Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
Hi! I have a 13 inch Mid 2012 MBP 10.8.5 and the keyboard and trackpad freezes when I try to hook up an Android Device and compile a program with Eclipse ADT then push it to the device through Android Debug Bridge (ADB). I'm not having this problem when using an emulated Android Device.
MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.5)
this just happened to me too! No one seems to know whats going on...
This is also happening to me. I contacted Apple and they sent me a new machine but the problem still exists. This is my work machine and my keyboard stops working at least 5 X a day. I need to reboot which is extremely frustrating . Apple PLEASE FIX THIS ASAP
Same issue here, however using Mavericks and Android Studio. I'm not so sure this is an Apple issue has it never happened on my iMac on older versions of AS
You will find this problem on all kinds of Macs, going back to 2008. It's infuriating. I'm not even running a plug in or anything. I'm VERY disappointed in this product. Even the hard reboot takes persistence just to get it to shut down.
Apple doesn’t routinely monitor the discussions.
Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.
Looks like problem is with the AFT tool that is used for the file transfer.
See link below:
Yes, the problem happens with the ADB and AFT, both Eclipse ADT and Android Studio.
The solution I use, in exact step is:
1) hook up the USB cable to the device FIRST.
2) use one hand to align the USB cable to the port but do not insert it. (READY?)
3) keep another hand on the trackpad, moving around randomly.
4) while moving around randomly on the trackpad, insert the USB cable to the port.
5) keep moving around on trackpad for a few second until AFT started.
If unluckily that sometimes I forgot the step and keyboard/trackpad freezes, here is the steps to "recover".
1) unplug the USB cable from Macbook Pro
2) insert a USB memory stick
3) remove the USB stick (optional)
Because the step may involve an unsafe eject of USB, use one of those spare with no data/no important data. I'm sure you will have plenty of this "useless" memory stick around (like 1GB or 2GB, gifts from somewhere).
