The emulator comes up but its very unstable. It keeps giving me the window that asks to send data to microsoft. The it becomes not responding and freezes up. Sometimes I might keep it up for a while and am not doing anything to it and all of a sudden it pops up the debug window.
Is there something I can do to make it more stable.
This is specific to your system and the software installed on it. The emulator is rock solid (mostly), so try and solve the problem on your system.
I had such problems when trying to create an emulator with higher resolutions.
Creating a simpler device solved my problem. Probably it was due to my PC specs (P4 2.4 Ghz, 1 GB of RAM).
I have found emulator instances and the AVD manager itself to be VERY flakey.
This is despite re-installs, constant SDK updates and across multiple machines.
Often the only resolution I've found is to delete the AVD that is crashing and recreate it from scratch.
Also make sure you are using the snapshot facility so that you are at least loading fast when it does crash.

As i work in Android Studio 3.1.4, I have noticed that the Android emulator is blazing fast when I first open it. As I continue to use it, typically by clicking on the "apply changes" icon, it slows down over time until it is eventually no longer usable. If I then close the emulator and open it up again it reverts to being blazing fast.
This happens on multiple computers, all using Windows 10. One of the PCs even has an SSD hard disk. It happens in multiple apps, whether I have only one app open or multiple apps open.
Any thoughts about an easy fix for this? Thank you in advance.
I don't know why is doing that.I've heard about Genymotion emulator if you want to try(i haven't tried it yet though).You can give a try :)
Genymotion
I work for the complete day on the Eclipse and run the apps on Emulator. But Unexpectedly sometimes the emulator Hangs up and continuously showing the error message. The Logcat is showing problem in HardwareRenderer.java
However, Restarting the emulator solves the Issue but it wastes time. So, is there a possible way to avoid or Recover this problem.
hello maybe it doesn't exactly fits into your problem... but instead of using emulator you can try using blue stacks its really fast and easy to run.... if you are using blue stacks as your emulator first start start the blue stacks and then start eclipse or whatever IDE you are using. In eclipse you can find the blue stacks emulator in devices tab ..Hope it will be useful for you.

Use Genymotion, you will never experience any emulator issues.

Very fast emulator, requires VM installation to work.
try this...
Go to windows
Android Virtual Device Manager
Select your current Virtual Device
Edit
Disable Use Host GPU
Ok
Because if we enable Use Host GPU option, it requires high capability of your system's graphics card but mostly user does not have high quality graphics card, so it gives rendering problems. To increase the performance, enable the snapshot option.
My PC is core i-5 with 4gb RAM.
whenever i try to run an AVD in eclipse it comes fast, if i want to run an AVD for TAB it take 5 to 10 minutes. Is there any way to make it fast? Also some time it comes with blackscreen says open gl es API problem type something
Also after fast run, i dont close it, i use it same AVD for all run. But it becames slower after every installation or run by my app. so i have to close and restart my AVD, is there any solution for it. Also some time DDMS cant find AVD, while it was running in font.
Anyone face these problem? any tricks?
one another thing, some time app dont run automatically after installation, i have to select app in AVD's APPS
The Android emulator does not make use of multiple cores. Whether you have 1 or 8 cores doesn't matter. However, the speed of a single core does affect the speed of the emulator.
Having a processor with TurboBoost helps considerably, in my experience. Additionally, it is well known that the 3.X and above emulators are extremely slow by nature.
You could also try allocating more RAM to the AVD in it's setup. Reducing the screen size and resolution also helps in speeding up the emulator.
You can refer to this Google Group thread for details on why the emulator is slow, and how to speed it up.
I am using IntelliJ IDEA (10.5) for Android development with latest Google USB Driver (version 4) for debugging. After some time of development in IntelliJ IDEA when Android device (Nexus One) is connected via USB, the computer (with Windows 7, 32 bit) freezes. No blue screen just freeze. Everything is visible but screen is not updating. I have to restart the computer.
Is anyone experiencing similar issues? Any solutions?
Sorry, not sure how to comment on your original post (the field is not displayed).
I'm experiencing the same issue and I'd love to determine a solution. It's very annoying!
I use Eclipse (Windows 7 64-bit) with a Nexus One (2.2) and my PC will randomly, completely freeze. The mouse pointer locks up, Caps Lock button (and others) don't toggle, touch pad doesn't react, etc. No blue screen and nothing is ever written to the system's event log. I have to physically shut down the machine and restart it each time.
At first, it happened in the same manner for me -- developing within Eclipse. I noticed it didn't happen on compile or debug launch, more during development (again, randomly). Then I noticed it started happening when Eclipse wasn't open at all. That's when I started to suspect a driver or similar issue. But I'm not sure how to troubleshoot further from here.
If anyone has ANY insight into this issue, it would be greatly appreciated.
UPDATE: Incorrectly reported N1 version as 2.1 -- corrected to 2.2
Idea is known to have long GC pauses sometimes - it may freeze completely for some time. And it takes even longer if it goes into swap - in this case, whole system may become unresponsive. See this issue and discussion in forums.
So, if it is indeed your case, try using statically-compiled version from here - it's proven to work faster.
It sounds like OS/Hardware problem
I just created a android AVD which runs on the 3.1 version. After it starts running, it takes a lot of time to move from one activity to another. Is there any way I could speed up this process.
Emulators will always run much slower than the devices. Anyhow, the android emulators now are much faster than before, so make sure you keep your sdk updated (and you obviously have, since you're running 3.1).
Also, I consistently noticed that emulators running in ubuntu 11 are faster than the same emulators in Win 7 (same hardware), so you might want to give ubuntu a try.
Android emulator takes a lot of memory while it's starting up. It's normal. The thing you can do here is using a feature called snapshot. Snapshot will save your time (and probably resources) from the start booting up.

Hope it helps.
