Hey everyone,
I’m having trouble getting Eclipse to detect my Sony Xperia Miro for Android app testing. It’s frustrating because I can test on HTC devices without any issues. The emulator works fine too, but I really need to test on this specific phone.
The weird thing is, my computer recognizes the Xperia for other stuff like accessing the SD card and syncing. But when it comes to debugging my app, it’s like the phone doesn’t exist.
I’ve tried looking for solutions online, but no luck so far. Has anyone else run into this problem with Sony devices? Any tips or tricks would be super helpful.
Thanks for any advice you can give!
yo, had the same issue with my xperia. try installing sony pc companion software, it sometimes helps with driver issues. also, check if ur phone is in mtp mode when connected. if nothing works, maybe try a different usb port or cable. these sony phones can be finicky af
I’ve been through this headache with Sony devices before. One thing that often gets overlooked is the USB debugging authorization. Even with USB debugging enabled, you might need to authorize your computer on the phone itself. When you connect the phone, look for a pop-up on the Xperia asking to allow USB debugging for that specific computer.
Another trick that worked for me was clearing the USB debugging authorizations on the phone and starting fresh. Go to Developer Options, scroll down to ‘Revoke USB debugging authorizations’ and tap it. Then disconnect and reconnect your phone.
If all else fails, try using Android Studio instead of Eclipse. I switched a while back and found it handles device detection much better, especially with newer phones. It might be worth giving it a shot if you’re still stuck.
hey man, i had similar issues with my xperia. try enabling usb debugging in developer options if u havent already. also, make sure u got the right sony drivers installed on ur pc. sometimes its just a matter of unplugging and replugging the phone a few times. good luck!
I encountered a similar issue with my Sony device. Have you checked if ADB recognizes your phone? Open a command prompt and run ‘adb devices’ to see if it’s listed. If not, try updating your Android SDK platform-tools. Also, ensure you’re using a high-quality USB cable; some cables only support charging, not data transfer. Lastly, verify that your phone’s USB configuration is set to ‘File Transfer’ or ‘MTP’ mode. These steps resolved the detection problem for me in Eclipse.
