So it sounds like the previous app took to long to fully close which caused my app to hang and lock up ?

In that case I am guessing nothing can be done in my app to fix this?

No. It is something in Service_Create / Service_Start of the starter service or Activity_Create in your main activity. If you only see a single report with this crash then it might be a good idea to ignore it...
