Eclipse Android SDK cannot see new Samsung Galaxy S4 device via a USB connection


From within the GS4 I have enabled the allow "unknown sources" for installation of applications, though the "allow debug" checkbox doesn't seem to be included anymore.

It should be in Developer Options. If your device is running Android 4.2, Developer Options is hidden by default. To enable it:

  • Go into Settings > About

  • Tap on the Build Number entry seven times (Toasts will appear to help you keep count)

  • Press BACK, and Developer Options should be in the Settings list


You may use an old version of adb.exe. Update platform-tools.You may have to set a new path to adb.exe as well.
