Hi：  
My mobile application crash very frequently on Sumsung Galaxy S4, does not crash on other mobile device.

I use PVRTrace get error log "glDrawElements(GL\_TRIANGLES, 6, GL\_UNSIGNED\_SHORT, 0xbb8) =\> :: Error: GL\_OUT\_OF\_MEMORY ", but the mobile still has a lot of memory

At the same time, the error log “IMGSRV: :0: PVRSRVAllocDeviceMem: Error 3 returned” was also be printed

My mobile is Sumsung Galaxy S4(GT-I9500)  
And GPU is PowVR SGX 544MP  
OpenGL ES2.0

Greate thanks in advance if someone could give me some clues for the problem
