Network Connectivity Error In Android Emulator

Question

I know that there are several threads posted about this issue, however I believe my problem to be a bit different:

I have installed Android emulator on my desktop.

When i try to browse internet via the emulator, it works perfect.

But the problem is the apps that i have installed in the emulator are not able to access the internet

i installed whatsapp successfully, the registration screen loads properly, then i entered my mobile number and pressed OK button. I keep getting the following error

Unable to connect. Please check that you are connected to the internet and try again. Please reboot your phone if your connection problem persists.

Its very annoying that i have been Googleing the error for weeks now and still havent reached a solution to the problem

I tried bluestacks .. i also reinstalled it as well as emulator several times... it did not help...

1000 thanks to person that helps me solve this issue..:D

Answer 4

I have installed youwave on my laptop at home and downloaded whatsapp, then registered in whatsapp. It worked perfectly without any problem. Then I tried the same at office and it did not work. But can access the internet thru the browser. I believe that the reason is that at office I'm behind a proxy and not sure if whatsapp uses certain protocols not allowed by office proxy.

Answer 5

ok... i have the same problem. but i know, what is the best solution till now for bluestacks connection problem. you have to install proxycap software. make new proxy rules for bluestacks.

in c/program*86/bluestacks/HD-network.exe

this is the file that you have to make rule for.

whatsapp will work and other apps too. but still u can't download data using bluestacks.

but yes if you have bluetooth then there is no problem. connect ur phone having internet connection.

and your rule's proxy will allow you to download data. the good thing is that 95% data is downloaded through your wired network(LAN). bluetooth connection of phone just helps you to maintain the server side connected...and now go to google store or wtever u want to download. you are good to go.

and just activate a small data pack on your phone.... thanxx.. hope that would help

Answer 6

one solution can be to disable the gps, just go to advance conf. then to location and turn that off. that worked for me at least.
