Hi Guy,

need opinion on store variable. maybe my block is wrong somewhere else.  
It worked on ios but in android does not display anything.

The start and open events have a variety of irregularities between platforms and navigators. To test the issue, try using a button on screen 2 and see if you can populate the label. To understand when start and open events occur, I have found it helpful to use the SPEAK/SAY blocks. You will definitely discover some interesting behaviors.

Happy Thunking.

**UPDATE:**  
I replicated the problem on my android device. If there is a loading\_icon on the screen, the open event does not occur. Do you have a loading\_icon? Visible or not Visible does not matter.

Here is a sample. it works on Live Preview Web, but not on android. ☹

This appears to be a new bug, but hopefully it will be resolved soon. In the meantime, you may need to consider these options:

1. Use the start even instead of open event
2. Remove loading icon
