Android XC Soar

[Paul Besing]

Hey guys, I have an HTC thunderbolt that I have XC Soar on....went for
a 5 hour flight yesterday and the phone arbitrarily reset after about
5 hours. I had external power hooked up to it and the battery was
fine. I'm not sure I want to replace my trusty IPAQ 310 for this
phone as a logger/computer as of yet. Anyone else seen this or having
good luck using an android version of XC Soar?

What exactly do you mean by "phone reset"?

Do you really mean "reset", i.e. it rebooted? Then it's an Android
bug, and you should contact the phone vendor for an Android update.

Do you mean it returned to the home screen, i.e. XCSoar crashed? Then
please submit a bug report:

http://www.xcsoar.org/trac/newticket

It is very important that you attach the "logcat" file. You can
extract that from your phone with the Android SDK.

Without the logcat, I cannot analyze what caused the problem. And
without your bug report, the problem will unlikely to be fixed soon.
We address crash bugs very quickly, but we need your help.

Thanks for the quick reply Max! Sorry I was not more clear. The
phone just rebooted it self as if you removed the battery and it went
through the entire boot sequence. I will contact android for an
update. While I'm here, I get this error on startup of XCSoar
though...Parse Error at Line: 1224 "DP 25:25:51 N 108.30:"

Any ideas?

This is an incomplete position, your airspace file is malformed. Two
digits must follow the trailing colon.
