Instant run does not work

Question

I'm getting this issue in android studio 2.3 when I click on run:

03/09 19:02:36: Launching app
$ adb shell am startservice 

com.a890m.s/com.android.tools.fd.runtime.InstantRunService
Error while executing: am startservice com.a890m.s/com.android.tools.fd.runtime.InstantRunService

Starting service: Intent { act=android.intent.action.MAIN cat=[android.intent.category.LAUNCHER] cmp=com.a890m.s/com.android.tools.fd.runtime.InstantRunService }

Error: Not found; no service started.

When I try to disable it it gives me another error saying that instant run is needed with grade 3.3 — Sherwyn Cardozo, Mar 10 '17 at 21:15
For now I have got a temporary solution I. E see that u r app is running on the phone and then click on the run button on android studio so with this it acts like hotswap and whatever changes u want get applied — Sherwyn Cardozo, Mar 10 '17 at 21:17

This issue is only in Android Studio 2.3 which is still open in google issue Tracker You can resolve it (for time being not a permeant solution because Instant run is needed) by disabling instant run in your android studio. goto-> Android Studio -> Preferences -> Build, Execution, Deployment -> Instant Run

File->Settings-> Choose [Build, Execution, Deployment] item on left side. Expand Debugger option. Select [Instant Run] then on right side, click (uncheck) the "Enable Instant Run to hotswap code/resource changes on deploy (default enabled)" This worked to resolve this issue so I could debug on my Alcatel phone. Why don't other answers explain how to turn off Instant Run? – raddevus May 04 '17 at 22:06

I get this error before and the solution that works for me is to Try unplug and plug the cable again and see if it works

This is happening for some specific devices because some manufacturers have customized their devices and added some sort of "auto-start" blocker. For affected Asus devices, for example, you can fix this issue by enabling Auto-start for your app with Asus's Auto-start Manager. See this page for details: https://www.asus.com/support/faq/1013752

But different manufacturer seems to do this differently. For example, for LeEco devices, you can allow "auto-launch" under settings. See this issue (https://github.com/openstf/stf/issues/407#issuecomment-247852532) for info on how to enable auto-launch for your app.

You can Google how to turn off such autostart/autolaunch feature for your specific device to get Instant Run to work. You can also just use the emulator.

Hope that helps.

You may still need to disable auto-start depending on what system image you are using on the emulator. — James L., Mar 23 '17 at 14:51
I am using the clean android images provided from Google in the SDK Manager. I cannot find any option for auto-starting. — SapuSeven, Mar 23 '17 at 19:55
