Android Emulator Windows 7
Kenneth Calimlim
The only "solution" I found was to change the hw.gpu.mode in the config.ini file from auto to guest. That fixes the glitches, but causes really bad performance issues and one app I developed with Flutter for my company straight up doesn't load. (loads when hw.gpu.mode=auto).
When you enable hardware acceleration in emulator settings, the emulator actually doesn't get anything from the GPU. I monitored my GPU stats and found out that it doesn't even show the emulator running on it. Hence the choppy screen.
I would suggest either disabling hyper-v to use AEHD (I haven't tested that), or updating to the beta channel to use hyper-v (Tested on Android 11 and 14, it got rid of the glitches and the performance is very acceptable on my i5-12400F)
It seems like dedicated Nvidia GPU's are causing the problem. I have a 3060 laptop and I have the same issue and when I set it to guest it seems to work. My guess is that setting changes it from using the GPU to the CPU. I would recommend you try setting android studio to use integrated graphics instead of dedicated. Since I have a 8 core CPU compared to a 4 core CPU of yours, I'm guessing that's the reason I don't get as bad performance
Easy way to find the file is through Android Studio -> Device Manager -> Tap on the options on your designated emulator -> Show on Disk -> Open the config.ini file within the Emulator folder -> Change the specified fields.
With Visual Studio, you can easily test and debug your .NET MAUI app for Android in emulators for situations where an Android device isn't available. However, if hardware acceleration isn't available or enabled, the emulator will run very slowly. You can significantly improve the performance of the emulator by enabling hardware acceleration and by using virtual device images that are appropriate for your processor architecture. For more information, see Configure hardware acceleration for the Android Emulator on developer.android.com.
The emulator provides versatile networking capabilities that can be used for different purposes, including connecting to an emulator running on a Mac from inside a Windows virtual machine (VM). For more information, see Connect to an Android emulator on a Mac from inside a Windows virtual machine.
The Intel Hardware Accelerated Execution Manager (HAXM) is deprecated from emulator 33.x.x.x, and has been replaced by AEHD on Intel processors. For information about using HAXM on emulator 32.x.x.x and lower, see Configure VM acceleration using Intel HAXM on Windows on developer.android.com.
For the best experience on Windows, it's recommended you use WHPX to accelerate the Android emulator. If WHPX isn't available on your computer, then AEHD can be used. The Android emulator automatically uses hardware acceleration if the following criteria are met:
Make sure that the virtual device you created in the Android Device Manager is an x86-64 or x86-based system image. If you use an Arm-based system image, the virtual device won't be accelerated and will run slowly.
If your computer doesn't support Hyper-V, you should use AEHD to accelerate the Android emulator. Before you can install and use AEHD, read the following section to verify that your computer supports AEHD.
today after i got an update of avast i could not launch any android emulator anymore (Bluestacks 3 and NOX). When i try to launch an emulator after like 80-90% of the engine loading of the emulator nothing happens then i get a messagge of the emulator that the engine could not launche and it gives me 2 options (restart engine or restart computer) both will get my sistem to crash and i get a blue screen with errorcode 0x00000667 (not sure if i miss a 0). I already tried to disable the antivirus and to retry but got the same problem, i reinstall the android emulator but got the same result. And worst of my problems are that my computer didn't had the file protection active to restore to an prewvie point, so im stuck now and i prefer not to reset my whole computer. Any suggestion what could i do? im really in trouble here and i hope this is the right place to ask for my problem.
I was having the same exact issue. Did all the normal troubleshooting (restarts/re-installs etc). So I hit up google and found your post and made the connection that I recall updating Avast a few days ago as well. Did a search for "avast bluestacks" and found the post @ this URL. I followed its easy steps and so far bluestacks is back up and running normal for me again.
Please note that "Starting from emulator 33.x.x.x, HAXM is deprecated as Intel discontinues development of HAXM. The Android Emulator hypervisor driver (AEHD) replaces Intel HAXM on Intel Processors." Source: -acceleration
It seems that if you use Android Emulator version 33.x.x.x or higher and you have installed Android Emulator hypervisor driver, Android Emulator tries to use Windows Hyper-V. So you need to enable it using the following instructions.
