EQO fine for 2 days then effectively "disables" itself and other advanced phone features?

Hi, I have an 8830 and got EQO last week and it worked perfectly fine for a couple days. I used it for chatting through msn and google talk. It was great!

Then, ironically at probably the least opportune moment (but that's irrelevant), the connection became disabled, and I couldn't re-enable it like usual by closing the app and reloading it. I then found that gmail, internet connectivity, and navigation, all wouldn't work either.

What also happened was that the 1XEV in the upper right corner had changed to 1xev (and sometimes 1x), and the battery use increased to the point where I would need to recharge every 20 hours or so, to the usual 48, and the signal strength went down to almost nothing.

Text messaging, phone communication and applications that did require external communication seemed to still worked fine.

Because of all this, I assumed that it was the network, but after the issue wasn't fixed in a few hours I started wondering, and decided that it must not be the problem after a day. I then thought of anything I had changed on the phone recently, and the only thing was installing EQO. After uninstalling the app and the required reboot, everything went back to normal.

Let me know if troubleshooters need more information.
