Okay since yesterday evening I have deleted all my widgets apart from yellow notes applet and touch search. I have not overclocked as I have deleted my QB widgets (and can't be bothered to search for the xterm code). Since then my device has been working a million times better. Still get those horrible grid lines when scrolling in browser but at least device is usable. Unlike before when it was constantly freezing. Sure when I oveclock it will be even better.

Downside is I now have 9 bare desktops. Not much point having opportunity to have up to 9 homescreens if all you can have on them is shortcuts. Might as well have an iphone 4 in that case. Just kidding before any iphone burning folk attack me.

So how do I work out which widgets are troublesome and which are fine? Other than the rather slow process of putting them back one by one and trying the device with the new widget for a day or so.

I did not have any widgets that update from the internet so that was not the issue. I think someone said avoid python widgets but how can I tell if a widget is pyhton? Could not find that information in the widget details nor by searching (just tons of results about creating python widgets, etc).

So any tips on which widgets are safe? Presumably QBW is safe right? No matter how many you have. I had about 40 beecons on my desktops. So is calemdar home widget right? I had a clock on every desktop and 5 different ones on one desktop (for different timezones). Could that be evil?

What of the photo widgets (photo frame and photo applet)? Do not think they were problem on my device though because I deleted them and I still could not use the device.
