Okay, how do I figure out what's crashing on my phone?

Some background or system service is - I think - crashing on my Vibrant. This is a recent development, been happening for a few days now. I get no "xxx is not responding" message box or anything, just a telltale short vibrate, followed about 20 seconds later by a short double vibrate. I'm used to this pattern when apps crash on the phone, but never have I had it happen on any sort of background app that I couldn't identify. It's continuous too, happens consistently several times over the course of the day.

Phone reboot didn't help. Unless there's some way to figure out what's crashing, I'm thinking the next step is factory reset, which I really would prefer not to do.

Turn on USB debugging, install the android SDK, and take a look at logcat. Or, you can install a logcat reader that has the ability to save logs, and read it that way.

I've had that problem with both my launcher and my keyboard.

I think I found it... I was messing around with my TTS settings over the weekend. I went back to Pico and it seems to have stopped.

My vibrant was doing the same thing.turned out to be a gameloft game. Heros of sparta. Kept crashing the phone all day. Dont even play it. Uninstalled and all is ok.
