sorry, my fault, I obviously have an older version of the tablet and it does in fact run Android 8.1. However it is not upgradable. > In any case, you can keep memory usage lower if you delete or disable all > apps and processes you don't need. You can do that in Settings/Apps.

But if it would be a memory issue, then it would happen more often, I think. The problem is that this is not reproducable, it happens out of a sudden if it happens. Even the hardware BACKKEY does not work in that situation, only the HOMEKEY so I can at least quit the app. > -- > Jacqueline Landman Gay | jac...@hyperactivesw.com > HyperActive Software | http://www.hyperactivesw.com > On August 10, 2023 5:03:24 AM Klaus major-k via use-livecode > <use-livecode@lists.runrev.com> wrote: > >> Hi friends, >> >> maybe you remember my problem, that my app >> turns into a black screen occacionally. >> >> This has happened again about four or five times since >> I reported it here. >> >> This never happens at home, only when I am at a band >> rehearsal, but never at a gig (fingers crossed). >> >> Restarting the dveice definitively cures this, thank you Panos, >> but sometimes, especially at a gig, I do not have the time to >> do so. :-/ >> >> So any further hints highly appreciated! >> >> macOS 12.6.8, LC 9.6.9, android 5.1 on a SAMSUNG TAB A tablet. >> I'm mainly using the PDF widget if that matters...
