[android-developers] Re: My service never runs more than few ours while other services run for days

Your advice is certainly sound, but I can sympathize with the OP's
"Service envy", thinking that his Service should also be able to
persist for days like certain others.

Then again, since he is talking about taking up as much as 10MB, he
should not be surprised that his gets killed more often than the
others. Any service that is going to persist for so long has to be
MUCH more lightweight than that, unless it is a system service.

BTW: there has got to be a better way to do this than wait forever for
incoming TCP PDUS: somebody in this group once mentioned WebTCP,
though it was never clear to me how that solves the problem.
