Apps are causing com.android.phone to fail

[snaker]

So I have found on my Hero that after I reboot it appears that some apps cause the process "com.android.phone" to fail unexpectedly. This has happened to me a couple of times but I have be unable to isolate the issue. It's unclear to me which apps are doing it. For a while I thought it was specific apps but while experimenting and uninstalling problemed apps, a few days later I would install the app and have no problems.

For example the metal detector app appeared to be a problem app but about week after I had issues, I reinstalled it with no problems. It is important to note that the problem only shows up after a reboot.

I can correct the above failure by going in and unistalling the most recently installed apps and things will be fine. Associated with the above failure is I cannot connect to the mobility network. Trying to use any app or process associated with dialing a phone number causes that process to fail. Additionally if i try to connect to the network via the widget or any menus, I get another process failure and the phone does a quick reboot.

My knowledge is limited but I believe something else is wrong other than bad apps. Hopefully I was clear but I am curious if anyone else has had this problem and found a solution. Before anyone asks I have to turn my phone off for my job and I would like to avoid a hard reset.

The phone has not been rooted and it is pretty much stock with the exception of apps.
