OK, if I have the time I will wait next time and see what happens.

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.

Yes, will do, thanks for the hint!
