Q: 

Why does Eclipse does not see my Samsung Galaxy phone although I can transfer files using a drive letter

I developed my first (small) Andoid application using Eclipse and are now ready to transfer it to my Galaxy S mobile device (develping for Android 2.1)

Following another thread in SE, I changed the run mode in Eclipse to manual in the hope that I would be able to chose my phone and/or AVD every time I run the program.

The popup list howerver only show the AVD, my phone is not present in the list.

So obviously, my Samsung Galaxy S device is not recognized. Howerver, I can transfer to and from the device using a drive letter, so the USB connection is working properly.

Anyone any idea what I am missing here ? I'm not sure if it is an Eclipse problem , or a driver or ....

A: 

You have to put the phone in 'debug' mode - I don't have the instructions handy (but you can search here or on the android site for the info you need)

@dpk - easier to remember next time if the OP has to find it ;)

and, apparently, useless to the OP anyway.

@KevinDTimm: I have put the phone in USE debugging mode as you said (follogin DPK's advice), but still, if I press Ctrl-F11 from within Eclipse, the list of available Android devices is empty. Any more ideas ?

@KevinDTimm: never mind my last comment :) I figured it out myself - once I had installed KIES, the device was recognized by Windows and by Eclipse. I thought KIES was just some sort of transfer program - let's call it our version of iTune - but appearantly, it installs more than just that. Thanks for helping.
