XT720 battery and heating issues

---

My wife's complaining that her X720 usually heats up and sometimes runs out of battery while she's at work. Since I'm not there I don't know exactly what is happening, but on inspection when she's back home, I can see that main battery usage was over 40% on

Cell standby. And she's not using the phone to make or receive calls all the time.
Is it possible that due to bad reception in her office area, the phone is constantly trying to go to 3G and then back to 2G, therefore using more power?
I guess if this is the case, the only solution would be set the phone to 2G only while she's on the office, or is there something else that can be done?

I have that problem with my phone too. It happens randomly after calling someone. I wish I knew how to fix it permanently, but my temporary fix is to shut the phone off and restart it.

Do ya using apps2sd for that mobile

When i used app2sd for my xt720, and the sd card have problem ( that time i didnot know) the battery drain very fast ...
100% > 40% after one night.
After I reformat and found one bad sector in sd card, i replace with new one and for now it's ok
You can try to run without the sd card or refomat the sd card
...

Its the 3G radio, use it on 2G and check it out, no heating whatsoever.

I've got a friend that has this heat problem too . Does it still happens after the most recent firmware upgrade (the one that ups the CPU to 720MHz)? It may be the 3G radio got stucked at a high gain after a call.

My xt720 has ran hot since I've got it. Only when I use it for extended periods. Usually at around 80 to 90 Fahrenheit highest I've seen it 108, I dont think its very good for the phone.

After the rom upgrade my xt 720 does not become hot any more.

I'm in the US so my phone came with the upgrade. Is it just the xt720 that gets hot or do other android phones get hot? And does anyone know wat a dangerous temp is for a phone?

What ROM upgrade? Is there a ROM upgrade anywhere?

Thats the way it is bro...
Its a milestone thing...
But if you use it in 2g mode,it will be cold and the battery life,will go 3 times more.
