I think I may have determined one possible cause of this particular
behaviour.

I find that, if the Radio does not have a currently configured network,
an attempt to "Repair Network" (under "Network Health") will yield the
symptoms you describe (never ending spinny). Although, in my case, a
good longish press of the power button did cause the Radio to restart.

In these circumstances, a look at "Check Network" first would have shown
"No network interface". Unfortunately "Repair Network" fails to check
that fact before doing its thing, and sends the Radio off into la-la
land.

That does not tell us why your Radio found itself without a currently
configured network. In my case it was the result of a failure to
establish a wi-fi connection with a test access point I have been
running. I would guess that it is related in some way to the wi-fi
connectivity issues you are having.

This bug is present in both the stock firmware and the Community release
firmware.
