genymotion generic unknown error

Question

I have recently downloaded Genymotion in hopes of having a speedier emulator for working in Android Studio. Everything looks like it downloaded correctly, and I have linked my Genymotion to my Android Studio. The problem is when I try to sign into Genymotion, it keeps saying "unknown generic error." I have contacted Genymotion many times about this issue, and they have not gotten back to me. I even tried re-downloading Genymotion, and creating a new account. Nothing seems to help.

Try checking the Virtual box installation. Update virtual box if needed. — Quantum_VC

Can you post picture of error? Check 32 bit/ 64 bit versions. — Quantum_VC

In your GenyMotion go to:

Settings -> Network
Check Use HTTP Proxy
Insert HTTP Proxy and Port
Click "OK"
Now try to login genymotion.

Hopefully it helps

Mine got resolved by doing the following: Opening Virtual Box -> Preferences -> Network - > host-only networks -> Edit Virtual Host-Only Ethernet Adapter -> DHCP Server -> uncheck Enable server.

it may help some.

After I uncheck Enable server , virtual box will create another Virtual Host-Only Ethernet Adapter for me.

I had the same issue but I solved it by this steps
1. get your Ip address that you use it to enter internet
2. open network and sharing center
3. open virtualbox host-only network
4. put your internet Ip as default gateway and prefered dns server it should work after that.

Explanation: virtual machine made a network card and give it default IP "192.168.56.1" if this IP can't access internet so you can't login so but your internet ip as default gateway and dns

that's worked for me.

I tried everything as mentioned above but it doesn't work. It only work after I login to the website.

Almost like @Flowra mentioned:

Find the IP address and default gateway of your network (cmd ->
ipconfig).
Open Network and Sharing Center and click on Virtual Box host only Network.
Click Properties -> IP4 Properties
Put your network's default gateway (eg. 192.168.1.1) in the default gateway and your IP address as the Preferred DNS Server

Then restart Genymotion.

I fixed it by enabling network access in AhnLab Internet Security blabla installed in my computer.... That app is blocking the network access in Genymotion...

Gust van de Wal · Accepted Answer · 2016-04-13 22:11:26Z

I have faced the same issue...

First

Open Virtual Box -> Preferences -> Network - > host-only networks -> Edit Virtual Host-Only Ethernet Adapter -> DHCP Server -> uncheck Enable serve

Then

Open setting "Open Network and Sharing Center" > Change Adaptor Setting > Right Click on "Virtual Box Host-Only Network" > Properties > Select "Internet Version Protocol 4 (TCP / IPv4)" > Click on "Properties" Tab > Check "Obtain IP Address Automatically" as well as "Obtain DNS Server Automatically"

At this point, the problem still wasn't solved

Finally

Open Antivirus >Internet & Network > Programme Rules > Allow Genymotion

and it's done!

Try different types of networks. If it fails, click the login-in button more than one time, and then it will work.

I use window 7 n use Internet Connection by wireless, not LAN cable.

Open settiing "Open Network and Sharing Center"
I've 2 network : 2.1 Wireless connection (that have Internet connection) 2.2 VirtualBox network (that no network to access internet)
Check my IP Address from wireless connection (2.1) Example : 192.168.aa.bb subnet : 255.255.255.0 gateway: 192.168.aa.1
Open my VirtualBox network n I found this: IP Address : 192.168.xx.yy subnet: 255.255.255.0
Make IP from Wireless as Preferred DNS Server
Change subnet from VirtualBox to 255.255.0.0 (because aa different with xx, so I use subnet class B --> 255.255.0.0)
And I successfullly login in genymotion to choose n download new virtual device.

So, this is my final setting for VirtualBox network:

IP address: 192.168.cc.dd

Subnet: 255.255.0.0

Default gateway: -empty-

Preferred DNS server: 192.168.aa.bb --> IP my internet connection (2.1)

Alternate DNS server: -empty-

Hope my answer can help U.

The way i fixed it:

1.- Unplug LAN cable, connect to my WiFi network 2.- Retry to sign in to Genymotion

And it worked :-)

aysonje · Accepted Answer · 2016-03-23 07:59:31Z

If "Remember my credentials" is checked, try logging in with it unchecked. It asked me my credentials every time, but it works.

Fouziya Parveen · Accepted Answer · 2017-03-14 04:02:35Z

I faced the similar problem, I just unchecked the http proxy setting in Setting->Network->Use http Proxy, and logged in. The problem is solved. If this does not work go to Genymotion Site and try edit the password and try again. Hope this will help.

Just login to the website, https://www.genymotion.com (on your browser) and your problem will be fixed.

If doesn't: Search for your WiFi's server IP (ex. 192.168.1.1).
Go open your VirtualBox>Preferences>Network>Host-Only Network.
Edit: VirtualBox Host-Only Ethernet Adapter Change IPv4 Address to your Internet's IP and also all other similar to the former number you've replaced.

Please try not to answer with "I had this problem too." Plus, another answer here already said the same thing.

Hey @cricket_007 I've improve my answer so please rank up. ☺

OneCricketeer Over a year ago

I didn't downvote. The guide should also say not to ask for upvotes. I only upvote answers that personally help me, so since I don't have this problem, I don't think I should do so
