title: ProgressDialog loading animation stuck/frozen after 2-3 spins
body: <p>I've been trying to set-up a ProgressDialog (which somewhat works), but it seems to freeze (the animation of the little wheel thing) after about 2-3 spins. The data does eventually load, and the ProgresssDialog gets dismissed - so, all works fine, other than the fact that it freezes after 2-3 spins.</p>
  
  <p>Here's a snip of the code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>// setting up loader
  summaryLoader = ProgressDialog.show(SummaryView.this, "", "Loading summary...", false, true);
  
  // settings up and starting the helper thread that's going to load the summery data
  Thread t = new Thread() {
    @Override
    public void run() {
      _populateSummary();
    }
  };
  t.start();
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I'm running this on an Entourage Edge running Android 1.6.</p>
  
  <p>I did read about some issues with 1.6 and the animation freezing, but I thought I'd give this a shot and see if anyone here has some ideas.</p>
