LG G4 not recognised by Android Studio

Question

I just got the LG G4 phone, turned on developer options mode, tried running an app from Android Studio but it can't recognise my phone. I even tried switching from MTP to PTP but still it's not recognised. I tried a lot of resources out there, still nothing. Please can anyone help?

Answer 1

switched USB options from MTP to PTP. when you try to switch it will ask to install drivers then clicked on Install ....now you can debug your app on device

Answer 2

Try tap "adb devices" in shell window( or command window) 1) if still nothing displayed, it must be not related to studio, please check whether drivers is properly installed or register in system(Different system has different methods). 2) if displayed like "0b63d5xxxxxxxxxx device", it should be studio's problem, check view option or reinstall android studio.

Answer 3

You have to activate developer mode for your device.

Answer 4

Here's what I had to do:

1. Install the LG Mobile Drivers: http://lg.com/us/lgeai/drivers (latest at the time of writing: here)
2. Disable USB debugging if currently enabled (this was key for me)
3. Enable USB debugging
4. Plug into computer
5. Allow USB debugging when prompted (will show RSA fingerprint, check "always allow").
6. Trust the computer when prompted (allow access)
7. Switch to PTP
8. Install USB driver when prompted
9. Wait for the driver to finish installing on your PC

adb devices should show your phone now. If you don't get some of the prompts above, try unplugging and re-plugging your device. Also try different USB ports on your machine.

Answer 5

Check your phone, it will ask to install driver on PC. Afterwards android studio will see your phone

Answer 6

I had same problem. I was checking Developer Options after plugging USB cable, the USB Debugging option was unchecked and grayed out while cable plugged. I unplugged USB cable, checked USB Debugging option and plugged USB cable again, it worked.
