Blank screen after restarting start activity (failed binder transaction)

Question

I have this really strange problem when my application sometimes shows a black screen when I try to restart it. Sometimes this happens, and I really can’t find a solution after digging my code in a few weeks!

Here's how it goes: I open the application, do something, and then return to the main screen. After a few hours, I started the application again, and it opens only a blank screen (without ANR or even something abandoned!). I also added some log messages to the onCreate () and onResume () methods, but they never appear. The logarithm shows me a lot of "FAILED BINDER TRANSACTION" errors when this happens. Besides various other streams, I do not transmit any images or large objects through any intention. "TransactionTooLargeException" is NOT thrown.

So here is what my data /anr/traces.txt looks like (unfortunately, my application itself is not "traceable"):

And this is my dumpsys.txt:

My testdevice where this happens: Samsung Galaxy S1 (android 2.3.6)

A blank screen does not appear on my ICS phone (LG Optimus G)

Any ideas?

Are you using the AdMob SDK in your application? I solved this problem by downgrading version 6.4.1 to 6.2.1 ...
