Palm Pre 2 frozen when I close my app

[msx]

I recently have published a webos application and a user protests because the device hangs when he tries to exit. It occurs in palm pre 2 but in hp touchpad works properly.

[Ian Price]

Yes, this is happening recently to my latest Pre 2 app too. It never used to happen. And it doesn't always hang. You can never be sure if it will or not. Sometimes takes a minute for the Pre to sort itself out. Not sure if this is due to GLB or the Pre firmware.

[MrTAToad]

Did it happen in the previous version ?

[mentalthink]

I think this it´s for something in the Beta... or the version of O:S in the palm...

I do a lot of test in the palm Pre, and never frozen after push the button... I have the 1.45?¿.. The last update can support the palm Pre ...

[Ian Price]

I'm not using the beta of the new GLB and I haven't compiled for webOS in a long while, so I'm not sure. None of my old apps have this as far as I know. Just trying them now didn't cause the hang, but neither did my new app after 5 or 6 attempts. But it does happen.

[MrTAToad]

I presume there have been no PalmOS updates recently ?

[Ian Price]

None for a while, but 2.2.4 is supposedly available, but always fails to install after downloading - tried on several occasions. Trying again now, just to make sure.

[EDIT] Nope. Failed again.

"The update failed to properly validate. This problem may usually be fixed if you wait a little while, then try again. We will try again for you in about a day."

Bull. I've been trying for weeks.

[MrTAToad]

Wonder if you the available free space is less than that needed

[Ian Price]

I've got 14.3GB available of 16GB. That should be more than enough for the OS.

It happens with both versions of GLB and always at least in my case. If anyone wants to test it, I will send him a promo code by MP.

[Wampus]

Hmm. Since some apps do this and others do not I wonder if there is there a way of generating a list of the commands used when compiling a proggy. Maybe there is a particular GLBasic command that will cause an app to hang. Comparing commands used would help.

[mentalthink]

@Msx, if you want send me a promocode... how you want... I try and tell you if frezze or not

Enviado, pero hasta las 12 creo no vale

I Found the bug which causes freezing in palm pre 2. The problem occurs when the app is working on a virtual screen and then try to get out of it. For the device does not freeze is necessary to change to the back buffer.

Thank you.

So using CREATESCREEN .... and then USESCREEN causes it ?
