Take a guess
A lot of people patiently waited for HTC/Sprints MR update for the HTC Hero in hopes that it would fix the 100% awake time issue. So far it seems the issue has been fixed for a majority of users; however some people are still experiencing issues.

I personally have a feeling that there must be some common connection for those having problems. Maybe a particular app or setting. So with out further ado lets figure the issue out!

By using a set format it should be easier for people to quickly scan the information and see any connections. Please use this format:
