First - very nice program - totally dumped OVI maps since finding this, a few months ago - congrats!
lost all POIs previously created.
Second - a quick Q for all users here: since upgrading to this new version, 0.17 (maybe related, maybe not - but on the new PR1.3 platform) the phone completely locks up after a few minutes of having the program up, and nothing, except for taking the battery out, allows me to "revive" it.
I had that same issue a few months ago several times, had to remove the battery, don't know it if had to do with my being overclocked and undervolted, but it is not a new issue.
I'm neither overclocked nor undervolted, but with version 0.16-4, the issue has just occured to me (first time I allowed ModRana to connect to Internet directly). The screen went black, the LED is green, the device ignores both power key (even long press) and lock slider. Remove battery, start up the device, and everything works fine. It has just occured in version 0.17-1, with modrana in background and X Terminal in front. GPS is turned off, as well as network positioning. Online mode is on, but neither cellular connection nor WiFi are connected. Screen can dim itself when left for several seconds, light itself when touching it or sliding the keyboard, but ignores the slider, power key and any keyboard keys. Windows cannot be switched or closed. Camera doesn't start when lens opened. "Swipe to unlock" screen and device lock don't start either. The only way out is to remove the battery. Who can recognize the bug?
Qlandkarte caused me similar total lockups, both oc'd and not, pr1.2 whilst logging tracks. So I guess something or other triggers a severe system bug...
I mentioned the locking up a few pages back. Since then i've found that undervolting using the power user kernel causes the problem. It may even be just some difference in the kernel itself that causes the problem, regardless of voltage settings. All i know is that i installed and uninstalled the power kernel twice and always had a lock up within an hour with modrana running with the kernel installed, and have experienced only one or no lock ups (can't remember for one case) with vanilla kernel. I tried increasing all voltage settings somewhat and still had the problem, so for now i've just reverted to vanilla to test without that extra variable. It's unfortunate because the ideal settings really helped battery life.
And a separate issue (in 0.16-4; I haven't encountered it in 0.17-1 yet): At first, ModRana displayed green "Downloading..." tile each time it downloaded a tile. But sometimes, the tiles are just black until downloaded. Can it be related to "NameError: global name 's' is not defined"? And also: "** this exception occured: 'ysat_11_1822_1232'".
By the way, what is options->logging for? Log a track in the main menu is the working button, while options->logging seems to influence nothing.

And, when GPS isn't available or "centre map" is off, don't redraw modrana until dragged. I agree that when "centre map" is on and GPS is available, you need to redraw continuously, (even with screen locked), but when GPS isn't available or "centre map" is off, you shouldn't redraw until user drags the map.
