I'm using RoboStroke with a Droid RAZR and the accelerometer keeps locking up after 1-2 auto starts.  If I power down the phone, then power back up, do a forced close of Talos to clear the existing data, and then turn it on, it will work for the first lap (GPS and Accelerometer functional, so all measurements work).  I've got it set to AutoStart and Reset on Start.  When I start the second rowing leg, the split time & total distance continue to work properly (indicating the GPS is working), but the stroke rate shows zero and the Time and Lap Distance do not reset to 0 or start tracking.  This tells me that the app can't find the accelerometer again after the first lap.  This is really frustrating as it's erratic.  But I otherwise love the app when it's working, especially the AutoStart function that allows me to time sprints without having to press start.  Any suggestions?

Could you send a rowing log to the developer as described in the RecordingReplaying section of the guide (http://nargila.org/trac/robostroke/wiki/GuideHowToUse#RecordingReplaying)? To start/stop recording you need to tap on the distance meter. Better send two logs, if possible: 1. normal rowing - let's say 100 - 200 meters or so. 2. start recording and use it in such a way that will recreate the problem.

Thanks

I tried to send a couple of logs but got blocked due to file size.  However, I upgraded to the 0.9.4 Pre Release yesterday and rowed last night.  Over probably 20 starts, the app worked well.  Towards the end, it locked up 2-3 times but after doing a forced close / restart, it worked fine.  Looks like something int he 0.9.4 build addressed the issue of it losing connection with the stroke rate counter.
