For what its worth, I cannot reproduce this on a non-Sprint Hero. I have had mine for a couple of months now, a European version, and has been out in Asia for a while with no reported similar errors. I am a close follower of the XDA Developers board, and it has not been seen there either. Perhaps it is now coming to light as more people are getting the Sprint version?
I have never seen this issue on my own app, but never used raw strings for the name. I installed the Coin Toss app, tried it, put a shortcut on the home screen, rebooted, and it was fine. I will be happy to try any other apps to see if this is still the case, but as I live in Hong Kong, I cannot try paid for apps, as it is not supported. My Hero is stock European, running Android 1.5, build 2.73.405.5 146733 CL#61267 release-keys Software version: 1.0.0.A6288 Kernel: 2.6.27-8dd6deee htc-ker...@and18-2) Hope this helps!
