Had anyone else noticed this?:


I'd love to hear your thoughts. This happens every time. The first time, I lost all App settings.

not seen that but why are you hard booting? Is there something locked up? Maybe whatever reason you are having to hard boot is whats causing this strangeness?

I hard-rebooted the first time as the screen locked up due to multiple alarms popping up in the morning. Trying to stop one caused a screen lock-up - a segmentation fault (according to the logs). Successive hard-reboots are thus merely as a result of my new-found curiosity and hence this post. It never did this before, although I'm also on new hardware, so it may be as a result of that. And hence asking if others have witnessed said issue.

Did it this morning from a lock up. The top 1/4 of the screen faded into red and then it rebooted. Each time it's a different looking glitch when rebooting. Last time was green, another time was gray.

Good to hear others are experiencing this too. On my previous hardware, it was just a standard black screen. No one else has experienced the need for re-activation and the loss of App settings then? This has not happened since the first time, but makes me extremely nervous.
