Android Question Two identical devices, only one at a time can adb connect

[MikeH]

Has anyone else found this:

Supposing you have two identical phones, same make, model etc connected to adb. Shouldnt they both be able to go into debug mode? I thought every phone had a unique id and that is how adb addresses them.

I have two ZTE Kis phones. either can connect into debug mode if only that phone is physically plugged in to usb but not if they are connected at the same time, then only one works.

I also have a ZTE Blade and a Nexus 7 connected, they work fine.

Both phones are charging so I know the physical connection is good. I suspect adb - anyone now how to get them both working as you would expect?


Thanks,
Mike.

You can connect one of them with B4A-Bridge.

Thanks Erel. I thought of that and also adbwifi.

I`d really like to use adb directly then I dont have to go through the menus each time I compile.

do they both have the same id? I have seen a few devices with id 1234567890, If they are same then no way for adb to distinguish.

It seems both (all?) Zte Kis are called P752E. Is it possible to change what its called?
