While developing an application for my ongoing experimentation project using a Nokia N95, I ran into a mysterious problem that was causing my application to crash. No message; it simply disappears.
This phenomenon is known as a panic. You can discover the code associated with the panic using one of many on-device tools, but popular existing ones presently do not work with S60 3rd edition and require signing of the SIS file.
Since I don't have a publisher ID, and I don't have the money to pay for one, I found a great free alternative: Y-Tasks.
- Download and install the Y-Tasks application along with it's Crash monitor plug-in onto your device.
- In the menu, locate the directory "DrJukka.com", and start up Y-Tasks.
- Open "Crash monitor" and be sure to select "Set On".
- Press and hold the Switch Application button (
 ) to open the task manager to switch to different applications. In my case, I switched to the standby screen, opened my application, and observed the panic code returned by Y-Tasks.
