[android-developers] Re: USB Extension Cables Breaks USB Driver/ADB Composite Device

Not all USB cables are equal. Make sure your extender cable is at least USB-2 and is of good quality.

I use an extender cable on my home system and I've successfully connected four 

different Android phones and a Motorola tablet to my computer through it.

I've also used various flavors of extenders, e.g., through my computer monitor, at 

various job sites and had no difficulty connecting Android devices to the computer.

So the problem is with your cable or other situation unique to you.

Thanks for the insights. I'll try a powered USB hub and see if that helps.

Maybe buy a longer microUSB cable?

Hello 

I'm getting into Android development - coming along well. I have a single problem at this point - any USB extension cable I use causes my machine not to recognize my devices. Namely a Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 Wi-Fi or my Samsung Galaxy SII phone. If I plug in directly with samsungs pathetically short cable it works. Any USB extender I use causes it to either show as an unknown device or it doesn't show at all.

I have updated the USB drivers to the latest from Samsung and Google. Any ideas from other developers? If I use stock cable I can hardly use my device for testing.

Thanks for any tips & tricks.
