[android-developers] Timezone changed intent action received too many times

One of my apps, Timeriffic, has a broadcast receiver on android.intent.action.TIMEZONE_CHANGED to recompute its alarms when the timezone changes. That works fine. The issue is that on some devices, the app receives just too many times this intent. I have logs of multiple users showing the receiver

I definitely have this problem on the Nexus One. My OpenGL performance test (using JNI/NDK pumped by java GLSurfaceView) is drawing 3 rotating Quads(8-8-8 texture) - all covering the whole screen - with blending. And I get very constant 60 FPS. As soon as I touch the screen: Frame rate drops to 43

There exists (GL_UNSIGNED_SHORT_4_4_4_4) Textures. May be this helps a litle bit. I'm not sure but switching to VBOs might not bring an improvement. My observation on a Nexus One is: VBOs are great if there are many tris (>250) to render per call. For billboards it really doesn't matter that
