I visit a store regularly and every time to try to reference something on my phone in that store, I get UI crashes. The phone works fine everywhere else. Its a Oneplus9 running a custom rom.
Two questions:
- What could cause this? Is some sort of interference in the store crashing things? Is the bright light causing the luminosity sensor to overwhelm. Is the store trying to mess with or track my phone in some way and all my modifications, privacy configurations, etc. are choosing to crash instead of allow it?
- Do you have any ideas about how I can figure out what is causing it? Spectrum analysis with a flipper zero or something similar, logs of some kind on the phone, process of elimination? Links are appreciated if it requires advanced nerd cred (I’m probably intermediate with Linux, Android and tech in general, except networking where my knowledge is mediocre bit growing).
I am beyond curious what is going on because it is so weird that it works perfectly everywhere, but the UI keeps rebooting in this one store.
It might be a geo location thing. The Walmart app will switch modes when I go into a store. If your phone has funky things set up around that, it might break.
Could be root adblock breaking that functionality too.
Definitely running root adblock, but no loyalty apps. I’m curious how that would result in a reboot, but you absolutely pegged the type of user I am. :-)
It’s Java…so…make a call to the ad server to say you’re in the store, that returns none and no one caught the error. Poof…reboot.
I might be making shit up, but that’s my best guess. Turn off ad block before you go next time and see if that’s it.
