What I usually do is to use ssh instead of adb. That one configures the 
terminal properly (besides setting many other things up better than adb does).

Put this into your ~/.bashrc

alias sd='adb forward tcp:2222 tcp:22; ssh-keygen -f ~/.ssh/known_hosts -R 
[localhost]:2222; ssh -o UserKnownHostsFile=/dev/null -o 
StrictHostKeyChecking=no phablet@localhost -p 2222'

and close/reopen the terminal window.

Start up the ssh server on the phone with:

adb shell start ssh

Now you can just do a "sd" (short for ssh device) and you'll be logged in as 
user phablet on the phone, with a properly configured terminal and a properly 
set up user environment. 

Hope this helps,
Michael
