I am currently developing an app that seems to hang my Windows Phone 7 phone. If I start the application and then press the home button or use the back arrow and then repeat this several times then the phone actually hangs in the middle of the app start animation and I need to restart the phone.
To troubleshoot this issue I created a new project and removed all my code and put there my xaml and animations only. My xaml with the animations inside are about 2800 lines long. When used under debugger no exceptions are thrown nor any other error messages are shown.
I created a project for demonstrating my issue. Here are the steps to reproduce the problem
- Open the project in Visual Studio
- Select Windows Phone 7 Device
- Run the application.
-
Start using the home or the back button to quit the app and then relaunch it again and again.
- Repro_Crash – This is the project that I am using to reproduce my issue.
- Image of the Crash – from this point I am forced to restart the phone.
I am looking for hints or tips regarding how to figure out what is happening!
I’ve tried your project and it runs perfectly fine on my HTC HD7 NoDo. It displays only a large wall of letters without any animations and does not crash the phone. I’m using the latest Mango Beta 2 Refresh SDK.
