Hello again!

I'm contacting You all, because You always helped me before.
So:
Yesterday I've just started my N900 and on main screen it cannot set all icons and widgets. After 3 minutes of trying (CPU is on 100°%) restarts. Today I've managed to reinstall software but nothing better.
Any suggestions? Should I flash N900?

Thanks in advance!!!

Milko

Yes, you should flash your n900.

disable lifeguard reset ( http://wiki.maemo.org/R&D_mode ) and ctrl-shift-x into a terminal, then killall -9 hildon-home a few times till the "crash detection" system takes over and deletes all your widgets.

otherwise do what vi_ said

Maybe a to agressive overclocking?

It's not tuned at all.

And...
When APP MANAGER is working it doesn't restarts.

I'll try this "http://wiki.maemo.org/R&D_mode". I hope I'll know how.

Thanks

Maybe the process which checks for updates in background eats all CPU... it may explain why app manager opens prevent this symptom.

If extra-devel reposity is enabled, updates check is slow, probably worse with both devel and testing. You should keep them disabled except when installing a specific application.

Another option is to disable updates check thanks to a gconfd command you can find here in other threads about cpu consumption when online.

I'd say overclocking is the problem maybe 5% of the time, and then it's usually not really overclocking but undervolting. I don't know why people mention it so often; it's really pretty safe, as has been demonstrated over the last year of testing on this site.
