A little tough Love about battery issues.

Can someone who has used this clear this up for me? This seems like a pretty annoying feature flaw. Whats the deal here? It never charges when "in use" or sometimes (hopefully rarely) when under heavy use and high heat it stop charging?

I'm hesitant to post about the issue--but on my Touch Pros, it would drain ANY time the radio was active. If I was on the phone OR running GPS (that used an active data connection, like Telenav,) then it drained.

Other's have reported battery-drain while plugged in and doing GPS as well.

An offered solution, (that sometimes works,) is to slide open the keyboard to allow the radio to cool better.

Ridiculous, but apparently it's the only option Sprint Touch Pro owners have.
