It reads like a memory corruption issue; extremely rare and unfortunately beyond our control I'm afraid. The common crash in all the original logs you sent to us is definitely solved and should not come back.

When I do not record the flight I had no problem. Edit: I tried again the simulated mode recording the flight without crashes for more than a hour. Simulated mode freeze for me too. So it is much beter but not perfect yet. Edited 5/14/2014 7:01:02 PM by sweetpot

Group: Forum Members Posts: 147, Visits: 2.1K	Hi, After some hours (around 7 ...) of testing since yesterday: - I haven't been able to reproduce any crash, whish is great! - SD regularly freeze after 60/90 minutes. Perhaps it's a side effect of the broken simulation mode. When touching the screen after a freeze, Android allows me to kill it but it does not generate interesting logs, I'm afraid. Anyway, they're attached, as always M Attachments 3.0.7.26675_2.txt (1.2K views, 8.00 KB) 3.0.7.26675_3.txt (1.3K views, 2.00 KB)

Group: Forum Members Posts: 388, Visits: 8.3K	Thanks Mike for the info, I'll try that. Tim, I have been testing the Android beta (12th May) and also find it much more reliable - no more silent crashes yet. However, if left running on my Nexus 7 with the 'debug' simulation then on two occasions (once after 1hour and again after 1hr40mn) SkyDemon just locks up (fixed display and unresponsive to presses). Both times I have had to manually kill SkyDemon and have thus not got a debug log yet. I'll keep trying. Simon

Group: Forum Members Posts: 8.1K, Visits: 9.4K	Thanks, that is good news. It seems we may have eliminated by far the most common cause of instability, the one which all your previous logs were pointing to. This is a new one, and it's not one we've ever seen before. In fact looking at the code, it's "impossible" which may be as a result of memory corruption. Would you mind running a couple more tests to see what the results are? I'm still looking into why we're not getting a helpful popup.
