It's a perfectly reasonable expectation of users that if they leave their phone ON and charging it should NOT lock up at night, for any reason.
It's when you leave your phone ON and charging at night only to find when you wake up that your phone has locked up and requires a reset to wake up. THEN when it's back to normal you find that it never even CHARGED while on the charger ... and locked up.
The proposed solution to avoid having the phone lock up while charging was to turn the phone off. that's NOT a solution, but ahorrible work-around because ..... YOU MISS CALLS ! No phone wil ring if turned off.
I'm in double jeopardy here because I work on-call every 4 weeks and I also have a father who is in Hospice at the moment. I can afford to miss ZERO calls.
My solution (work-around) is to NOT charge my phone at night. I charge it while driving to.from work and if it's low I USB charge it while I'm sitting at my desk.
Can ya hear me now? Apples to Apples ... Oranges to Oranges ... We all fall down.

Oh, I think you misread the proposed solution. He said that he basically told his device to stay ON, and not "fall-asleep," after a certain timeframe, while on the charger.
Yes, this prevents the Touch Pro from crashing, but at the same time, it's unacceptable, and
not all Touch Pros do this, making me think it's a hardware issue. If yours does this, return it.
Mine never crashed once, unless I was running an intensive application in the background, (a battery logger.) Otherwise, it was fine. I still had a miriad of other problems though--so I returned it, completely. I feel sorry for people who picked up the Pro, and are diappointed with it, but are STUCK in their 2-year agreements. To those who are happy, more power to you.
