Well, I wouldn't exactly call it a crash, maybe unresponsive.
Here is the thing:
I use Safaricom MSP (Kenya) and mobile money is a big deal here. So naturally safaricom have a sim app for the service. Their sims come with 2 main menus:
Safaricom+ - for usual stuff - like checking balance, 411, airtime purchase, etc
and
M-PESA - for mobile money transfer.
Supposing I have just restarted my phone, if I click on the stk app the first time, I can access the 2 main menus on the sim and drill down to the submenus; basically carry out the transaction to the end.
The problem comes if I want to carry out another transaction from either of the 2 menus (Safaricom+ or M-PESA)
When I click on the Stk app, it opens normally and displays the 2 main menus.
That is as far as it goes. If I click on any of the menus, nothing happens. The radial process indicator just turns for like 3 cycles but the app does not open the submenus.
The workaround is to restart the phone (works 100%) of the time or to turn the airplane mode off, then on (works some, not all, of the time).
I also need to point out that I have tested my sim card on other phones and ruled out a sim issue. My friends' sims behave the same way on my phone, so it's definitely an issue with my phone.
This is a section logcat when the app is working ok (after restart or flight mode):

That's as far as it goes
