Have to start from scratch when phone completely dies?

This is the third time this has happened, when my phone battery completely dies I can not simply turn on the phone after it has charged. It will simply be stuck on the boot screen for hours on end if I let it. The only way I have been able to get my phone usable again is from a reinstall of the stock ROM or a custom ROM. I have tried wiping cache, but I will still get stuck on the boot screen until either the phone dies or I pull the battery.

Normal behavior or a defective phone?

First time it happened I was completely stock 4.0.3. Second time I was on a slightly modified 4.0.4 ROM with a franco kernel. Now it happened on 4.1 w/franco kernel. I will try flashing the same kernel over and see if that helps.

Try doing a fresh install meaning wipe data/factory reset.. Wipe cache /wipe dalvik and don't forget to make a backup of your apps and data just in case

A full reinstall (wipe data/factory reset) is the only way to get out of it it seems like. But this shouldn't be normal behavior, right? Happened 3 times in the 2 months I have had the phone, no other Android device I have owned does anything like this.

I had similar issues with the GSM model. Along with when switching Bluetooth on it does a soft reboot. I suggest sending it back under warranty as it is most likely faulty hardware if the software changes makes no difference.
