Reboot the phone     Seriously  Completely power down and power up   That fixed it for me

I get this a lot  I m on a Galaxy S too  I unplug the cable from the phone  plug it back in and try launching the app again from Eclipse  and it usually does the trick  Eclipse seems to lose the connection to the phone occasionally but this seems to kick it back to life

I have encountered the same problem and tried to change the ADB connection timeout  That did not work   I switched between my PC s USB ports  front -  back  and it fixed the problem

Try changing the ADB connection timeout   I think it defaults that to 5000ms and I changed mine to 10000ms to get rid of that problem   If you are in Eclipse  you can do this by going through  Window -  Preferences -  Android -  DDMS -  ADB Connection Timeout  ms

I used to have this problem sometimes  the solution was to change the USB cable to a new one

I know it sounds silly  but after trying everything recomended for this timeout issue on when running on a device  I decided to try changing the cable and it worked  It s a Coby Kyros MID7015   Trying another cable is a good and simple option to take a chance on

What I usually do when I get this error is restarting the adb server by typing in the cmd   adb kill-server  adb start-server  EDIT  With some never versions of the Platform Tools you can do this from the DDMS Perspective in the Devices Tab menu  near the Capture Button   click on Reset adb   EDIT2  Also I found out that it is preferable to use the USB port in the back of your PC  since most of the front USB ports are low powered  and really seem to be slower when uploading apks on your devices
