ADB not recognising Nexus 4 under Windows 7

I'm running on Windows 7, and I've updated all the drivers as it says on the Android developer website regarding using hardware devices. However, Eclipse is still not recognising my Nexus 4 when I try to run the application. The Android device chooser pops up, but it doesn't show anything on the hardware section. I've turned debugging, third-party apps, and mock locations all on on my phone as well.

Is this because the phone is still new? Is there a way of making my Nexus work with Eclipse?

Nothing is showing up under ADB devices in the command prompt.

I had a similar sounding situation with my Nexus 4. For me it was an issue with the drivers Windows was installing automatically. I followed the instructions in [Q]Computer won't recognize phone? - Post #8. I had some slight differences on Windows 7.

For me I,

1. Uninstalled the driver from Device Manager
2. Let it automatically install the generic 'MTP device driver'
3. Right clicked on the new device and selected 'Update Driver'
4. Selected 'Have Disk' and pointed it to [android-sdk-dir]\extras\google
5. Watched an 'ADB' driver install.
6. Opened Eclipse to successfully run on my Nexus 4.

Good luck!

Just to confirm a previous comment. I needed to switch my connection to Camera (PTP) mode in addition to enabling Developer options and then selecting USB Debugging from the newly appeared Developer Options.

To enable USB debugging, go to settings, about phone and then at the bottom tap build number seven times. This will enable the developer settings where you can enable USB debugging.

To fix/install Android USB driver on Windows 7/8 32bit/64bit:

1. Connect your Android-powered device to your computer's USB port.
2. Right-click on Computer from your desktop or Windows Explorer, and select Manage.
3. Select Devices in the left pane.
4. Locate and expand Other device in the right pane.
5. Right-click the device name (Nexus 7 / Nexus 5 / Nexus 4) and select Update Driver Software. This will launch the Hardware Update Wizard.
6. Select Browse my computer for driver software and click Next.
7. Click Browse and locate the USB driver folder. (The Google USB Driver is located in <sdk>\extras\google\usb_driver\.)
8. Click Next to install the driver.

If it still doesn't work try changing from MTP to PTP.

I had the same problem, but I didn't want to change to PTP mode. This is how I fixed it with MTP still enabled.

1. Uninstalled Google USB Driver from Eclipse in the Android SDK Manager.
2. Uninstalled the driver from Device Manager - click box for "delete driver from my computer"
3. Unplugged and re-plugged my phone into the computer.
4. Windows "improperly" installed drivers for the Nexus 4.
5. The Nexus 4 was now showing up in My Computer like a drive.
6. Reinstall Google USB Driver in SDK Manager.
7. Update Nexus 4 driver in Device Manager.
8. Everything works.
