Android Emulator got discharged completely - running telnet power command crashing the Emulator

Question

Good evening friends, I am a newbie to android. My problem is, when ever I started emulator, it is showing battery as nill and the message as connect to charger. While I am searching for this over internet, I came across using the Telnet commands. I have used the following commands -

telnet localhost 5554
power capacity 100

This is crashing my application. Not only the power command, but also other commands except help. I have tried changing the power to 99, 70, 20, etc., nothing made difference in the output.

For this, I have tried the suggestion given in this article.

I also have tried solution given in this question.

This question might look as a duplicate of already existing questions. But, I have tried all those solutions,

I have

• reinstalled eclipse
• reinstalled android-sdk
• reinstalled avd manager
• recreated existing AVD

I am using Intel Atom (x86) Emulator. The target is Android 4.3 with API level 18.

I have also followed the instructions and suggestions given over here like changing the hw.battery option in the config.ini file in .android\avd\ folder.

Answer 1

The solution is to set the hw.battery=yes in the AVD config.ini file as described here:

1. Go to your Android Virtual Devices folder. On Windows 7 it's this folder for example:
   C:\Users\{yourUserName}\.android\avd\{yourAVDName}.avd

2. Open the config.ini file

3. Set the battery option to yes: hw.battery=yes
4. Restart your Virtual Device and be happy :-)
