Repeated for maybe 500 lines inside the logcat. I have no idea what's that about also because my application looks like is not involved and was not doing anything when the fatal error occurred.

DeadObjectException is thrown when:

The object you are calling has died, because its hosting process no longer exists.

Are you binding to a service in your app? The docs say:

You should always trap DeadObjectException exceptions, which are thrown when the connection has broken. This is the only exception thrown by remote methods.

In this particular context, the "connection" refers to the service connection.
