Hi guys,

I've not seen a bug raised for this, so I thought I would ask.

I use MFE with my n900 and use the calendar app alot.

Over the last few days I've had major performance / battery life problems with the handset, desktop apps not working, crashes, reboots etc. I reflashed my phone (eMMC and latest firmware update) and still had these issues.

When troubleshooting I noticed in top that calendar was a CPU / mem hog so I tried removing it from the desktop. No luck, as hildon-home would crash everytime.

Demoralised by this issue, I tried one last flash update. I did not change the time on startup like I usually do and left it at 1st Jan 2009.

And... What do you know, everything worked!

So I removed the calendar app and set the system time to the present and everything still works.

There clearly is a problem with the calendar app on my phone, if I try to access it through sub menus now it hangs.

So I have the following questions:

Does anyone else have this issue?

Is there any way to purge data stored in my calendar to see if this helps?

Is there a bug raised for this issue, should I raise one?


There was a calendar updated in the latest firmware release, could this have caused the issue?

Thanks, your help getting calendar working again would be appreciated :)

Cheers

UPDATE: I can access calendar items through the PC suite. I removed some and the calendar app no longer starts at all :( (it thinks about it then bails out)

Any ideas?
