I agree with you 100%.

It location!

I had flashed to the latest Sprint Radio after reading that someone else from the Boston area was having great luck with it. I think battery life may have been better and possibly even internet speed, but obviously the heat and dead battery were an issue.

Then again, it only happened while I was at home and connected to the Airave fem-to-cell device. Maybe it's that!?

I am not sure being connected to the Airave would cause a heat issue, and if anything, would reduce it, as your signal strength should be a lot stronger.

Question though, you said the sprint radio had better battery life, but you couldn't have the dead battery issue?

I'm confussed.

Battery usage (speed at which it decreased) might have been better most of the time, but then I'd get the random battery drain. It was as if the phone started up a data connection and just kept going until the battery was dead.
