It's Windows people. The O/S won't change your battery life by 90%. LOL
You would think so, but I was getting two full days out of my extended battery (genuine HTC) right up through Thursday night... Typically I would charge every other day and still have 10 to 20% left on the battery when I plugged it in and that was pretty heavy use (I burn through about 2500 min a month on average but mostly during weekdays for work).

Friday afternoon I loaded up the 6.5 update and then after it completed did a hard reset (per someone else's suggestion). Battery drain was immediate and quite evident and the phone remained hot (not warm) to the touch. Let the battery drain until it shut the phone off, removed the battery and let it all cool. Put the battery in and charged overnight to 100%, unplugged from the charger at 8:40 am on Saturday... No phone calls and received 3 text messages and phone was dead and off by 1:30 (with the extended battery). Put the original battery in, full charge and dead within 2 hours. In both cases the phone remained extremely hot (very similar to the issues with the original Touch Pro) and prior to the update the phone would get lukewarm during a call but otherwise was not warm at all.

It started immediately after the update the day before it worked fine..
