I am currently working with a handset that has an eri banner animation that plays on power-up and when you return to the oem main-menu from a call. Unfortunately this means that my app crashes after a suspend/resume event, as the animation and the app resume happen simultaneously, producing a heap size exceeded error, and requires pulling the battery to get the handset working again. This doesn't happen when the eri banner is turned off from the oem settings menu, but clearly I can't count on the user doing that (or submit for nstl testing).
What I would like to do is switch it off from inside the app, either on load, or as part of the app suspension. Failing that, I would settle for just being able to tell what it was set to, giving me the option of splashing an error on app start and quit out.
The phone is a samsung u490 EVDO, and though I am olding out hope for this merely being a pre-comm issue, I would appreciate any suggestions for implementing this now rather than later.
