Comment 1

[Aaron Train [:aaronmt]]

Not sure if this is Places or Telemetry component specific.

Comment 2

[Marco Bonardo [:mak]]

it's Places, I'm not sure if it's Android only.
Does this cause any issue or just this error in the console?

Comment 3

[Aaron Train [:aaronmt]]

It's completely flooded my console with hundreds of messages, that's the only thing I am seeing so far.

Comment 4

[Aaron Train [:aaronmt]]

Seems like a message is logged on any site visit

Comment 5

[Marco Bonardo [:mak]]

well, if it fails, should print that message every time you search in the locationbar.

[Marco Bonardo [:mak]]

Taras, does telemetry have known issues on Android?

It's not on on android, I don't know of any other issues

Comment 8

[Marco Bonardo [:mak]]

but it shouldn't throw if it's disabled, right?
The same probe on Windows works, I see results in about:telemetry

Comment 9

Any assumptions that telemetry records stuff should be predicated on nsITelemetry.canRecord. That might be your problem

Marco, do you have a backtrace of the problem?

Comment 11

[Marco Bonardo [:mak]]

No, not yet.  I just verified it works in Windows.

Comment 12

[Cristian Nicolae (:xti)]

The following error occurs for 3 times in Error Console:

Error: Unable to report telemetry.
Source File: jar:file///data/app/org.mozilla.fennec-1.apk!/components/nsPlacesAutoComplete.js   Line: 739

I'm able to reproduce it when I browse to http://jeremydouglass.com/gamertextually/images/gt_snowflake_tags-2-ach-large.png
Is this error related to this bug?

I can reproduce on the galaxy tab 10.1, trying to setup an env. to build Firefox for Android.  Eventually we can temporarily remove the reportError while debugging the problem.

Comment 14

[Marco Bonardo [:mak]]

in the Android console Components.classes["@mozilla.org/base/telemetry;1"] works, but Components.classes["@mozilla.org/base/telemetry;1"].getService(Components.interfaces.nsITelemetry); throws a XPC_BAD_IID error

Comment 15

[Marco Bonardo [:mak]]

ok, looks like the telemetry component is not in the Android package-manifest, mfinkle said he is going to patch it

Comment 16

[Marco Bonardo [:mak]]

should be fixed now.
