Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Firefox OS Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

Attachment: Logcat_Sharing_Crash.txt

Description:
When launching or closing the Sharing app, the device will occasionally crash, and reboot itself.  This may occur on a freshly flashed device, and does not require there to be existing user data, or other apps open at the time this occurs.

Note, each time this issue has occurred, it has produced a unique crash report at crash-stats:

In IRC chat, nhirata_ mentioned this looks to be a garbage collection issue, possibly related to memory corruption.

Note, the repro rate is low, and I haven't been able to find device conditions that cause this issue to occur more reliably.

Repro Steps:
1) Update a Aries to 20150924111215
2) Reset the device in Developer mode by launching a Spark app and following the instructions (tap 10 times, etc.)
3) From the homescreen, launch the Sharing app.
4) Long press the Home button and close the Sharing app.
5) Repeat steps 3 and 4 multiple times, the crash occurs either when launching, or when closing the app.

Actual:
The device crashes, displaying a black screen, then the blue Firefox logo as the device reboots itself.

Expected:
Device does not crash when launching or exiting apps.

Any reason it was thought this was related to layers? I don't see any reason it would belong there.

Closing all intermittent test failures for Firefox OS (since we're not focusing on it anymore).

Please reopen if my search included your bug by mistake.
