> Yes it is OK to use the device when it is charging. Good. > But more details are needed to debug the problem. Sure, I'll help as much as possible. > - Could you share with us the version of software you are running. > (Control Panel -> Device -> About Product). Internet Tablet OS 2006 edition Version: 1.2006.26-8 (the official OS2006 firmware) > - Have you installed any 3rd-party applications? (Application Manager -> > Show installed applications) Yes of course. Here it is the complete list as shown in the Application manager: btaudit 0.1-1 btscanner 2.1-2.1 gizmo-project 1.0.0.34 kismet 2006.04.R1-1.1.2006.08.30dev leafpad 0.8.9-2indt1 libncurses5 5.4-4 midnightcommander 4.6.1 minimo 0.16.5-2 ncurses-base 0.16.5-2 oboe-home 1.0 osso-xterm 0.13 python2.4-runtime 0.2-1 sobexsrv 1.0.0pre4-1 themes-12pt 0.1-2 xournal 0.3.1-indt3 They all work fine. Moreover, I installed dropbear, but I've removed it and installed OpenSSH (which can't be seen from the Application manager), working fine too. No other apps I've installed/uninstalled, as far as I can remember. > - How do you switch OFF the device? I push the on/off hardware button on the up side of the device, see the "Device mode" window asking what to do, select "Switch off!" and press the "OK" button. > - Can you install xterminal and send us the output of /proc/bootreason? I've tried to type "/proc/bootreason" in the terminal, both as "user" and as root, but it says: /bin/sh: /proc/bootreason: Permission denied Hope this is normal. By the way, I've read the content of the file /proc/bootreason through SCP, and it is just the line: pwr_key (a blank line following) But, this time I had turned it on the "normal" way, i.e. it was off and I've manually turned it on. I'll let you know the content of the file when the problem occurs and I can use it without manually turning it on after having switched it off. -- Antonio
