So basically it is hard resetting when you soft reset? I'm guessing cause you're saying the calibration screen comes up.

That's very strange, never heard of that in the 3 years i've been using wm phones. Freezing yes, but having to recalibrate afterward? no.
I'd ask someone who has the same rom or see if it's a piece of obscure software you've installed recently. It might just be beyond your control though.
