Quick list of known bugs from the Wanderer
Using Samsung's Galaxy Rush with Boost Mobile. Running Clockwork Mod and SuperSu...
When I hit device's home button, upon returning to game after doing stuff, It wants to send me back to the initial load-up screen (without ever even logging out), and I have to log in, accept eula, select chr., and wait for all the loading, before I am able to take back controll of my derelict ship.
Mid warp messages get eaten... I think this is being worked on.
Due to "look around" area of my touch screen being against the far corner of my touch screen, I have trouble making right turns. Because of distance sensitivity sensor AND hitting my device's menu button (and the associated issues with control s there).
I find it very hard to see due to lack of functional font size settings (sizes too small to render properly on my devices screen. Sometimes pixelated), which are there in some cases, such as plugins etc. but never seem to change anything but my level of disappointment.
Finally
Accelerometer settings do not seem to change sensitivity of aim, as the speed stays the same, and the dampening does not seem to change. This makes it very hard to aim (May very well be due to lack of skills in this case... ..).
I had more but they seem to elude me...
I will post more in a sequel later when I get more save up.
Stay Frosty VO...
... and never stop getting better.

This happens because Android has killed off the game in the background. VO is a very memory-intensive app as far as Android apps go, and the way Android's memory manager works, it gives priority to the "active" app on the screen. If you don't want this to happen, avoid backgrounding the game for longer than a few seconds or a minute. If your device has less than 1GB of RAM, this might happen as soon as you hit Home and open something else.
Keep in mind, most of the plugins for the game were developed for PC platforms and their creators only tested them on those platforms. If you've got problems with a specific plugin, it's best to contact the creator/maintainer of that plugin.
I definitely agree with your stance about the accelerometer. I wish the game provided the same sort of calibration tool and control binding as joysticks have.

Oh ok. So its a phone problem. There was a message in the update downloading screen saying something about needing 1gb of free memory. I currently have the extra 1gb of space free on my phones device storage, but if it is the phones fault that it kills the app, I will just have to deal. I did kind of find some ways to avoid it (as I am now able to check messages and switch between game and the forum pages, vo_wiki etc.).
... another thing ive found that would help alot is, when you select numbered amounts (load/unload specifc #, buy/sell specific #, etc.), I have to delete the default "0" or "1" in order to type my custom amount. It would a little more user-friendly to have it delete all # characters and allow me to just directly type the number I would like to buy, sell, load, unload,etc., when I press the number entry field.
Hope this helpful.
