What?

10MB/sec --> 200secs for 2GB. Ok, let's quadruple it (read-write, swap-out, swap-in...). But it is still far from 1H.

I recharge my batteries, and whenever I put in a new battery I have to take out the old one. No room, otherwise.

You're talking theory.

Yes.. sometimes that works.

I tried twice this morning.. including running a reboot and a fsck on my /dev/mmcblk1p4.. both times it took me more than 1 hour to copy a single 1.5GB mp4 file.

I'm not making this sh** up dude. Previously I tried copying a large file to a friends SD card from his phone from my internal 32GB... took more than 50 minutes before I gave up, rebooted, fsck'd HIS card (which ended up having errors).. then it took just a few minutes to copy the same file.

So, theory is great: But like I said - the only time I have freezing on my phone is when I copy large files from external to internal or vice/versa - and sometimes that can take inordinately long for no apparent reason.

my phone has never frozen completely but lately im having a problem where the apps on the homescreens freeze and become unresponsive when i press them,but i can still get into all the apps via the menu screen.
i have to reboot to get everything working again,happening maybe once a day.

The only time I need to reboot is after using a bluetooth headset, which seems to cause all phone functions to slow down.

Other use of bluetooth does not seem to result in this behviour.

Otherwise my (unclocked) N900 seems very fast & stable.

poll needs an option for "once in a blue moon" (no dont check stellarium its a figure of speech) think about 3 times since i got it, and yeah i get the achingly long transfer speeds too, tried moving mp3's from sd card to phone memory? anything over 100 and its agonizing!

OK, I believe you. But here is my test, right now -

/user $ time cp MyDocs/Videos/Aein.2005.DVDRip.XviD-CaYEnnE.avi /media/mmc1/
real 2m 28.52s
user 0m 0.27s
sys 0m 20.57s
/user $ ls -l MyDocs/Videos/Aein.2005.DVDRip.XviD-CaYEnnE.avi
-rw-r--r-- 1 user root 734273536 Jun 28 2006 MyDocs/Videos/Aein.2005.DVDRip.XviD-CaYEnnE.avi
/user $

Disclaimers: it is not 1.5GB file, just 700K (biggest in my N900 right now) and I am running root FS on /home partition + swap in uSD. But I feel it should be not a reason for such big difference. We can look somethere else...

Actually, I had this problem (freeze after big file copying) but it was on PR1.0 6 month ago. I thought it was fixed...

EDIT: BTW, did you have chance to look into syslog? It may be some physical errors...

Im setup with EXT3 on the SD card and EXT3 on /home with 27GB then MyDocs is FAT with 2GB.

And like I said.. sometimes when I copy the files they copy pretty quickly..

So of course you prompted me to try again... it took 2minutes to copy the same file I copied this morning that took an hour. TWICE. *shrug*... I got nothin'.

Yeah, checked through dmesg. That's why I noticed the errors on my buddies SD card for the other test. This one though everything looked fine.. Weird.

So now I'm moving it back.. it's been little over 10 minutes and still going . See? Sporadic lol.

And, to be on topic: My N900 acts frozen
