Re: [android-developers] app causes reboot on DroidX after activity gets destroyed - anybody having similar issues?

Hi Diane,

The issue I'm talking about was already logged as issue 5009.
Logcat does indeed show a useful stacktrace, however I had a very hard time cross-referencing the stack trace line numbers with the actual source code. The phone I was testing on was running an eclair build at the time, so I checked all the eclair revisions but no matter which revision I looked at, the numbers never seemed to match up. Is there any way to easily determine which revision of the source code is being used by a build on a specific device?

Please file bug reports for any such crashes.

Note the output of logcat is extremely useful -- in most cases, if the system crashes, it is due to a Java crash, which will be printed to the log prior to it rebooting.  This may help you understand what is going on; it is *extremely* helpful in a bug you file since the engineer can very likely tell what the problem is and how to fix it from the log.

Any suggestion as to why a phone may reboot are highly welcome.
I've only been able to make phones reboot by triggering a crash/exception in a system process. This is standard Android behavior as far as I can tell.

This happened to me when I was implementing a SyncAdapter. I had implemented the account part, but not yet the sync adapter. Creating an account would cause a NPE in the sync process which instantly rebooted the phone. This was a real PITA to debug as the phone would reset itself before I even had a chance to capture any debug information.

Best of luck hunting down this one.

Pepijn
