Why does one of my GenyMotion emulated devices show a black screen?

Issue

I have two devices in my GenyMotion application. One is nexus 7 4.2.2 API. The other is a saumsung galaxy s4 4.3 API. The nexus emulator starts up fine and works well. However when I tried starting the s4 emulator, the android loading screen doesn't even show up, all i get is a black screen. When I go to DDMS, the devices tab tells me that the samsung galaxy s4 is online and debuggable. Does anyone know how to fix this issue? It make more sense if both show a black screen but why does one show a black screen and the other doesn't. I don't see anything out of the ordinary in the console.

Solution

I just tested this, and notice the blank screen is due to Genymotion version mismatch. Once i downloaded the latest genymotion (v2.3.0) , i was able to see Galaxy S4 startup properly.

If you do not see the navigation bar, you can manually enable it in Configure virtual device, see below.
