Your very welcome.

Warm operation is something you won't get rid of. No matter what radios you flash, the phone is always going to run a little hot under heavy load.

And yes, the battery going fast like that is nothing new. Most phones like this eat batteries like they are going out of style. I had two batteries when I was actively using my Diamond (always had one in my purse). A car charger, and a home and work wall charger lol. I like being prepared.

It is a great device though, don't let a little warmth or bad battery life scare you away.
