Okay, using v16d, on first boot it was fine but on second boot and there
after I had the same issue with "No Network" and unresponsive screen.
Though in the power menue I was able to restart QTE and had the frozen
clock. I wanted to check this out with my old battery that came with the
FR but it didn't have enough charge left, so I put back in the other
battery and almost everything worked again except accessing the hardware
clock (though i didn't check to see if that worked before)... weird! I
need a working phone for tomorrow so I'm not touching shit, but I'll see
if I can reproduce this in the comming days (hopefully with relevant
logs). As for the logfile, enabled some stuff in the QTE logging app (in
categories) and then check /var/messages .
