Answer 1

Due to some reason sometimes adb gets disconnected, so in that case you have to reset the adb.

Go to DDMS->Devices and you will see reset adb option in View Menu besides Screen Capture option.

Answer 2

Another way to restart the adb is through terminal or command line. Depending on if you have adb in your path just type:

$ adb kill-server

$ adb start-server

If adb is not in your path then:

$ path-to-sdk/platform-tools/adb kill-server

$ path-to-sdk/platform-tools/adb start-server

Hope this helps!

Answer 3

In preferences change the android/DDMS log settings from "error" to "debug". After this you should be able to use the Reset adb option.

Answer 4

Loose connection of the cable connecting the device i hope.

Answer 5

Go to DDMS->Devices and you will see restart adb option in View Menu besides Screen Capture option.
