Unfortunately I'm the kind of guy who glances at his phone to see if he has mail (as it's designed for), not the kind of guy who turns on his phone, opens the mail application, hits send/receive, and then watches it for 45+ seconds as it checks and downloads the latest messages. Also, in my line of work the Bluetooth is a must, and constantly turning it on and off is just not that viable. Still, plenty of phones have great battery life with these habits. If companies like HTC weren't so obsessed with smaller, smaller, smaller, slimmer, slimmer, slimmer, and instead kept the phones a decent size and used the miniaturization to make room for a bigger battery, a lot of us would be a lot happier.

It's an incredibly usable phone for me, except on the occasion when it refuses to work when it has an unlimited supply of power connected to it.

I would seriously check into nuebattery though, if you got a good backup app, I would try it, you can always revert.
I flash my phone as much as three times a week sometimes. Not an issue.

no2chem suggested that it seems to already do this automatically when it's in sleep mode. Was he wrong?

nuebattery with fastcharge allows you to charge your phone at full speed whether using a USB outlet or a wall charger. It doubles the charging rate using USB basically. You should never run into issues charging your phone.
Isn't this one incompatible with 6.5?

disable evdo connetion after 1 min will shut down your idle data connection when you are not using it. It saves a BUNCH of battery. You can tweak this using the program diamondtweak.
Won't that prevent my push mail from working?

See, that's my problem. There's a lot of suggestions here for how to live around the phone's battery issues, but none address the problem I had. Several hours on a phone, phone gets hot, decides to ignore the fact that it's plugged into the wall with an unlimited source of power, and still cuts off my extremely important call. That's my main complaint here, and one that goes unresolved.
