Android Question No Device Found - Please Use B4A Bridge

[Krammig]

Connecting my Samsung Note 3 and hitting Connect I get the message ;

No Device Found - Please Use B4A Bridge etc etc

However using a Xiaomi Redmi Note3 Pro it works fine.

Appreciate any thoughts.

cheers

Are you running B4A-Bridge on your device?

 

[Krammig]

No I'm not.

Just running B4A as is. Withthe Xiaomi Note 3 it is working fine as is. However not so with both the Samsung Note 3 or Motorola 5g Plus which I have just tried earlier.

I tried again starting the B4A-Bridge manually but I still get same message

Did you connect the Device using USB Cable?
Did you enabled USB Debugging in the device?

 

[Krammig]

Thanks for the reply.

Yes connected via USB cable and Yes both phones were in Developer mode. Just confirmed again with the Samsung Note 3

You need to run B4A-Bridge on the device and then connect the IDE with Tools - B4A-Bridge - Connect.

Thanks will try that.

Given the Xiaomi works without the need to do this, I assume it is something to do with the Phone model (hardware) or the Manufacturers version of Android ?

thanks

I'm having the same issue with HTC 10. Other phones I have work fine. The referenced tutorial and B4A bridge is only beneficial over WiFi. The issue is over USB. I've been struggling ever since I got this phone. I have drivers, USB Debugging is enabled.

 

[Erel]

B4A-Bridge is an alternative to USB debug mode. The reason that it was created is that not all devices support USB debug mode and in some cases even if the devices support it, it is difficult to find the correct driver.

Installing the driver for the correct phone fixes this problem. For ex, if you use samsung, type: "samsung usb drivers for windows" and install it. it fixes the problem.
