Genymotion devices try to connect to google.com at boot to verify the Internet connection.

Due to restrictions in China, this test fails.

The device thinks that Internet is not connected.

To solve the issue, manually change the network verification setting.

1) Open a shell from the device UI (see documentation)

2) Enter the following commands:

settings put global captive_portal_http_url https://www.google.cn/generate_204
settings put global captive_portal_https_url https://www.google.cn/generate_204
settings put global ntp_server 1.hk.pool.ntp.org

3) Reboot the device.

Wifi/Internet should now be reported as connected.
