After a number of months of acceptable battery life, my Hero abruptly began experiencing the same perpetual drain on the battery that I was having shortly after I got it. Basically, I had a light to normal use sort of day yesterday, and it was dead as a doornail by about 5 o'clock.
I did notice that the GPS icon was on all day, even when I turned off GPS, used a task killer and restated the phone. Anyone else have similar issues?
