Yates, OP

I had the same problem. I am not sure I figured it out, but I did gain some insights:

1) it is battery related;

2) USB charging should work - just let it sit there for a long time;

3) I was able to do a hard reset for the 900 in those situations by pressing the reset button and the power button at the same time. It took a couple of tries; but when freezes like this start happening, a hard reset won't help much - it will freeze again until properly charged;

4) battery indicators are misleading; it may say full, it doesn't mean it is;

5) I bought a replacement battery from SONY and ever since then I never had the problem. Which makes me thing I had a defective battery at first. As soon as I get back home (months) I will ask for a refund/replacement, but I haven't yet.
