Ive seen this a few times on two FR phones (both up to date 2007.2). Yesterday, after using gps on the way to work tangogps locked up - some 10 minutes later when I pulled into the car park I picked the phone up and it was *very* warm to touch. I managed to exit tango (not always possible - its not the most stable app after running 30mins or so!) and checked the battery - ~38% when it was ~90% 45 minutes before. 10 minutes later in my office it was down to ~10% and still hot so I rebooted and recharged. This has happened maybe 5 times to me now. The other phone user had a flattened battery after a few hours - dont know the exact details but gps wasnt involved. The phone was hot enough that I was worried about putting it in my pocket in case the li-lion battery went up in smoke. I expected it to cool down once I had exited tango, but it didnt until reboot. I was more worried about damage than finding the root cause - next time!
