Application does not start after update from Qt 4.7.2 to 4.7.3

[frsc]

Hi,

My application was working with Qt Creator 2.1 and Qt 4.7.2.
I started the updater recently after not having used QtCreator a few days.
The updater worked for a while.
After that I got an error when I tried to build my app beacause Qt 4.7.2 was missing.
Now I set up and successfully built with Qt 4.7.3 causing my device (N8) to request the new version of Qt (of course).
I installed the new .sis on the device, but now the app does not start anymore.
More exactly: I get a data exception error shortly after launching.
Has anyone got an idea?
Am I able to downgrade the device to Qt 4.7.2? I can not find and option to remove the new Qt version.
Thank you for any hints.

you should put breakpoints into the code and debug and see where it is crashing, you could also check the panic code for the crash. Basically Qt 4.7.2 had some bugs that are fixed on Qt 4.7.3, thus there wont be Qt 4.7.2 available for the Qt SDK.

Thanks for your reply.
I looked at the error more closely:
It it caused when using the compass class (sensor api)
The line:

m_sensor.start();

causes an error in the following context (constructor of Compass class):

Compass::Compass(QGraphicsPixmapItem *aItem, QGraphicsPixmapItem *aItem2, QGraphicsScene *Scene, double imageheight) :
    m_compassImage(aItem), m_needleImage(aItem2), m_Scene(Scene), m_imageheight(imageheight)
{



if (m_rate_val > 0)
    {
    qDebug() << "Compasssensor setdatarate " << endl;
    m_sensor.setDataRate(m_rate_val);
}


m_sensor.addFilter(this);
m_sensor.start();
if (!m_sensor.isActive())
{
    qDebug() << "Compasssensor didn't start!" << endl;    
}
}

Could it be that some changes were made in the use of the compass from 4.7.2 to 4.7.3?

QCompass is broken on mobility 1.1.2, it will be fixed on Mobility 1.1.3

[frsc]

Thanks for the information.
Do you know when Mobility 1.1.3 is released.

It Should be released with next release of the Qt SDK, though the schedule is not publicly available for its release dates.
