Android Studio: “Waiting for device.” Trying to run app on phone

Question

I\'m attempting to transition from Eclipse to Android Studio today. I generated the Gradle build files in Eclipse and imported into Android Studio. I changed my preferences

Answer 1

I have the same problem. I am using Kubuntu and I can get the phone to recognize it, but it is gibberish in the "Device" and "Serial" columns, producing only a NULL and ?????'s. I have tried to use the emulator but even that is buggy. I got the emulator to start only to have it "lose" the phone icon, (without the persistence button checked either) and the camera icon, as well as it saying "could not access the package manager".

I restarted the program, and all was working fine. It helps to have patience.
