I have Android Studio on Windows 8.1 and I want to run my android app on my Samsung Galaxy S7 phone.

Here are the details:

  1. USB debugging in my phone is ON
  2. adb version is 1.0.36
  3. Under Device Manger -> Portable Devices -> My Phone, the status is 'The device is working properly'
  4. I also installed Google USB driver in SDK Tools
  5. My desktop can detect my phone since I can read and write files using Windows Explorer

I tried the following but still, adb devices still does not recognize my phone.

  1. Tried USB Configuration MTP
  2. Tried USB Configuration PTP
  3. Tried using different USB cables
  4. Tried restarting Android Studio before and after I plug my device to my desktop

Did I miss any configuration? Any help is appreciated!

Thanks!
