"10-07 15:44:26.890: WARN/ActivityManager(71): Launch timeout has expired, giving up wake lock!"
Ive seen that error before. :-) It looks like it is bombing out trying to initialize the "WAKE_LOCK" permission. Make sure that you have all the permissions included in your AIR app. If you download the latest Extension for Flash CS5, the App & Installer settings will have a new "Permissions" tab and then you can select the permissions that you would like to include. In your case "WAKE_LOCK". Then publish
In previous CS5 extensions you would have to open up the release notes and then copy and paste, then edit the permissions in your app.xml file. This makes life much easier.
Hope this helps-
