc's and a mac. My nexus 4 cant be detected. Its just charging. Weird thing is that no "Charging (USB)" on my lock screen just "Charging"
i had the same problem and read everysingle forum and finally found the working solution
Device Manager - right click device (Android ADB OR Nexus 4 ADB interface)
- Update Driver Software
- Browse my computer for driver software
- Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer
- then choose "MTP USB Device" OR "USB composite driver"
- Next
here you go instant discovery
make sure you are on MTP and USB debugging is on

Windows 7. It worked fine for me before the 4.3 update.
Guys, I know i am repeating again the question but despite reading 15-20 posts and uncountable articles, I am still not able to get my nexus 7 working with the Windows XP SP3.
1) To start with, I downloaded the google drivers from ASUS and the MTP Porting Kit from microsoft.When i plug in the device with USB Debugging on, Windows shows 3 new devices- NEXUS 7 & Android ADB Interface.. and ofcourse Windows XP can not find the drivers for any. So i open the device manager and it shows Nexus 7 under unidentified devices. I install the drivers for ADB interface (the ones i downloaded from Asus) and the device becomes ready to use. But there is no option to browse the device from my computer or portable devices. Then i switch the debugging on, and now there is a new device- MTP under unidentified devices. Then i install the MTP Porting Kit, but the MTP device still shows a problem with the driver.
2) The second part of the problem is that all this did not work and even my WMP11 does not recognise the Nexus 7.
The device is just connected and charging!!! What am i doing wrong here???

I had a lot of problems myself getting Windows XP to work with my Nexus 7 as well... eventually I discovered that installing the latest version of Windows Media Player fixed the problem.
I wrote up a post on this issue on another forum (Sorry, XDA - this was before I discovered you guys), back in December of last year.
Anyway, here is my original post...
http://www.nexus7nexus10.com/forum/nexus-7-help/2600-cannot-connect-pc-2.html#post36608
(Actually, this whole thread is worth reading.)
The only nuisance factor is having to remember to re-enable USB debugging (Titanium Backup needs USB debugging enabled, and complains if itsn't) AFTER I've run some MTP Windows XP related file backups (USB debugging needs to be disabled, or MTP won't work)...
....or at least that is my experience.
Hope this is of some use.

Hello guys,
I have the same issue on windows XP with Nexus 7. I tried everything what was suggested and nothing is working.
I have Windows XP SP3 with WMP11 and MTP porting kit installed as well. the device is recognized and driver is instaled fine. But it's not visible on "my computer" in MTP mode. I tried to turn on usb debugging and still device is invisible in windows explorer, the same is when usb debugging is turoned off.
When device is in PTP mode it appears in "my computer" and i'm able to browse it and see all pictures and photos.
How can i browse my device in MTP mode and copy files there? Please reply if anybody knows what to do to fix this issue.
Thank you.

Recently got a 2012 Nexus 7 from a retailer selling this model with updated Android at very attractive price, and initially able to connect to computer so promptly rooted the device with the Nexus Root Toolkit from Wugfresh Development (in this forum), afterwards had same problems with not being able to read / transfer files.
Tried every fix I could find in other threads, and although device manager saying that connected as 'ADB Device' with debugging on, or 'Google Nexus 7 ADB Device' with MTP on and debugging off, still stuck with no access.
Looking closer at the MTP configuration ('Google Nexus 7 ADB Device') under device manager noticed that details listed manufacturer as 'ClockWorkMod' , and eventually that this originated within a Windows\Inf file titled 'oem60'.
I cut and pasted the 'oem60' file to another directory (to keep it safe just in case this upset something else) then on reconnecting the Nexus 7 as MPT with debugging off, device manager found and installed the correct driver at last. Now able to see and transfer files to / from it.
Presumably could alter the relevant lines in the 'oem60' file, which aren't hard to find, and put it back to original directory, but my other devices also working fine so not done so as yet.

I just got a brand new Nexus 7 and I went to root it with the nexus 7 toolkit. Long story short the Nexus's serial number would not show up under the attatched devices.
I have tried uninstalling the driver, reinstalling both the driver provided by the nexus 7 toolkit and asus. Neither work. Interestingly eclipse will not connect either.
Device manager shows the adb interference as working however adb will not return a connected device.
I also tried putting the nexus into ptp mode and using adb even though I did not do that with my previous nexus 7. When the Nexus is in PTP mode device manager will not allow me to install drivers for the adb interference. Which is odd since I thought if I installed adb drivers once I wouldn't have to again.
EDIT: I should also add that adb in fastboot and stock recovery works. I was able to try reflashing the device with a stock nexus 7 ROM but it didn't work. Still couldn't connect to abd while android was booted. Also I noticed that my old nexus has both mtp and adb available at the same time. However the new nexus only allows one or the other. E.g. I can't access the files system while adb is enabled and vice versa.
Do you guys have any idea why this is happening? My old nexus works fine.

