Could you elaborate on this? I do use statics for storing user data and
looking at some of the reported bugs, it's certainly possible the null
pointers could have been initialized from that static data at some point,
but I don't see how this static data would be uninitialized.

If you're updating, I'd expect the current version of the app to be closed /
shut down and your static data to be wiped, for sure, and re-initialized on
re-opening. Or am I missing something regarding Java statics or the Android
update process?
