It's aggravating but it's already burned into my psyche to expect it. Much of my problems, I believe, are other apps sending notifications or when I get an e-mail or instant message. Like I said, I've grown use to it so it doesn't bother me as much as it use to. I'm sorry to hear that Jalsbury, because I know what it's like :(  I'll tell you what I've discovered helps with reducing the crashes.  I actually find they help sometimes lol.

Since I started playing I've had problems with the crashes, they weren't too bad during Fatal Furies, worsened slightly during Unleash The Beasts, and where a nightmare during Cold Delivery when I could barely play. It was at that point that I contacted Mobage to no avail, and did a lot of research as to why it and other apps crashed. I came across a lot of information pointing towards problems with memory usage. It kind of made sense because when every new event was launched things got worse. I therefore looked at the solution(s).

There were tips about removing apps, using special apps to free up memory, etc, so I removed all apps and dedicated my Ipod to playing TL. It made no difference by just doing that, so I followed advice to reset all settings on my Ipod 4G. It basically Settings - General - Reset - Reset everything. It resets your passwords, Wi-Fi and all other settings that you've adjusted, but they are easy to change back. To my surprise it actually worked. The crashes still occurred every now and then, but it was much much better.

Alas, when a new event is launched the crashes start to get worse again, but I've just followed the reset procedure each time and it has improved helped each time. I did it this morning after the launch of The Bee Team.

It works a treat for me, but it's your choice whether you do it or not. It doesn't really change much and the only things that I have to alter afterwards are:

Settings - Sounds - Lock Sounds & Keyboard Clicks to OFF

Settings - Your wi-fi - enter the wi-fi password

Settings - General - Auto-Lock - change to Never otherwise the ipod goes into a sleep mode

Settings - General - Passcode Lock - enter your ipod four digit passcode.

With hindsight I probably didn't need to remove all other apps, but I would recommend removing anything you don't use much or at all.

If you do try it, it will take 5-10 mins I think, but everytime since it only takes a couple of mins.

Finally, I still have some problems with the warrior space bridges, especially if I've been logged in for a while, but the they haven't worked better than in the past two events. I also sometimes intentionally go to the space bridge  and make myself crash, because when I log back in my help list seems to get slightly more active.

If you do Reset, good luck and I hope it helps to solve your crashing issues.
