Battery drains at 1% a minute while using Speakerphone....

[JBabey]

====================EDIT====================
I hard reset the phone and tested applications one at a time. It WAS the nuebattery driver that does the 1% increments. I was using v1.1 (i think its in the cleanup cab but i would have to check).

NueRom has released version 1.2 specifically for the Touch Pro 2. I would highly advise anyone that needs or wants the 1% increments to update immediately. I have not installed 1.2 yet but will do further testing.
====================EDIT====================


On standby my phone will last about 3 days just text messaging and checking emails.

On a "normal" call, where i hold the phone to my ear the battery will drain about 1% every 5 minutes....

when using the Speakerphone, the phone drains at 1% to 1.5% a MINUTE!

I use the speakerphone constantly as I travel a lot and cant use blue-tooth headsets. About 70 or so minutes on a call and the phone warns me the battery is critical and shuts down.

This seems to happen whether or not the backlight for the screen is lit up.

I would like to say that I have a battery problem, but it will go for like 3 days if i dont make a call.

Any ideas?? Will a new ROM alleviate this once HSPL is released? Should I send it back to SPRINT? Anyone else have this issue?
