[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] svyr:
thanks for that. Don't really mind either it or normal ADB.

Heh, unfortunately I don't see anything interesting in the log...

Aside from maybe it being littered with messages of the sort:

... Kill com.gau.golauncherex.notification (pid 18332): provider com.android.providers.contacts.CallLogProvider in dying process android.process.acore

... Sending signal. PID: 18332 SIG: 9

...

21:02:32.198 Warning ActivityManager 1908 Scheduling restart of crashed service com.google.android.apps.maps/com.google.googlenav.friend.android.LocationFriendService in 5000ms

where android seems to kill off apps and even services for a good measure. (or they crash?)

Memory fluctuates between about 60 and 30mb depending on the open processes, and it seems like having opera mobile opened with 5+ tabs and gmail and im+ and maybe market all at once ends up killing most of those to free up memory and maybe not die. That to me mostly means - tough luck your phone is sh!t and you should've bought a phone with more than 192mb (128mb?) ram? (or maybe - gee I wonder how I make it stop killing processes and services and what happens if it experiences a really low memory problem (<15-20mb) and can't kill processes and crash services.

Unfortunately I was unable to replicated a restart on my unit, if anyone has an idea of what to do to crash their phone let me know and I'll try it.

Generally mine reboots if I try to do too many things (market, opera, im+, etc), but now opera just closes instead of everything rebooting. (admittedly it's not an ideal outcome either, but somewhat better than a restart)

The worst I could get so far is (no idea what it means either):
