874182 - Accepting a call while in the Poppit app will always kill the Poppit app in the background

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Firefox OS Graveyard :: Gaia::Dialer, defect)

Description

[Jason Smith [:jsmith]]

Build: 1.01 5/20/2013
Device: Inari

STR

1. Install & Launch Poppit
2. Start playing the game
3. On a different phone, call the phone that is currently playing Poppit
4. Accept the call
5. After a few seconds, end the call

Expected

You should return back to the Poppit game you were in.

Actual

The Poppit app always gets killed in the background. This is frustrating experience for a gamer, as their game can get abruptly killed if they answer the call.

Certainly one will always be able to construct an app such that it gets killed when you receive a call.  I don't think that's a bug.

So I'm wondering what you think is the bug here, beyond "use less memory", which doesn't need a bug, I think.

Ah fair enough. Playing around with the Poppit more, it appears to be a giant memory hog, so in any case if it goes to the background, it's going to get killed.
