Did anyone notice that the GPS is always on? It also runs quickgps always downloading sat up dates, as well as the weather is also auto updating? These "chew" up battery and keep your phone constantly at use..
I turn most auto update off, location for GPS is also off.. My phone lasts longer than my Mogul, Touch, Apache ever did.. and I play with it alot more..

I had already done those and agree.
I have TF3D off.
Push Mail Off.
I could swear when I had HTC Phone skin the GPS was off, but I recently noticed it was on using the Windows Mobile stock skin.
Battery life at idle is good.
A bug in the skin could cause overheating. I'm still not 100% sure it is a problem or not.
One thing that I think may have thrown me off is last night when I tried it my battery was low and it did not get hot.
This morning on full charge in a short call it did get fairly warm pretty quick.
We know on previous HTC phones they throttle things back (even in the radio) when the battery was low. The infamous my calls go to voice mail on low battery.
So what may have happened is the phone was throttled back.
When throttle back it seems to run fine. I'd love to tweak these throttling thresholds.
Now I have had one call go to voicemail that should not have. It was at the end of the day and the battery may have been low.
It's my understanding that a major element of this is the slot cycle index.
By the way it is NOT the battery that gets hot.
It's behind the buttons and I assume the radio and processor are down in this area.
We don't know if it's the processor or the radio or a combination that causes the heat.
