For people to accurately reproduce your usage however, they should also remove their password if they have one, preferably before they soft reset. (I won't bother linking to my previous posts.) Perhaps you can add this suggestion to your post.
Your suggestion has been added to the post. I hope that enough people try this so that there is a group of users who can demonstrate a fixed baseline that can be duplicated. I say this because I am starting to move on to other areas. In playing with the device this morning, I found that the Data Connection, even while idle, can hang and drain the battery although there appears to be no activity. When it did hang, a soft reset was required to stop it. Closing the connection from the settings menu was not enough. But that is the subject of another thread. I need to play with it for a few days.
