Doubtful... I had the EXACT same issue with mine. Everything was working perfectly for the first week, then one day it just started constantly using data and wouldn't sleep properly. Sitting untouched for four hours after removing from the charger, my battery was at 40%. I hadn't installed anything new within a few days of the problem. To top it off, I was getting crashed every half hour, with out without GPS.

I rooted and flashed Fresh's ROM, restored all of the same programs I had via a backup, and have had zero issues since. If it had been an app causing the problem, the problem should have replicated itself with the new ROM.

I still say you give rooting and flashing a try before sending the phone back.
