Is there a way to check the USB draw the phone is taking while tethering? I checked my USB root hub and it shows 100ma to the Remote NDIS based Internet Sharing Device. Is my phone only getting 100ma from USB?

That is very possible. The MAXIMUM is 500mA. If you have other devices hooked up, or are using a laptop, then it can be 100mA. Definitely not out of the question.

Well Guys, I don't know of a better phone out there, after a couple weeks my battery issues have resolved spontaneously and I'm a happy camper, and this is one fine phone.

I don't know what's going on. Something's def up but I am no longer experiencing bad battery life. For the past one week, at the end of the night, i still have a whole lot of juice left. Yesterday however, my phone was dying by 5 pm. Today it's behaving well again. I unplugged it about 12 pm, right now its 7 and the battery is just at the 50% mark which is pretty good for me. I really can't tell why yesterday it died on me so quickly though.

Congratulations! Your battery has officially broken in.

Since you have used it for a few full charges, it is now being fully charged/discharged which means you get more life out of a charge.

Hey anyone found ANY fixes to the battery life at all? My roommate bought the Touch pro because i considered it to him. He would love to disable the D-Pad lights and up the battery life on the phone as much as possible. Any ideas?

you can search for "juggalo's notification". it should enable him to disable notification lights.

Way to carry the torch! Too bad people easily overlook this small fact, and are quick to blame the phone...
