Question

I’ve got Windows 8 and I’ve get Eclipse installed. I tried to run an application on my phone, HTC Sensation, but Eclipse doesn’t find it. When I press the run button, it says: “No compatible targets were found. Do you wish to a add new android virtual device?” But when I connect Samsung Galaxy S3 to computer, it magically works! But sadly, that is not my phone. It must work on Sensation. Oh, and on Windows 7, it was working perfectly.

As far.. I tried a lot of thing, but nothing worked.

• I tried to install the newest HTC Sync, doesn’t work.
• I tried to reboot my phone, ADB and Eclipse, but doesn’t work.
• I tried to run HTC Sync (HTC Sync doesn’t recognize Sensation too) in compatibility mode in Windows 7, and I tried to run it as administrator, but it doesn’t work.
• I searched the web, but nothing helps…
• In device Maneger, under “Other Devices” it is “Android phone”, but there is yellow triangle, and anything I click… nothing helps.

Also, I can browse and copy files to SD card on my phone. So Windows DOES recognize my phone!
But before, when i had Windows 7, everything works perfectly!

Some things you can try:

• Install USBDeview to unregister the drivers and install them again
• Use another USB port/cable. Some people have problems with the front ports of the pc, or with USB3 ports. Also, a low quality cable can cause your phone to connect and disconnect over and over again.
