'Control phone' kills Kindle

Hello

Firstly, thanks again for the wonderful MyPhoneExplorer. It really is an astonishing app - especially for free (though I have contributed - it's worth it!)

BUT... a bug report.

I have a Samsung S7 Edge running Android Nougat and I have - among other things - MPE and Amazon Kindle installed. Both work fine, I connect and synch my contacts with MPE and Outlook, and read Kindle books. BUT as soon as I use the 'control phone' feature to mirror the phone on my desktop, Kindle stops working and crashes on load. And it stays broken until I reset the Settings app and reboot the phone.

I couldn't understand why at first, sent bug reports to Amazon and Samsung and had some support advice from both but they couldn't fix is. So I have spent some days trying to narrow it down and it's definitely caused by viewing the phone on my desktop. 100% reproducible. Kindle works fine until I open 'control phone', at which point Kindle is broken until I reset Settings and restart the phone.

Not sure what else I can tell you but please email if you want any other information.

Jerry

...and also kills 'Torch'!

Same problem with S7 Flashlight/torch. Does not work after remote 'control phone' is activated, and phone requires a reboot before I can use it again.

Works fine here. Though I use a custom ROM, though based on Samsung's software.

Just to add, I'm on a Galaxy S7.
