Every time I restart my phone it uninstalls the Pocket Legends app from my phone and I have to re-install it every time. Just wondering if It's a fluke or been happening to anyone else too. I use the HTC incredible.

Doesn't happen on my Nexus One, but I rarely restart the phone.

Curious: did you install through the Market, or the .apk directly?

This might be related to a bug I saw on Android 2.2. The first version of the “install to SD card” feature would sometimes fail to mount the virtual file system for an application at boot, and thus consider the application missing. It seemed to happen to me a lot because I have a boatload of apps. Doesn't happen with Android 2.2.2.

I installed the apk but updated through market recently. It doesn't show up with the app. But when I reinstall it acts like it was always there. I don't have to put my email and pass in again. I searched my entire phone to be sure.

I mean It's not really a hassle since the app downloads relatively fast (about 45 seconds). It's just weird that it happens is all.

Yah, that definitely sounds like the bug I mentioned. It was fixed in updates, but you might be stuck with an older Android version. Can you check what version you're running?

It's running version 2.2 currently.

Okay. If you have the space, try “Move to phone” (put the app in the phone internal memory) and see if you still have the problem. I'm pretty sure you won't.

Alright thanks will do right away. I'm kind of not technologically inclined so I didn't know if was user error or what. Thanks mycroftxxx.:)

That's weird I have a HTC Incredible and I don't have that issue. So I don't know how to help you sorry.
