Usually it does wait but not always.

That's why rebooting before connecting helps. I'd also recommend turning off wifi *before* rebooting, otherwise it might start a wifi sync after rebooting which will also cause issues.

If you know you just downloaded a bunch of new stuff, it wouldn't hurt to wait a few minutes for things to settle.

And ignore the advise about rolling back firmware. All the firmwares before 4.41 are worse for this problem.
OK. That makes things a bit simpler. PeterT has a different issue I think.

Mine is a bit different.

Boiled down it's simply this: Is the database corrupt or not?

Does anyone know what the device does on reboot? Does it rewrite the database? That would be a huge piece of the puzzle - no?

Thanks.
