ANR error

I'm getting the following ANR reported in the Google Play developer console for my game:

ANR Broadcast of Intent { act=android.intent.action.SCREEN_OFF flg=0x40000000 }

It seems to happen, so far, for users with HTC Wildfire S phones.
It looks as though the game is hanging when the phone's screen is turned off.

Does anybody know of any reasons why this might be happening?

My guess is that your OnCreate method takes to long to finish.

Those devices are really really bad - I ended up excluding them when I published my games.

Thanks for the info.

I'll take a look at my OnCreate method, though I'm not sure I can remove much more from it.
I've not seen any problems on lower spec devices such as the Samsung Galaxy Europa.

I've still not seen a problem on anything other than the HTC Wildfire S, so perhaps excluding it is the answer.
