I experience same hiberantion issue on my EE (not once on my PE) after upgrading to 2.2 .

I, like many others, have combed the web up and down for an answer. I have to admit I seriously thought to open up my EE and dezactivate the hinge switch so that it doesn't know I close it, didn't do it as I couldn't find any EE "autopsy" available to reffer to.

But the next best thing I do -and it works great for me- is to use the simple android Winamp. Find a low-bit rate mp3, put your EE to a golden silence and just close it so that LCD shuts down. It keeps the EE on, drains approx 30% of battery in 1 whole workday, so you can use the other 70% acc to your wishes. Doesn't even overheat.

It works great for me, better than wasting time to figure out exotic solutions.

Ps: PE charger works on EE and is like a cell-phone sized one.
