Just for interests sake, I have one other Android app -- Flightradar 24 -- which crashes so frequently, it is unusable, so SD are not the only victims! I've emailed the developers and they are a bit non-plussed, but I understand that there is an imminent update on the way.

Here's a logcat file from a crash immediately after launching SD and going into simulation mode. I hope this helps.

Thanks Simon. That is the issue we are still trying to track down. It's not a problem in SkyDemon code but somewhere else, so we're trying to work with our tools provider on this.

Ok, our tools provider is tracking down the cause of the bug some are running into. We have produced an experimental build which I have made available at the link below. This shouldn't be considered a beta release but something ONLY for people running Lollipop who are experiencing severe stability problems. Others should continue to use the regular beta. We need to know if this build below improves matters for those running Lollipop.

Thanks.

Latest experimental build is still crashing on my Nexus 7.

LogCat file attached.

Simon

srayne, thanks for helping Skydemon to try to resolve this problem. Very much appreciated

Thanks Simon, that does help. It will probably be a few days before another test, at which point I'd be very grateful for your continued help.

Steve & Tim,

It's no problem now that I've managed to 'root' my Nexus.

BTW I have noticed another bug in the live plog on the Nexus 7 running latest Android (5.0.2): When pressing and holding a waypoint name in the live plog instead of the waypoint context popup menu appearing (which it used to do on an earlier beta) the Android cut/copy/paste menu is briefly displayed across the top of the screen and then disappears. Not sure when this behaviour started but it was definitely before the last experimental build.

Not sure if it's particularly helpful, but another data point perhaps. I flew with my original Nexus 7, upgraded to 5.0.2 and SkyDemon dropped back to home screen a number of times during the flight.

I see a new version was distributed a day or two ago. Does this attempt to fix this issue, or is it just a 'regular' release?

Andy

This is an ongoing problem with Android Lollipop, NOT SkyDemon, which is unlikely to be fixed until Google get their act together and release a fix. The SD team, together with their tools provider, have been doing their best to find a 'workaround' with the release of various beta's and experimental releases, but to no avail. I've installed the latest public release of SD and I'm still getting random crashes.
