Nova Air 2 - Music App Crashes the device
#1  markuk 12-15-2022, 06:26 AM
Hello
Only had the device a week and BOOX ONYX technical support don't know why my device crashes when launching the pre-installed Music app
Been through all of the setting they recommended and no luck
They are submitting my logs to the R&D team
Any ideas and thanks in advance

Do you mean your entire device stops when you try to start the app?
Or just the app crashes?

Do you have ADB working? Try this:
Code
C:\>adb shell
$ am start -n com.simplemobiletools.musicplayer/.activities.MainActivity
If it dies, open another ADB window first and run logcat in it before trying to start music.

(There's more fun over at the Onyx sub-forum https://www.mobileread.com/forums/fo...play.php?f=220)

Mmm, I'm not sure if/where the Onyx Settings (vs. stock Android Settings) has this, but try:
Settings > System > About > Build number, tap on Build Number 7 times. ("You are a developer!")
Settings > System > Developer Options > USB debugging, turn on.
Google "minimal ADB" and download it, follow directions.
ADB is a necessary skill.

You have to know what caused it.
Your system could be corrupt or it could be a bug.
Open a second window, run "adb logcat" and then start the Music in the other window.

All sorted now as they issued a firmware update on the 19th after I contacted them

Thanks for the intro into ADB
