app 'forgets' changes i have made to settings, e.g. reverts to small screen and loses green colour option

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I am using a Samsung Galaxy S with the Pro version of this app.

I set my preferences to have the screen at full size and to use the green 
colour icon between 100% and 40% charge.

The app frequently 'forgets' these settings and reverts to default (small 
screen, no green).

I have uninstalled the app and installed again from scratch but this has 
seemingly had no effect - the symptoms remain.

Thank you for your help,

Colin

Huh, you've already done the only thing I can think of that might help -- 
uninstalling and reinstalling.  The settings are stored by Android in a very 
straightforward and idiomatic way, and if settings are getting lost, it seems 
like either a bug in your build of Android or faulty internal storage.

I think it's unlikely that the cause is a bug in Battery Indicator, but I've 
added it to my to-do list to audit the settings-related code and look for any 
possible bug that might cause settings to get lost.  Other than that, I'm not 
sure how to help at this time.

I'm having this same issue exactly. Using a Samsung Infuse 4g on AT&T. Before 
the recent batch of updates the program worked fine, but now it seems that 
after a while the program forgets all my settings.

Oh, and I am using the latest android market pro version as well.

I'm looking for any more information that might help me track it down if it is 
a bug in my code:

1) When the settings get lost, is it all settings, as far as you can tell, or 
only some?

2) When the settings get lost, does the app thank you for 
downloading/purchasing?  If truly all settings are disappearing, this should 
show up at that point, because the fact that the app has been run is just 
stored as a setting.

3) Do you have the app running all of the time (in the status bar), or do you 
sometimes close it?

4) Do you have a "Task Killer" or similar app installed?

5) Have you noticed a pattern when settings get lost?  Is there a certain 
amount of time, or a certain action you normally take before it happens?  
Anything at all that might help me track it down?

Thanks!

1) As far as I can tell, all settings are being lost. It forgets/resets at 
least the following options:
- Colors and Themes > Main Window Theme > Full Window
- Colors and Themes > Use Green Icon > Checked
- Other Settings > Enable Logging > Checked
- Other Settings > Disallow Manual Disable > Checked
- Other Settings > Convert to Fahrenheit > Checked
- Other Settings > Autostart at Boot > Always

2) I am getting the "Thank you!" popup screen when I open the program after a 
"reset".

3) I always keep this app running with the notification active.

4) I don't use any sort of task-killer. I pretty much just let the Android OS 
do it's job when it comes to managing apps.

- I can goto "Program Menu > Close", click "Yes" on the popup, and have the 
program shut down. Then, if I immediately reopen the program, my settings will 
be preserved. However, if I goto Android Settings > Applications and "Force 
Stop" the program (even after I "Program Menu" > Close it) and then start it 
again, it will reset settings and show me the "Thank you!" window.
- Usually I don't notice the settings revert for "some time" (after I've 
forgotten about it, at least...) after I configure it.
- More detailed info on my phone (not rooted, using factory ROM)
- The program preserved my settings just fine in v4 (or v3, or whatever was out 
before a week or so ago).
