Frozen Screen with PathAway Logo - Galaxy S3

[lgg]

I get every now and then during navigation a black frozen screen with the PathAway logo. The only solution I've found so far is to kill the app. I am using Samsung Galaxy S3. What is this frozen screen? Bug? How can I get rid of this frozen screen?

Regards, Lothar

I also have the same problem with a Lenovo A2109a tablet. The pathaway logo appears then - nothing. Killing the app usually solves the problem.

In the mean time I have noticed that if I wait long enough, Android tells me that PathAway is not responding anymore. This seems to be a hang situation in PathAway.
Is anybody from PathAway monitoring this forum? My original message is a month old, and nobody commented.

Scott is the only one who answered the questions in the forum. But only very sporadically.

Hi guys,
I'm aware of this problem happening occasionally. If we can reproduce the problems, they can be fixed. I believe the updates we're working on will provide more stability. In the meantime, if you have a repeatable set of steps we can follow to reproduce the problem, then please fill out a problem report and send it to us.

i have the same problem with a Samsung s3 and a Acer iconia Tablet. with the Tablet i could solve the problem by locking the screen so that the screen does not tourns arround by turning the tablet. i did not try this bugfix with the Samsung. But the tablet was stable during a tour through the woods .

Hi,

i could test it today with the Samsung S3 mini and turining the automatic screen-turning off fixed the problem. pathaway was stable for many hours.

Hi,
this week end I've made a 2 day trip with PA. I have switched off the Android automatic screen rotation. I did not see the PA hang during this trip at all. The screen rotation really seems to cause the problem.
