Running App on my Android device.

I am trying to get my app to run on my Galaxy s5, I originally had an error in my Android Manifest, it would appear that i fixed that issue with help, however, when i ran the program, the 'edit configuration' window opened and i selected the following:

Module--> App

Package--> Deploy Default APK

Activity--> Launch default Activity

Target Device--> USB Device

It then (upon running the app) said that my configurations were still not correct. Should that window have even popped up and if so what should i have put?

Have you configured your phone to work in debugger mode? Once you do so, it should be listed in devices tab.

it should not hmmm. Are you sure you enabled both - Debugged mode and Allow mock location?

if yes, try removing drivers for your phone, install new ones and restart PC.
