Apps Thousands of alarms from com.android.email

Hey guys, while working on an email widget I noticed the default vanilla 2.2 email app was going crazy. It's randomly repeated this behavior a few times over the course of the day. Basically I'm seeing this:

08-07 15:58:31.834: DEBUG/dalvikvm(226): GC_EXPLICIT freed 4590 objects / 222840 bytes in 159ms

This happens faster than the Eclipse's LogCat can even keep up. I can stop the behavior if I go into my Exchange email and let it sync. Going into any other email (IMAP) does not stop the behavior. When it stops, I notice a log entry of:

08-07 16:01:47.354: WARN/Cursor(693): Close cursor android.database.sqlite.SQLiteCursor@463aa590 on Message twice or more


Any ideas what may be causing this?

Have you got a pre-release version of 2.2 as Verbose log error's should never be in a compile release. Please check your install.

I'm running on an HD2, the Email.apk is from a Nexus One FRF91 dump.

Thanks.

I think that'll be the reason then, the Email.apk you have is a development build, or isn't compiled correctly and so this is why you can see Verbose debug

That would make sense then. I'll let those tracking the post where this APK came from know. Thanks!
