Hi,
I've noticed a force close shutdown problem on a couple of apps, one of them being with prey.

Once prey is operational on my Asus Transformer tablet I notice that when I go to shutdown the tablet a force close message pops up in the background, behind the shutting down message. Unfortunately the shut down message can't be cancelled and I am unable to click report etc. on the force close message to see the exact error message.

The problem is more of an annoyance than anything. I've noticed the same problem with Toy Village which also seems to run continually in the background https://market.android.com/details?id=com.glu.toyvillage

I suspect the problem is related to a Honeycomb 3.2 issue with shutting down apps gracefully, maybe their was a change in the API.

Could you please investigate?

Cheers
S.
