Ps: I realize my problem is a bit vague, and that I unfortunately have
few details to share to help understanding what's going on.

Maybe somebody can give me hints on what would be the best course of
action to follow the next time I encounter this problem (like look at
some specific logs, or put a breakpoint in some specific Android
class...) ?

Thanks a lot for your help.
