using telnet crashes android emulator

Question

This question has been asked before, but none of the answers have worked for me.

I am attempting to use telnet to manipulate the state of an android virtual device, but every time i attempt any command other than help, the emulator crashes. This is happening both in windows and linux. I have to assume its a problem with the emulator but I have no idea how to solve it.

Answer 1

I had the same issue and it was solved using the following steps:

1- Close the emulator if it is opened

2- Navigate to the following path:

C:\Users{yourUserName}.android\avd{yourAVDName}.avd

3- Change the format of the Config.ini file instead of having it as a single line, it should look like this:

hw.ramSize=343

hw.device.manufacturer=Google

hw.sdCard=yes

hw.mainKeys=yes

hw.accelerometer=yes

skin.name=480x800

4- Make sure that the line hw.battery=YES

5- Start the emulator again

Telnet commands should now work fine.
