Android debugging issues with eclipse

I know this issue has been posted many times previously and I have scoured almost all suggested solutions, however I'm continuing to encounter issues when trying to debug my Android application on my Android phone through Eclipse. Running in release mode works fine on the device, however I keep encountering the following error when trying to debug:

can't bind to local 8700 for debugger

Launch error: Failed to connect to remote VM. Connection timed out.

I've tried changing the DDMS ports (e.g. 8600, 8601, 8602, 8610, 8700, etc.), and between each change I close Eclipse, end adb.exe, disconnect my phone, then restart Eclipse. I've extended the timeout to be 15000. I've selected "USE ADBHOST". I've disabled my AVG and firewall. I've uninstalled AVG off my phone. I've rebooted my machine twice. I've even tried looking at the Windows Host file (C:\Windows\System32\Hosts) and checking that the local host is set to 127.0.0.1. Nothing seems to work.

What's strange though is that almost every 20th time, it will successfully connect and begin debugging (and I can step through the application line by line). However if I finish debugging and then try debug again without changing anything, it will produce the above error.

My computer is running Windows 8 64-bit however I can't think that it would be a Windows 8 bug causing this issue. Also my Android phone is a Samsung Galaxy S3 (don't think this would be the cause of any issues either).

Help Please! :)

The problem is definately AVG.. I recently upgraded to a new version and it breaks the debugging.. as soon as you uninstall AVG it works..

Tried turning off EVERYTHING in AVG and disabling for 20 mins but it still broke it..

I am having the same problem it is due to me installing AVG Antivirus, You can remove it and the debugger should work fine.

This just worked for me:

  • Close Eclipse.
  • Remove USB.
    • Go to task manager, and delete all 'eclipse.exe' (in my case I had 4-5 instances).
    • Also delete 'adb.exe'.
    • Restart Eclipse.
    • Reconnect USB.
