Archos 5 Display Reset #197

What device(s) are you experiencing the problem on?

Archos 5.

What firmware version are you running on the device?

2.0.38 (1.6)

What steps will reproduce the problem?

Occurs:
 - when running a shortcut from Home
 - only when holding the device portrait
 - possibly only when using dialogs
 - only when script has exited and SL4A is returning to previous application.

At other then the above case SL4A appears to exit normally. 
During the above case, apparently when the system is restoring Home, the device 
performs a partial reset (apparently only the GUI). Every time.

The Archos 5 Home screen is always landscape so the reset might be occuring 
during the transition from portrait to landscape.

The scripts are all Rhino.

If in the script I launch another application to shift into portrait mode 
before displaying a dialog and I do not stop that package before the script 
exits then the display remains portrait after SL4A exits and the device does 
not reset. If I do a stop package (or did not even start it) then the reset 
occurs as I have described.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

SL4A R3. Android 1.6.

This seems to be a defect in Archos, not in SL4A, because it occurs with other 
applications also. It may be that these applications are doing some common 
thing while exiting that others are not doing, and that this one common thing 
is making Archos's defect evident, so please at least take a look at it and see 
if a workaround to the Archos defect is obvious.

This problem has stopped. It might be due either to my virtual keyboard (Ultra 
something) or to a task killer I was running.

Please delete this issue.
