I had the same issue since the android 6 upgrading.
I noticed that for some reason the device is playing “hard to get” when you try to contact it over WIFI.
Try these following steps:
-
Make sure that
Aggressive Wi-Fi to Cellular handoverunder Networking section in the device’s developer options is turned off. -
ping continuously from your pc to the device to make sure it’s not in network idle mode
ping -t 192.168.1.10(windows cmd), unlock the device and even try to surf to some website just to make it get out of the network idle. -
If ping doesn’t work, turn off / on Android Wifi and go back to step 2.
-
When it replies to the ping, connect it via usb, and:
adb usbadb tcpip 5555adb connect 192.168.10.1:5555 -
In case it’s still not connected, try to switch the USB connection mode as MTP / PTP / Camera while the device is connected through USB and repeat these steps over again…
If the above points are not working please try running ADB as admin.
For Ubuntu –
`sudo adb start-server`
