I have an app that I published about 10 months ago using BT 3.0, but people reported that it would not work on some Samsung Galaxy devices. I could not reproduce the problem myself as I didn't have a Samsung, but I found out that with BT 2.x it didn't show the same issues. I'm revisiting the app now and I've found the genymotion emulator for the Samsung reproduces the BT 3.0 fault! It must be quite accurate. Fixing my app will be another problem. I know genymotion has been mentioned before but I suspect it's come a long way.

I also have issues from time to time with a device I don't have (and I don't have many). I've been putting it off for too long, I guess. Do you know if it works with Android Studio as well?

Before I integrated it into Eclipse, I found that you can just drag your APK over a running emulator and it will load and run it.
