My application gets data from remote server with urllib:

usock=urllib.urlopen("http://111.10.12.12/chk.php?imei="+imei)
us=usock.read()

And it works fine.
However when I run this app a few times screen goes black and phone reboots.
After commenting out the above lines everything works with no problem.
Tested on two phones: E51 and E90.

hi pantomas
can you tell the dibo what you are trying to read using

usock.read()

i think that may cause the problem.
waiting for your reply

The problem is with the URL that you are trying to read.

I tried to open this

http://111.10.12.12/chk.php?imei=123456789012345

I think you want to do a similar thing where the IMEI would be the last 15 digits in the URL.

My PC browser gives me the error

The connection has timed out

The server at 111.10.12.12 is taking too long to respond.

and the phone browser tells me

Connection timed out

As I said it works fine. I can read data from server many times when this application is running. When I exit app and start it again it works fine again. I exit it and start again ad still it is working fine. Then I exit it and everything goes black and the phone reboots.
Exit means I exit the app and then I exit the python shell.

Python 1.4.2

croozeus: sorry I didn't mention it, this url is not real, I didn't want to expose real address

gaba88:
I tried three different codes (below) for data reading, they are working fine and as a result I get exactly the data the server is responding (it is a list: [21,122] )
The problem arise when I quit and run the app again

url="http://190.22.22.22/chk.php?imei="+imei
file="E:\\Python\\urltemp"
urllib.urlretrieve(url,file)
ff=open(file)
us=ff.read()
ff.close()

parms = urllib.urlencode({'param_1': 'value_1', 'param_2': 'value_2'})
# form contents
headers = {"Content-type": "application/x-www-form-urlencoded", "Accept": "text/plain"}
conn = httplib.HTTPConnection("190.33.33.33")
conn.request("POST", "/chk.php", parms, headers)
response = conn.getresponse()
us = response.read()
conn.close()

I can't really think of something that your doing, which makes the phone to reboot after several launches.

What else does your script contain? or only this code?

hi pantomas
sorry but i am also confused i am not getting the point why are you restarting the application.
or is it like your application runs only for one time and when you try to run it again it gets blank.

[pantomas]

In everyday use one don't keep applications running all the time. Say, web browser. When I want to check something on the web I start up browser but usually i quit it when it is no longer needed.
So in my case, this app I am working on allows you to be run three times and then for unknown reason your phone reboots.

Well, I am very surprised, it is not my first Symbian app.

The answer for croozeus question:
This is small business application that allows user to access some data from server to be edited on the phone. Really, nothing very complicated. Some menus, selection lists, local database.
As I said, when I remove the urllib code this problem doesn't show.

Maybe it has something to do with internet connection. There is no option to close it after retrieving data and it closes when I exit shell.

This problem appears when using wlan connection.
With GPRS connection everything works fine.
Maybe it is some general problem in Symbian or in Python?

Yeah. Sounds like a firmware bug. No Python application should be able to cause a device reset. Or it could be a massive memory leak in one of PyS60 modules, although Symbian OS usually catches those.
