Fdroid apps seemed to have quit working

Hello, 

Has anyone been having trouble keeping fdroid apps working?  For some reason when I reboot my phone the setting for the "shared folder" keeps getting turned off.  If I try to launch an fdroid app under that condition it seems to crash the process that deals with fdroid, necessitating another reboot in order to get apps installed through fdroid to work again.  Of coarse when the phone does end up booting I need to remember to turn on the shared storage...  When I do get an fdroid app to launch it only takes up 3/4 of the screen and you are unable or only sometimes able to interact with UI elements along the bottom of the app window
