Do following steps to detect your device in eclipse : -

On Mobile Side:- For Connect USB sync, your Android device needs to have USB Debugging enabled.

To enable Android USB Debugging Mode do following steps :-

Android 2.x - 3.x devices:

Go to Settings > Application > Development > USB Debugging.

Android 4.x devices:

Go to Settings > Developer Options > USB Debugging.

For devices running Android 4.2.2 or later, you may need to unlock Developer Options before it is available within the Menu:

Go to Android home screen.
Pull down the notification bar.
Tap "Settings"
Tap "About Device"
Tap on the "Build Number" button about 7 times.
Developer Mode should now be unlocked and available in Settings > More > Developer Options or in Settings > Developer Options

On PC side

Connect your device to the PC with USB cable.
Download Google USB Driver
Extract/Unzip “latest_usb_driver_windows.zip” file on your computer (using 7-zip free software, preferably)
Open device manager on your PC
- Windows 7 & 8 users ? search for Device Manager from Start (or Start screen) and click to open.
- Windows XP users ? Google it
You will see list of all devices attached to your computer in the device manager. Just find your device (it’ll most probably be in the Other devices list with a yellow exclamation mark by the name of ADB devices), then Right-click on it and select Update Driver Software.
Select “Browse my computer for driver software” in the next window
Now click the “Browse…” button and select the “usb_driver” folder that we extracted in Step 3 from “latest_usb_driver_windows.zip” file.
Do NOT select the zip file, select the folder where the contents of the zip file are extracted. And keep the Include subfolders box checked
During the installation (as a security check) Windows may ask your permission to install the drivers, click “Install”
Once the installation is complete you’ll see a refreshed list of devices on the Device manager screen showing your phone’s driver installed successfully.

Now in eclipse do following steps to install your app in your device:-

Go to Run > Run Configurations > Target tab.
Check option "Always prompt to pick device". And then running the application from Eclipse,the prompt window finally showed your device.

Go to http   developer android com tools extras oem-usb html InstallingDriver and follow the steps on the android website but on browsing for the USB folder don t use the directory specified -    sdk  extras google usb driver    sdk  just means your sdk location   Your phone should have the correct driver and it can be accessed when you plug it in and go to the CD Driver in My Computer  in my case it s G  drivers adb driver  Use this directory instead and it should work   It may be differ with devices

Please check whether your device is shown in the Eclipse device tab in Window   Open Perspective  If its not shown there then you need to install drivers for the the device  Once the device is visible in the Devices tab then change the launch settings for manual target  Once you launch your app then it will allow you to choose from the real device or the virtual devices

ok this is an old thread - but I spent nearly two days and did not get anywhere Here is what solved my problem I had USB debugging enabled   finding developer options itself was a pain - I think the 7 times tap from google is childish and just plain stupid - rant over    However HTC syn manager   eclipse ADT and windows computer management were all unable to identify my device   My problem was my phone was set to ONLY USB Charge  - this was the problem  In  USB Computer connection     Choose the option USB Storage  Once you do this - PC will install drivers and your device will get detected by Eclipse as well as in  Computer Management  under   Android USB devices    Now I still dont know a way to access   USB Computer connection  but at that time I did get the option to change and t worked   For those   like me earlier   who dont know how to identify if  Computer Management  shows their device look for  Android USB devices   If its present - then your device is being detected by your PC   Hope this helps some others shankar

Here is my checklist in windows  not the device itself  when my device is not shown    Make sure  USB debugging is turned in setting Developer options  Check status bar on your device  It tells you if your phone is connected as Media Device  MTP  or Send images  PTP   My device is only listed when PTP is selected  Turn of windows firewall  Turn of any proxy programs ran on whole windows ports  And finally stop adb exe from windows task manager and wait some seconds to restart automatically

In addition to the steps provided by  asfsafgsf  above   make sure to re-enable your phone s developer modes functions   For my Motorola Atrix     settings gt applications gt Unknown Sources  allow 3rd party apps settings gt applications gt Development  to enable USB debugging  mock locations  and disable phone sleep   A note on developer modes  USB Debugging is the main mode you will need for running apps through eclipse when your phone is connected via usb  obviously    Disable phone sleep is also handy for self-explanatory reasons    Allowing 3rd party app sources allows you to beta test your app on a larger-scale   With this  you can host your own apk and instruct your beta-testers to download it  prior to releasing it to the Google Play storefront    More specifically  3rd party support allows the installation of android package files that don t contain a google approved signature  required for play store hosting    With 3rd party apps enabled  a handset will be able to run packages regardless of their source  You should also be able to receive an APK via bluetooth and install it in this mode
