This sounds like it might be some fault specific to either Sprint's implementation of Android on Hero, something that you may have installed (though I doubt this), or possibly a hardware fault.
As a reference, how many applications do you have installed? I see that you have 116 MB worth of data on /data As a reference, I have just about 200 MB worth of /data (though split/ hacked partly (mostly) into an SDCARD due to HTC DREAM internal storage limitations) and experience no similar problems. I have to wonder if there is possibly some bad/defective segment on your sdcard. I would like you to try this; >From a maximum-installed-but-still-working state (i.e., if you added one more, it wouldn't work), remove ONE *SMALL* app, and install a BIG one (the biggest you can find so that it is bigger than the small one plus another that you would normally install to break it). If that kills it, then I would guess a hardware problem. Even if that doesn't kill it, could still be a hardware problem. Another thing you might want to do is contact sprint. BUT: if you do, they will probably ask you to wipe, which won't prove anything since it will be empty after that, so be sure that you TRY a factory reset to see if that fixes the problem BEFORE you call sprint. And finally, I hope you can do this.... I would like you to capture an "adb logcat" from the device, starting with a WORKING SYSTEM, then install an app to break it, and get it to crash. Post the output from that HERE, maybe we can figure out what is going wrong from that. On Oct 22, 5:10 am, jerry <[email protected]> wrote: > I have a Sprint Hero that seems broken.
