Hello,

I have added a signature field to my form and it seems to crash on my  
devices once you select "gather signature". It works on my Samsung  
GT-P7300, Android 3.1 but not on my smaller devices. I have attached my  
excel spreadsheet where I am creating my forms.

Looking for help,  
Thank you

Hi,

Larisa and I work together, it seem to be crashing on Android 4.x as all  
devices we try with ICS crashes on trying to gather signature.

Please capture the error log produced when the signature widget dies and  
create an issue:
