Question

I have a simple camera app I’m trying to push to my phone, but HTC sync (Thunderbolt on Verizon) simply will not recognize the device. I believe this is the reason I can’t get the phone to accept the APK. All my drivers, project, and sdk manager and plugin are updated and I reinstalled HTC sync just to be sure. I also enabled usb debugging and unknown sources

I believe the Thunderbolt connectivity issues also destabilize the eclipse plugin. I get hung randomly during Android functionality in eclipse (like simply loading DDMS or a Run Configuration).

As a result, I’m trying to find a way to work around having to use HTC sync to push my app there.

I developed with a HTC Desire some weeks ago and it worked without problems.

You shouldn’t need HTC sync. Have you tried to use the google usb driver as described here?

Whats the output when you call adb devices from commandline? If everything worked correctly you should see the device id of your phone.

Sometimes the following can help if adb does not recognize your device:

• adb kill-server to stop the adb process
• Use the task manager to make sure no other adb process is running (stop them with the task manager)
• restart adb server by calling adb devices
