I have BigClock on here, but I haven't restored it yet. I wonder if I should try it as an experiment... In my case the problem was "Saved Preferences". I actually got it working through selective restoration, but then somehow crashed it while connecting to the Internet, and the problem returned (which was similar to the circumstances of the first crash -- something blowing up in my Phone app, and me resetting). I went into pz and sorted by modification date, removed the most recent database, which turned out to be "Saved Preferences", and everything works great now. > took probably 5 or 6 hours of divide-and-conquer to find it (I Took me maybe 20-30 minutes to get all my stuff on there, and another 20 to fix the 2nd instance of this problem. > In retrospect it might have been faster to debug this under POSE, > since I wouldn't have had the hotsync delay...
