alright, but you dont find me in forums talkin about battery life, so im doing something right obviously...

Different ROMs produce different heat results. I am using Calkulin's ROMs (from kitchen) and I don't get the amount of heat some of you are reporting. I also stick with STOCK radio. I have yet to see any reliable evidence to suggest switching your radio off the stock version makes any kind of improvement. So.... stick with what it was designed to use... and try different ROMs.

And here's a link about lithium ion batteries and how they should be charged / discharged and why. It's some pretty accurate info. Full discharging should be avoided, but every now and again is needed for "digital memory" which is the devices fault, not it's battery's fault.

Turning down the screen brightness might help. Atleast it does for me.

I use pdanet and connect via wire wire, even though it can connect via bluetooth or wifi, because it tends to produce less heat. I've never had it overheat that way.

Its a ploy to have to buy batteries...LOL. Seriously tho these phones would be much better if they were capable of going without a battery. Meaning that once you tether the phone you can at that point TAKE OUT the battery and the phone still is powered by the charge cable. That would eliminate the heat issues IMO.

gah, i know. it really surprised (and mostly confused) me when i tried doing that and nothing happened when i attempted to turn the phone back on. laptops can do it, so why not our puny wm phones ?

how can the older mogul tether and keep a full charge while charginh, yet this newer generation touch pro can't?

it's a defect that HTC has IGNORED

while the mogul did suck, the Touch Pro SUCKS EVEN MORE

faster processor
smaller, thiner phone
= more heat, with no where to go
