When I plug my Galaxy S6 Edge into my computer, Android Studio does not recognize it as an available USB device. I've tried to download a USB Driver update and I have USB Debugging checked on my phone, but nothing is working. What else do I need to do in order to run my app on my phone?

If your settings (S6 USB debugging, driver, Android Studio) are correct, you might try the following:

  • (On phone) turn USB Debugging OFF
  • Connect S6 to USB
  • Click on the notification "connected as MTP device", check the option "camera" (also appropriate for non-MTP connection)
  • turn USB Debugging back ON

If your device runs Android 6, the notification (step 3 above) should say "Use USB for" and offer 4 choices. You want to click on "Transferring Images".
