Re: Touch Pro Battery life!!! Post your reviews!!

I have been watching the posts along this entire thread. I have a Sprint TP and have been mostly satisfied, except for the battery life. I have found that keeping the DATA selection in Comm Manager off helps battery life. However, today I was in my office watching the Inaugural on Sprint TV with my TP plugged in to a wall charger. After about 10 minutes of use, the phone was warm, and just as Obama was taking Oath, the phone turned off. I rebooted the phone while plugged in. Once the phone fully rebooted, according to nuePower, there was 20% battery remaining and the phone was 47 degrees. The charging current was about 431mA. I restarted Sprint TV and the drain was 645mA, greater than the charging current! As I watched, the battery level rapidly dropped and the phone shut down again. Needless to say, I was disappointed that the phone failed. This phone is unable to maintain a charging current that is greater that the current draw, in some circumsances. Can the new radio fix from scottcrosler be applied to the Sprint TP? Has HTC come forward with any resolve or fixes for correcting the inefficient and high current drain?
Thanks
