Here I found a lot of questions talking about solutions to the "usb device not found" problem when using adb, but I did not find any explanation about what is happening, or if there is a long-term fix.
When I am developing, I will write the code, and then run or debug it, look at the results on my device, and then repeat the process.
From time to time, maybe once every few days, I get the error "usb device not found".
The first thing I'm trying to do is open the task list and kill adb.exe. It sometimes works.
If this does not work, try killing adb.exe, then disconnect the Android device, reboot it, then reconnect and run "adb usb" from the command line. It almost always works.
If the above does not work, I will reboot the Android device and restart the computer. This seems to be done for all the remaining cases where a problem arises.
Does anyone know why this is happening, and is there a way to prevent it? My only theory (based on not so much) is that maybe the device gets hot (due to heavy CPU usage during development and debugging) and does something wrong, which interferes with the way adb does something .
