Wanted: Insight on my TP2 problems

I've been having some issues with my TP2 Verizon - Using Fido GSM for the last while and can't figure things out. I thought the phone-gods here might be able to help.

I don't know if these issues are related, but here they are:

1 - Horrible battery life. I think since flashing radios. The phone will die within 8 hours, even if not being used. No background applications running. I've tried flashing different radios, and it hasn't helped yet. I read somewhere that you need to let your phone battery wear out and recharge, but that doesn't help - see problem 2.

2 - If I let the battery die out, I can't recharge it. I'll plug it in, but the led won't go on. I've left it overnight, but the phone won't charge. Luckily, my wife has a TP2, so we switch batteries, then my phone works, and her phone will charge the dead battery. Therefore, I can't allow the battery to fully drain following rom or radio flashing.

3 - If I enter bootloader mode by holding the vol down and power button, it won't let me flash the rom or radio. It loads to bootloader, but it doesn't show the rom/radio to be flashed, and doesn't respond to me pushing the power button. Hence all my flashing was to be done through windows. This is new!

So like I said, not sure if these issues are connected. I'm currently on the 2nd latest energy rom, and the oldest radio. I've used nearly every radio, nothing provides good battery life. I've also got xdandroid installed, but it doesn't load anymore. In the past, I dropped the phone and damaged the screen. I've replaced it myself, and the phone was functional for 2 months without issues. So these problems are new, and I doubt they are related to the bad drop.

Thanks, any help is appreciated.
