In the last couple of weeks, I have found that my T/X has
turned itself on, and remained on until the battery drains
down. I have the power down set to 1 minute, and I have
watched it stay on for 1 minute, turn off, then turn back on
in about 15 seconds. If I manually turn it off, it turns on
again.

Bluetooth is off. WiFi is off. I don't know what else it
could be, other than a bad power switch.

Has anyone else experienced this? Any ideas on how to solve
this?

There are a number of applications which can cause this behavior.
Audible, for example will cause a PalmOS PDA to stay on indefinitely
while it has an audiobook open and it is set to run in the background.
Look at any applications that can be set to run in the background as
potential suspects, MP3 players, audiobook applications, and the like.
Make sure that they are turned off and not set to run in the
background.

Also, check that PTunes is not running and / or make sure to disable
background play. I've had battery drain many times when my TX was new
to me.

And if all the other suggestions fail do a *hard* reset.
Then try it for awhile in it's factory fresh state. If
no problems then it's not the hardware. Reload programs
one at a time to find the culprit. This is the most
drastic step and only to be tried after all else fails.
Good Luck...
