It freezes when I copy more music across. I know it is indexing but the CPU runs at 100% it seems, and then it gives up everything for around ten minutes. Doesn't tell me it is indexing like it used to, just hangs while it does something. It also does this if I connect via PC mode or mass storage mode. It just indexes itself to see what has changed. Usually nothing but it still takes the agonizing time to look.

Pulling the battery is the only way to resolve this, hildon just loves to hog the CPU. Although that has started corrupting the app manager, which forgets the repositroy AND installed apps.

Had to use "apt-get -f install" to resurrect this turkey and it wasted three hours of my life. Yesterday in fact.
I hate to say this, but I promise you that you'll never solve this issue without warranty exchange. You have a defective flash cell or bad controller.

Reflashing it 1000 times will never resolve the issue. The device needs to be replaced. No OS (android, iOS, Windows Mobile, WebOS) can maintain stability when blocks go bad.

Check your kernel log (type dmesg), and you should be seeing I/O or ECC errors.
