I got several reports from users that my application had lost the preferences. This is more than a year ago when the G1 was most prevalent... I switched to saving preferences in a file instead, and complaints stopped. Check the following threads for similar reports:

At any rate, I couldn't get preferences to work, whereas storing the data in files works perfect. If you have problems using preferences, I can only recommend to go for files instead.
