OK, if I have the time I will wait next time and see what happens. > The problem here is figuring out what causes it. Is it always the same PDF > file?

If it > isn't reproducible, it's very difficult to find the cause. It happen when I start the app, at that point there is no PDF loaded, just the "start card" with a couple of poly grids. It also happened in the same "session", means no switching the device off and on again. I started the device then opened my app, no problems. Then I quit my app and started again, BOOM, black screen. > If it happens to you at home some day, see if waiting 15 seconds or more puts > up that dialog. That would confirm it's an ANR.
