PlayerPrefs on Samsung Galaxy S

Hey guys,

PlayerPrefs on the Galaxy S don’t seem to be deleting with the app. If you use the “Clear Data” or “Clear Cache” button it doesn’t clear the PlayerPrefs ether.

I have tested the PlayerPrefs being successfully deleted with those methods on these devices, but the Samsung Galaxy S doesn’t follow the same behavior as these phones.

  • Galaxy S II
  • Nexus One
  • Galaxy Tab
  • Droid X
  • HTC Desire
  • HTC Inspire
  • EVO 4G

Does anyone know if the Galaxy S has different PlayerPref behavior? I know Samsung loves having different Hardware limitations then other phones.

P.S. - Does anyone know where PlayerPrefs are stored on Android devices? I’ver searched everywhere with no answer.

~Thanks

–UPDATE–

Since my first post, I have done nothing to solve the issue of PlayerPrefs not being deleted on the Galaxy S I9000. However, the phone stopped exhibiting this behavior and another bug took its place. Now the Galaxy S is deleting all PlayerPrefs when you reinstall the App. Unfortunately this is true for the past few updates that shipped for our game.

I factory reset the phone and it fixed the deleting PlayerPref issue. The first bug came back (Can’t delete PlayerPrefs), and now I’m stuck back at the beginning. To make this even worse, There are tons of reviews from Galaxy S devices that complain about losing data every update. I noticed a lot of Galaxy S SCH-I500 phones making reviews about deleting data on updates.

As far as I know we are using PlayerPrefs like we should. There is no other phone we have that can repro this bug. Is there no one else that has this problem?

Is this on stock android or a modified version?

Sounds weird.
I have that phone and made games for it.
If i delete the game the data is gone.
If I upgrade the data is still there.
This is default behavior on android phones.
If it do fail its often due corrupted files on the phone.
The only solution to this is to reflash a new firmware.
Sometimes a factory reset can work.
