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.
