My LG G3 is not appearing in the device list for android studio. I'm on ASUS n550jk with Windows 10.

Things I have done:

  • USB Debugging Mode
  • Media sync(MTP)
  • Camera (PTP)
  • Google USB Drivers from Android SDK Manager
  • LG USB Drivers
  • Switching USB ports
  • Restarting PC

Nothing has worked. I got it to work a few months ago on Windows 8.1, but I can't remember what I did.

As on Android 6.0 device & Windows 10 this worked for me. Steps 1 & 2 before attaching phone to computer.

1) Activate developers settings (Settings -> General -> About phone -> Software info -> Press 7 times "Build number" button). After that it says "Now you are an developer".

2) Go back to General settings and press "Developer options". After that find option "USB debugging" and tick that box. USB debugging

3) Attach phone to the computer via USB. Phone will ask "Allow this computer to access your phone data" "Allow". After that you should have "Tap for more USB options" -notification. Choose "Send images (PTP)"

Create "Hello World" -project as an test and try to to select deployment target again.
