Could the problem be that you are sending ‘Simulator only’ Capabilities to a real device? ``` language(Sim/Emu-only) Language to set for the simulator / emulatore.g. fr locale(Sim/Emu-only) Locale to set for the simulator / emulatore.g. fr_CA ``` > ---

What are the names of the Emulators that you are trying to connect to? Are the names unique? ---

> [@MuthuSelvan](#): > > adb shell “getprop persist.sys.language” If you give the above command from the command line do you get the same error? Keep in mind adb may not be in your path so you may need to type the path out. ---

> [@wreed](#): > > adb shell “getprop persist.sys.language” i check that , adb is path and also adb shell “getprop persist.sys.language” this is returning “en” when one instance is running . but my clarification is "Why i am getting “Error: Command failed: error: more than one device/emulator” when running two appium instance with two emulator running and passing the below caps : capabilities.setCapability(“locale”, “en\_US”); capabilities.setCapability(“language”, “en”); Appium will use default as english if we are not setting any local via capabilities , could you please confirm ? ---

> [@MuthuSelvan](#): > > but my clarification is "Why i am getting “Error: Command failed: error: more than one device/emulator” when running two appium instance with two emulator running and passing the below caps : I’m trying to figure out if this is a limitation of adb. But if you won’t test it in your setup then how can we know? I guess you can just keep asking the same question over and over with no resolution.
