Android emulator: qemu-system-i386.exe: goldfish_battery_read: poor bias

Question

So, whenever I try to run my application on an Android emulator, the IDE gets this error:

Emulator: qemu-system-i386.exe: goldfish_battery_read: Bad offset....... 

This error also shows when the application starts every minute or so.

I use

• Android Studio 3 Beta 6
• API Level 26
• Emulator 26.1.4
• Android SDK
• Tools 26.1.1
• Image x86 26 (oreo)

...

I tried reinstalling all the SDK tools and updating everything to the latest version, but no luck. I also reinstalled the IDE and reloaded everything, and it still shows this error.

I am wondering if anyone could encounter this error?

Answer 1

I'm sure ( hope? ). Google will fix this error soon, but so far all the pop-up notifications are very annoying. For me, the emulator seems to be working fine. I just wanted to temporarily disable the pop-up notification.

You can do this by selecting the Settings icon in the pop-up window. Then select No pop-up on the Emulator menu.

I checked the "Log" box to track the event log.

Answer 2

I had the same problem for an emulator working with Oreo. The emulator does not load and does not display the message "Emulator: qemu-system-i386.exe: goldfish_battery_read: Bad bias".

I solved this by following:

• Run standalone sdk manager

• Download "Google Play Intel x86 atom Image" in API 26 (OREO)

• Run avd manager from sdk manager> tools> manager avds .. (not from android studio).
• Create or edit AVD.
• In the CPU / ABI section, select the image "Google Play Intel x86 atom Image" (instead of "Google API Intel x86 atom Image")
• Launch AVD. It should work.

Answer 3

I have the same problem. This is really strange, but I partially decide that modifying / adding / modifying the file Emulator.ini:

 hw.audioInput=no hw.audioOutput=no
