[lots of resets and warnings cut out]

Well, this answers one question: The program not claiming interface 0 
is ThreadWeaver::T, whatever that is.  This isn't really an error, but 
it is sloppy programming.  You could report it to the maintainers of 
that program.

The log shows a more or less constant series of warnings and resets as 
long as the Android device is plugged in.  This would explain any 
unresponsiveness, although it doesn't explain eventual crashes.

If you know what that ThreadWeaver program is, and if you don't need
it, you could try disabling or removing it to see if the situation
improves.