I know that similar questions have been asked before, but my problem is new only after installing Android Studio 2.3, the latest version in March 2017. I have several years experience developing Android applications, and I have never encountered this problem before. After upgrading to version 2.3 of Android Studio, my emulator is no longer able to access the internet. I even uninstalled/reinstalled Android Studio 2.3 from scratch and created a new emulator, and I am still getting the same error. This is not an app problem. I can't even access the internet from Chrome, and I wasn't having this problem last week. The message that I get says that the server DNS address could not be found -- DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_BAD_CONFIG. The only thing that has changed on my computer in the last week is the new version of Android plus possibly updates to Windows 10. And yes, my computer has access to the internet. Below is an image of my emulator when I try to use Chrome to search for "Google".
Ok, for those saying why not just wipe data and restart.Do you reformat your PC every time you restart it? Wiping data on the emulator is just like doing a factory reset to a phone or reformatting your hard drive on your PC and reinstalling your OS. It is unnecessary unless the data is totally corrupt.
I found a temporary solution on an old Stack Overflow thread at Upgraded to SDK 2.3 - now no emulators have connectivity. Note that this thread talks about Android SDK 2.3, not Android Studio 2.3. The problem seems to be that the emulator can't find the DNS my computer is currently using, and the temporary workaround is to start the emulator from the command line and specify the DNS server. Whatever problem occurred back then must have reappeared in the latest version of Android Studio.
The temporary solution outlined below fixes the problem with the emulator accessing the internet. However, it does not fix the problem that occurs when trying to run Android Device Monitor. Doing so will still make the emulator go offline as described above.
I found a post on SO that suggested the problem was with the emulator trying to use a disconnected network adapter. For me the problem was occurring when I was connected to a LAN. Disabling the wireless LAN adapter fixed the issue.
Another dialog box will be opened and there just neglect the first set about the IP address (Keep as it is set) and click radio button of Use the following DNS server addresses: and enter as 8.8.8.8 in Preferred DNS server: and 8.8.4.4 in Alternate DNS server:
I am also facing the same problem, but I am trying to solve the problem using various posts. Today I discovered this problem. Your computer configuration is most likely the problemm, not Android Studio and the Android Emulator.
For me the problem was caused when I took my laptop home without restarting the emulator. From what I have read, when the emulator starts up it reads your PC's DNS settings and uses them. When I was on my home network, my work DNS settings were failing.
So yeah. Just restarting the emulator solved my problem.
This was a problem for me last time the emulator updated itself and back then disabling other network adapters fixed it. Now it's cropped up again but the only adapter that is enabled is a single wifi one so I have nothing to disable.
The issue only reappeared after I updated via a prompt the emulator tools to 26.1.1. I uninstalled and reinstalled the emulator via the SDK Tools update tab and thankfully the only option when installing again right now is to install 26.0.3 (which seems to be working okay).
First, open the AVD Manager in android studio andClick on Wipe the data of that emulator and after that click on Cold Boot Now .If that doesn't work, try changing your network's DNS address to 8.8.8.8 (Google's DNS) or another DNS of your choice.
As pointed by @osama buzdar, the DNS settings the emulator looks first might be specified in /etc/resolv.conf. In my case, as of macOS Catalina 10.15.7, there was 2 addresses in that file: the first one was a IPv6 and the second, IPv4 and for some reason the emulator was probably having trouble with the IPv6.
With so many different android emulators available, figuring out which is right for you is tough. You know you want to ensure app compatibility and functionality across a wide range of Android versions but need to figure out which tool is best. I've got you! In this post I'll help make your choice easy, sharing my personal experiences using dozens of different emulation tools with various teams and projects, with my picks of the best android emulators.
Android emulators are software that replicate the Android operating system on other operating systems like Windows, macOS, or Linux. They create a virtual environment, simulating Android devices such as smartphones and tablets on a computer. These emulators allow users and developers to install and run Android apps and interact with them as if they were using a real Android device.
