| For some reason I'm no longer able to just compile & run on my device. I'm using a Nexus 10 to test on. Right now I go to the android/bin, grab the apk and mail it to myself and from the mail program my nexus I download the attachment and install. Can something have happened to my USB drivers? Which ones should I use for nexus 10 or nexus 7? |

| I test on a Nexus 7. When this happened to me, it was because I had changed the USB connection mode from "camera" to "media device." It's under settings somewhere. You can use the drivers that come with the Android SDK. |
| ||
| Sorry, to be clear: you need to be on "camera" or it doesn't work. |

| Here my story.. I use samsung phone and install driver. Everything work. Then later I bought new samsung S2. When I connect to PC, I can do everything using the same driver, so I guest all done. But later when I run Monkey not working. Take me about an hour to figure it out. I re-install using S2 supply driver, everything work again. I guest driver for 2 different model (but the same company) not fully compatible. I hope this could help someone. |

| Ah it should be camera, I thought it should be media device - oki gonna try that! Yeah, problem with Nexus 10 is that there is no drivers for it. It really surprises me since they have sold quite a bit of em! On samsung's driver page they only have a pdf... |
| ||
| Unfortunately not working with camera either. Anyone got a Nexus 7 or 10 and got drivers that are working with direct compile? |
| ||
| Nope. It didn't work the first time I clicked "Compile", so I just switched to the drag'n'drop method. Open your Nexus in explorer, (turn your Nexus on, and unlock it!) go to the Download directory, and drag'n'drop your monkeygame-debug.apk into there, then run the Download app on the device, and click the apk to install it. No need for an upload/download approach, as, no matter how many times you overwrite that apk, it still sits in the same place in the download app. I gave up trying to do the proper method. This way works. It'll do! |

| What worked for me is the driver provided in the android-sdk. Which makes sense, it's a Google reference device after all. C:\android-sdk-windows\extras\google\usb_driver |

| PS, Nexus is made by ASUS, not Samsung. So you may have been looking on the wrong company's page. :) |
| ||
| Nexus 10 is Asus, 7 is Samsung and 4 is LG. .. I think.. |
| ||
| All the Nexus 7 stuff I have is Asus branded. |
| ||
| Sorry, got those first two the wrong way round.. 7s Asus, 10s Samsung, 4s LG!! .. This shows exactly how much usage I get out of my Nexus 7!! |
