Everybody thinks that. Then people wonder why their phones are so slow. :-( I really encourage you to think through whether your application absolutely positively must run automatically without user intervention when the phone starts up. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com Android Training on the Ranch! -- Mar 16-20, 2009 http://www.bignerdranch.com/schedule.shtml --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
