[Touch CDMA Android Development] bpedman:
Im on AT&T...

On another note....I just started having a problem where the android splash screen just keeps showing over and over (kind of like hero builds would when you have a bad resolution)...I just installed a bunch of games before this started happening...not sure if it would be related or not....

Here is some of the output from logcat right before it restarts the boot process:
