Hey everyone, I’m having trouble getting my Sony Xperia Miro to show up in Eclipse for app testing. When I connect other phones like HTC models, they work perfectly fine for debugging. The Xperia Miro connects to my computer without any issues - I can browse files, transfer data, and sync normally. But when I try to run my Android applications on it through Eclipse, the device just doesn’t appear in the list. The emulator works great, but I really need to test on actual hardware. Has anyone faced this problem before? What drivers or settings am I missing? Any help would be awesome!
The Xperia Miro requires a specific sequence to get ADB functioning correctly. First, enable USB debugging, then navigate to developer options and revoke USB debugging authorizations. Unplug and reconnect your phone; it should prompt you regarding the RSA key fingerprint, at which point ensure you select ‘always allow.’ If Eclipse still does not recognize the device, try restarting ADB by executing ‘adb kill-server’ followed by ‘adb start-server’ in the command prompt. This approach resolved detection issues I encountered with various Sony devices when the standard drivers were ineffective.
had this issue b4! make sure usb debugging is turned on in dev options. also, using another usb cable helped me out - might sound odd, but the one i was using for file transfers didn’t work with adb.
I had the same problem with older Sony devices a few years ago when I was developing apps. Sony’s PC Companion software was usually the culprit - it messes with ADB communication. Install Sony’s official PC Companion or Bridge for Mobile, then completely restart Eclipse. Sony devices often need their specific drivers (that come with their software) for debugging to work properly, even when file transfers work fine with generic drivers. Also run ‘adb devices’ from command line to see if your device shows up - that’ll tell you whether it’s an Eclipse config issue or a system-level driver problem.
Ensure you have the correct Sony ADB drivers, as the generic MTP drivers installed by Windows won’t facilitate ADB debugging. You can find the appropriate drivers on Sony’s developer page or through the Android SDK manager. Additionally, try toggling your phone’s USB connection mode between MTP and PTP with USB debugging enabled on your device; Eclipse can be particular about the mode. Lastly, verify that the Android version of your phone is compatible with the SDK tools you’re using in Eclipse.
check if ur xperia miro shows up in device manager when u plug it in. win sometimes auto-installs the wrong drivers. if there’s a yellow warning triangle, manually update the driver and point it to ur android sdk folder. this fixed the same issue on my old sony when eclipse wouldn’t detect it.
