Unhappy [Q] G-sensor randomly stops working, phone freezing, etc

I have a HTC Touch Pro2 (ATT) with the stock Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM installed.

The g-sensor works fine after you first boot up, and then completely stops working at some random interval. After this occurs, trying to calibrate the sensor results in the two animated levels freezing after first twitching a bit. Attempting calibration obviously does not fix the problem.

I tried using sktools to restart the g-sensor driver. The driver will apparently stop, but it will not restart.

The only thing that works is a reboot. Honestly, I wouldn't mind rebooting this damn thing every time but it also freezes for like 15 minutes after I restart it. If you hit the power button to put the phone to sleep right after booting up, it will remain asleep and not respond to anything for almost a half hour. Sometimes calling it will wake it up though... and then it freezes again when you put it to sleep if it's within 20 minutes of boot up. The service process (services.exe) and manila show high CPU usage during this time.

Also the notification manager does not start up automatically; its service needs to be started manually each time. Setting it to manual startup mode does not fix anything.

Stock ROM?

Have you tried some of the aftermarket ones? Some of the issues in the stock ROM were fixed by the community.

Have you tried a hard reset to see if there is an app messing with your phone?
