Answer 3

There is no native way to emulate jitter in genymotion, but you can try a tool like Frappe (Mac only) to send the vibration action to a virtual device. Depending on the client you are trying to emulate, the "input" input key "82" adb shell "may send a shake action, wake the device or simulate a menu key press.
