Switch from one Activity to another one results OOM error on Samsung device

Question

I have one Activity with 3 Fragments and another Activity with 3 Fragments. In each Fragment I have 10 PNG pictures, each about 8kB in size. When I switch from the first Activity to another I get this error:

I've tested the app on a Blackberry 7' tablet, Alcatel OT phones and on Samsung phones and only on the Samsung Core2 I get this crash.

@ Daniel Nugent this is twilight zone. I saw http://stackoverflow.com/questions/21021127/binary-xml-file-line-17-error-inflating-class-unknown-caused-by-unsupportedo, doesnt help. — Stanojkovic, Feb 27 '15 at 00:36

I've tried various ways to implement something more creative, such as:

    BitmapFactory.Options options = new BitmapFactory.Options ();
    options.inJustDecodeBounds = true;
    ...

to make better prevent the outflow of memory but I had no success. In the end I decided to use

    android:largeHeap = "true"

under the tag of my application manifest file, and that solved my problem. Perhaps this solution is not desirable but is effective.
