I am definitely a "Power" user, and will put the phone through the gauntlet for the sake of this thread. I'm really anal-retentive about the phone's power draw, and have always watched it closely. I'm assuming I'll have a newer build date than some of you getting it new directly from Sprint. maybe we can make a correlation.
After reading all 17 pages of this thread, there are a couple of things that have piqued my interest:
1) The poster that mentioned his battery was 95 and his radio area was 114
2) The poster that mentioned he had two TP's side by side with similar usage, one gettting hot and one not as much, and then the subsequent people telling him to swap the batteries to see if that was the difference. I'm interested to see if that plays out, so I'll add my +1 to that as well
3) I've had mogul roms that had the back of the unit hotter than others during heavy usage, attributed to different radios. That leads me to believe that there's some sort of hope with this issue.
4) one poster mentioned that the radios drew up to 10X the power they transmit, horribly inefficient and hopefully the culprit. I hope Sprint and HTC can either change the manufacturing process if it's a hardware thing, or make a radio that somehow behaves differently.
I'm guessing that this is an issue not with the battery at all as some others have echoed. I think it's a problem solely with the radio, and that the residual heat is what's causing the battery protection to trip.

If you are willing, would you consider installing the battery logging diagnonsitcs in this post (
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread...382#post511382) and post your results once you get your TP? (It does generate a sizeable log file that you will have to slug through, or if you like you can PM me and I can summarize and report.)
