Hi Stephen, For what it's worth, having just turned off the copy protection on one of my apps, here was my experience:
- I thought this bug was fixed in 1.5 based on the status and comments in the bug tracker: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=2066#c7 - My app requires >= 1.5 to begin with (minSdkVersion="3" in my manifest) so I thought I'd be ok. - I tested on a few 1.5 devices and it did indeed appear to be fixed. - I flipped the switch and found out that certain specific 1.5 devices still experience the problem. Specifically I'm getting complaints from users of the HTC Hero and Samsung Behold II. I guess HTC/Samsung didn't fold the bug fix back into their ROMs in time for release. - I haven't been able to confirm a case yet where the user was running >= 1.6 and experienced the problem. Keep in mind though, that not all my users are willing to send me their firmware versions so I can't be 100% sure. But so far, it looks like it's only a problem on certain models running 1.5. Hope that helps.
