Yes.

Via its internal rechargable battery, will recharge it overnight with no connection to my Mac.

At home via W-Lan, at gigs no internet connection (no SIM card or something!)

No, sometimes I get the black screen immediately when I start the tablet at a gig or rehearsal, sometimes after several quit/start of the app.

Nothing remarkable here, I only fill the two polygrids (< 10 entries each) on the first card on preopenstack.

> Is there anything in the startup code for the app which waits for something to happen? e.g. an network request, something to initialize etc.?

No, nada, just what I wrote above.

Great, thanks, will remove all unneccessary files and will send it with some instructions.
