I'm having an issue where some users are seeing the SharedPreferences disappearing after some time. I have two separate Actvities, one writing, and the other reading. I assume these two activities are both in the same process (they both run from the same app), but is this causing the problem? What's curious to me is that I can't reproduce the problem myself on the G1.
