Results of tests over the weekend indicate that we have now identified and fixed the most common cause of instability within SkyDemon for Android, so we will be interested to hear your feedback. The simulate feature will probably still be intentionally broken in today's beta.

Note that it happened after a quite long test session, using the "simulation roller coaster mode" for 80 minutes! Before, I was able to generate a crash in less than 2 minutes.

Mike, How do you get hold of your crash logs - have you rooted your device? Simon Edited 5/13/2014 8:49:12 AM by srayne

With SD not generating this "report popup" we're missing so much, this is the less difficult way to contribute crash logs. M

Group: Forum Members Posts: 7.8K, Visits: 8.4K	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.
