The first time I used this app it worked great.  The next day during the planning phase I started getting rendering problems.  Now it seems everytime I use it I get rendering problems and within a matter of minutes. It happens all the time, and most of the time, all it does is come back to the main ifly screen and then back and locks up and then states starting the rendering propblem.  Like I said it worked great the first leg of the trip, after that all I get is re-rendering about every 5 minutes.

I am using a Samsung tab E tablet with 32 gig memory.

 

Thanks

Could you explain more about what happens during this "re-rendering" behavior?  If there's any chance you could post video of the behavior, that would be helpful.

In the meantime, if you're using a phone or a tablet, you can file a bug report from within the program:  Menu > About > Send Bug Report.  By default, it will link to the log file of the previous run (so for example, if the program were to completely crash and shut down, you could re-launch and send the default log to report that event).  You also have the option to send logs from earlier runs, so you can send multiple bug reports and a different log file each time.  The app will launch your default mail app, auto-generate the email with the appropriate log data, and give you the opportunity to add your description of the problem before sending the message.

I will have to give that a try. As of this post it has become usless. Tried today and all it would do is freeze, go to the opening Iflygps screen, sit there for a few minutes and then come back on saying Automatic re-rendering has started.  Everytime I touch the screen, or move the map it does the same thing. I also have DoridEFB wich is working perfectly, as this did at one time.

I sure wish I could see a video of what you're describing.  I've never seen or heard anyone else report seeing a message from iFly about "automatic re-rendering", and I don't really understand what that means.

Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app?

Cobra, thanks for your support here.

Cobra is right in guessing that a reinstall might be the best solution here.  These symptoms are unheard of, to date, which indicates that it's likely a result of some physical failure on your device (could be file corruption).  It could also be indicative of the early failure of the SdCard (which is #1 leading cause of these one-off weird behaviors), as a failing SdCard can cause sporadic file corruption. 

Reinstalling, often helps.  If it then recurs, it often indicates the SdCard failure, and the fix is to replace the SdCard with another name brand card.

Next time you get it to run, and it starts misbehaving, please do the Menu => About => Send Bug Report, so that I can see the log, and please reference this thread or forums name here, so that I'll know who you are, and what symptoms you are reporting.
