plemans First off - I want to say thank you, as I have seen many of your other posts on other threads with similar issues. I have yet to Factory Reset the device. Would you suggest going back to original / changing firmware prior to Factory Resetting? Please note that I am on the latest Firmware.

What actual version number are you on?
