@luks Ah and I'm not sure whether this is important but in about 50% of crashes, I first get a blue screen (i.e. the screen is completely blue and I can't do anything) for about 3-5 seconds. The other 50% the video just freezes and after about 1-2 seconds the phone crashes and reboots.

Hi @applee

Thanks a lot for your answer! When it crashes I see the bootsplash and it takes longer. However, after the restart the apps seem to somehow resume their work where they left it. For example, my phone once crashed while i had a timer running. And after the restart I opened the clock app and the timer was still counting down.

Also, thanks a lot for the hint about opening many apps simultaneously. Interestingly this does not trigger the restart. At least not always. I had success during my first try but not afterwards. I also tried opening many tabs in the browser with different videos, this also didn't work.

Do you know by any chance if there are log files which could contain hints about the crash? Then I could have a look at them the next time it happens.

Thanks again for your help!

Hi everyone!

I'm using the FP2 with UT already since several years and I would first like to thank everyone working on UT for their effort! I've been able to witness the progress made during this time and I think it's simply incredible!

Now, I'm writing this post because my FP2 started to crash while I'm watching videos on youtube (in the Morph browser). The behavior already started with OTA-16, but I assumed that this was probably my fault as I messed around quite a bit and probably broke something. Last week however, I completely reflashed UT OTA-17 to the phone (wiping all the existing data in the process) and sadly the phone still crashes from time to time while watching youtube videos.

I would like to open an issue in the github repo. The problem is that I can't find a reproducible way to trigger the crash/restart. I watch probably about 1-2 hours of youtube per day (distributed over the whole day) and my phone crashes about 1-2 times during this time. Sometimes it happens shortly after I started watching a video, sometimes after over an hour. Sometimes it's in a long video, sometimes in a short one. I'm not able to spot any pattern. Does anyone have an idea how I could find a reproducible way to trigger the crash/restart?

Thanks a lot for your help!

Thanks a lot for your help @mardy and @dobey ! The older version of crossbuilder seems not to work either, as you predicted @mardy. But since OTA-5 just got released I think I'll spare myself from setting up Unity8 (at least for the moment) and will just wait till I receive the update and then try to build for 16.04. Again a big thank you to both of you and have a nice day!

@mymike Thanks a lot for your idea. While trying out crossbuilder I stumbled upon another problem, namely:

Building ubuntu-system-settings for armhf and deploying to device.
Creating LXD container ubuntu-system-settings-usdk-15-04-amd64-armhf-dev using ubports-sdk:ubuntu-sdk-15.04-amd64-armhf-dev.
Error: Remote ubports-sdk exists as https://sdk-images.ubports.com
Creating ubuntu-system-settings-usdk-15-04-amd64-armhf-dev
Error: Failed container creation: The requested image couldn't be found.

It seems like the desired image couldn't be found and indeed, when visiting https://sdk-images.ubports.com/releases, the folder for vivid seems to be empty. Do you know if the image has been moved (hopefully not removed)?

Thanks again for your help!

Hi all, I'm trying to learn how to use clickable. I've got a Ubuntu 18.04 in a VM as development environment. Trying out one of the app-templates works perfectly. Now I'd like to compile the 'system-settings' app since I made a minor change to test something. What I do is:

1. git clone "link to github of system-settings app"
2. enter directory of newly created system-settings app
3. clickable --vivid (since my phone is running UT 15.04 (r3))

Then I get a bunch of cmake errors à la:

-- checking for one of the modules 'upower-glib'
CMake Error at /usr/share/cmake-3.0/Modules/FindPkgConfig.cmake:429 (message):
None of the required 'upower-glib' found

Every single one of them being a module that couldn't be found. Am I getting something horribly wrong? Does this app have to be compiled in another way? Or if not, how can I find and download the missing modules?

Thanks a lot in advance for any help!
