I am using windows 7 and I need to Telnet to my android emulator to be able to run a location app. How would I go about doing that? The only tutorials I am finding have been for linux...

Use RAW as Connection Type and not Telnet.
Use the following parameters.
hostname: localhost
port: 5554

You 1st need to enable telnet because windows 7 has it disable by default: http://www.itdoescompute.com/2009/10/29/how-to-enable-telnet-in-windows-7/
Alternative, download Putty @ http://www.putty.org/ and connect to your Android. I believe its "localhost:5554"
You could simply connect to your Android via the ADB Shell instead of online; adb -e shell

I have telnet enabled already, it's just been forever and I couldn't remember how to do it. How does the adb -e shell work? Do i just put that in and it works? – Tucker Watts Aug 01 '12 at 14:01

Your welcome, just enable debugging mode and make sure you have adb and all that install (you should if you are developing for android) then just open a console and change directory to the android-sdk, where adb is located and then you can launch an app if you wish.

Putty must need some sort of configuration. When using it to telnet, I get `KO: Forbidden binary request. Aborting` even when typing `help` as suggested by the welcome message (`Android Console: type 'help' for a list of commands`) – xverges Feb 15 '15 at 23:07

@ImreL That is the key Imre... when selecting `telnet` my putty is closing every time I hit enter. this made me crazy like hell...I hate putty since then!! – Mike Jul 16 '15 at 22:42
