This sample project works fine on Honeycomb:

If you have an app in production, you should be doing something to get
stack traces (e.g., Android Market console, ACRA, Flurry), which
should help you determine where things are going wrong.
Bear in mind that having android:screenOrientation="portrait" does not
stop Android from destroying and recreating your activity. Hence, you
still need to use onSaveInstanceState() and/or
onRetainNonConfigurationInstance(), just as you do for any other
configuration change (dock, locale, etc.).
