If anyone is still interested, I've been able to reproduce the problem, but not a lot of logging I'm afraid.
* If the device is connected via USB the problem doesn't seem to occur. * If both "Mobile Data" and "WiFi" are turned OFF, the problem doesn't seem to occur. * If either "Mobile Data" OR "WiFi" is enabled, the problem occurs (In my case mobile-data is 'dead' as the phone isn't registered with a mobile network) I've been able to capture logcat output on phone (using "logcat > / sdcard/logcat.out" from the Android Terminal app) on three occasions, but after a quick glance there doesn't seem to be much in common (don't know if this is due to output-buffering/file-flushing) Doug On Jun 14, 4:15 pm, Doug <[email protected]> wrote: > Hence my original request for information on how to determine the > cause of (what appears to be) a panic-caused reboot. > If I can determine the problem then you'll definitely see a ticket. > > In terms of unknown software - how would I go about getting access to > official pre-release (i.e. Beta or RC) versions of Android for the > purposes of dev/test?
