title: Can't access android device from DDMS
body: <p>My device is showing on DDMS device list but I cannot do anything with it. For example, file explorer shows nothing and log cat is blank. I just tried to take screenshot, and eclipse just crashed. I of course, made the device in debug usb mode. It seems like a device driver problem but I didn't have any problem with upgrading and rooting this phone.</p>
  
  <p>Is there anything I need to do to the device to make it communicate with DDMS?</p>
  
  <p>UPDATE: I found another visible symptom with my Android device. If I connect it to PC, some of my windows explorer freeze as well. So clearly this is a device driver (SAMSUNG GALAXY S) problem. Maybe it's related to rooting or upgrading since I didn't notice this until I upgraded &amp; rooted my device lately.</p>
  
  <p>UPDATE2: I found a resolution and I could <strong><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/a/8569496/931170">use Remote ADB to connect the device</a></strong> After running the app in the device, you can type following from PC Command to make it connected to DDMS.</p>
  
  <pre><code>adb connect 192.168.xxx.xxx:5555
  </code></pre>
