Hello Dave,

I tried the same procedure at work, where I have access to a new Focus 
40 display. With this device I don't get the 'stopped' message. It only 
took me some time to figure out that auto-detecting the Freedom 
Scientific driver didn't work, so I had to set it manually in the 'add 
device' part of settings.

adb logcat is no problem, so if the problem occurs again at home, I will 
try to post part of the log.

With kind regards,

Henk.
