I've always been leery of putting SQLite databases on external storage (pre-Honeycomb) for fear that I wouldn't find out about the storage being mounted in time to prevent some database I/O, and I wasn't sure what that might cause. The only other thing I can think of that's related is: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4718934/sqlite-issues-with-htc-desire-hd/4720058#4720058 It's a different model and different symptoms, but ties back to HTC SQLite oddities, which is the only reason I mention it. It's a stretch, to be certain. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://github.com/commonsguy http://commonsware.com/blog | http://twitter.com/commonsguy Android 3.2 Programming Books: http://commonsware.com/books -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
