Thanks for replying!

I had no problems with reflashing it (have done it about 5 times or more). I have always reflashed the device without keeping the settings because I've never set anything on my SmartQ (just read some ebooks and surfed the web).

Everything is OK after reflashing! But when I reboot the device in portrait mode the screen turns black again. I could just use it in landscape mode or switch it back to landsape mode before I reboot. But I want to use it exclusively in portrait mode.

Another question. When I tap on the battery indicator it doesn't show me the percentage of the remaining battery life. I am sure that I've seen the percentage before - probably before I reflashed the device. Does anyone know what the problem could be?
