Yeah, I don't experience force closes in Pictures. Stoyan, I am serious, it's a stable platform. When I say "once in a great while", I mean like once a month. It's rare, and doesn't require a reboot even when it does happen.
And Stoyan - in that case, yes, you show a popup window explaining what happened, suggesting a solution, and then closing. That will still suck, but will you get 10x better ratings on the Market than a Force Close, which everybody detests, and nobody understands. -- Eric On Mon, Mar 23, 2009 at 11:39 PM, David Turner <[email protected]> wrote: > > > On Tue, Mar 24, 2009 at 3:06 AM, mask <[email protected]> wrote: >> >> Picture app in G1 is written by Google and it force closes all the >> time, sometimes totally unusable. > > This not normal at all.