I forgot I made this thread. I have since since solved the issue and have both mtp and adb at the same time with this particular nexus 7.
First of all installing new drivers on my windows 7 installation was causing a problem. So I backed up and reinstalled. However, while that solved other problems it did not solve my issues with the Nexus.
After a lot of fiddling I finally got it to work by using the official google usb driver. http://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html
Now here's the thing. I discovered that windows treated each combination of adb+mtp or adb+ptp, adb alone, mtp alone, and ptp as a seperate device. So while they all might use the same driver windows considered them different devices.
So basically what I did was install google's driver whenever a combination of usb modes did not work correctly. So in adb+mtp (which is what I really want to be able to use) I went to device manager found my nexus 7 under android devices or whatever it is called and installed the the official google driver. It proceeded to tell me there was an error but then it proceeded to work perfectly. The error may have been just my computer acting up because of all the drivers I'd been installing/uninstalling trying to get this to work.
Also, when you go into device manager and try to install the usb driver you typically right click on the device, select update driver and then click search computer, browse to the folder containing the driver and install. Sometimes that would fail for me, windows would say I already had an updated driver. Thankfully I did find a workaround that forces windows to install the driver you want to install no matter what.
When you get to the part where you browse your computer for the driver click let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer. Then there should be a button that says I have the disk. Click on that browse to the folder with drivers, say yes to any warnings and continue.
If the I have a disk button does not appear and instead a list of possible manufacturers or devices shows up just click on one of the entries. Then the I have the disk button should appear.
The danger with forcing windows to install the driver you want is that you can install any driver for anything and possibly damage something.
Hope this helps!
Hello, I am trying to connect my nexus 4 to my computer to put some music on. This used to work, but now it is being detected as an unknown device.

What OS are you using? Windows? Mac? A linux distro?
Also, are you sure you're using MTP instead of PTP (Settings > Storage > menu > Usb Computer Connection) ?
You can try to install google's drivers from the android sdk as well.

I know this is a silly thing to ask, but have you tried rebooting your phone? Something like this happened to me before and a reboot fixed it.
Also, if you have a custom kernel, check that you have USB fast charge disabled. And after that fails, try installing google's drivers. Sorry, I'm just spouting out random ideas at this point.

Use trickster mod and go to the Kernel Specific page. If fast charge is ticked off, there's not much we can do from there.

Hmm I am in the trickster mod on the kernel specific screen, but I don't see anything about USB fast charge Where might I get googles drivers? I can't seem to install any drivers because as soon as I uninstall the unknown device, it auto installs some drivers.
Thanks for the help!

So I tried installing the newest Franco kernel Milestone (3), and the USB fast charge is off. I also tried installing a different CM mod, but there is no difference. I also tried installing the universal you gave me, but that didn't work, and i installed the google driver from SDK and that didn't work.
I don't know what else to do...
Hi, try to completly unninstall ALL drivers for nexus, samsung or android related, than install official drivers for nexus 4 and then connect nexus 4. Should work.

I tried that, no luck...I don't know what else to do, I have tried 3 different cables. I tried using the drivers that come with the nexus 4 toolkit, but no luck. It charges when plugged in, but i get nothing else. Also it seems like half the time its not even in the device manager as an unrecognized device, and then it intermittently pops up a window saying unrecognized device detected... maybe my USB port is broken on the phone?
Is there something simple I have overlooked to get 4.2.2 to work with my computer?

Have you managed to solve this? I'm facing almost the same problem!
No, I tried for hours with no luck. I am glad I am not the only one, hopefully a solution will come to us. I have been using airdroid to transfer files from my phone in the mean time.
Im also having the same issue except my computer only recognizes my phone when its connected as a camera.

I am having a similar problem with my daughter's Nexus 4 phone, which is not rooted nor unlocked - it is still completely stock. It was just updated to Android 4.3, however I can't say that this is the cause of the problem because she never attempted to connect her phone to the desktop machine before.
I have a Windows 7 x64 box at home, and spent over two hours last night trying to get the computer to correctly recognize the Nexus 4 phone. I was hoping that the standard MTP Windows driver would handle it perfectly, but no luck. I tried the Google usb drivers, and the ADB interface was recognized, but still no access to the internal storage. I then gave the Naked Drivers a try, and no joy there either.
I am beginning to suspect that the MTP drivers on my desktop are munged, but do not relish the thought of a Win 7 wipe and reinstall.
Anyone else have any ideas?
Thanks much!
I am having a similar problem where I have USB storage set to MTP and Windows doesn't pick it up, whereas PTP Windows will pick up but I can't access any folders other than the camera related folders like DCIM.
So my workaround is doing it the old fashioned way through CMD in windows using adb push.
Example:
Assuming you have all the stuff you want to transfer in a folder called stuff, adb is located in C:\adb, and your folder known as stuff is also in C:\adb:
C:\adb>adb push stuff /data/media/0
The above command starting from the ">" will transfer all files in the folder called stuff to the root of /sdcard. In the N4, /sdcard is symbolically linked to /data/media/0.
Of course you need USB debugging enabled for this to work...
Device Manager (Hopefully this helps)
In the start menu type device manager, in that window you should see android and or something similar at the top. You want to drop the menu down and right click what should say Google ADB Interface and delete it, make sure you check the confirmation box. After reboot your computer! Once booted plug your phone in a viola!!!
I'm having a similar issue.
I can open device manager but there in no Android anything listed. All that comes up when I plug my phone in is 'unrecognized usb device'. I have 5 different cable I have tired. The OS will only bring up the usb error in a USB 3.0 port. It will not do anything if I use the 2.0 port.
I have gone and tried to manually update the drivers through the device manager but when I select the drivers from Android SKD or any of the other driver packs I get an error that it is not a x64 driver.
I found one suggestion about modding the driver to include the device but windows will not even recognize the device other than a unknown usb.
I'm going to have a bricked computer soon. Any help would be appreciated.

