I wonder what apps you are running:

Run an alternative launcher. My favorite is GO Launcher EX.

Scrutinize any apps you've installed including widgets and live wallpapers. Maybe list your apps here for people to take a look.

Using an automatic task killer is often a bad idea. Don't use one. But rules are made to be broken. Check out this comment: https://supportforums.motorola.com/m.../458810#458810 which solves some Droid X freezing issues but amounts to running a task killer set on "mild".

Clear your system cache partition. Maybe even clear it a few times in a row! (This is done by rebooting while pressing down the home key, accessing the hidden menu, etc.)

Finally, if nothing seems to be working then I'd do a factory reset. This will reset your phone completely so be sure to back up your files. After reset I would immediately install a different launcher and slowly add back apps looking for any problems. At some point I might decide to install the "Auto Memory Manager" app mentioned in the link above, especially if I don't have any odd apps, widgets, live wallpapers and the phone is still freezing up.

Hopefully Motorola will get their act together and put out a solid Gingerbread version for the X. There's always hope. Just got the Droid 3 update and the phone is doing amazingly well.

I always find that deleting apps that i dont use anymore as well as deleting things from my sd card that i dont need anymore always helps. may just be me. give it a try

Rebooting my phone once a day before going to work, and using an app that clears my cache once a week automatically keeps my X running nicely.

Possibly. What are you trying to accomplish?

I was trying the rebooting and holding the home button didn't give me the hidden screen

Oh OK, I see. Do you have a Droid X?

Yes

You can google "clear system cache droid x" for detailed instructions but you need to hold down the home and power buttons. When the Moto logo appears I believe that you can let go of the power button.
