Cobra's right on the money as usual. We've had quite a few pilots lose some flying time (and probably hair) to troubleshooting screens that they thought were dead, but were just in night mode.
Flybuddy, as for your auto-loading of iFly, that's a setting you can turn off.
- From the map, go to Menu -> Exit Application -> Run in Background to get back to the main menu
- Open Settings
- Go to the Screen tab on the left side
- Change Start Program setting to "Main"
