I've been having a similar problem, though without doing registry edits. I've noticed often times when I soft reset my phone is very bogged down during startup and continues to be so after getting into Windows. I also noticed that the wifi icon will be on even though wifi is off, and I can't get rid of it, and I can't access certain things such as the comm manager.

Soft resetting multiple times doesn't fix the problem, I have had to either pull the battery or hold the power button until my phone turned off, then upon turning it back on it would boot up normal and work fine.
