I have a [web app](https://www.mindstick.com/blog/74221/tips-on-real-estate-web-app-development) that I need to tweak for Chrome on a tablet. I have a [Samsung Galaxy](https://www.mindstick.com/news/542/samsung-galaxy-s21-fe-witnessed-at-the-mexican-website) Tab for testing. I'm trying to follow [these](https://developers.google.com/chrome-developer-tools/docs/remote-debugging) famous instructions to use [developer tools](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/158446/what-is-the-role-of-browser-developer-tools-such-as-chrome-devtools-or-firefox-developer-tools) with Chrome for [Android](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/13046/10-reasons-why-i-prefer-android-vs-iphone-ios). I have downloaded and installed the Samsung USB driver from here, and it has sprayed 25 folders in C:\Program Files\SAMSUNG\USB Drivers. If there are further steps to [identify](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/159425/java-app-crash-arrayindexoutofboundsexception-identify-invalid-index) and use the drivers in these folders, I haven't followed them.\ My problem is that chrome:inspect is not finding my device. The device [manager](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/13000/perks-of-implementing-a-quotation-manager) shows the device properly installed, but the driver tab says it's running a [microsoft](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/12301/microsoft-is-trying-to-kill-passwords) driver from 2006! All attempts to update the driver finish with "The best driver is already installed." I can browse the device in [Windows](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/311752/how-to-install-and-use-the-google-wifi-software-on-a-windows-or-mac-computer) explorer.

Enable USB debugging on your tablet. To do this, go to **Settings** > **Developer options** > **USB debugging** and toggle the switch to **On**. 2. Install the Android Debug Bridge (ADB) on your computer. You can download ADB from the Android SDK Platform-Tools package. 3. Connect your tablet to your computer using a USB cable. 4. Open a command prompt or terminal window on your computer. 5. Type the following command and press **Enter**: Code snippet ```plaintext adb connect ``` Replace `` with the IP address of your tablet. You can find the IP address of your tablet by going to **Settings** > **About** > **Status** > **IP address**. 1. If the command succeeds, you will see a message that says "connected to ". 2. To start remote debugging, type the following command and press **Enter**: Code snippet ```plaintext adb shell setprop debug.tcp.port ``` Replace `` with the port number that you want to use for remote debugging. 8. To connect to your tablet from your computer, type the following command and press **Enter**: Code snippet ```plaintext adb connect : ``` Replace `` and `` with the values that you used in the previous step. Once you have connected to your tablet, you can use a Java debugger to debug your code. ### Reply by Anonymous User For me (developing on windows 8, visual studio 2013, xamarin 6, samsung S4 connected via USB ) chrome://inspect works, but only if I have adb running in the background. This was not mentioned in the documentation last time I checked.\ Get android platform tools if you don't already have it. Then, from a command prompt in android-sdk/platform-tools > adb start-server.\ You can do this as often as you like, and may need to do it every time you reconnect your phone, or wake your machine. --- Original Source: https://www.mindstick.com/forum/33631/how-can-i-start-remote-debugging-on-a-samsung-galaxy-tablet Copyright © MindStick Software Pvt.
