On top of that, when the phone's screen goes black, ie display timeout, it will not come back on unless I pull the battery and reboot.
I thought it might have something to do with Launcher Pro, so I am trying to change the default launcher. The only way I knew how was to go to settings/apps/app manage/launcher and clear defaults. The clear defaults option is greyed out.
I started having this issue last night, as well. I had to do a battery pull like six times in a row before I had a working boot. Did removing LauncherPro fix it? I'm using LauncherPro Plus, latest version, and I'd hate to have to give it up.
To be more specific about my problem, the display would turn on but be displaying a completely black screen, and there was no haptic feedback when I tried to swipe to unlock. I couldn't interact with the UI; but, the display would turn off after a few seconds like it normally would when you turn it on w/o unlocking it, so the system seemed like it was running in the background, but you couldn't interact with it. Strange.
Also, anyone else notice the Swype keyboard taking like two full seconds to come up half of the time?
