Is anyone else having problems with their phone locking up? Mine's done it a few times since I got it.

I'm not sure if it's something I have installed, or what, but I can turn it on (well, hit a button to bring it out of standby), and the "working" (hourglass, rotating box, whatever you call it), is spinning.

I try to load the task manager and it sits there. Sometimes it will finally open the task manager after a minute or so. This morning, I noticed autoupdate.exe was running (so I disabled the Windows Update thing).

A few minutes ago, I went to check the time, and it had the box/icon/working thing on the screen again.

The only two programs I had running in memory were Extreme Text by birdsoft and Automatic Lock (keylock), but I disabled the locking feature, and am only using the notification/reminders portion of it.

I uninstalled extreme text, to see if that helps, if not, I'll uninstall Automatic Lock; if that doesn't work, it's gotta be something else.

So, anyone else had anything similar happen yet?

I've had similar lockups but they've only happened when Live! was running (GPS)... has happened about 4-5 times now. I can get to the home screen but can't open up task manager or any other program...

It was OnDemand running it's auto update. I forgot that I had it set to run every 4 hours. I uninstalled it altogether, and I'm pretty sure I won't have the problem again.
