ICS crashes when intent.getExtras() is called - android

This happens only on some ICS devices.
What my app is doing is basically waiting for a Broadcast and then starting a service with an intent.
The intent has a bundle attached, that will be read out with
#Override
public void onStart(Intent intent, int startId) {
sets = new SettingsClass(this);
Bundle extras = intent.getExtras();
However, on some ICS devices that leads to this stacktrace:
java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start service de.bulling.smstalk.Services.TTS#418218f8 with null: java.lang.NullPointerException

The mentioned line 48 is the line where the extras are read. The same exception was issued with another service I used to call like this.
So now the question: How can I solve this problem? Is there another way of starting a service and passing it data or do I call the getExtras() in the wrong place?
Thanks!

It looks like that onStart might be deprecated, have you tried the method
#Override
public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId)

Exception while invoking HP ePrint PDF Preview Activity

I am trying to get my android app invoke HP ePrint PDF Preview Activity.
Intent intent = new Intent ();
intent.setPackage("com.hp.android.print");
intent.setClassName("com.hp.android.print", "com.hp.android.print.preview.PdfPreviewActivity");
intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
Uri uri = Uri.parse("http://www.pdf995.com/samples/pdf.pdf");
intent.setDataAndType( uri, "application/pdf" );
if (intent.resolveActivity(getPackageManager()) != null)
{
getBaseContext().startActivity(intent);
}
I am getting the below error (taken from Logcat of the device):

HP ePrint works fine when used manually. Any idea about a fix?
[EDIT] My Goal is to get a PDF file printed on the fly, a solution without preview is okay for me too.

Android voice recording crashes (straight from Docs)

I've taken the code from Android's own Audio Capture documentation and ran it to achieve just what the docs say. As is, the code crashes when I click the "Start Recording" button and the crash says the following:
FATAL EXCEPTION: main
java.lang.IllegalStateException

If I place AudioRecordTest() at the very beginning of the startRecording() method, the crash ceases until I finish the first recording and then press "Start Recording" again, the crash reappears with the following message:

The code I'm using is the exact same code as that of the docs (linked above), and the "MainActivity" file that the exception is pointing to can be found here: http://pastie.org/8682455
Any clue? what baffles me is that the code is pasted as is, straight from the docs, and still it fails..
Thanks

He uses samsung galaxy S2 (ICS 4.0.3 with tegrak kernel and ADW launcher ex)
It's difficult to find what's the problem with this exception log.
Can anybody suggest a starting point to find why this exception raised.
Thanks.
