Revive Freerunner with USB power?

[William Kenworthy]

I'm having to do this on a regular basis - why?

1 out of every 3 or so nights, I wake up (~6-8hrs) and find the FR
dead. :(  Only GSM is running and its on dim&lock

The battery is always fully charged when checked just before I retire.

In some cases I have left it on charge, confirmed its charging and still
wake to a dead phone.
