[update] Seriously why is this phone freezing on 3g/wifi? (NOT random reboot)

It's like one day it decided to crap out. I hadn't changed any settings or installed new apps, was on nottachtrix, and suddenly when the wifi or mobile data are on the phone hangs left and right. Oh and the battery won't charge up properly (hardly at all) when it's in this state; off the charger it runs down to zero in just a few hours. Turn off all connectivity & it works just fine. Wtf?

I've fully fastboot wiped, moved back to a good fruitcake, moved to a good blur 2.3.4 rom, and within 24 hours the glitches slowly return. The fact that wifi works leads me to think software issue not hardware, but I'm at a loss otherwise.

UPDATE: nvm fixed it.

Here's what I found: My stock email app (which was synced to my work email) had somehow gone haywire. Since I only run modified stock roms, and this was a stock app, the issue persisted through every full wipe / reflash I'd gone through.

Symptoms were as described above. "Motorola Services" was eating up ~25% of a given battery charge because it was constantly pinging to sync my contacts -- in the meantime, that process was also taking priority over every other task I tried to do (like view contacts, launch other apps, etc) causing frequent FC errors that would all resolve themselves if I pressed "Wait." If I disabled wifi and 3G, the runaway sync process would stop and my phone would act normally.

So I've deleted that email account; that leaves me with my Blur and Gmail accounts on the phone. Three days and no problems whatsoever; "Motorola Services" doesn't even show up on the list of apps draining the battery anymore.
