Somebody in the thread at some point said:

| That means perhaps I reach the maximum value of 2G even when the
| Freerunner is lying flat on the table, maybe due to noise?
|
| This would explain why it works with 8G scale.
|
| I'll do some measurements with 8G scale and check how often it reaches
| the 2G level.

Never I hope :-)  Maybe there is some issue hiding in the threshold
stuff because that behaviour sounds just like it.

| I'll also try it with select() function that Thomas White mentioned and
| hope that it helps.

select() will just stop you blocking until next sample in read(), I
don't think it'll help with whatever this is.
