Maciej said:

In Sub Service_Create I create the file and write into it.
Actually the file is not created.
I also raise a notification which is not displayed.

'returns state of DirDefaultExternal - unmounted, mounted or shared
Public Sub myStorageState As String
    Dim r As Reflector   
    Dim ExternalStorageState As String=r.RunStaticMethod("android.os.Environment", "getExternalStorageState",Null,Null)
    Log("[myStorageState] -- Storage state is:  " &ExternalStorageState)
   
    Return ExternalStorageState
   
End Sub

It could be that you are attempting your write operation before memory is fully initialized. Below is a sub that I wrote for a situation similar to yours. Don't attempt your write until it returns mounted

Public Sub myStorageState As String
    Dim r As Reflector  
    Dim ExternalStorageState As String=r.RunStaticMethod("android.os.Environment", "getExternalStorageState",Null,Null)
    Log("[myStorageState] -- Storage state is:  " &ExternalStorageState)
  
    Return ExternalStorageState

Can you check the logs and see if the service is created message is being shown?

But you start your app at least once after installing before rebooting?

It seems that launching the app once before rebooting solves the issue. I wonder why ?

check that fast boot is disabled if such a feature exist's on your device. I had the same issue on a HTC on X. I would recommend a timed delay of about 20 seconds in the boot service before you initialize your storage to allow storage to be initialised.
