Running Android 2.2 on a Galaxy S. Host is an OS X 10.6.4 machine. DDMS in Eclipse reports no devices being connected. adb devices -- nothing.

I've tried:

  1. Rebooting the phone
  2. Toggling the USB development mode
  3. Plugging/unplugging the cable
  4. Restarting the server (adb kill-server).

The weird thing is that sometimes computer will not detect the phone being attached (no growl notification, not syslog entries) and sometimes it will. Other android devices work.

Do you guys have any ideas what else I could try or is this a lost cause?

Thanks
