Hi folks!
I decided to run a little test, one that arrrghhh and others have proposed several times: disable mobile data.
Two findings:
1. As expected, battery life is astonishing! I went to bed with 49% battery remaining and 8 hours later I still had 45%! That's great! With data enabled, my phone would be dead after that period of time. Clearly 3G plows through battery life.
2. I haven't had a single reboot or SOD. My phone has been up and running for 14 hours and 17 minutes.
So, speculating once again, is it possible that 3G and/or any app that uses 3G data is the culprit of the reboots and SOD's?
Maybe our radio software doesn't handle very well low or non optimal network conditions causing our phones to panic and freeze or restart.
Once again, I have no hard evidence, just pouring out my thoughts.
What do you folks think?

Just had a SOD.
The screen failed to wake up properly after a phone call finished.
To be clear - an SOD is where the phone is completely and utterly dead. The screen will NEVER wake no matter how much you try, usb/adb doesn't work, etc. The phone is dead, dead, dead. Correct?
Correct, this is what happened to me. The phone died completely after the phone called finished. I left it on the desk for a couple of minutes, but the phone never responded. As soon as I plugged in the usb cable to see if I could pull some logs the phone restarted.
Hrm, perhaps that wasn't an SOD. I find it interesting that the phone restarted when you plugged in USB - that means it was at least somewhat alive. Every true SOD I've had, the phone does nothing - even after plugging in USB.
Be a little more patient next time - give it 15 minutes, and try to wake it up a few times before giving up on it.

hm.. gladly this does not happen to me - my phone does frequent restarts ... that happens to me 2-3 times a day .. i guess this is a memory problem as multitaksing using whatsapp + facebook + browser + dialer replicates this behavior..
logs attached!
so far, battery life is very good and disabling data definitly works. also gps fix is here within 20-30 secs which is superb - btw i use the a-gps patch ver 2.2 from this thread
thanks for all you efforts!

By the way, my carrier runs a hybrid network (CDMA/GSM). Using GSM GPS works like a charm!
I was wondering how well this runs on the TP2. I'm considering buying one, and Android would be amazing.
You must understand the way cell tower location works is very different between GSM and CDMA. GSM actually locates using a triangulation method similar to GPS. CDMA basically has GPS info on each tower, and that tower reports the information to the device. I guess if your provider was dumb and put the wrong coordinates in the towers, they will be wrong - which is really odd, considering cell towers use GPS timing to coordinate signal broadcast...
Happened again, I made a phone call, the screen went of when I raised the phone near my face, called finished and the screen never came on again, the phone was completely unresponsive. Left alone for a while. Nothing. As as I plugged in the USB cable it rebooted.
Thing is, for me this issue is easy to replicate. It happens only on long calls (over 10 minutes give or take). On short calls I never experience this. But during long calls it happens each and every time.
Posting last kmsg.
