I also found that while at work (very poor signal), Mogul would heat up really bad and literraly suck the life out of the battery. This happened with the OEM rom, as well as VetVito's rom. I found that if I disable direct push while at work (when I have a very poor signal), and leave the data connecting active, the phone does not heat up, and battery drain isn't an issue. One thing I am pretty sure of is that these phones, if a poor signal is detected, it will boost power on the phone (hence heat and quick battery drain) to try to compensate, and when you use direct push, it is a constant connection, so it never gets to go to low power mode.

I will do some testing today to confirm or refute my theory on the above. I will be an area with a very bad signal, and I have turned off Direct Push. I"ll see if the device heats up and sucks the life out of the battery. Yesterday I didn't turn off direct push, and it was hot and sucked 76% of the battery in 3 hours (only 34% remaining)...
