An offered solution, (that sometimes works,) is to slide open the keyboard to allow the radio to cool better.
Ridiculous, but apparently it's the only option Sprint Touch Pro owners have.

Wow, the issue is much worse than I thought. I'm a bit surprised.
Is it a misstatement to say that the TP literally will not charge unless the phone is completely inactive? Will a fully charged TP at least maintain its charge plugged into Power when using GPS. Or will it also drain the battery first, attempt to recharge and then overheat?

We replaced a Pro battery with a Touch Diamond battery in one of our other Pro's and it immediately cured the battery issue, This is the same exact 1340mah battery that powers the Diamond.

I'm hoping this guy is onto something and its just an early faulty batch of batteries. Otherwise, this could be a pretty serious design flaw. I wish someone could definitively clear it up. You would think by now it would have been.
