As for charging, I'm not sure why it would be hotter with this kernel. I have noticed the battery does get very hot when charging in Android, doesn't happen in WinMo. WisTilt2 and Jonpry are rewriting the battery code, only good things can come from that.***

I was comparing this to WinMo, sorry about any confusion. Yeah, the heat from charging may be related to the battery code. Last night's test gave me this: as soon as Android told me battery was 100% charged, I rebooted to check in WinMo, which told me charge was 80%. Also, I noticed that Android didn't stop charging when the battery level got to 100%, it took an extra 15 mins or so.
I've got GPS and App Sync disabled, but I've been noticing weird LED behavior today: it'll go green (sleep), then quickly (1/10 sec) toggle between orange and green about a dozen times before stopping on either one. I did OC, which I'm about to remove to see if things change.

Recursion is right, it gets pretty warm while charging if the phone isn't in sleep mode when I start to charge it. If I force it to sleep (push the power button) while charging, it's not warm. It's almost as though it won't go into deep sleep automatically if the charging is happening unless I force it with a push of the power button.

8 hours-->15% is good then. Okay, my baseline was Vin's NEO, which is clearly an unfair comparison at this stage of FRX04's evolution!
Yeah, GPS & auto-sync are disabled over here. I'm going to fully charge under WinMo & test. Will test battery life on a sleeping TP2 with good signal strength, and GPS and Sync disabled. Oh, the heat...like I mentioned above, I'd guess the battery code has something to do with that.
Do either of you guys have a native Android device? If so, how hot does it get when charging?
Edit: Just checked again. Connected to PC via USB. Droid says ... "charged" && WinMo says 80%.
