[LG Optimus 2x] samarium:
Cut down logcat. FATAL EXCEPTION as seen below would seem to be the culprit.

When I start Listen, I get a popup saying "Unfortunately, Listen has stopped." Then about 5 seconds later I get another one when I try to play something, and it dousen't try anymore. This seems to match the logcat below, which points to android.privacy.surrogate.PrivacyTelephonyManager.listen(PrivacyTelephonyManager.java) null pointer exception.

Let me know if I can provide anything else. Feel free to PM me, since we are 15/9 hours out of phase.

Thanks.
