I haven't had to deal with any significant case of writer's block yet, just instances where I had an opportunity to write but didn't have anything in particular coming to mind. I've never viewed that as a "block" exactly, just part of the creative process.
My favorite solution so far has been to take long walks at night with my smartphone. I have my work in Google Docs, and when I have an idea I'll just stop walking for a sec and write directly on my phone. (Sometimes I'll actually read, edit, and write one-handed while walking, but I can't say I really recommend that.)
I think it also helps that I'm in the habit of listening to audiobooks while I walk. It helps to keep me in a certain frame of mind so that when I'm not listening to a book on one of these walks, I'll probably have an urge to write.
