Hi, what host OS are you running? I'd like to be able to send over a build with symbols so we can profile it (or on macos use the process sampler). Let's also try `adb shell top` next time this happens; we found that when networking state changes, sometimes, the virtual radio gets in a bad state and starts spinning.

I need to add hw.audioInput=no hw.audioOutput=no to every AVD I create. Otherwise, the Android Emulator uses 100% CPU all the time, even when it's been idle for minutes. I'm far from the only one having the problem, see https://stackoverflow.com/questions/37063267/high-cpu-usage-with-android-emulator-qemu-system-i386-exe https://stackoverflow.com/questions/37063267/high-cpu-usage-... I'm on a Macbook Air 2014, Intel i5, 8GB of RAM, 500GB SSD. Hardware acceleration, etc. all enabled.

  Interesting, sounds like a live loop in some audio thread somewhere. What's your audio setup and AVD config.ini? I might be able to reproduce on my Mac.

    Sorry, I'm not an expert. What am I supposed to do with the emulator-symbols.zip?

      Replace your current emulator install; delete $ANDROID_SDK_ROOT/emulator then unzip it there so theres $ANDROID_SDK_ROOT/emulator again. $ANDROID_SDK_ROOT, if not set, should be set to the SDK location in Android Studio > Preferences > Android SDK (SDK path will show up there). Set it in your ~/.bash_profile too so it's there next time for running the emulator from the command line. The AVD config.ini can be found in ~/.android/avd/nameofAvd.avd/config.ini .
