Its more than likly its an apps that access the slight sensor, but it could be any app just freezing ur device when tether... also if it happens again, try a simple soft reset, a less time, and basically will do the same as pulling the battery...
I have not added any applications to the phone. Just started using it a few weeks ago and use it mostly just as a phone and to access my work emails. Not sure what a soft reset is, but I can not do ANYTHING with the phone when it happens except take out the battery. Nothing turns on or off, no buttons work period.
I think I just got screwed with a shitty phone!
Thanks all for the thoughts. Any more ideas would be appreciated!
