2 days ago, I was exiting out of the browser when my K3 froze..... I plugged it in, waited overnight, and in the morning, I was "stuck under the tree" with no progress showing. The next night, I plugged it in again. The next morning, I was overjoyed to see the Kindle wallpaper (I still do not have the custom ones....), but quickly dismayed that I could not unlock the Kindle with the switch. I would normally think that the power switch is broken, but when I plug it in, it takes forever to show the yellow charging light....

Maybe a bug in the kindle, or extreme cpu usage by something is causing this? I can't ssh or anything into the Kindle, as of now.......

I have Kite, Launchpad, Custom Fonts, myts, Jailbreak, Kaffeine, USBNetworking, etc...

Oh well, I'll probably just use K3flasher to redo the rootfs.
