Okay, I spoke too soon. Turns out I hadn't selected every folder for the database scan, and once I did, it went back to having the same issues. At this point, I'm kind of convinced the model I'm using is just not in the best shape, considering it really makes a lot of noise in every attempt to initialize the database. Not sure if that's normal for this device, but I'm guessing based on how quickly the battery "drains," it isn't. Quite frankly, I'm at the point where I'll end up just sticking to the RB firmware only if there's no real solution outside of hardware maintenance.
