Heat and charging issue. What's our best course of action?
Basically, the Touch Pro has a design flaw.
It gets REALLY hot during normal phone use. It is suspected that the radio is EXTREMELY inefficient in this phone. Somewhere in the range of 13% power efficiency.
Now, most of us could probably live with horrid battery life, and a hot phone, however, this particular device stops charging once it gets hot enough.
I have now owned 4 Touch Pros. All of them have had this heat/charging issue. Build dates of 10/12, 10/13, 10/14, and now 11/7. Clearly the newer revisions are not fixing this hideous problem. (My phone also has just about every other known defect as well.)
Sprint denies the problem, and HTC tells us to go away.
If anyone knows how we can get started on a solution for this, before we are forced to jump-ship and get a quality (working) WM power-phone from another carrier?
P.S. The Fuze from AT&T does NOT, I repeat NOT, get warm during phone calls. If Sprint cannot fix this, I will be picking this phone up over there for sure.
