    For Android Studio projects you can do the following:

    If you need to change net speed temporarily, then on an emulator toolbar, click three dots (settings), go to Cellular tab and configure the network speed there. You need to have a recent Android Tools.

    If you want to set this speed permanently for some emulator image:

    1. Open menu Tools -> Android -> AVD Manager
    2. Select/create your emulator avd image, click Edit
    3. Click Show Advanced Settings button

    4. Set the desired net speed

      Speeds for reference in increasing kbps:

                              UP       DOWN
                  -------- ----------

    5. Re-launch the emulator

    OLD ANSWER (obsolete)

    If you are working in Eclipse, go to Run->Run Configurations, select your run configuration and then go to “Target” Tab. There you will find a “Network Speed” combobox (under the “Emulator Launch Parameters” section).

    If you are running emulator from command line, then you can use “-netspeed” cmd line parameter (run emulator -help-netspeed for overview of possible options)
