1

Hi all, I got the error message below after changed few scene on Samsung Galaxy Y , Android 2.3.5
I’ve tried 4 more devices and they are all work perfect.
Therefore I want to ask: Is it the device problem? Any idea I can fix the error?
Many thanks

Yep. It’s reported that some types of Samsung’s android phones are a bit different.
But we cannot reproduced this problem on Samsung GalaxyTab & Samsung Galaxy i9188, which are the only Samsung devices we have.
Perhaps you can ask this question to samsung tech support.

Hi,

Has there been any update on this problem? We’re seeing exactly the same issue on the Samsung Galaxy Y (GT-S5360).

I got the same error.

here’s a related issue on google code:
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=12378

5

is there any fix for this problem?

we have that crash in a Samsung Nexus S Android 4.1.2(Jelly Beans)

6

I have the same issue with my apps and Samsung Galaxy Y (mainly)
onResume and onPause set properly

GLSurfaceView methods calls after super methods (Cocos2dxActivity ver 2.1.1)

There’s something new about it?

thanks
Don

No fix for me.

I continue to see this catch in the crash report of my developer console

Hi, I have fixed by change malloc to new in CCTextureAtlas :slight_smile:

11

Hi Blue Wind that’s sound great, could you explain better your solution?

I checked CCTextureAtlas.cpp of Cocos2d-x 2.1.5 and I found 5 malloc.

Where I have to use new instead malloc?

thanks
Don

I think

  • new/delete use Free Store
  • malloc/free use Heap memory
    When we use many TextureAtlas, it need more Heap memory.

thanks for reply, your explanation is very useful.

Actually, I wanted to ask you, if you replace all five malloc in the CCTextureAtlas with new? or only a part of those?

thanks

Any news? Getting crash reports with this bug