First, Google universal naked drivers xda. Try those. If they don't work go into device manager and go to where it says let me choose drivers from my computer. Then look for the android composite adb interface.
If you're on win 8 you'll need to allow unsigned drivers. Google how to do that

Windows 7x64 on all machines. I am trying this on 2 work computers and getting the same result. I have 2 issues that I think are the root of the issue.
#1 is the phone doesn't do anything in USB debug mode. I keep seeing references to having to approve the computer connection but I haven't seen that yet. I have tired 9 usb ports. 6 on my main computer will not bring anything, not even the usb drive. 3 on the labtop will only bring up a 'unrecognized usb drive'.
#2 is the computer will not recognize the device in anything other than a 'unrecognized usb drive' (UUD). Everyone keeps mentioning the Android Composite ADB interface. It's not there, it doesn't show up or as an option. I can go into the device manager and find the UUD and try and update the driver via the manual method with a disk but it doesn't list any type of hardware that is related to Android or ADB.

Hello,
"#1 is the phone doesn't do anything in USB debug mode." This is normal!
How I experienced the USB debugging option is that, if turned ON:
1. The Nexus does not appear in my Windows env
2. BUT when in recovery mode, I can use the "adb" commands
If USB debugging turned OFF:
1. Then I CAN see the Nexus in my Windows env
2. BUT I cannot use the "adb" commands in recovery mode.
So you definitely need to have the USB debugging option turned off if you want to see your nexus in Windows, IMO

I think you really have an issue with the drivers. I would install the Google USB drivers. Maybe a bit heavy but then you can be sure that drivers are fine:
http://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html
so I got the latest Universal Naked Drivers 0.73 zip file, extraced it to its own folder on my desktop, and then I opened device manager, went to Other Devices>Nexus 4, right clicked, uninstalled, restarted my laptop and nexus 4, and then opened device manager again, and this time clicked on Update Drivers for nexus 4, and when I select browse files on my computer, then I click that folder, which has two sub folders in it, one for AMD64 and then i386, and there is also some other files in the main folder, outside the subfolders, called androidwinusba64 and androidwinusb86, as well as two more called android_apxusb and android_winusb.
But When i click on the main folder so it searched through that and the two subfolders, it keeps saying it's not finding any drivers for my device, and i've tried clicking on each of the sub folders, and neither of those make it work either. I've done what every guide has shown me, which I've installed drives hundreds of times in my 27years of life, and I have never had a problem before. Especially not with Android devices. I can't get my brand new 16gb nexus 4 that i just got yesterday (got it while I wait for Tmobile to get the Nex5 in stock, and then I am switching them out) to show up under my computer as a media device so I can actually drop files onto it. I dont get what the issue is here. I know that the 4.3 update (which I updated to last night when i first powered on my phone and activated it) cause some driver issues from what i've read, but supposedly they have been fixed or whatever, and this Naked Driver is supposed to help as well. But getting them installed first would work better lol. everytime I plug the phone in, it tries to install the drivers itself, but it keeps failing for some reason. Any thoughts on how to proceed ?
It's ADB driver, you need to enable USB Debugging. If you are using Windows 8, reboot it into advance mode and disable driver signature checking.

i already know all that lol I've been modding for quite a few years, so I know all about USB debugging, thanks tho. That's definitely not the problem. I can get the phone to work with ADB no problem, but I can't get it to show up as a media device like its supposed to when i have that selected in the USB mode options.
Oh, and I am sorry, I shoulda clarified, I am on Win 7. I already read about the Windows 8 thing tho. Which I got a copy of Win8, so I do plan on upgrading soon, check it out see what its like. But I just gto a new copy of Ubuntu, so I've been playing around with that a lot lately.
Anyone ? I have tried so many different things and Just can't get it to work, bout to chuck my laptop out the window lol
I can't speak for the naked drivers as I have never used them, but the ones that come with the SDK work fine with Win 7 on Android 4.3 (Copy and pasting files with Windows Explorer, adb, fastboot, etc.).
Did you resolve your issue? If not you should try to run "Usb Tree View" and make sure your phone internal USB switch is set to PDA and not MODEM or BOTH etc. I don't know how that works for the Nex4 but its a thing to look at.
