830208 - [FMRadio][Video] Switching between FM Radio and Video is problematic - OS crashes

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Firefox OS Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[Marcia Knous [:marcia]]

unagi, seen while running

Gecko: 8f2ef4998b60
Gaia: 45a3196a5517

Note sure if this is similar to related to Bug 826829

Perform these steps with no other apps running:

STR:
1. Start the FM radio app and tune to your favorite station.
2. Hit the home button to switch to the Video app
3. Once in the video app start playing a video.

Expected: I would be able to switch back and forth between these apps with no issues, and the audio on FM radio would stop when the video starts playing:

Actual: 

Several things happen pretty consistently, all resisting in the OS crashing and the phone having to be rebooted/battery pulled:

1. I freeze in the video app and have to reboot the phone
2. The video starts playing and it freezes while it is playing - I then have to reboot the phone. Sometimes the video freezes and I start hearing the FM radio playing. Eventually without doing anything the phone will reboot on its own.

I don't seem to have any crash reports in my crashes folder, and sometimes DDMS freezes - I will try to get a logcat.

Hi Marcia,

Would you check your kernel version, |adb shell cat /proc/version|? If the date is "Tue Oct 16 07:34:52 PDT 2012", you should update your kernel. The latest version I know is "Wed Dec 5 04:47:49 PST 2012". This kernel fixed the reboot problem of FM radio.

Steven: The builds we test in the pvt directory are supposed to have that version in it - will have to check with rel engineering to see what is going on since the version on my phones is showing as October 16.

Since I updated to the new kernel I have not yet been able to reproduce this issue, but I will give another update when I finish the smoketest today.

I have not seen any further crashes since I updated the kernel on my device.
