Crash means a ReFlash
 
Since the latest firmware update I have been having some problems.

If an application crashes the next shutdown will kill the Nokia , on startup the machine is stuck at the Nokia logo.

The only way to fix it is to reflash the device and restore from a backup , which is starting to get annoying.

Anyone else suffering with this ?

You might want to review bug #999 and if it describes your situation, submit a comment along with any additional diagnostic information you may be able to provide.

For the record I don't think your situation is common although since the reboot loop was quite common with the original firmware it's entirely likely a handful of corner cases still exist in the latest firmware, and you're just incredibly unlucky or you have unintentionally discovered a means to reproduce the problem! :)

What programs are you restoring from back up BTW?

The programmes that seem to crash are the internal Opera browser or the Gizmoproject softphone.

The only other programme I install is FBReader but never have any real problems with that.

The crash happens whether I restore my previous settings / data from a backup or just start from scratch.

It doesn`t seem like a reboot loop , more like a reboot freeze - the device powers on to the Nokia logo and thats it , no blue 'loading' bar , no sounds , no icons.

I am currently testing it without installing any applications and just leaving it on , if it crashes again I think I`m going to send it back for a checkup.
