I've been working on the two most annoying problems for me. Battery drain and the problem where at the end of a call sometimes the screen would stay black and the phone would freeze. I was over on XDA going through the InCall Screen Tweak thread. For those that may not know, this app is cooked in and controls power and screen function during a call. Reading through the thread, some users were commenting on extreme battery drain with this app. Same rate as most of us. They also were having issues with the end of call lock ups. Here is what I came across and it seemed to have fixed both my problems. Although I have only tested for about 4 hours.
I was seeing at least 10% battery drain an hour before this reg edit. After, I am down to what I remember as a normal 1-2%. I tried the reg edit 3 times back and forth to verify. Also I placed about 25 calls and had no end of call lock ups
Here is a link to page 71 of the thread where one user had done extensive testing on battery drain while using this app and this reg edit. Previous pages (69) also contain good battery drain discussions. Overall the thread is great and the developer looks to be very responsive.

And here is the reg edit:
HKLM\Software\HTC\PHONE\FaceDownMuteRing
change to 0
Make sure to soft reset

If so, then no on mine, was set to 1 on my Standard version.

I looked into this and Here is a cab I made for the "FaceDownMuteRing" reg edit plus setting minimal default settings for the InCall ScreenTweak prog together in one cab for maximum battery saving affect, but may not be noticable to some users:
