The only way to get the phone to function is to restart it. Any ideas?
Install 'Conky' from the repositories (using app manager) and have a look at how much CPU your using and which process is taking the most CPU/RAM. Once you open Conky everything will become apparent, don't worry.
Post back your findings and we should get a better idea of whats actually going on.
You can take a screenshot of conky of it's easier, (use ctrl shift P).

In XTerminal type:
Code:
killall hildon-desktop
You might/will loose some of your desktop widgets, so expect to reinstall some!
This happened to me after upgrading to PR1.3 but having killed it a few times it seems to have sorted itself out.
Did you flash or OTA PR1.3?
