Okay, I have soft rest 3 times. Waited for TouchFlo to finish loading. Then I start pushing the hard volume up/down buttons. I still can get it to lock the phone up or even slow down.
I do have tsowentaskbar3v1.4 installed. but not much of anything else. I am using your Midnight Blue them LilRico...wish I could help more. I guess it sounds like you got it fixed by what the beta tested said.
