Sometimes it is just wedged and needs to be stopped and restarted. This has happened to me with browser (uninstall it? hah!), gmail, messaging, as well as various 3rd-party apps. Unless you can model every state the app might possibly be in, including all variables of net access/loss thereof, data or data corruption, memory pressure, etc, it is unreasonable to say "oh it must be trash, uninstall it." --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Discuss" group.
