I found that if you put the phone in airplane mode the phone no longer turns

off and screws up the battery. This seems to be the result of the "ice

cream sandwich" update that replaced the "gingerbread" operating system.

HTC is the responsible party that apparently is not taking responsibility

for fixing their program. I feel they want us thunderbolt owner to throw

our $600 phone in the junk drawer and buy the HTC One.

The device can still surf the web if you have wireless access and the

camera, flashlight and calculator are awesome. However, until HTC fixes ice

cream sandwich it will never be a phone again.
