Debugger gets disconnected on incoming phone call

I tried this two times - and it seems as if my debugger gets disconnected from the emulator when the simulated phone call comes in. Hence I can never get the debugger to stop at the OnPause breakpoint. What am I doing wrong? Anybody else hit the same issue? Thanks.

I haven't seen this issue, but a search on Google indicates that it's somewhat common without a good solution. As a workaround, can you try logging from the onPause() method instead just to see how the application pauses and resumes?

I am experiencing this issue as well. The debugger will instantly loose the connection once you start the call. Here is what I see on my side: http://gyazo.com/5d3525e39f24c6384c7ae7b22c322354

I experience this no matter where I put the debug breakpoints.
