Running 3 Android Emulators -- failure

Question

I am building/testing a group chat and events application, and need to be able to test on 3+ devices.

Using Android Virtual Device manager, I can successfully run two emulators, yet starting a third, simply displays the android naming and loading, never getting to the home screen.

I do have 16 GB ram, and never reach above 14 GB with all processes running...

What configuration do I have to change to allow for running 3 emulators?

Are you using windows or linux? – Shayan_Aryan Feb 06 '16 at 21:57 — Shayan_Aryan, Feb 06 '16 at 21:57

I recommend using the Gennymotion emulator, & set 1GB ram for each device. Be sure not to choose a fancy device like nexus 5.

I had first attempted using genymotion but it kept crashing, throwing errors about OVA files that never went away, the same problems other people have had – Sauron Feb 07 '16 at 06:19
