This thread perked my curiosity, so I installed abc power meter to check mine. I have Outlook & 5 pop accounts that check for email every hr (used to be 30min), plus I have HTC Home running & also QuickMenu.

I disabled HTC Home, then ran abc power for 30min.....had an average of 52mA

With HTC Home running, and abc power for 30min......had a average of 66mA, but it had a spike of 450mA when all my email accounts checked for email....which brought the average up.

So I don't think HTC Home is the culprit. All testing had the backlight off after 30sec. I have a 2800mAh battery, but it's usually down to 20-30% by end of day, and it's about 18 months old, so it's probably nearing it end of life.
