hello.. i am a newbe..

i tried to use the command

adb devices - it lists: emulator-tcp-5555.

ok so far.

but if i then use telnet like from the dos command prompt like this:

telnet localhost 5555

nothing happens.

whats wrong?

thx very much..

I have very limited knowlege in network, but
I think I read somewhere that you should use your
machine IP instead of localhost

To get your machine IP, in Windows,

Start -> Run -> cmd to bring up the command console and then type
ipconfig

Hope it helps

thx for your answer, but i also tried this. it says, that there could no connection be established on port 5555

(but adb devices says: emulator-tcp-5555)

alex..

Hello sommeralex,

with me it is 5554 not 5555:

Code: Select all

telnet
o localhost 5554

Screen cast showing how it works: http://www.anddev.org/viewtopic.php?t=135

this worked, but i dont understand why the adb devices command shows tcp-5555 when its 5554.

Because its telnet port is just "one" lower.

Just to add my voice here, I was very unhappy that I had typed in the example SMS app and wanted to test it out... but could not connect. Of course, if I had come here and searched for 'telnet' I would have found the answer right away, but instead I tried port 5554 on a whim. I agree, the documentation is confusing, saying that connections start on 5554 but then showing the name of the emulator as -tcp-5555.

I wanted you to know that you are not alone in being confused about this. I'm just glad I've made it work, finally.

When i use "sms send 5085551212 hello" in telnet,it says unknown command.

Can anybody please tell me the reason for the above error?

Thanks
judy
