I recently reinstalled Windows 8 CP, Visual Studio 2010 Professional and both the WP7 SDKs. My emulator map is just a white screen - the interface is present but there's no map.
I have an internet connection and I've reinstalled both SDKs.
Does anybody know what could be wrong?
Thanks!
Yes, the emulator location tool is not working for some reason. It has already been asked here, and I gave a suggestion on what to do both there and on my blog.
I hope this will get you going! :-)

I've recently run into the problem of the Android Emulator not deploying and showing a black screen instead.
I've been working on this problem for 24 hours now and I can't seem to fix it.
Even a blank Xamarin.Forms Project causes the Black Screen. I guess the path of the Android SDK might be wrong? (but I don't know how to fix it...)?
I got it resolved by running VS as administrator
Try it out.
trying to launch XAP and it's just stuck loading, I checked the settings and it's stuck on 'Acquiring IP'. I've tried to repair it in Control panel& programs, same thing. It worked fine yesterday, I didn't change anything.
Using API 19, and Windows 7.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Xamarin Android Player is discontinued, it is recommended to use Android simulators for Visual Studio or Google x86 emulators
I am having some issue when running a Xamarin.Forms application in the Android Emulator using Visual Studio 2015. At the beginning everything was working OK. Every time I did a change either in XAML or C#, when I rerun the emulator I can see the changes (without closing it).
Now, for some reason if I do the same, those changes are not applied in the Android Emulator. In order to see any change, I need to close the emulator and click the green play button again every time.
For example, if I want to change the FontColor of a label to be Blue instead of Black in XAML, before just clicking the restart button was enough to see the change. For any C# change, clicking the stop button and then the play button was enough as well.
Now, to see the same result I have to close the emulator and reload it again. Which take some time.
Has anyone have faced the same problem? Any help/ clue would be ver helpful?
Thanks!

I suggest to get rid of the Hyper-V based VS Android Emulator and use the Intel HAXM
native Emulator. I experienced much simular
issues with Hyper-V emulator, too.
Or much better get rid of any emulator and use
vysor.io and visualize your real device like an
emulator on your desktop. My personal favorit.
Hope it is helpful.
PS: Never in life use GenyMotion. That doesn't work in Remote Desktop Sessions and only runs
on windows machines with OpenGL 2.0 installed
and HAXM and Hyper-V disabled. I currently had that disappointing experience.
A really cool tool for XAML Preview is Gorilla Player!
I am using xamarin studio community edition on my macbook pro. when I try to run any sample project on android emulator it takes infinite time.
Can you please suggest. FYI It was working previosuly . Please check screen shot Android emulator error
I would highly suggest using the Xamarin Android Player instead of Google's default emulator manager.
The Xamarin Android Player is much faster and more reliable in my opinion although I have also heard that choosing different Google Play emulator images can make a big difference. Installing HAXM can also speed up the default Intel Google Play emulator images.
Download the Xamarin Android Player from here.
*Edit: Thanks to #SushiHangover for pointing out the fact that Xamarin deprecated the Xamarin Android Player. SushiHangover suggests using the Genymotion Android emulator which I have heard good things about but have not tried yet.
I am planning to use jquery Mobile to create a mobile web app for the iPhone. Is there an iPhone emulator that Visual Studio 2010 can launch and display the app when I start the app in VS?

There are several of them, but I am not sure how close they come to the original.
Some links to try:

There's more, just google for "windows iphone simulator"
You can try this simulator as well:
