Someone should contact him since almost everyone did the hard reset fix when they received their phone. Now i'm probably not going to hard reset for a while....... lol
My pro doesn't heat up for no reason*
I have not done a hard reset but still experience the heat issue, and have from day one (it's something I've learned to live with while I reasearch WHY it gets hot)

I wish someone would write a test program that takes a TP, with battery at 100%, and then runs calculations, and measures battery % vs time vs heat vs voltage. Then we could compare apples to apples--rather than one objective review after another.

What kind of calculations do you want it to run? My battery log prog will keep a complete log of power draw, voltage, and battery temperature. and system events. I modified it to let the unit go to sleep, but my original version keept it in full power mode with the screen off. I could dump in a routine to do some heavy calculations the entire time and put in the option to enable or disable that feature. I have run some of my calculation intensive software while logging, and never see over 230mA of battery draw, (i.e. the application processor/WinMo side seems quite efficent) Where I have seen the heavy battery draw is with the transmitter. Which is why I am conviced that the issue lies in the radio ROM. (Since LG uses the RFT61xx series transmitters on many of their handsets (eg vx8300/8350) without major reported issues)
