Sprint TP uses 200-400mah w/ data conn, fast drain, defective?

I have a sprint touch pro, it was fine for the first day or so including active sync always connected.

Then I noticed it would get really warm and the battery was draining very fast, long story short but on a hard reset with only CMP battery monitor installed (which was not installed when the problem first presented itself) the unit uses between 0-100 mah normally but if I have activesync on always connected or even no active sync profile but manually enable the data connection it goes to 200-400 (average around 300 mah) causing it to heat up, super fast battery drain, etc.

One thing I noticed is that it is flipping between EVDO and 1x a lot too I am not sure if this is the cause?

I have several other phones (mougl, 6700 etc) all which would stay on EVDO without a problem here. Is it a defective unit?

Where did you get the CMP battery monitor?

I had a similar issue, my bars would go from full bars to no bars constantly. I wouldn't receive calls, even from people right next to me. Called up Sprint Tech Support and she knew exactly what was going on. Was advised to replace phone from where I bought it (BB). Phone was also getting very hot, and could not go more than a few hours without having to charge (even drained while on a call and charging). You may have a defective unit as I did.
