i've discovered that on my phone, the problem is just running the bluetooth stack. nothing else.

on one occasion, i was driving with the phone plugged in and charging and the battery drained down to almost nothing! i was using google maps and bluetooth stack. i turned off google and data services and the phone was hardly charged up after an hour of charging. i turned off the blue tooth stack and the battery charge jumped up to the green level (i'm using vistahide battery guage program) within 5 minutes.

when i returned home, i turned off all but the phone stack, fully charged the battery on the wall outlet charger, and when the battery charge status light turned green, i unplugged it from the charger. that was at midnight exactly. i'm entering this reply at 8:08 PDT, normal (for me) phone calls and texting and battery level is at 93%.

tonight, i'm going to repeat this process of charging and when done i'm going to turn on the blue tooth stack. my calculated guess is that as soon as i unplug it from the charger, within 5 minutes, the battery level will have dropped 5%.

i've tried the original sprint bluetooth stack from the |R|6.5.5|ROM|WWE| ★ Energy "Leo" 23542/21892 |Mar 7| ★ Sense 2.5.2012 / MaxManila thread. it made no difference.

i'll edit this post tomorrow with an update.

i hope this will help some one else.
