Engadget Mobile Podcasts causing PodTrapper to reboot phone

New postby French on Thu Jul 01, 2010 5:48 am

I just added the Engadget Mobile podcasts to PodTrapper and they downloaded overnight as expected (I am set up to download at 3:00 a.m. when a power source is detected).

However I've tried to listen to the 2 podcasts downloaded and each is throwing the phone into a reboot. I get a white screen that flashes too fast to really see what it is saying.

What's weird is that all the other Podcasts I've been listening to (Crackberry, TCPJ, Android Central) are working fine and not causing any reboots.

I can try deleting and readding the Engadget Mobile podcasts again but it just seems odd that there are no indications other than this reboot, that there are any issues with Engadget. If it matters I added Engadget using the add capability of Podtrapper (searching for it). I did not add via direct RSS feed or anything.

Hi there,

It's actually caused by changes RIM made to the OS (right around 5.0.0.400 or so) that breaks support for enhanced AAC files. I filed a bug with them on it, but no word on whether they've fixed it or not.

At any rate, the good news for that podcast is they also publish in MP3 format:

Engadget:
http://podcasts.engadget.com/rss.xml

Engadget Mobile:
http://podcasts.engadgetmobile.com/rss.xml

Let me know if that doesn't work for you.
