Failed to install due to Timeout in Emulator

Question

When attempting to install an .apk from Eclipse, whether to an android emulator or to a physical device (via USB), I get a \"Failed to install *.apk on device \'*\': timeout

Answer 1

My simple approach is to just restart the emulator (not eclipse). It just works without me having to send any adb commands. Rarely happens with physical device though.

Answer 2

I've got the same behavior as mentioned in your question, and tried every solution listed by you. Try this: change the USB port. For me, I have a total of 4 USB ports (two in front of my desktop and the two others in the back). The two ones on the front gives me [timeout install] whatever I do. The first one in the back I've tried has worked. I wonder it might be some issue related with USB port version, or MotherBoard embedded USB.

Answer 3

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)

Answer 4

I had the same issue; by copying the *.apk to the cell phone memory and installing it directly on the device (by Myfiles and selecting the *.apk), it worked OK. I suspect that there's an issue with the USB connection (too many errors, Eclipse is too slow due to other processes using the USB, etc.).

Answer 5

At first You have to Update all drivers of your system, then install android studio with basic way, then error will solved . Try First Because I also face this problem multiple time....

Answer 6

Just unplugging and plugging in the phone (physical) works. This does happen to me (too many times) when the phone is connected too long and nothing is done.
