LG G3 device not recognized by Eclipse on Windows


See update below


I found the answer that worked for me.

When you plug in the phone, bring down the status shade, pick the USB item ("USB connected") then, from there, pick "Internet connection" -- I chose Ethernet, but I'm not sure the choice matters on the dialog that pops up..

This enables USB debugging to become active; leaving it on Charging, MTP, or PTP does not work.

Once you do this, you can follow @Siddharth's steps to setting the ADB drivers, if needed. (You may need to use the actual LG drivers and not the Google drivers, but once I got this far, it was just like any other phone.)

Caveat

For me, even after going through this once, I still get the "installer" first and then have got go in and choose the "Internet connection" again. But, at least it works.


Update 10 Dec 2014

A recent firmware update has, indeed, removed the "Internet connection" as an option. Instead, PTP now works. I still get the "Connected as an installer" notification every time I plug in the phone and have to click on the notification then click on "Camera (PTP)" -- or wait about a minute. It's slightly better than what It was.

Also note: When this change occurred I had to install the drivers again for the phone, since it comes up as a different type of device when "Camera (PTP)" is chosen than when I used the "Internet connection" option.


For me, this has solved the problem: simply go to LG's website, http://www.lg.com/us/support/software-manuals, select the model (I have selected 'D850') and go to Software Updates tab where you can download the driver. I have installed it and then Eclipse recognized my device. I'm working on Windows 8.1, by the way.

After a lot of searching and trying all solutions still I couldn't connect my LG G3 to eclipse on mac. Finally I find this solution, it works for me hope for you works too:

  1. Install LG USB driver for mac

  2. Go and enable developer mode in your G3 (Setting->About phone (in General Tab)--> Software information --> Tap 8 times on Build Number) then you will see the message which says the Developer option is enabled

  3. In this step you expect that after connecting your mobile via USB cable, the Eclipse detect it But for me it didn't happen

  4. in this step you need to go (Setting--> Developer Options--> and turn off this option from above green (on/off) switch then again switch on this option from same place (If you don't do this step the "USB Debugging" mode will stay fray and you can not enable it)

  5. In Developer Options menu scroll down until find the "USB Debugging" then tic it and enable it.

  6. almost finished , you should back and configure running mode for your application and see the G3 in your connected usb devices
