Just know you'll have errors until they get rid of them.

So after putting my memory card back in and formatting it my phone seems to be working fine. It hasn't hung since I put the card back in after the format. Whatever seemed to be the problem, seems to be gone, for now at least.

I've got the random hourglassing too. Except I noticed it only hourglasses when it has an image to display:
- Loading the menu icons for first time (hourglass flashes briefly once per icon it has to load)
- Each JPG loading in web browser hourglasses
- Viewing photo from camera
- ..etc, essentially anything involving an image.

Turning off images in the HTML BIS email and web browser sped things up dramatically.
Also, it seems to speed up as you use it. The first camera photo takes minutes to view. After that it's more like the 4.2 OS, reasonably snappy..

Any ideas as to what's causing this?
(No memory card installed btw).

BB 8100 4.5.0.42

I get no hourglass viewing photos on my 8320 with .42 build. The only program so far that gives my device problems is Google Maps 2.2.0

The google Maps issue is due to an application control policy on the device. There is a sticky in the beta forum (or gps/mapping...not sure) about getting google Maps to work on 4.5 with app control policies.

I should really have elaborated more than just that statement!

My experiences with an 8800 (8GB SanDisk SDHC Card) and an 8100 (4GB SanDisk SDHC Card) have shown constant resets on both devices IF I copy a large amount of data across to the SD Card in one go (e.g. 3.5GB of files consisting mainly of @320MB pictures and @3GB music).

My belief (or superstition) is that the "Media" scans the SD Card upon booting up and just throws a wobbly whilst scanning the SD Card causing either a reset or a permanent hang; with the above amount of data.

However, IF I copy the files across incrementally then the OS seems to react much better and I don't really see any significant "hour-glass"/hangs; via Mass Storage i.e. BB connected to notebook.

The "hour-glass"/hang issue seems to be more noticeable on the 8100 (after booting) than the 8800.

In all cases no 3rd party apps have been running above and beyond the basic OS processes. Which made me think it was an SD Card issue (possibly inconjunction with "Media" app).

I noticed you have an 8320. How big an SD Card do you have and what kind of breakdown of files do you have stored?

Edit : Forgot to mention that after the initial boot up and the occasional 5-10sec hourglassing (whilst Media is scanning I believe). Thereafter, the OS is very responsive on both devices.
