Android on virtualBox gets stuck after idle

Tags:

I am running a VirtualBox with android-x86 (as a replacement for the ultra-slow AVD emulator). Its a Linux VirtualBox running android 4.0, on a Windows 7 Host. The machine boots up and everything works fine, but if i leave the machine idle for less than 5 min, i can't perform any action - all the menus,buttons,etc are unresponsive although the android clock is changing, and i can go to command (alt + F1) and back to gui (alt + F7). Has anyone came across this phenomenon or has an idea what goes wrong here?

How to wake up Android on VirtualBox?

It is pretty simple. Just hold ESC + MENU (A key between right-alt and right-ctrl) and the machine will wake up.

Why does my VirtualBox freeze?

If you're encountering freezing, this is one of the first things to try turning off. In the menu on the left in VirtualBox, right-click on the Ubuntu virtual machine you're having problems with, then select Settings. Here, click the Display tab and make sure that “Enable 3D Acceleration” is not selected.
