Re: My TP battery/charge issue

My Touch Pro has pathetic battery life as well. I don't use any Push email or anything. On standby it loses 10% of it's power every 2 hours. Ridiculous! I have to charge it several times a day with minimal to no use.

Either there are a lot of defective Touch Pro's or there needs to be a firmware update, pronto. I remember the Mogul having battery issues until a firmware update gave it amazingly long battery life. I'm hoping a firmware fix will work. I'm debating exchanging my Touch Pro for another, but I don't think a new one will have any better battery life.

BTW, my Touch Pro is usually cool to the touch, and my battery drains really fast either way. I've also had situations where it doesn't charge. I think the temp sensor is way too sensitive or faulty, mine only gets warm with heavy use. My old Touch gets warmer and has never had charging cut off ever.
